What can
clients expect out of a training session with you? They
can expect motivation, fun times and an amazing workout, leaving much happier
than when they arrived.
What is
your own greatest physical or fitness-related accomplishment? Changing
my entire body when I was younger by losing well over 50 pounds, and then
putting over 30 pounds of muscle back on in a short period of time. The
experience led me to become a personal trainer.
What is
the most rewarding part about being a personal trainer? Changing
people’s lives and hearing them tell me that.
What is
your No. 1 piece of advice for people who have a fitness goal, whether they
want to lose 10 pounds or complete an Ironman?
Make sure you are ready to commit and want it more then anything. Also, take a
very balanced approach and make it a priority.
What is
one fitness-related misconception that drives you crazy? One
size fits all. Everyone’s body chemistry is different, so if something works
for someone it doesn’t mean it will always work for everyone else.
What is
your favorite music to workout to? Music I can’t
understand that makes me want to move something heavy!
What is
your favorite pre-workout nutritional routine? Usually
a shake that is light on the stomach with a balance of protein, carbohydrates
and amino acids.
What is
your favorite post-workout recovery meal? Sweet
potatoes with chicken or a piece of lean meat. A balanced protein to carbohydrate
shake with amino acids as well.
What is
the one thing you find yourself repeating over and over again to client? Yes,
you can do this. How is your nutrition? What have you done since I saw you
last? How have you been sleeping?
Is there
anything else you think sets you apart as a trainer?
I’m passionate. I practice what I preach. I try to experience everything that I
challenge my clients to do. I am very positive all of the time. I focus on my
clients. I care about my clients. This is my career and passion, and I make
what I do my biggest priority. I never leave a dull moment with a client, and I
never forget anything they tell me. And most of all, I change people’s lives!
