Meet Coach Sam
Veteran, coach and founder. I built Lifestyle Body Academy so that ordinary people in Newnan could train with a plan, not a guess.

2013 — it started with the Army
Like everyone, I've had my share of successes and failures. My early twenties were about drinking and partying — until enlisting in the United States Army prompted a complete lifestyle shift. It was the best decision I ever made. I graduated basic and advanced individual training at Fort Benning, Georgia as an infantryman, and the work demanded I stay in top physical shape. Stationed overseas in Vilseck, Germany, I built physical endurance, goal setting, integrity, responsibility and leadership. My mindset changed for good.
Europe, and a wider view
While in Europe I travelled, volunteered and threw myself into different cultures. I interviewed with the Estonian News, represented the United States military in discussions on training and camaraderie between nations, and took part in Operation Atlantic Resolve. From commanding teams as a squad leader to training through the Estonian landscape, I kept finding out what I could endure and achieve.
2017 — the next chapter
After four years of service, medals and recognised accomplishments, I received an honourable discharge and came home. In 2022 I hit two long-held goals: a Black Belt in Tae Kwon Do, and a B.S. in Health and Personal Fitness Management with a minor in Business from Clayton State University.
Why Lifestyle Body Academy exists
My passion is not just improving a physique — it's transforming a lifestyle. Fitness lifts every other part of life. When you have confidence in your health and in yourself, it ignites a change in your mindset that pushes you toward bigger things. It took me time to discover this truth: we all have the ability to unleash our own potential.
“It's not just about the beginning or the end — true growth happens through the journey.”
That's why I encourage everyone to Embrace the Journey. I live by these principles, and I want to empower you to make them your own as you build your body and your mind.
