How would you describe your training philosophy?
Every workout puts you one step closer to your goals, and your goals will always be evolving. I believe in using muscle confusion to build strength, muscle,e and assist in weight loss. Fitness is not a temporary adjustment but a complete lifestyle change. I also believe fitness is important not only to your physical health but to your mental health as well, as fitness helps to create a healthier, happier life.
What are you passionate about?
I am passionate about helping others look and feel like their best version of themselves. There is no better feeling than a client telling you that what you are teaching them is changing their lives. I am passionate about motivating people who doubt themselves and inspiring them to believe in themselves.
What made you decide to be a personal trainer?
I have always loved helping and inspiring others. When I fell in love with fitness, I knew this would be the perfect job to spread positivity, change lives, and empower others with fitness too. I wanted to learn, love, grow, and give back all the knowledge I gain to those eager to accept the knowledge.
What is one piece of advice you would give to someone who is just starting their fitness journey?
There is no magic equation to fitness; what works for one person may not necessarily work for the next. There are many different styles of training for many different personalities. The key is to find out what works best for you and stay self-disciplined. Things will not always be joyous and easy. There will be days you don't think you have it in you, but I assure you, once you let that self-discipline take over and you leave the gym, you will feel victorious that you pushed through and didn’t give up on yourself. There is no better feeling than overcoming self-doubt. That’s when you truly find out what you’re made of, your capabilities, mental growth, and physical strength. You've got this.
