why i created resurrect fitness

I had been immersed in the gym since I was teenager. It was a central focus of my life. I trained consistently, took pride in my physique, and felt confident in who I was.

As life progressed, that part of me gradually fell by the wayside. A demanding job, a long commute, a home, a wife and kids, social pressures, and the responsibilities of everyday life slowly pushed my health and fitness further down the list. It gradually robbed me of my drive and initiative.

I began to look, feel and function differently. It got to the point where I would look in the mirror and not recognize the person looking back. I woke up one morning and realized that I was in my mid-30’s, and somewhere along the way I had lost myself.

What affected me most was thinking about my kids. I didn’t want them to grow up knowing only the worn-down version of me I had become. I wanted them to know the driven, confident man I knew was still there.

So I made a decision to change. But it was more than just a simple change. I needed to bring the old me back…to resurrect myself…for myself and the people I loved.

I began rebuilding myself from the ground up - not just physically, but mentally as well. I rediscovered the discipline and purpose I had lost and committed myself to becoming stronger and better than I had ever been before.

That decision ultimately took me further than I ever could have imagined. I became a competitive natural bodybuilder, earned professional status, won major professional shows and titles, competed internationally, and had the opportunity to represent my country on several occasions.

But the greatest accomplishment wasn’t a trophy or a title.

I got myself back.

That experience eventually led me to change careers, become a personal trainer, and help others improve their health, fitness, confidence and quality of life. And it became the foundation for Resurrect Fitness.

I know what it’s like to let life get in the way. I know what it’s like to look at yourself and realize that you’ve drifted away from the person you want to be. And I also know that it doesn’t have to be that way, and that person doesn’t have to be gone.

That’s what Resurrect Fitness represents.

Reclaim your strength. Rebuild your confidence. Resurrect the strongest version of yourself.
