Born & raised in New York. I moved to California in 2015 when I was 25 years old. My fitness journey began as soon as I got to San Francisco! Growing up I was always skinny & never liked the way my body looked. I played American football in middle school & high school, but never took training serious during the off season. After high school I realized that I didn’t really changed much physically. That made me feel like I was still a kid (even though I clearly wasn’t lol). Most of my friends weren’t into going to the gym or taking anything serious in life at all. It was hard to stay consistent going to the gym when I was constantly surrounded by people who didn’t have similar goals & interest as I did. After 7 years of procrastination & inconsistency, I decided to move & completely change my environment. Two weeks after I moved to San Francisco, I purchased a gym membership at 24 Hour Fitness & began my fitness journey. Six months into my journey I was already pretty much unrecognizable! I put on 10lbs of muscle mass & definitely didn’t feel or look like a kid anymore lol. I was so happy with my results that it led me to get a front desk job at the gym. Being surround by personal trainers all day influenced me to take a certification & become a personal trainer. I was a personal trainer at Equinox for about 3 years. 7 years later, I’m an independent personal trainer who still enjoys coaching & training just as much as I did when I started my fitness journey 7 years ago!
