New Castle

First off let me start by saying that being a personal trainer is by far the most rewarding and exciting job I’ve done. My career as a personal trainer started in 2004. My first experience was bittersweet, I really enjoyed helping my clients reach their goals but the company I worked for at the time didn’t share my enthusiasm, their focus was completely on money and new contracts. After working for a few similar gyms it is a complete breath of fresh air to be a part of Anytime Fitness. Here at Anytime Fitness I see examples daily of a company that truly cares about their members and wants to see them reach their goals. I feel completely at home and I can say for once that I truly love waking up and going to work.

It all began after high school, when sports took a backseat. I weighed a whopping 210 pounds when I graduated in 2002. Over the next 18 years, I hit a peak of 365 pounds, which was the heaviest I’ve ever been. But then, I started my journey with Anytime Fitness, and I’ve been on a rollercoaster of ups and downs. I’ve lost weight, gained weight, and even had an emergency appendectomy. But I’m determined to get back on track and reach my goal of 220 pounds. I’ve already lost 50 pounds, and I’m pushing myself to be better every day, no matter what setbacks I encounter. My goal is to be down 70 pounds by January 2026. Let’s see if I can do it!

Been with Anytime Fitness since 2007. Love motivating others to prioritize fitness and live a full life.
