Settling for First Best

I didn't plan to be a health & fitness professional. 

I graduated from the University of Florida with a BS in Journalism and hopes of a sports journalism career, but the market crashed and took newspapers with it. Convinced reporting was the only way to utilize my degree, I miserably waited tables and freelanced while searching for a spot as a full-time reporter, all the while missing out on what I enjoyed most in life: lifting weights & playing sports.

A friend suggested I try personal training. I had always been the go-to resource for friends looking to improve their health, fitness and performance, and I truly enjoyed helping others reach goals they never thought possible. I figured the added knowledge would suit me in my own training, making it a worthwhile investment, but I didn't see how personal training would help me reach my own long-term goals of sports journalism and publishing fame.

It didn't take long for me to realize the health & fitness profession offered so much more than a way to pass the time. I quickly fell in love with a career that enabled me to change lives, including  my own, in a way I never thought possible. I'm blessed with the daily opportunity to inspire others, overcome new challenges and expand my knowledge in a position that is more than just an occupation. 

And that whole sports journalism thing? Well, my career change landed me opportunities to interview Olympic athletes, a Super Bowl Champion, professional ball players and athletes who have conquered what was once thought impossible. 

Life didn't take the direction I expected, but I've never had to settle, despite "missed" opportunities  
and neither do you.

Perhaps your fitness journey is such that you're beating the same path you always have, determined there's only one road that will yield the health, fitness and body you desire. Disappointed, you trudge along with your head down, following the same circle that starts with good intentions and ends in another failed attempt. You start to think you'll never make it; maybe you've given up altogether. Now, it's time to make a change; time to try a different path: one that actually leads to success. I've helped many reach their goals, and I can help you, too.

You don't have to settle. Invest in a new you. Decide to take back your life today.
