My Training Partners

I am very fortunate to have a group of training partners who are dedicated, motivated and an inspiration to me. There are a total of eight of us in my group, nine in the summer when my wife isn’t teaching school. Besides me, the group consists of 4 men and 4 women. The ages range from 25 to 54 years old. All of my training partners but two have either been trained 1 on 1 by me or have been in one of my group training groups. They transitioned from being trained by me to being my training partner for one reason or another. I’m writing this article, not to tell you how we train, i.e. the x’s and o’s , but to tell you what this group does for me and how they inspire me. I’m going to tell you about each person, how they inspire me and how they became a part of our group.

Tim: Tim is my head trainer at Pro Performance. He is a graduate of Georgia Southern and did an internship with me a couple of years ago. He had a lot of experienced in strength training and was an athlete. He had several years of training experience under his belt. Little did he know what he had gotten himself into. Tim learned in a hurry our system of training and has been going strong ever since. Tim motivates me to push! He keeps me young and energized. Being 20 years my junior, I find myself being left in the dust sometime, but that’s part of the game. Tim is a motivator for me.

Mike: Mike began at Pro Performance by participating in 1 on 1 personal training with me and going through one of our Boot Camps. Mike has a lot of training years under his belt, I mean a lot. Mike is 54 years old. If you saw him, you would call me a liar. He is in great shape. He is an extremely hard worker, very intense and proves that proper training can and will reverse the aging process. Mike motivates me of what it will be like down the road.

Brian: Brian began training with me 3 years ago, before I opened the doors of the existing location of Pro Performance. Brian is a CFO. Enough said! Not a big man, but a huge heart. Brian is very strong for his size. He makes time to train no matter how busy his schedule may be. With the never quit attitude, Brian is proof that no matter how busy your schedule might be, if you want to become fit, you can. When Brian started with me 3 years ago, he could do 2 pull-ups. He didn’t understand the concepts of pushing and pulling hard. He can do 20 pull-ups on any given day, he’s done 2 pull-ups with an additional 55 lbs. and he definitely knows how to push and pull now. Brian motivates me to not make any excuses. NO EXCUSES! JUST RESULTS!

Phillip: Phillip is a successful business man who has worked hard to succeed in his business. He began to train with me in a golf program and stuck with me doing 1 on 1 personal training. Phillip was very dedicated from the start, but didn’t understand what training was really all about. We started very slow but progressed steadily. One day something came up with my schedule and I ask Phillip if he wanted to train with me. He accepted the invitation and hasn’t looked back. He learned very quick how to take it to the next level. We compete in our Friday workout and Phillip comes out on top the majority of the time. Phillip motivates me to stay focused, organized and to dream big.

Now the Ladies:

Tammie: Tammie is the wife of Phillip. She has been training with our group for about 6 months. She was told by another trainer that she would never have an athletic looking body. Boy oh boy was that trainer wrong. Check out my blog: www.bodybyproperformance.blogspot.com and judge for yourself. Tammie is extremely teachable and a very hard worker. She does what she is told and does it with extreme intensity. I am very proud of what she has accomplished in such a short period of time. Tammie motivates me to never stop trying, no matter what others say.

Amber: Amber works for Phillip. I have known Amber for several years, but had never really hung out with her. We invited her to join us on a W.O.D. in the summer and she kicked butt. She crushed the workout. She passed the test. She has had extreme results in a very short period of time. Her body composition has changed and her strength has shot through the roof. Amber motivates me in a way that no matter what life throws at you, you crush that barrier and move forward in a positive way.

Kat: Kat also works for Phillip. Kat trained with Phillip a few times while I was doing 1 on 1 training with him. She has a lot of genetic potential. She has an athletic body and is gifted with natural strength. She can rep 20 pull-ups! Kat also is one of my trainers. She is very motivational and has a passion for helping others achieve their goals. Kat motivates me in a way that what ever gifts God gives you, utilize them to help others. She does a great job doing this.

Lisa: My wife of 23 years! One of the hardest workers I know. She is a full time wife, mom and teacher and is working towards becoming and administrator, trains clients at 5:30 AM 3 days per week and 5:30 PM 3 days per week. From a physical stand point, she is a studette. That’s a female stud! Gifted with long muscle bellies, her strength as well as body composition is great! She doesn’t look her age, and all of my female clients want her legs. Lisa motivates me to keep going when there seems to be an impassable road block! She is a true inspiration to me.


I wrote this article for two reasons. First, you have to surround yourself with a winning team to be successful. Two can accomplish more that one. A team can accomplish anything. Second, our group training program is the key to our success at Pro Performance as well as the client’s success. I have groups that have been together for 2 or more years. Their results a phenomenal! They motivate each other, hold each other accountable and often compete against each other. (My views on competition is another article)

As you can see, I have surrounded myself with a successful team. Not only do they succeed in the weight room and in training, they are successful in life. I am truly blessed!

Remember, the “TEAM” always comes before the “ me”. You can not and will not succeed without a TEAM!

As always, NO EXCUSES! JUST RESULTS! Train hard and smart and God Bless!
