Introduction: Are you over the age of 30 and notice: 1. you struggle to find time in your schedule for healthy habits due to family and work commitments 2. minor aches and pains becoming more persistent. 3. nagging health problems, or things taking longer to heal. 4. reduced levels of many hormones (such as thyroid or sex hormones). 5. new food sensitivities and intolerances. 6. you’re having a harder time building strength / muscle or losing fat; shifts in where you store your body fat. 7. a decline in your athletic performance (even if you’re awesome, you probably won’t be competitive against 20-year-olds). Does this sound like you? If you just answered yes to any of these questions, I am the person to help you! My name is Daryll and I am a fitness pro located in Conroe, Tx. I help people over 36 fight back against age-related declines and ultimately have the body that works for the life they want to live. My goal is to help you make your 30’s, 40’s, 50’s and 60's your best years yet. To accomplish this, we will: 1. Train with the mindset of getting better every year 2. Put a premium on what I (and my mentors) believe to be the 5 attributes of longevity: -body composition -strength -power -conditioning -mobility By focusing on these 5 physical qualities we can meet the needs of a variety of goals. Whether your goal is to increase muscle mass, decrease body fat or maximize your performance to compete in an upcoming event, join a league, or just keep up with your kids, I can help you create the body that works for the life you want to live. I believe just as athletes strive to improve their performance through effective training techniques, so too can you benefit from an optimally planned training program designed to develop a healthier, better shaped body with excellent performance qualities. My experience has allowed me to understand organizational skills and build step by step systems that provide structure for athlete (everyday to competitive) development programs. Also, this experience has allowed me to assemble what I believe to be the necessary and specific components of a training session that target injury-prone areas and maximize skills necessary to succeed in living an active to high performance lifestyle after the age of 35. My methods have come from in-the-trenches coaching with my clients and mentoring from industry recognized fitness professionals. My training systems have evolved from years of clinics, conferences, continuing education, facility visits, phone conversations and discussions in private Facebook groups. My clients have recognized me for providing an effective performance-based training experience in a welcoming and positive culture, through individual planning and skilled coaching. See reviews. Work with me and you will enjoy: -Nutrition and fitness info that is up to date and fits you -A dedicated coach that cares about you and your success -Coaching you can follow without stressing over unimportant details -Results that are more dependable and consistent rather than hit and miss What you will not find working with me: -Hard to follow diets -Complete restrictions from your favorite foods -Feeling tired from too many workouts -Confusion about how to exercise the right way

I know a lot of personal trainers and the difference between Daryll and the rest is the difference between knowing and understanding (wisdom). Knowledge is knowing tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is knowing not to use tomato in a fruit salad. Daryll gets fitness, he understands fitness. All you need to do is talk with Daryll, then you will understand. Many personal trainers retain their fitness knowledge only long enough to pass the certification exam but would fail if they took the exam today. Some, not many, would pass the exam today. The problem is the training courses teach the material to calculate answers without any requirement to understand why the formula works. Why is this important? Wouldn't you rather get maximum results for the time and money invested? Daryll puts in the effort required to maximize results without injury. Not only can he assess your current fitness level he can accurately predict future results. Amazing. This how it goes. After 3 or 4 weeks you will feel the difference. After 6-8 weeks others will notice the difference. Actually in the first week you will notice something very different when you reach the last rep of the last set in your work out, it is phenomenal. It's awesome, it feels like you could not do one more rep. If there were a challenge between Daryll and an NFL Strength Coach, my money would be on Daryll. If anyone wants to take me up on this challenge, Daryll knows how to get a hold of me. Patrick Young

While in graduate school, I participated in bodybuilding. That was 15 years ago. I've generally stayed in shape since then but after a few years of commuting up to 4 hours a day by car, bus and train, I started having low back pains in my late thirties. That's when I called Daryll. I defined my goals of strengthening my core and then building endurance. He then designed every workout around those 2 main goals. When we started, I was skeptical because the workouts seemed to elementary. But within 3 or 4 days of doing the same workouts, my lower back pains were gone. After another week, I graduated to different exercises. In addition to Daryll clearly understanding and responding to my goals, I appreciated that he worked out with me on occasion - not to the extent of breaking a sweat as I did, but enough to show me he was in it with me. That's how my bodybuilding trainer worked out with me 15 years ago, and it made a tremendous difference in my motivation. I feel more challenged in that way compared to when someone is just telling me what to do. Another thing I needed from Daryll was to design programs that did not require me to be in the gym beyond the first couple of weeks because I simply did not have time. I needed to be able to do the workouts at home, in a hotel, or even in my office. Again, he delivered by giving me workouts that did not depend on gym equipment or special facilities. And I was not dependent on him, which showed me he was more interested in seeing me get stronger into the future than making money. If your trainer makes you think you can't workout without him or her, you better rethink the motivation of that trainer. Maybe I'm just a stubborn and independent person, but I believe it's the job of trainers to work themselves out of a job by educating trainees on how to help themselves. I cannot think of anything that could have been improved - maybe a forewarning that the workout may seem basic. Just do what he says, how he says. Because he takes the time to listen, assess where you are first, and has decades of experience and study behind him, you will see results. This especially applies to my age group (now 40 y.o.) and up. These are the folks he's most interested in, hence the name, swagger. In order to get my swagger back, I had to deal with the back pain.
