I started weight training at the age of 15 and I did my first bodybuilding competing at the age of 16. Since then, I’ve competed in over 10 shows, winning first place multiple times and competing at the national level. I’ve also been published in 4 fitness magazines, 1 of them being Status magazine and 12 of them that were international. I’ve been working in the Fitness Industry for over 10 years and recently got voted 2nd best Personal Trainer in all of Montreal. I’ve worked with hundreds of local individuals in addition to those across the world, through my online coaching system. I’ve also had the opportunity to work with celebrities such as former NFL superstar Larry Johnson.

Your transformation story:
My life story is something that can help others in believing in themselves. It was only 5-6 years ago, I was working minimum wage as a gym secretary and janitor. I build my brand and clientele into something I thought would be impossible. To have overcome Covid and grow my business even more with my online training is my best personal accomplishment to date. I have doubled my clientele and now I train 25-30 clients a day with my 30-minute workouts. I have been very blessed throughout my journey and more great things are to come.
