I love fitness, and what it can do for you. About 5 years ago I was introduced to a warehouse gym and by the end of the first session I went to, I literally fell in love with weights. When I would think of working out I always thought of the torture of cardio such as the elliptical and treadmill. This gym didn’t even have that equipment. We focused on dumbbells and barbells. I fell in love. I didn’t even know how to squat before going to this gym. Going forward I loved it so much I starting going twice a day. I lost 30 pounds in about a year, I gained muscle and was so much stronger than I ever was. I was more confident had more energy and saw I was more productive. I felt an overwhelming feeling to share with everyone. I started looking into getting personal trainer certified. I studied for about 2 years and passed in 2021. I started training clients immediately. I saw I was really good at it. I believe I have a different approach for people, because I didn’t grow up in sports nor excising. So when I have a client who never worked out before I know their struggles and I know what they are going through. It was and is easier for me to relate to them and offer my opinions and experience. I love the connection I have with my clients on a personal level. I help them be the best they can be.
