What Do You Like Most About Being a Personal Trainer: I like being able
to help people surpass their physical, mental, and spiritual dreams by helping them grow
wholly versusvphysically. My true passion is training for bodybuilding championships,
but when I get calls from customers thanking me for helping them change their life
and start a new lifestyle it means the world to me. I also became a Stephen’s Minister
through church allowing me to listen to people and help them formulate answers to their
own life problems. You’d be amazed the type of things that people feel comfortable telling
you after you build such a strong relationship with them through personal training.
