MY STORY FROM WEIGHT AND HEALTH CHALLENGES TO FITNESS COACH.

Life's demands—work, family, stress—can often lead us astray from an active lifestyle. I was no exception. In my youth, I was deeply involved in basketball, martial arts, table tennis, and parkour (we didn't call it Parkour back then, though). However, like many, I eventually prioritized work and responsibilities, leading to a decline in my physical activity. Poor lifestyle choices caught up with me, resulting in being overweight, high blood pressure, and chronic low back pain. My energy was at an all-time low, and the thought of lifelong medication dependency was daunting.

During this challenging period, I had a stark realization: I could either continue on this unhealthy path or take control of my life. I chose change. I began my journey into health and fitness out of curiosity, fueled by recommendations from insightful voices on Twitter and a handful of books. Positive changes from a low-carb diet spurred my interest further. I sought structured knowledge, obtaining certifications as a Personal Trainer from the ISSA and a Nutrition Coach from Precision Nutrition.

With certifications in hand, I didn't stop learning. I absorbed every piece of knowledge to refine my approach and enhance my coaching skills. Practicing with friends and family, I tailored plans to their unique needs, learning that personalized approaches yield the best results.

Today, I am not just a survivor of poor lifestyle choices; I am a thriving coach, entrepreneur, husband, and dad. Though I am not as active as in my youth, I have regained a balance between my priorities, health, and responsibilities. I am ready to guide you through the highs and lows of your health transformation. Whether your goal is to improve general health or achieve specific athletic milestones, I am here to provide informed, empathetic support. Let’s embark on this journey together, creating a healthier, more vibrant life.
