Out of high school I started working at some of the different corporate gyms, finally working my way up to personal trainer.  But at 19-20 years old, I wasn’t mature enough to be a trainer.  I loved the working out aspect, but wasn’t ready to handle everything it truly tkes to be a good trainer.  After a few years I left the training world and managed a warehouse. I was making good money doing that, but at the end of the day I was feeling very unfulfilled.  During that time I was rehabilitating a rotator cuff tear suffered from weightlifting and MMA fighting.  Getting treatment for chronic pain was pricelss and it was during that time I decided I wanted to become a Physical Therapy assistant.  I went back to school and started the PTA program.  During that time I picked training back up because it allowed me to make my own schedule around school. After years of school and personal training, my training started to take off and was making more than the median income of a PTA.  I found personal training very reward, being able to help those with chronic pain, injuries and achieving weight loss goals.
