So , I walked into the HQ Fitness in Austin back in 1993 at 19 years of age and told the head trainer I was licensed fitness professional. I mean of course I was a fitness professional. A lifetime of athletics had given me that right,.. right?. - This guy had a lot to learn. Lucky for me the internet was not what it was today and the verification process was a bit antiquated. So the guy asks me to come back the next day to give me a test. After a full night of a typical study cram session, I WAS A TRAINER. SUCKAZZZ! Well 26 years later, a father and grandfather, myself and the game has changed a lot with the availability of information through technology and my background in analytics has created a scientist of optimal performance, weight and cross-training. I obsessed about training so much I started to put paper to pencil creating my own methodology to training called GESS wrx. However, when I put the science aside the true love I have for training stems from the journey of each person. Really listening to people responses between the responses by asking the right questions trying to find the root of the thing they are really after and why they are sitting in front of me that day. Understanding this is a huge step of vulnerability for them and an equally huge responsibility for me to take care of each person in that state. You will often here me say, "I can take your money but why are you here". I typically get the, I would like to lose weight and gain muscle response. I will then ask them, "now can you write down that target for me". Needless to say the target usually consist of eat less and do more which is the receipt for so many mistakes, fatigue injuries and broken dreams. The moral of my approach is this... If you do not have a calculated target, you are 100% guaranteed to hit exactly that... NOTHING!
