Retrone W. | Personal Trainer Monroe NC

When I was growing up, I lived in a little town called Seneca, South Carolina. I graduated from Seneca High School in 1991. I was a volunteer coach for track from 1991-1995 at my formal high school. I loved coaching the kids from year to year watching how they evolved into young men. As the years passed, I became more and more out-of-shape. I took a long look in the mirror and didn't recognize the person I had become. I started reminicing of my younger days and how "fit" and "in shape" I was. I topped the scales at 220. It was at that moment I knew I needed to make a change. So in 2010, I began to workout daily. In the beginning of 2011, a co-worker and a good friend approached me about becoming a personal trainer. After giving it some thought, I decided it was a great idea. I became a personal trainer and received my certification in 2011.
