Hello, my name is Isaac. Born and raised in Alaska, I was a Decathlete in track and field at Kansas State University, and then I moved to Texas in 2007. I became a personal trainer initially to transition from being a student, to trying to find my career passion. Shortly after I became a trainer, I realized this is what I’m passionate about. Helping people reach weight loss and strength goals was as satisfying to me as it was to my clients. But there was one problem: I constantly had clients who would stop their personal training sessions and return a year or two later wanting to lose as much (or more) weight because they had gained it back during their time away from training. Something had to change: I didn’t want to just help them lose weight in the short term. I learned to teach clients how to lose weight and then maintain their weight or continue to lose it on their own.
Continuing education, not only in nutrition, but in all aspects of health, has increased my passion to help my personal training clients. There are so many different ways to reach an individual’s fitness goal, and I want to help people understand why they are doing what they are doing. Some things work for one person but not for another, and finding what works best for each person is what continues to drive my passion as a personal trainer.
