I started lifting weights at 12 years old, but started training at 17. The difference between lifting weights and training is you train for a purpose - you have goals and you work to achieve them. A top-tier trainer named Gary took me under his wing and taught me the basics when I was a teen, now as an adult I do the same for anyone looking to train, not just lift weights.

Training is liberating. It's MY time. I spend all day helping others, but when I train I do it to help myself. And in turn, it helps those around me. I stay fit for my family, so I can be a strong, confident husband and father. When I train I want people to be inspired to do great things themselves.
