FAQs
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
About 8 years ago, I came across some very unflattering pictures of me while at the beach. The overweight guy that I saw was not something I wanted to be for another second. I quickly began making changes to improve myself. Shortly after I achieved my goal weight, I began researching local personal trainer certification courses I could take. The process of transforming my body wasn't difficult at all, in fact, I enjoyed all the changes and didn't seem to stall. It basically uncovered my passion for fitness and nutrition, so I put 2 and 2 together and decided I'd give personal training a whirl. I have been hooked since.
- What types of customers have you worked with?
Many of times, the men and women who inquire about my services are looking to lose weight, and simply be fit. But lately, I have been working with clients who are getting married in the next 6 months or so, and really want to look incredible for their big day. I also work with those who are coming off a serious injury and want to start building their strength up again.
- Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?
All my clients are special to me, and I am very proud of all of them. To me there are no goals that are too small or too big. Most recently, a couple of my clients had never been on a meal plan or had a training regimen, so just adhering to my plans was a big deal. From watching my clients struggle with pre-workout stretches to eventually running circles around circuit training and intervals, makes me very proud to be in this line of work. I think having a client tell me that they are wearing sz 2 jeans for the first time since high school, or that they have to buy new clothes because the stuff they have, keeps falling off, is probably one of the best things I've heard.
