MY PASSION, MY STORY!
​
Like many, my weight – and maintaining it – has been a constant struggle. From as far back as I can remember I was always a “big boy.” Unfortunately, it wasn’t until my mid to late 20’s that I started to take some interest in my health and wellness. I remember it like it was yesterday; it was a proud moment! My sister (Maureen) and I took that first step; deciding to join a local gym, Bally Total Fitness. I was pretty consistent for a while but somewhere along the way I fell off. I found myself paying for a membership that wasn’t being used and not taking advantage of all of the amenities the gym had to offer. I think part of why I slacked off was intimidation. I was intimidated by the large, unfamiliar gym equipment, guys with nice “beach bodies,” and classes I thought I could and would never be able to get through.
It wasn’t until a year or two after joining the gym that I realized working out could actually be fun and rewarding, especially if done on a regular basis. If I had only figured this out earlier! I soon began to invest in myself and enlisted the services of some awesome trainers (Antoine Edwards (Watch Me FLEX Fitness), Reggie Russell (Enhanced Training Champions), and Aaron Lindsay (Fitness Theory). I and also started taking some of the classes offered at the gym. I selected classes I thought would not only be fun but would also be a challenge. For me, those classes were Advanced Step (Michelle Gibson, Representing Women of Figure/Howard Harriston), Double Step (Howard), Conditioning Training (Howard), Boot Camp and Combination Training (Michelle), and Freestyle Jump Rope (Michelle). Each of these trainers/fitness professionals taught me a lot and have, in some way, shaped and molded me into the fitness professional I have become and still aspire to be. It is because of the seeds they planted that I have developed a passion for health and wellness.
