I believe that when you set a goal, and truly commit to it, you commit to a lifestyle. You train not only your body, but you train your mind. Your discipline. And as you sculpt this discipline you begin to transform WITH your body. As you undergo this transformation, others will begin to notice. Some will be vocal about it, most will not. The end result will be the same. You will inspire others to action, and thus, through seeking to better yourself, you help better the world. My goal is to bring joy and fulfillment into the lives of others, and I believe that helping people develop the bodies of their dreams is the best way to facilitate that goal. My certifications include NASM, NASM WLS, NASM FNS, PTA global, and DotFit.
