Born and raised in San Jose, CA. I am 22 years old with a huge passion for sports and fitness. Sports and fitness have always been an important part of my life. Fitness related hobbies I enjoy ; running, swimming, playing basketball and (of course) preforming burpees where ever and when ever!
I am currently studying towards my AA in Physical Education at Foothill College. Also, I coach Freshman basketball at Archbishop Mitty High School. Plans for the future are; teaching Physical Education at a local elementary school, continuing to coach basketball and being your Be Fit Bootcamp instructor.
My story into why I got into fitness started about 2 years ago. I was living in San Luis Obispo, CA attending Cuesta College(for Broadcast Communications). This is my first time out of the house and on my own. So obviously I took advantage of it. So pizza and beers it was….for a year. This was not new (the beer yes, pizza no) for me because I’ve always had a metabolism that could get me through any type of meal. But when you mix in NOT exercising, well, your not going to maintain that metabolism. A year later I found myself going from 160 pounds all the way up to 200 pounds. I kid you not, this was the most unhealthiest I have ever felt. After my year in SLO, I moved back. Unhappy and unaccomplished. I needed to find a way to get myself back into shape. I didn’t want to spend hours running on treadmill or outside, so when my former basketball coach introduced me to High Intensity Training I was HOOKED! I cut back on my eating, got my mind focused and right, hit the gym whenever I could. Whatever it took, I did it. In 4 months I was back down to 175. In 10 months I was 160. Now I’m in the best shape of my life.
So there you have it, my reason to getting into fitness is because I understand what it takes to go from unhealthy to healthy. From unhappy to happy. And I want to be able to help someone else experience those feelings as well. I look forward to getting to know and working out with each and every one of you!
