I have been involved with the gym/fitness since high school. Once I started college, being away from home and not having a consistent schedule set me back causing me to gain some weight and not have the best relationship with my body. I moved back home and seeing both of my parents involved with the gym made me motivated to take training more seriously. My mom was already training with Omar. Having seen my mom’s transformation and her dedication to the gym after starting personal training made me motivated to start as well.
Some obstacles I have faced since starting training was being accountable outside of my training days. At the beginning it was easy making excuses for myself because I wasn’t comfortable with working out alone. Showing up on days that I was really tired has been the biggest obstacle and still is to this day. What has kept me motivated to continue was my Dad. My father has been training with LFA and with Coach Dre for some time now. Seeing him show up for himself for runs and early morning workouts has proven to me that I could do it to. He pushes me on days that I feel like I can’t and motivates me to be the best version of myself every day.
If I could offer one piece of advice it would be that no matter what this journey is for you and you only. It’s okay to start over, because I did. It’s okay to make small goals. But, turn those goals into something bigger as your journey progresses and you feel more confident. It’s a lifetime of commitment but it’s so rewarding when you...
Read moreI've been training with Jeff for about a year and a half, and I can't emphasize enough how exceptional my fitness journey has been. His guidance and the LiveFitArmy community create an environment where successes are celebrated together.
Jeff's in-depth knowledge and genuine passion for helping clients were evident from day one.

Jeff's enthusiasm and positive energy are contagious, making each session enjoyable. He provides constant support, encouragement, and motivation, which plays a pivotal role in keeping me focused and committed to my goals. Jeff's ability to push me just the right amount while still being mindful of my individual capabilities is a testament to his skill as a trainer.

Read moreWhen I met Dree two things were evident: his love for his wife, children and his commitment to helping the people in his community achieve their highest potential through health and fitness. On my first day of our 1:1 I felt like I was going to throw-up and I probably did LOL. At times my mind would get in the way and so I had doubts. But Dree did not allow me to go down that rabbit whole, instead he would pull me right out by making me do that extra set I didn’t think I could do. Dree did not allow me to give up. He assured me that with time I would get better and sure enough I did. As the weeks have progressed, I have noticed my ability to keep going with less breaks. What stands out from Dree and the LFA team from other trainers is their integrity, humble attitude, and again commitment to help those who want to improve their health and therefore improve their quality of life.
The LFA team makes me feel part of a community/family that supports me but most importantly, pushes me to do things I didn’t feel like I was physically capable of doing. Though many see the physical changes that are happening, there is also a mental shift happening. Less moments of “I can’t” and more “Fuk! Yes I can!!” And THAT is everything.
If you are looking for an amazing group of trainers, look no...
