Rob spent his early years as many young americans do, enjoying food and watching tv. Eventually, combining this unhealthy lifestyle with long periods of inactivity led to some health issues, including high blood pressure and high cholesterol. After coming to the conclusion, he could not continue down this road, he decided to make a change and get healthy. He discovered TFW Norcal and started to work with Coach Ariel to start living a better life. Over the last few years, his dedication in the gym and the control to limit the foods he intakes has led him to lose 25 pounds of fat while gaining some lean muscle. During this process, he realized more and more how much he loved the Training For Warriors approach to fitness and health that this love pushed him to becoming a TFW Level 1 Certified trainer.
Rob's journey is not yet complete as he is continuing to strive to lose fat and gain strength all while wanting to help others get healthy and enjoy being active. He has an ability to motivate and encourage others to not only push through and finish their workouts, but to have fun while they do it. Rob believes that the best way to keep someone motivated and to keep working out, is to make sure they have fun while doing it.
