REMNANT

Since M. J. was a kid he was always involved in sports - football, baseball, track, and primarily basketball. Although never a big fan of the weight room or healthy foods in high school, that all changed when he turned 26. M. J. was in a stressful relationship; one night he walked out after an argument to take a drive and clear his head. After 20 minutes he found himself at his YMCA where he often played basketball. With no shoes or shorts on hand, he hit the weight room. He tried the bench press first, putting 45lbs on each side. After all, he thought, isn't that the weight everyone else does? He laid on the bench, grabbed the bar, unracked it, and the weight immediately came crashing down on him. An older man came over to help and told M. J. not to go so fast; start with a weight he could handle. M. J. put 25lbs on each side and was able to do a few reps with a lot of effort.

After hanging around the weight room for an hour M. J. headed home. When he got home - despite the arguing, yelling, and tension from earlier in the night - he got his best night's sleep in months. He felt pushed to a limit that he never experienced before. The rest is history: he fell in love with lifting and training and is constantly furthering his knowledge in the exercise field. Now his main goal is to pass on that knowledge to anyone who wants to make a positive change in their life. Bodybuilding has taught him discipline, how to work hard, and how to stay committed. These aren't lessons that stay in the gym, they apply to all aspects of life. 

M. J.'s training style is not only to teach my clients how to kill it in the gym but to also take the same dedication, determination, patience and hard work and apply it to all aspects of life. If you want to work hard, be determined and get it. If you want to keep it, be patient and dedicated toward maintaining it.
