My favorite client story
Seeing the growth and personality development in my clients is always a real blessing. I once had client who had a very monotone personality and very onenote in the kindest way because he was very inside his shell. Over the course of 1 year he lost over 40 pounds in body fat, he waa more proactive in hearing other ways to express himself and open up to other people.
My favorite exercise
My favorite exercise has to be anything with glute work, and chest work so so Bench chest press and resistance bands clock lunges.

Trainer like an athlete, eat like a nutritionist, sleep like a baby, win like a champion.
