In March 2004 of had the distinct privilege of competing in a Six Pack Abs competition that I started at my job. It was a 3-month 12 week competition that initially involved both males and female but as time went on it became apparent that it had to be separated. I am happy to say that I was the victor of that competition but in the end, all the participants achieved the goal of better weight management, proper eating habits and an increase in energy. From that competition, I had a vision that this motivation and discipline could benefit friends and members of my company and community by providing them with an affordable means of personal fitness. I got certified by the National Sports Professional Association, attained CPR certification and became a member of IDEA FIT, a nationally recognized fitness association, and began soliciting members within my circle of friends, and by word of mouth my business grew rapidly. Within a three month period one of my trainees lost 24lbs, and went from a size 12 to a size 9/10. Another member went down 2 sizes, gained muscle mass and showed a significant improvement in their physical strength. Each member was so pleased with my work ethic and results that they referred at least one friend. I am aware that each individual member has specific needs and goals so I prepare meal plans, assessments and fitness regimens unique to each person. I give free advice to my co-workers who are seeking to make that life long commitment to better health. Currently, I am training a few of my clients for an upcoming six-pack abs competition.
