PERSONAL FITNESS TRAINER
Information about me and my approach to personal training
Not too many years ago I found myself weighing close to 180 lbs at a height of 5'7" and struggling with weight loss. My lifestyle consisted of not working out, eating what was quick and convenient (mainly fast food) and, on top of it all, I was smoking! After trying many of the "miracle pills" and quick weight loss programs, I learned that they were just that, a quick fix! As quickly as the weight came off (if it came off), it seemed to return even quicker. This "Yo-Yo" effect was not only unhealthy but also insane, leaving me feeling even more unmotivated and discouraged.
Perhaps some of you can relate to what I was going through. In my case, I realized that the amount of money I was spending on quick weight loss programs did not justify the short-lived benefits, if any, that I recieved. I began to look into the option of consulting with a personal fitness trainer - a decision that would change my life. It was not until I hired a personal trainer in Houston that I was able to lose the weight and keep it off. My trainer not only motivated me to exercise but also educated me on how to work out effectively using weight training and cardiovascular conditioning. In addition, I learned about the importance of proper nutrition. These three elements are vital to successfully losing and subsequently maintaining body weight. Six months later I weighed 135 lbs, had more energy, felt better about myself and was able to quit smoking.
It was this experience that motivated me to become a certified personal fitness trainer. Perhaps the experiences I have had with trying different weight loss methods has given me the ablility to relate to the struggles that many go through. It is the trainer's role to not only motivate and educate their clients but to also understand each individual's situation, challenge them, and hold them accountable to their goals. Personal fitness training should go beyond certification - it's about sharing experiences and actually caring about and understanding my clients needs, where they have been, where they want to go and seeing them through to achieving their goals.
I hope you will gain some benefit and perhaps some encouragement from information contained within this site. If you have any questions, comments, or wish to inquire about a free consultation, feel free to contact me. Best of luck to you!
