"Wow! It’s almost hard to tell you in a short word why Tristan is an awesome personal trainer. I have always said that a picture can say a thousand words. I invite you to look at mine and hear my personal story. Though I have worked really hard and have come so far, my journey will never be over. The funny thing is that I’m excited it’s not. It is a lifestyle change that I work at everyday with new goals and outlooks regarding my health and fitness! I came to Tristan a year ago with no guidance, no real knowledge of healthy living, and the mindset that a health club membership was for the pool use only (never seeing the workout areas). After being told by my doctor that I was essentially killing my children by living the lifestyle I was living, I knew my life needed to change so I could model to my children good health. A life of fast food, eating out regularly, and being seditive caused me to gain weight and gain it fast. The weight gain was an issue, but even more so, by gaining the weight...I lost my inner self. I could no longer keep up. I had little to no drive. The very purpose I was put on this earth could not be fulfilled due to not having the drive, confidence or the ability to handle a normal day of my life. My mind was made up. I just didn’t know how to do it. While sitting pool side trying to make a huge life long decision to be a better me for my family, I figured I needed to walk into a gym. After consideration of many trainers, I felt Tristan was a perfect match for myself and anyone else looking for someone with a unique training ability that is impossible to become bored with. I have trained with him for a year now and have had great success and a lot of fun doing it. I lost a total of 67 lbs. and went from a size 18 to a size 8 under his encouragement and training. He educated, motivated, and supported me in all aspects of my weight loss process. He inspires people to change their lives by becoming more physically active and educates them on nutritional food choices to promote a healthy lifestyle. He is a family man that understands full family fitness! It was shocking to me how healthy living and being active changes your mood, self esteem and outgoingness. Said quite simply, it is life changing! I have talked to and have been a part of other people's lives he has changed and it’s always been a happy experience for all I have encountered. His God given talents have truly blessed my life and he is quite humble on the gift he has. I love training with Tristan because of his impressive knowledge, encouraging demeanor, his ability to challenge me without any discouragement. I have always felt his dedication, positive attitude, and the joy of his work reflected on his success. What started out as something I was doing for my family turned into something I now know needed to be done for myself as well. Thank you so much for all you have done in mylife and the lives of others!"
