But finally, with the help of a couple of great trainers, he realized he could use what he has learned about fitness, combined with his passion for it, to truly help others reach their goals.

He was determined to improve his technique, PR a certain lift, or get a faster time on a specific workout. Soon, he found that other members started looking up to him. “It was very rewarding to see others make improvements based on something I had suggested.” Ultimately, this lead him to think, “Hey! Maybe I can do that whole coaching thing and help others further their fitness goals!” With encouragement from his friends, coaches, and awesome wife, he decided to take that leap and begin the journey to become a coach.
