Birthdate: November, 1983 Height: 5 8 Weight: 190 contest to 220 (off season) [email protected] My name is Juan Perez a.k.a Chino. I recently graduated from The University of Massachusetts in Amherst with a Bachelors degree in Kinesiology (Exercise Science). Before college I attended Haverhill High School in Haverhill, Ma, where I was born and raised. During my high school is when I picked up my love for the sport of bodybuilding. I was never really into playing sports, but once I got my hands on the iron I was hooked. I started working out when I was 13 and freshman in high school. I did not exactly understand the science behind training and nutrition, but I trained 5 days a week. It was my sport and I was my own coach and team. By my senior year I realized that diet was 80% of my results so I began learning about the correct foods and different training styles for different purposes. This was something I felt I could do for a lifetime and for a living. After my senior year I went off to college as a Sport Management major, after one year I realized this was not exactly what I was looking for, so I decided to turn my efforts towards the Exercise Science major. Here I found the science to explain what was going on within the body when training and how foods are broken down for energy. This helped me develop as an aspiring bodybuilder. I was learning how to apply the science to the gym and in the kitchen. Once I saw how much I enjoyed doing this I slowly started changing my mind about where I wanted my career to go. Although I am still interested in a master's degree in physical therapy. I feel assisting in injury recovery will still allow me to make a change in the lives of others. I love feeling of satisfaction I get from helping someone reach their fitness goals. I am currently working as a fitness professional/ lifestyle coach for Custom Built Personal Training. Where I am training for a position as a fitness director. As a firness director I will be developing personal trainers into fitness professionals and teaching them how to develop result driven programs and working on their ability to build on client relationships. I believe personal training is exactly what it sounds like, personal.
