Todd's Personal Fitness History
My interest in health and fitness began in 1992 when, at the age of 22, my doctor told me that I had borderline hypertension and that I was "looking a little fat". This was a pretty harsh sentence for somebody who had always been athletic and active.
I decided to take on working out with weights, learning about nutrition and performing regular cardiovascular exercise as a way of life. The energy and vigor that I gained from making this my lifestyle fueled my desire to help others gain the same results I was reaping. I quit my stressful job (at one of the largest insurance companies in the world) and returned to Boise State University. I received my Bachelor of Science degree in Health Promotion in 1997.
This education and experience has helped me to literally change the lives of hundreds of people since I began Personal Training in 1996. Personal Training and changing people's lives are my passions in life. Nothing is more rewarding than to have a client say to me, "Thank you for all you have done for me; you have truly changed my life!"
At OPT4FIT, we do not offer one standard plan, as we are all individuals with individual needs. Although bodybuilding is my primary hobby, I understand that it probably is not yours. My job is to design programs and provide sensible dietary suggestions that work best for each person we work with, regardless of age, size or gender.
