#30 What I’ve learned being a trainer Pt. 5
There is so much HATE in the health & fitness industry. I can't even count how many times I've heard statements like "that trainer sucks," "that exercise/equipment is pointless," "that certification/coach is terrible," or something in the realm. At times, I find myself guilty of this too. In my opinion, one of the main reasons may …

#29 What I’ve learned being a trainer Pt.4
"Rule #1: no pissing, no moaning!" Coach Charles Poliquin's favorite rule. I first heard him say this in 2012 at one of his seminars.

#18 Identity
Today is April 19, 2018. It has been exactly one year since I set my foot back on the motherland, South Korea, since 1999. It's been one amazing year, not only because I got to travel more than I've ever had, but mostly because it's been a crucial influence in figuring out my identity. Actually, this …
#17 What I’ve learned being a trainer Pt.1
This topic has been on my mind for quite some time now. I had to learn a lot to be even somewhat successful being a trainer/strength coach, and actually, need to continue to learn more due to the ever-changing science of health & fitness.
