Ever since Jr. High I have been lifting on and off for sports, recreation, or just to blow off steam. It wasn't until I discovered this website that I actually started taking lifting seriously. I recently completed my second competition and I am proud to say I've taken fitness from an on again, off again hobby to a lifestyle I can't get enough of!
What's not to love? Fitness has filled the gap that sports left behind. I love the feeling of having a great gym session, the pump, the endorphin rush, conquering goals, feeling like you've accomplished something every day, I love it all. Through my success, I've inspired many people around me to better themselves and tackle their own fitness goals. I love watching them change not just physically but mentally as well. I see their entire demeanor change as their confidence builds, and I can't help but smile because I know exactly what they are going through. Fitness is my hobby, my lifestyle, and I look forward to helping others experience the rush I get from bettering myself and mentoring others to do the same.
