Stop blaming your genetics and start taking responsibility! The sooner you take your health into your hands, the better your longevity!

Thank you. 🙏

If we currently train together or have trained with me in the past, if you shared any of my posts, or talked about me to your friends, I just want to say thank you.

This year alone I had to shut down 4 times which equated up to 9 weeks no work. When the government shutdown indoor fitness, I woke up earlier and moved all the gym equipment to the parking lot and trained everyone outdoors. This year was frustrating, scary, and unpredictable.

But it was all worth it.

Because it was your continued trust in me that allowed me to keep going. It was your excitement to train that fired me up. It was the unexpected text messages you’d send telling me you achieved something that you couldn’t do prior to training with me.

I just want you to know, all those little things mean the world to me.

So for that, thank you. Let’s continue to get strong for 2022 💪🔥

Ever heard that cheesy phrase, “do something future you will thank you for”?

here’s a story.

The first time I stepped into a weight room, I was 13 years old. The gym was a small community center 15-20min away from my house.

It was me and 2 of my best friends growing up. We picked up every weight, tried every machine and slammed every ball (we never did squats because we thought that’d stunt our growth 😂)

We had no structure, no program, no idea what sets and reps were, and almost every workout had to have bicep curls.

I enjoyed it.

one day I decided to go to the gym on my own because my two friends were out on vacation with their families. It was the first time going to the gym by myself. I was extremely nervous and I’ll never forget it. Here’s why

That day some meathead approached me.

He wore black adidas sweatpants and a tight white sleeveless undershirt. I’d wear an undershirt too but my XS sized shirt was baggy on me 😂

He tapped me on the shoulder while I sat on the lat pull down machine and angrily said, “you and your friends need to stop coming here. This place is only for adults. You kids don’t know what you’re doing.” 😡

Little 13 year old me was never one to stand up for myself or talk back to anyone.

But that day I said, “well I can’t skip chest day tomorrow. So I’ll be here same place, same time.

He shook his head and left. Never saw him since.

I think about that and If I actually listened to that man, I’d never be where I am now. My “fitness journey” would’ve ended there.

But I didn’t. And now:

✅ I’m helping people take that first step into the gym space like nervous me once did alone

✅ I help people understand how to train with the best quality information backed up through anecdotes and science when I had no clue how to train.

✅ I provide an environment where training is fun, engaging, and you belong in that space when I had a bully try to boot me out of the gym.

So whenever I see someone who is clearly a beginner in the weight room, I smile a bit. because I was once in their shoes. I know they’ve got a long journey ahead of them

So thank you 13 year old Melvin. You’ve done well 😊💪

^How I feel after helping someone.

Give it a try 😉
