Fit Form Training is Christopher Toews, who at the young age of 14 decided to make a positive difference in his life with health and wellness… the fitness and exercise came later at 17 and he has, well I have, never looked back!
I was a heavier set kid and aesthetically never happy with how I looked… but I felt great and was active. A hockey player and sponsored snowboarder who was always packing a few extra pounds and couldn’t really understand why. This level of disgust with my body gave me the motivation to change my way of eating at 14. I cut the carbs and starchy sugar loaded foods and learned how to fuel my body in a way that allowed me to not only lose the weight but to APPRECIATE myself!
When I now hear of an adult, a grown person with a career that they worked hard for saying that it’s hard to lose weight and that they can’t… I do not take this lightly! If a 14 year old kid can make a conscious decision to eat a salad with a light vinaigrette dressing at school with 2 ounces of grilled chicken breast in the school cafeteria while the other kids are eating wagon wheels and drinking cans of 7 UP, why can’t you as an adult do what’s right for your body and eat right for your body!!!
At the age of 17 I decided to start weight training, why… honestly just wanted to look good to get girls (I was 17 hahah) but then fell in love with the satisfaction I got from how I felt after the workout but even more satisfied and stoked on the help that I received from complete strangers to me in the gym that wanted to help me push to be better! I would walk up to the biggest and most fit people in the gym and would ask if what they were there doing made them look the way that they were, which was fit and strong. Well, they not only said “Yes” but assisted me in doing it correctly and right which I took to heart. This respect for my own personal development and growth has now given me the understanding that if it helped me so much, these strangers to me that wanted the best for me.. what if I can give that back to other people through my training, which I now am blessed and able to do!!!
I am not a bodybuilder, I am not a selfie taking shirt off type of person that wants to showcase themselves… I am a kid till the day I die that wanted to achieve something and did! … and it was because of my emotional motivator that I stay true to which is “Disgust” and also the level of respect and help that I received from complete strangers that wanted to help me do better and be better for me. This has taught me to not only understand that “I can” but that through my past experiences with nutrition, fitness and weight training, as long as there is someone there to always care, “you can” … and believe me, Im gonna always be there for each one of my clients… whether they like it or not, we don’t do easy!
