Meet our Founder

As a leader, partner, son, friend—I wish I learned this earlier in life.

Hi, I’m Phil. I believe everyone deserves to know how to create meaningful relationships with friends, family and coworkers. My journey started with a failure—a missed promotion due to poor work relationships that led me to actively invest in my relational fitness. I've spent the last half decade researching the science of human connection and it completely changed my life. Now I'm a relational fitness coach and have trained individuals, leaders, and teams from organizations like Google, the UN, and Intuitive.


Our mission is to make relational fitness accessible and approachable for anyone, whether you're 26 or 73. Because there's nothing more important to our lives than the quality of our connections to each other.

Miguel

Startup Founder

Scientifically, purposefully improving your relationships is really time-effective, low-hanging fruit. Incredibly valuable to learn. The research felt robust and I gained new perspectives and tools on how to increase intimacy without relying on luck.

Sogole

Dentist

This program gave me practical tools to improve my relationships, both personally and professionally. I learned how to balance vulnerability, give and receive feedback, and communicate more effectively through hands-on activities and live coaching. The experience also helped me learn more about myself. The material is clear and actionable, and the group was engaged and supportive. Highly recommended for anyone looking to build deeper connections.

Mark

Managing Partner

I think that so many people can benefit from a program like this. I would recommend all to take it. It really helped me improve my work relationships and deepen the connection with my fiancé.

Ben

Award-winning 3D animator

The program completely changed how I communicate and connect. I made some new friends and community at my gym. I started dating someone and moved in with her recently. The mix of research-backed insights and practical exercises made a huge impact. I feel more confident and relational fitness is something I think about every day now.

Anuradha

Writer

I got a lot from practicing listening and sharing with others, and I learned as a result that I can indeed be vulnerable and sit in my feelings rather than intellectualizing them. This workshop helped me move past that hurdle to strengthen a friendship I didn’t think could be repaired.

Gio

Engineering Manager

As a new manager I found relational fitness complimented my on the job training beautifully. The class allowed me to delve more deeply in a safe space, practicing skills in a setting that is more comfortable than the office. It was eye opening for my relationships. Incredible value.

Ric

Warfare Officer, US Navy

The whole program is awesome. The way Phil facilitates each session, and his ability to make clear and objective observations that are both insightful and constructive, is very impressive. The way the lessons are constructed and presented from a pedagogical standpoint, and the specific ideas and frameworks that are chosen have been super valuable for me.

Hicham

CEO

The best training my team has ever done. Valuable, insightful, engaging. We immediately incorporated the strategies into our work with clients and each other.

Lisa

Sr. Product Designer

This program really helped me see how I need to be much more intentional in my relationships and how to prioritize more community and connection.
