HEAD COACH & FOUNDER

BIO: From a young age Homer has been focused on the well being of the people around him. After an education in the arts, Homer spent the beginning of his career manning the operations of a New York PR Agency before venturing out into freelance photography. It was during this time that he discovered mental and physical benefits of daily exercise, but it wasn’t until he moved to Los Angeles in 2015, and subsequently got sober, that he made it his career. In 2018 Homer opened a new location of Venice’s DEUCE Gym in Hollywood, followed by the short-lived-but-now-legendary Bodybuilding Club brand. 2020 offered some perspective and after surviving the mandatory gym closures, Homer realized exactly the kind of gym he wanted. It took over a year to find the right home, but when our Hyperion location became available Rodeo Athletic Club was born.

WORK WITH HOMER: Homer’s clients are ready to go the distance. Sure, we can sprint toward summer or get you into that wedding dress on time, but what 1-on-1 training is really about is honing your skills, learning how to access intensity, and building a foundation to continue training for decades to come. Homer will meet you were you are at and then walk you through that process with care and dedication so that you are always excited for your sessions and come away feeling a little better than the day before. Easy going but committed to your progress, Homer is a great coach for beginners and experienced athletes alike.
