The Aegis Collective

We weren’t meant to do this alone.

The Aegis Collective (AC) is a men's group rooted in movement, nature, and honest connection—designed for those ready to challenge outdated ideas of masculinity and create something more grounded, more present, and more real.

Through physical activity, hikes, “broga,” meditation, reflection, and real conversation, we explore what it means to show up fully—in our bodies, our relationships, and our lives. We meet once or twice a month: in nature, in the gym, or virtually. Each session is an invitation to move, grow, and connect.

Derived from Greek mythology, aegis refers to a protective shield or cloak, often associated with the gods Zeus and Athena. It symbolizes protection, support, and divine strength.

The Aegis Collective, evokes the idea of a modern shield—not one that hides, but one that supports, uplifts, and guides men toward deeper connection, courage, and emotional strength.

This space is for you if you’re craving:

  • More purpose

  • More community

  • More emotional and physical resilience

  • More of yourself

This isn’t just about fitness. It’s about becoming more alive. More honest. More connected—to yourself, your body, and other men doing the work.

You may know me as a personal trainer, retreat leader, and soon-to-be mental health counselor. I’ve spent years building spaces that blend movement, mental health, and adventure. From the gym floor to the red rock canyons of Southern Utah to the rolling hills of Tuscany, the goal is the same:

To create spaces where men can grow through movement and shared experience.

What Members Are Saying

"I came for the hike. I stayed for the honesty. The Aegis Collective gave me something I didn’t know I needed—real connection, deep movement, and a space where I could actually show up as myself."

"I didn’t expect to feel this seen—or this strong. The Aegis Collective challenged me physically, but it also helped me soften in ways I didn’t know I needed."

FAQ

Is this therapy?
Nope. The Aegis Collective is not therapy. It’s a men’s movement-based group experience—designed to be therapeutic, but not clinical. We blend emotional awareness, intentional conversation, and shared physical challenges, but this is not a substitute for licensed mental health treatment.

Do I need to be “in shape” to join?
Not at all. If you have a body and a willingness to move, you’re welcome here. This is about connection and growth, not competition or aesthetics.

What kind of movement are we talking about?
We rotate between hikes, functional movement, “broga” (a no-BS approach to yoga), breathwork, and mindful training. All levels and experiences are welcome.

Where does this take place?
We meet in person (in NYC ) and virtually. Retreat-style trips and outdoor meetups happen seasonally, and we build the rhythm around the group.

What if I’m nervous to join?
That’s normal—and a sign you’re ready. This is a low-pressure, high-support space. All you need to bring is a willingness to show up.

Let’s move through this, together.
