I’ve always been a physically active person. I’ve trained in karate, tae-kown-do, kick boxing and capoeira for many years. I was also in the U.S. Marine Corps for a couple of years. But I found my passion when I decided to change my physical appearance. Iron and steel became my best friends. There is just a feeling that I get after a hard workout that I cannot get enough of. Working out makes me feel good, look good and most important, peaceful. Becoming a member of City Gym Boys is a dream come true. I get to help people with their fitness struggles and I’m part of a team that is also helping me to be a better person. My advice to anyone who is struggling to change their body, believe in yourself, train hard, be patient and peace will be yours.
