Welcome!

If you are ready to try P90X, Insanity or any other program, why not save money? I will share thirty years of my strength and fitness experience with you and help you understand and optimize your Beachbody programs and supplements. About me: I am a 41 year old, happily married man of 19 years who enjoys the great outdoors and being active. I also enjoy spending time with my little nieces and nephews and making a positive impact in their young lives. I am an Independent Beachbody Diamond Coach who has instructed and educated people in Northern Utah, and many more customers and clients across the U.S. and other countries become healthy and fit. My story: I was about 8 years old and skinny when I discovered Eugen Sandow and Charles Atlas. I was captivated by their level of strength and fitness. Soon after I discovered bodybuilders like Larry Scott, Lou Ferrigno and Arnold Schwarzenegger. After pouring over fitness magazines from the 70s and 80s, while in Jr. High and High School, learning everything there was to learn about strength training and nutrition, I began to work out. I enjoyed lifting at my high school stadium, which came equipped with an indoor gym. This is where I spent my summers, running up and down that stadium and weightlifting inside. Fast forward a few years. I was involved in a head on collision that could have taken my life, but left me with a completely torn left knee instead. My insurance had run out from paying hospital bills and I was unable to afford physical therapy for more than a couple days, so I decided to rehabilitate my knee by myself. My knee wouldn’t bend more than about five degrees without excruciating pain. Over the next five or six months, I gritted through a lot of pain to gradually increase the flexibility and mobility in my reconstructed ACL and MCL ligaments. About two years later, I was able to walk somewhat normally again. My leg, however, was a toothpick. After this, I knew it was time to get back into serious shape. With a lack of such large Texas style high school stadiums where I now live, I settled on a gym membership instead. This accident had set me back several years and rather than pursue my dream of competing and opening up my own gym, I pursued another business endeavor instead as a general contractor. I have a passion for building and this became my new hobby. I tried to stay in shape with a demanding schedule, but time had a way of creeping up on me and adding layers of fat on my lanky frame. I had very little time to exercise, much less eat properly. One night I saw the P90X infomercial on TV, and at least four times thereafter when I decided to give it a try. The rest, as they say, is history.

One night I was watching TV before bed and I saw an infomercial advertising P90X. Although I was not a stranger to well periodized fitness programs and being familiar with the training principle known as muscle confusion, I was still skeptical. The workouts, coupled with the transformation pictures of those who succeeded with the program compelled me to watch further. It wasn’t until about a week later when I had seen this commercial air several times and being convinced that it could work, I decided to order it and give it a try.
Despite a rigorous schedule in the construction field I was able to lose 10 lbs of fat and gain some lean muscle mass. By having participating in the Beachbody community forums, meeting like-minded people and receiving support and using Beachbody’s features such as WOWY, I was able to stay accountable to myself and my peers on the message boards.
Since then I have started many rounds, though I have fallen off the wagon a few times, due to personal demands and circumstances as an adoptive father coupled with my hectic schedule as a contractor. I was always able to renew my efforts of being in the best shape of my life. I enjoy the meal planner and being able to customize my meals and know exactly the amount of calories in every meal.
Today I am in the best shape of my life. All of the P90X workouts combined have given me the strength, flexibility and conditioning to function at peak levels. I am getting stronger every day and there’s no slowing down!
