What fuels your passion for health and fitness?

I am becoming a personal trainer as we speak! I grew up facing domestic abuse/ violence at home / bullying at school; when I workout I imagine my child. I truly believe that life is what you make it; it doesn’t matter what your beginning looks like; even if trauma happens to you; it’s you who gets to choose how it affects you. I allow my past to be the energy in which I alchemize to create my future with. Energy can never be destroyed; only transformed.

What’s your favorite way to train or stay fit?

I love to powerlift and incline jog-run at 20-30%. I have been studying on genetics and epigenetics and learning how to shape my workouts to match the style of my ancestors natural habitat to reap better results etc. I am really proud to have maintained my strength from 300 pounds; as I weigh in at 150-155 and can still rep out 285 deadlifts with ease, & bench a plate 💪🏾

What would you do with $20,000?

I would invest it to help my personal training career and show others how they can transform transmute the negatives in their lives into positives through fitness.. through giving back to yourself; you are your own foundation. When you’re solid; the rest of your life is. By becoming your own alchemist; you can apply the same thing in every aspect of your life. I would also pay off debts and support my family. This would really help set myself up in the right direction.
