My Journey to Fitness
Once upon a time, I embarked on a quest towards a healthier me.
Artist, Trainer, Coach
I began my journey to fitness in one of the hardest ways: I was shamed into it. As an isolated kid growing up, (my parents worked often, and I didn’t live near other kids), I didn’t have many friends. I turned to video games and food for comfort, leaving me out of shape and socially maladjusted.
Eventually, I found a connection in theatre: all the imagined worlds to live in and parts to play resonated with me. This, of course, didn’t help an overweight kid in his early teens already facing ridicule every day for being the fat kid; now I was the fat, theatre kid too. I couldn’t change their minds, but I could change myself.
It wasn’t a healthy start. I’ve hit every fad and fitness myth. I’ve starved myself, I’ve done endless cardio, I’ve bought the workout DVDs, I’ve been led down a path that doesn’t work for me time and time again.
Then I got smart. I got educated and certified by the International Sports Sciences Association. I started training in 2016, and have continued to get more and more educated since then, picking up Nutrition Coaching, Corrective Exercise Specialist, and many clients since then.
The work is never done, and I continue to find ways to grow and care for myself to set an example for my clients and my audience. I’m very grateful to say business has been good for me!
