I was a very active kid growing up. I participated in many sports and physical activities including: basketball, football, gymnastics and track & field. But by age fourteen I was becoming a man so I wanted to focus more on my physique. So, I started working out at home with whatever I could find in the house; books, can goods, telephone wire, etc. It actually worked and my body was starting to take form. By age eighteen I was ready to join a real gym and take my body to the next level. I was pretty happy with my results after a few years of training consistently but reality would bite one day while I was brousing on MySpace. Yes, I came across the City Gym Boys page and I realized at that moment that I was not doing something right because they all had the abs and physique I never had. I contacted Charles LaSalle immediately for personal training, even though I could hardly afford it but I was determined to change my physique. It was the best investment because Charles taught me the magical formula of intense resistance training and cardio that would allow me to gain muscles and burn enough fat so I finally I could see my six pack, a life changing moment. Its been a long hard journey but I acquired the physique I've always wanted and Charles asked me to become a City Gym Boy. It goes to show that if you really want something bad enough you can get it and so much more, if you're willing to give your blood, sweat and tears for it.
