My passion for fitness and wellness was kindled in high school athletics where I participated in football, powerlifting, track and field as well as a comprehensive offseason strength and conditioning regime. It was then that I discovered what miraculous machines our bodies are and what magnificent things we are capable of. It was from that moment on I knew I wanted to pursue a career in helping others make their fitness dreams come true. I became a certified fitness instructor soon after high school and began working in my local gym. While there I helped numerous clients spanning across multiple demographics achieve their health and wellness goals, yet I found myself wanting to further my education and become the best trainer I could possible be. This drove me to attended Texas State University where I obtained my BS in Exercise and Sports Science. In an effort to extend my knowledge even further I am currently studying to become a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist through the National Strength and Conditioning Association, which is the highest standard of personal training certification available to date. I have also been fulfilling my dreams of being a competitor in the National Physique Comittee at the national level for the past 5 years. Fitness is my most sincere passion and I take my profession very serious. I am constantly trying to better myself and chase my dreams, and it is my goal in life to help as many people as I can fulfill their dreams along the way. I take the time to get to know your needs and fitness goals personally and tailor fit the correct program to ensure it is an overall fun and fulfilling experience that results in not only achieving short term goals, but ultimately leads to a lifestyle change that promises many more healthy and happy years to come. I practice what I preach and I have the knowledge, skills and experience to guide you to your ideal fitness goal, whatever it may be.
Every clients' goals and needs are different so no two training sessions will be the same. Each session will be tailor fit to get you one step closer to your specific vision of where you want to be physically and mentally. In general the first few minutes will be spent warming up your body in a specific fashion to suit your workout of the day. During this time I also break down the workout agenda and point out how it ties into your fitness program as a whole as well as answer any questions or concerns you may have. We only have a short time together so I believe in making the workouts as efficient as possible. I design each workout to where all exercises cohesively tie together to achieve the maximum training response possible. I gain a tremendous amount of satisfaction from my clients enjoying their workouts so I do my best to make it a fun experience, but I will also push you to do and be your best every time. The last few minutes of the session will be spent properly cooling the body down and will include a brief Q&A to gain information on how I can make your program better each and every session.
I have had multiple success stories, but the one I take the most pride in involved a 36 y/o male army veteran who approached me in the gym one day desperate for advice. He was unhappy with his current health status and was beginning to feel hopeless because he had tried every diet he could find in a magazine and every workout routine he could find online and nothing was working. I took the time to sit down and discuss what exactly it was that he wanted to achieve. Taking this information into consideration, as well as performing an Initial fitness assessment, I developed a scientifically backed program that incorporated diet suggestions, training regimes that would specifically target his goals, and lifestyle change suggestions outside the gym that would assist him reach his goals. He began the program at 236 lbs, 32 percent body fat, a 43" waist, and a max bench press of 155 lbs. After working with him three times a week over 12 weeks he saw vast improvements. His fat percentage dropped down to 14 percent, his waist dropped to 36 inches, and his max bench press sky rocketed to 230 lbs. All this while only dropping 7 lbstotal, which is indicative of burning fat and gaining muscle simultaneously. He had literally transformed his entire body, and his life, in less than three months time. He fully bought into the program and did exactly as I instructed him in and out of the gym and therefore was able to achieve phenomenal results. I assure that I can do the same for you.
