Vinh

I'm Vinh, a Marine Corps veteran and co-founder of Chosen Set Coaching in Dallas. I've been training for more than 12 years, and my focus is strength, aesthetics and injury prevention, with programming built to keep you strong for life.

Fitness became more meaningful to me while volunteering with the USO, where I worked with World War II veterans and saw firsthand how physical decline can take away independence and quality of life. Since then I've coached in very different settings: as a university fitness instructor in Guatemala, a military group fitness instructor in Haiti, and a physical injury and recovery specialist for the U.S. Embassy community in Saudi Arabia, where I also helped promote fitness and teach people the facts behind health and exercise.

Those experiences taught me that fitness is about much more than how you look. Being strong means having the energy to take care of your family, play with your kids, keep up with your hobbies and handle everyday life without limits. I work best with beginners building their first foundation, people bouncing back from injuries, and anyone who wants to stay strong and independent as they age.

My goal is never to make you dependent on a trainer. I've worked with clients who struggled with consistency or didn't know how to structure their training. Through personalized programming, accountability and education, they built better habits, got stronger, improved their physique and gained real confidence in the gym. I want you to leave with the knowledge to keep progressing long after our sessions end.

I reply to texts the same day and stay in close contact between sessions. You can train with me in the gym, in your home anywhere in Dallas, or virtually from anywhere, in English or Vietnamese.

Outside of coaching, you'll find me on the golf course or planning my next trip. I've traveled to nearly 30 countries, and each one has given me a greater appreciation for how differently people live and the experiences that shape us.

At the end of the day, this work is about taking care of people first. If you're ready to build strength that carries into the rest of your life, let's get started.
