In a desire to drop some bulk, define my muscle tone, and once again change my body shape, I began increasing my cardio vascular exercise. I started jogging and spinning and gradually built up enough endurance to run the City of Los Angeles Marathon. That’s 26.2 miles and I was in good enough condition to decide on Friday to run the race that Sunday. I finished with a time of 4 hr 10 minutes, now weigh 160 lbs, and maintain 10% body fat.

Along the way, I have trained with numerous well-educated personal trainers and friends as I have learned many different training techniques in order to meet a variety of different body and fitness goals. I have made a lifelong commitment to live an active life of health and fitness and to make a living training others by sharing all that I have learned. I have had the privilege of assisting people in meeting their fitness goals, improving their health, and achieving their ideal body shape for over 15 years now and I will continue for the rest of my life. Physical fitness and training has long since become part my lifestyle and who I am. I am now here to help you achieve ALL of your Fitness Goals and share the fitness expertise that I have developed thru these many the years.

That is definitely not what I saw that morning in July when I looked in the mirror. Thousands of burgers, fries, and shakes later, I saw only a remnant of that proud Marine I was many years before. I was getting ready to turn 40 and definitely looking it. Then something happened, for just a split second I believed I could be that again. That's all it took.

I spent my 20's in the health club business and even though I was around fitness all the time I lived on a 50lb roller coaster. I was either in great shape, waiting for the day I couldn't maintain my grueling 3-hour workouts, or I was on the gaining cycle where my clothes gradually became tighter and tighter, leaving whatever designer I was currently wearing embedded in my waistband. My daily mantra was: " Today is the day I'll start exercising and eating right." No matter where I was, I was in a world of shame.

On July 5th 2005 I put down the fork. I made a promise to give myself “six pack abs” for my 40th birthday. I took 20+ years of experience in the fitness industry and went to work. I promised myself three things; no compulsive training, no starvation, and I would not quit. Over 6 months, I lost 50 lbs and another 8 lbs in the following 2 months. At no time during that period did I spend more than 90 minutes day training. I averaged between 45 minutes to an hour 5 days a week. I never skipped a meal, after the first 30 days never felt hungry. It has completely changed my life. I will never tell anyone there is a quick fix, because there isn't. I spent the better part of 20 years relying solely on my sense of humor and quick wit to meet people. And more importantly not let you see how miserable and ashamed I was underneath. I didn't go on a diet, or start a workout program. I adopted a new lifestyle and worked it from the inside out. Today I enjoy my life, have plenty of energy and best of all I get the opportunity to share my experience with others. I get to take my new lifestyle and use it to support myself. What a gift. If you are willing to give yourself the gift of just an hour a day and change the way you eat you can TRANSFORM your life. Believe me it's worth it!!! If you have experienced similar challenges and want similar results, then let us show you how.

P.S. I turned 40 May 23rd 2006 and that six-pack I promised myself turned 40 with me.

A few years ago while training at a gym back east I met some women who were training for a figure competition. With some coaxing, they convinced me to compete. I hired a trainer who gave me both exercise and diet plans and I stuck to it! His daily guidance and support kept me motivated and before I knew it I was achieving real results. I saw new definition in my shoulders, triceps and biceps along with slimming of my inner and outer thighs. I couldn’t believe that the simple weight training and diet modifications were the missing link for me in attaining the body I always wanted! I competed in several natural figure competitions and consistently placed in the top 4. With hard work and dedication came real results that can last a lifetime.

I believe that fitness is a long-term commitment to oneself that provides self-esteem, happiness, and overall wellness. You can’t get these things from a quick fix diet or the next best piece of fad exercise equipment. At Blue Clay Fitness, we are very aware of the fact that everyone has different health & fitness goals. I am committed to helping you set individual goals and then utilizing proven training techniques to assist you in achieving those goals. I know YOU CAN whether you believe it or not!
