San Antonio Personal Training

4/10/09

I think that if you asked most personal trainers why they got into this field, they would tell you that it is because they wanted to help people.

I am no different.  When I started as a personal trainer in college, I knew that I would be able to make some money and help people at the same time and to me, that seemed like a great combination.

What I didn't realize when I started was just how much I would live and die with each of my clients successes and setbacks.  Helping people get in shape has turned into my personal goal.

Yesterday was an amazing day for me because I had 2 clients that reached milestones in their training.

Caroline has been one of my favorite clients here at MPT because she has dedicated herself to getting in shape.  She is willing to put in the hard work to get in shape.  Today, Caroline reached one of her biggest goals by losing 30lbs since November 24th.

I could not be more proud of Caroline as her hard work has put her in a position to achieve great results like this.

The other person I want to talk about is Carl.  Carl has been with me for nearly a year and a half.  When he started here at MPT his goal was to lose the remaining body fat he had and to add a little bit of muscle so he joined our fitness boot camp.  Well, after a year in boot camp Carl had reached the low single digits as far as his body fat % and his muscles were clearly visible. 

He decided that he needed to put some weight back on however, because he was just getting TOO SKINNY!  So, Carl signed up for personal training.  We have been working to increase his muscle mass while keeping his body fat % low. 

I am happy to say that Carl still has a very low percentage of body fat and since he moved over to personal training, Carl has increased his body weight from 155lbs to 170lbs over the course of 4 months. 

Additionally, Carl has increased his overall strength tremendously.  At 50+ years old Carl is working out with 140lbs on the bench press and is squating 150lbs+.  These are great numbers for anyone, but particularly for someone who started out having trouble bench pressing 85lbs and squating 95lbs.

Congratulations to these two friends.  They have worked hard to get their results and they deserve the pride that will come with their improved physique.

Make it a great day San Antonio!
