About Me ( i love bambina ) I defers love bambina — but I defers gotta change this section up — make it like your home page, dope , hahaha have there be like a one liner right here — maybe it really should say I love bambina everywhere on your website forever?

Bod and Heart, with all it stands for, the care, the health, the balance, was born from its opposite: an obsession. For context, I now weigh about 40 pounds less than I used to, and most of that loss is in muscle. And I still train sometimes, but I’m not squatting 405 pounds for over 12 repetitions anymore. Between you and me, I’m not even squatting anymore. I never did steroids, but I was planning on it; once I’d reached my 10 years of natural bodybuilding. And I was close to reaching that point, until one day, out of nowhere, it hit me: well, I saw it in the mirror: I had taken it too far and I hadn’t known. (((we were thinking the home page could lead to your story, and also a more technical kind of like example, or features / description of the services

I abruptly stopped bodybuilding on that day, about six years ago. Stopping wasn’t easy, but in the end it led me to become the innovative and supportive coach I am today. In that time I continued on my endless journey of physical exertion and discovery, but I looked to healthy modalities and styles of training this time, and for the first time in my life I focused on recovering myself.((((change how you word that , for sure ))))(((((And in a way that did not overlook my most precious joints ( or my lower back, which, by the way, I know a lot about the hard way).)))))))(((too fast transition, if you take away the previous one))) I also can’t fail to take into account the hundreds of people I’ve now worked with in person, my NASM Personal Trainer Certification, and my degree in Philosophy when considering why I’m happy and confident to take you on board(((flip the order of that sentence)))—- I also overlook the role that I had in the jounrey and the way I. pproached it always trying things —- that goes first —-

((((two option buttons , no ,,,, service page —- but the next view or page is also geared to point us that way and it will mention it))))

(why you should train/// why I train people —-

I’m confident to

And in that time I learned what it means to take care of your knees, and your shoulders, and your lower back. And I think most importantly, I learned how effort, and even bodybuilding, could be performed without costing health.

to the limit within bounds that make it health

and this came in part from working with over hundreds of people in person,

and it became my new mission to heal it and to continue to push its boundaries, except this time in the name of health. At the core of my approach is the practice of mindfulness in movement, as well as the practice of reducing unwanted tension through the optimization of movement. Today, I work to provide an online service and platform aimed at transforming your fitness journey and providing you with unparalleled value. And I aim to do that in the most accessible way possible. 

Relevantly, I’m a NASM certified trainer with experience working with hundreds of in-person clients (perhaps less relevantly, I also have a degree in Philosophy). But it’s my story that made me a trainer.

read on option AND a take a look at services option ? —- yes? ((read on for a more tehchnical look or for a closer look at my philosophy and technique ((( yes saying both things makes sense/// read on for more tehcnical look ? how i say )))

Were always looking to do things in a new way: and that’s reflected in (what we do) but also how we do it: ad we have unique strategies in place to make out online interaction unique and productive 

we belive in minizing risk and maximizing reward. ((we believe in getting the most from the least and/or)) — that doesnt mean we dont belive in effort ()in) — on the contary — but we belive in working and applying this effort inside of a frameowrk that gurantees success, longevity((more like nimmle appy joints) and safety. ((take bodybuilding)) —- and THEN you can get more of that stuf you were syaing maybe more tehcnical 0)

Personal training begins with care, motivation, and a deep understanding of proper body mechanics; but it depends on the creation of effective, multifaceted, and highly personalized training plans and progressions. What I do when I work with people is integrate their goals, their unique profile, and the non-negotiables: mobility, flexibility, health of joints, of bones, of emotions, and of mind: that is, striving without compromising our integrity, and advancing without breaking down. ((( this is fine , but does it reflect and situate your new offering well?))) —- some diff !!!! first aboutt he type of thing wed be seeing there, and we were thinking , putting the power in their hands!!! im an educator and empoweror, and my job is to get you going on your own as soon as possible !!((dont say that and discredit the online community have it be suggested

I’m holistic and considerate in my approach and I serve people with a variety of goals in fitness; but make no mistake, I’m an expert bodybuilder and an expert bodybuilding coach. Whoever you are, we’re putting muscle on you, if that’s what you want. And my guarantee is that we can maximize muscle growth and yet minimize unwanted stress ( on the joints, for example ). And we do that by applying various techniques and by learning to create tension in our muscles without necessarily having to resort to risky things or to huge weight.

But here’s the thing: I’m not just there to tell you what to do. My goal, ultimately, is to empower you; and that goes beyond your physical results and our process, which I guarantee will be nothing less of exceptional: my goal is, in the end, to make you an autonomous, knowing, and confident agent when you step into the gym ( or wherever you are ): and who am I kidding: my goal is to make you a stronger and more positive person when you step into the world.

And I can’t overstate the role role of education in all of this: I’ve been deeply invested in bodybuilding and fitness for the vast majority of my life — it’s what I know. And it’s what I love. And it’s my job to pass down both understanding and enthusiasm to you. And as you can see in the description of my service ( it’s an online service ), it’s really what you’re signing up for: a change in body and a change in perspective. We want more aware and more loving eyes.

Which brings us to the core of Bod and Heart: if you want somebody to excel at something, you have to make sure they love it. And if they’re gonna love it, they have to have fun with it. So I make a big effort to stir and to take care of that spark for people. And it starts with creating a safe and positive atmosphere, eliminating stressful expectations, stressful practices ( like an over reliance on numbers, or an over reliance on worrying ), and prioritizing presence, mindfulness and having fun with the process above everything else. And this is also true of many forms of training ( not all ) : the key here is moving mindfully. And happily!
