Why are you passionate about fitness?
Changing lives! If that does not fire you up, I do not know what will. Seeing people’s reactions when they hit their goal for the first time is such an exciting feeling. It's like seeing the spark rekindle and lights another fire back underneath them. It is amazing to watch when fitness corresponds to their life outside of the gym and they go from stagnant to on fire for what's next in their journey.
Why did you decide to become a certified personal trainer?
To teach people that anything is possible if you put your mind to it. I want to make an impact on people's lives. I want to be the change that helps take people from the state they’re in and pushing them to the next level.
What has been your most rewarding experience as a fitness professional?
Changing people’s mindsets from "this is impossible" to "I am capable". I really like when I can just get to know people and their story. I love getting to know who they are and why they are in the gym in the first place. Of course working with them on the floor to crush their goals is the most rewarding part.
What is the biggest challenge for you as a personal trainer and health professional?
Working with people who would rather rely on a social media influencer who teach unsafe movements, rather than a coach that's in front of them and has their best interest at heart. You have to trust your trainer
