Connect What fuels your passion for health and fitness?

Going to the gym wasn’t always something I enjoyed.. 10+ years ago, I started to go to the gym because I was overweight and depressed. I just wanted to feel better about myself. Fast forward to today I am grateful that with the knowledge, consistency and discipline it has become a lifestyle. A part of who I am. I do it for the little boy in me, for God who has blessed me with this one life and for the people I love, especially my parents who are now in heaven with Jesus. “Never settle”

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

I love experimenting at the gym. The first couple years was powerlifting. Strength focused on the big three lifts. Squats, deadlift and bench press. I now love bodybuilding, an amateur training for aesthetics and building my dream physique. I competed in Saskatchewan and won overall champ, best poser and people’s choice award. Right now I am enjoying the Arnold split at the gym and incorporating more endurance training with some running. I ran my first half marathon last year and more to come.

What would you do with $20,000?

I would be grateful to use it to invest in my career growth as a new realtor, save towards future goals such as a dream home and continue to give back to the community.
