I started going to the gym back in 2022 — not with a coach, not with a program, just with hope.

Like most people, I wanted to change. I wanted to feel confident, healthy, and strong. But staying consistent wasn’t easy.

Some weeks I trained hard. Other weeks, life took over. Sometimes it was money. Sometimes it was time — juggling school, work, and everything else.

There were months where I didn’t even touch a dumbbell. And every time I stopped, I felt like I had failed.

Worse than inconsistency, though, was lack of proper guidance.

I trained without anyone correcting my form or guiding my progress. That led to minor shoulder joint injuries — especially in my left shoulder. It still cracks when I rotate it, and though it’s no longer painful, it’s a reminder of what happens when you push without knowledge.

And I don’t want that to happen to any of you.

🇨🇦 The Challenge of Starting Over in Canada

Before I came to Canada, everyone told me the same thing:

“You won’t be able to continue gym there — life is too busy.”

And they weren’t entirely wrong.

Life here isn’t easy.

But I made a decision early on:

If there’s no way, I’ll make one.

I sacrifice sleep to train at 6 AM, before my classes or work. I sleep only 6–7 hours a night, not because I want to — but because I’m chasing something bigger.

Not just physical transformation, but discipline, self-respect, and a future I’m proud of.

🎓 From Academic Excellence to Certified Coach

Before moving, I completed my secondary education in the medical stream, scoring over 90%.

That background gave me deep knowledge of the human body, nutrition, and movement.

When I arrived in Canada, I took it a step further and completed my ISSA Personal Trainer Certification, making everything official.

Now in 2024, at just 20 years old, I’ve taken all my experience — the struggle, the injuries, the setbacks — and turned it into something powerful.
