Training in Ringwood
Ringwood is a borough of about 12,000 residents in Passaic County, set deep in the Ramapo Mountains along the New York state border. Ringwood State Park, with its historic Skylands Manor and 96-acre New Jersey Botanical Garden, is the crown jewel of the community. The borough has a rural, mountain-town atmosphere with winding roads, forested lots, and a strong sense of self-reliance among its residents. For outdoor fitness enthusiasts, there are few places in North Jersey that can match the natural training terrain available here.
Popular Training Venues

Ringwood residents are outdoors-oriented families and individuals who chose mountain living for its natural beauty and active lifestyle opportunities. Many clients are already fit from hiking, skiing, and yard work but want structured strength training to improve performance and prevent injuries. The typical Ringwood client is 35 to 55 years old, already active outdoors, and looking for a program that fills gaps in their fitness — usually upper-body strength and core stability.
Key Benefits
A Plan That Fits Your Lifestyle
Trevor builds nutrition strategies around your real life — business dinners, travel weeks, family meals, food preferences. You will never be told to eat boiled chicken and broccoli six times a day.
Protein-Optimized Eating for Body Composition
Adequate protein intake is the single most impactful nutrition variable for both fat loss and muscle gain. Trevor helps you consistently hit your protein targets in ways that are practical and enjoyable.
Education and Empowerment That Last Beyond Coaching
Trevor teaches you to understand what is best for your body — reading nutrition labels, estimating portion sizes, building balanced meals, and making informed food choices independently. The goal is to help you lead a healthy lifestyle on your own, not to create dependency on a coach.
Strategic Flexibility Without Guilt
Trevor teaches you how to incorporate meals out, social events, and your favorite foods into your plan without guilt or "falling off the wagon." Sustainable nutrition includes the foods you enjoy — it just manages the context and frequency.
Our Methodology
Trevor uses a hierarchy-of-importance approach to nutrition coaching: total caloric intake first, protein intake second, food quality third, and meal timing fourth. This order reflects the research on what actually drives body composition outcomes. Most clients see significant results just by addressing the first two levels — eating an appropriate amount of food and getting enough protein — without obsessing over supplements, superfoods, or nutrient timing.
Depending on the client's preference and personality, Trevor offers two frameworks: a macro-tracking approach for those who like data and precision, and a habit-based approach for those who prefer simpler guidelines. Both are effective; the best method is the one you will actually follow. As NASM-certified trainer Trevor Cassidy explains: "Nutrition does not need to be complicated — it needs to be consistent. Most clients get 80% of their results from nailing calories and protein." Check-ins every one to two weeks allow Trevor to assess adherence, review progress, and make adjustments as your body adapts.
How It Works
Nutrition Assessment & Food Diary Review
Trevor reviews a three- to seven-day food diary to understand your current eating patterns, caloric intake, protein consumption, and areas of opportunity. You also discuss food preferences, allergies, cooking habits, and lifestyle factors.
Calorie and Macro Target Calculation
Based on your body composition, activity level, and goals, Trevor calculates appropriate caloric and macronutrient targets. These numbers are starting points — they will be refined based on how your body responds over the first two to four weeks.
Nutrition Framework Delivery
You receive a practical nutrition framework — either macro-based or habit-based — with specific guidelines, sample meal ideas, restaurant strategies, and a clear explanation of the rationale behind each recommendation.
Biweekly Check-Ins & Plan Adjustments
Every two weeks, Trevor reviews your food logs, weight trends, energy levels, and training performance. Caloric targets, macro ratios, or meal strategies are adjusted based on objective data and your subjective experience.
Ongoing Education & Habit Building
Over time, Trevor introduces new nutrition skills — meal prepping, label reading, dining-out strategies, travel nutrition — building your competence so you can eventually manage your nutrition independently with confidence.
