Norm brings nearly two decades of fitness and coaching experience to the Build Health MN team. His passion for helping people move better, feel stronger, and live healthier started at Gold’s Gym in Shakopee (2005–2010), where he laid the foundation for his career in strength and conditioning.
From 2010 to 2022, Norm served as a Group Training Instructor and Coordinator at Life Time Fitness, leading countless clients through transformative programs that blended performance training with practical lifestyle coaching. Since 2022, he’s continued his mission at Northside Barbell, specializing in weight loss, performance enhancement, and general fitness.
Born and raised in North Minneapolis, Norm takes pride in giving back to his community. When he’s not coaching clients at Build Health MN, you can find him on the mat as a wrestling coach at Minneapolis North, helping student-athletes build discipline, confidence, and character through sport.
At Build Health MN, Norm is known for his no-nonsense approach, deep technical knowledge, and genuine commitment to helping every member reach their goals, one rep, one day, and one win at a time.
