Intro to the 12 Weeks to Beach Bod Program
Hello and welcome to the 12 Weeks to Beach Bod Program! This is the first step into better health and image. But before we begin the journey I would like to let you know a little more about me!
My name is Randy and I’ve been a gym coach since the summer of 2018. I got into fitness and learning more about it since 2011, thus making it almost a decade of fitness experience. I was born and raised in Long Beach, California with lots of sunshine, fancy cars and bad traffic. The summer of 2018 was very eventful for me. I had acquired two personal training certifications. One certification I got through Fitness Mentors and another through NFPT.
Before all this, I was working a dead end job and every day I would just toss my work clothes into the laundry bin and throw on some gym gear to go hit the weights hard. I loved fitness and it’s been apart of me since high school. Growing up I was constantly teased about my weight from friends and family which eventually caused me to get upset enough to go to the gym and prove them all wrong. I did not have it easy in my childhood as we grew up super poor and I was absolutely awful academically which lead to me having self-esteem issues about my potential in life. I one day wanted to become a personal trainer, own my own gym and possibly my own high-quality supplement line but I was talked out of doing so since it wasn't a "real job" according to family so I was misled into believing that working for money at a "real job" and a passion for fitness were two different things.
My parents bought cheap junk food for my siblings and I because we couldn’t afford much of anything. My dad worked all day long so I didn’t see him much because he would come home early in the AM after a long day at work and my mom was an at home mom who constantly stressed about bills and was very scared of the next bill because they were getting bigger and bigger. This idea of "life is filled with financial instability, scarcity and fighting for survival" is what they believed and caused me to think this way as a child. As an adult, I knew it quickly donned on me that I needed to be the one to pull my own family out of poverty by being super successful while proving that passions can be careers!
I didn’t want to work a crappy job as an adult and I always debated on whether I should become a personal trainer or not but I was constantly talked out of doing it by my own family and friends. Friends would tell me I should lose a few pounds before doing so, yet I knew how to work out better than like 99.99 percent of them... it’s just that I liked food too much. My own family pretty much told me the same thing but they added that I should not quit my horrible job because I need a paycheck, I needed the job because they just believed personal training as a career was absolutely ridiculous and I need to pay the bills with a "real job".
So I listened to them.. and I absolutely did not feel passionate nor fulfilled about what I did at my day job. I absolutely hated getting up early in the morning just to go to work to swept up a parking lot or to push carts that customers left behind. I was just absolutely miserable and I truly needed fulfillment in my life. I did go to college but I didn’t know what I wanted to do there. I was literally going there because my parents told me to and they wanted to be proud of me if I graduated with some kind of degree they felt was honorable like medicine and nursing. Every passing day I felt like a puppet being manipulated into strange and undesirable positions in my life just to have a "real job". I worked various dead end minimum wage jobs that were extremely repetitive and monotonous and I cried out for escape but no one showed me how to get out.
I was absolutely shocked to hear from people around me that this is normal and that the precious paycheck was what matters and I just needed to shut up and accept that it is the nature of life. To work hard for a paycheck for 40 something years since your degree didn’t lead you to any opportunity career wise and when you maybe retire you’ll get to finally catch a break and live the next like 15-25 years to the fullest and then flop over and die. That was absolutely terrifying for me to accept and I rejected it and I needed to do what it takes to prevent myself to ever having to make that my reality.
I to this day, will never allow myself to do unfulfilling and undesirable tasks for money. I will do what it takes to fulfill my life by helping others change their lives and aid their commitment to better health.
So one day, I just paid for a course in becoming a personal trainer and passed. My friends and family just freaked out that I invested in a ridiculous career choice in their eyes. They thought that I was going to waste my time in a silly career that doesn't pay well. They come up with ridiculous stories that trainers struggle to get by and that I need to go back to school to get a "real job". I began to resent them when I was finally super happy being a personal trainer. Working a job as a trainer sucked though, since it was paying minimum wage like many other jobs and I got fired a couple months in because I did't like being told what to do and "in-subordinated".
I quickly believed that I was an entrepreneur who needed to do their own thing, run their own business, amass great wealth and bring massive value to the people through the art of fitness. That was my destiny. My destiny was to become the first billionaire personal trainer by giving the BEST workout programs the world has never seen. I give, give, give and give more than I receive and I hope you find this workout program to be the last one you searched up online and allow this program to take your life to the next level.
So let's begin already. Start today.
