“Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going”
— Jim Ryan

I am 50 years of age. I received my degree in Kinesiology from the University of Houston. Growing up a "skinny and awkward" kid, I used weight training and nutrition to build the body I wanted. I have remained passionate about the health and fitness, and I strive to make it a part of everyday life for myself, my family and for my clients.

I am confident that my clients journey into the worlds of cardio strength and power training will be enlightening, effective, and character building. I believe that personal fitness journeys are not easy ones. They involve commitment and hard work. However, in the end, it is always worth every bit of sweat and effort.

My Fitness Journey
In this picture, I am 20 years old. I noticed my stomach was losing muscle tone. I weighed 170 lbs with 20% body fat and 130 lbs of lean muscle. I knew I needed to change my body and fitness.

Now, at 50, I am in the best shape of my life. I weigh 165 lbs, have 10% body fat, and 145 lbs of lean muscle. I adjusted my diet and workouts to achieve my desired body. The key to reaching fitness goals is specific strength training and healthy eating.
