About Me<br />
Stephen began his fitness journey in<br />
<strong>the</strong> 6th grade when he started playing<br />
sports. Throughout middle school and<br />
high school, he played football, baseball,<br />
and ran track. Along with that, he was<br />
consistently lifting weights, eating<br />
healthy, and training to be <strong>the</strong> best<br />
athlete possible. Throughout his time<br />
training as an athlete, Stephen became<br />
passionate about <strong>the</strong> process of muscular<br />
growth and strength. Post-graduation,<br />
Stephen continued to enjoy incorporating<br />
fitness and health into his daily routine.<br />
During Stephen’s junior year at ACU,<br />
he decided to get certified and began<br />
personal training at Abilene’s Crunch<br />
Fitness, and he is now training at <strong>the</strong><br />
SRWC. Stephen is well-versed in personal<br />
training and can assist with any goal you<br />
aspire to achieve.<br />
“People have different motives and<br />
goals for going to <strong>the</strong> gym, but<br />
everyone is driven by <strong>the</strong> desire for selfimprovement.”<br />
