So, how did I end up on Beachbody as a fitness coach? Well, about the time I had turned 29 I had realized that I was killing myself. I went from being a cross country and track runner to just a partier. I gave up my health for booze, drugs and a horrible diet. Of course, I started going through the denial phase. I had convinced myself that the person I saw in the mirror wasn’t as bad as he looked.

I went from being a cross country and track runner to just a partier. I gave up my health for booze, drugs and a horrible diet. Of course, I started going through the denial phase. I had convinced myself that the person I saw in the mirror wasn’t as bad as he looked. Eventually, I broke down. I knew that I had let myself go. Knowing that I did so much harm to myself it made me sink into a depressive state. I felt like a let down. I was letting down my wife, kids, friends and my business. Even though I knew I was unhealthy and living a horrible lifestyle I continued with it. It was like feeding the guilt and depression. Making everything go away on a temporary basis. I knew I had to fix it, but I didn’t know how or where, etc.
Then one night, sitting on the couch, drinking and eating away, I saw the P90X commercial. As soon as I saw it, I knew that’s what I wanted. This could help me. I used to love working out and doing it at home, so this could be a chance. The next day I ordered it and as soon as it showed up, my wife and I dove into it. P90X kicked our butt, but I feel like it saved us. We gave up our bad habits. We soul searched. We kept going at it and the results came. Our new life was now here. I was alive and felt great because I felt like I was an all around better person. I was a better husband and father.
I love my lifestyle now. I feel so alive and now I use P90X, Insanity and other Beachbody programs to help achieve my goals: to be around long enough to see my kids grow up, have energy when my grand kids come into my life, ect. I have a huge list of things I want to accomplish in life and one that means the most to me is helping others. There is no reason for people to suffer and if I can help in any way, I’d be glad to. That’s why I’m a Beachbody coach and that’s how Beachbody came into my life.
