Why did I become a Fitness Trainer?
Back in 2015, I had a gnarly motorcycle crash at high speeds. Who knew that moment would have changed my life.
I remember being in the hospital when the left hand decided to swell up like the Hamburger helper hand on the box.
It was insane to look at but somewhat interesting to see what the body can do.
But the next few months were really tough on me mentally and physically.
Just a simple walk from the bedroom to the bathroom used to take 10 seconds but now it's 10-15 minutes.
This was coming from always being in shape from the military to where now I couldn’t even open up a blue Gatorade bottle by myself.
I got really pi** off when the doctor told me to do the Itsy Bitsy Spider up the wall and I may never use my left hand again or lift over 50lbs with again.
The Devil Dog inside of me could not accept that answer.
So, I found a way to educate myself about the human body and end falling in love with how special our bodies are, especially the mind.
I went to school for myself but then realized how many other people out there might be in the same shoes.
There were definitely a lot of dark times and mental battles to rebuild a new version of myself. Especially going from 165 lbs of muscle to 125 lbs in weight.
But I stayed focused for about a year learning to move the hand again and still finishing motorcycle school.
It took some time but I was able to transform my body in that time and not taking no for an answer!
This is why I became a Fitness Trainer 9 years ago.
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE helping people transform their lives through fitness, if you can relate to any of this story drop your favorite emoji below!!
