Get to know Grant

Q: What has been the most important part of getting where you are?

A: The most important part for me has been my own personal journey with fitness. The trial and error of learning and being my own personal trainer has made me an even better trainer for my clients. They get to learn from my mistakes and avoid making the same ones I did.

I think it is important to help others and am always willing to help someone for free when needed. I also always seek out working with people that are better than me in order to better myself.

 

Q: How do you spend your time when you’re not at the gym?

A: I enjoy spending time outdoors with my wife and dog, tinkering in the garage, and going to ride motocross with friends.

 

Q: Favorite car?

A: Growing up I watched the Dukes of Hazzard, so if I could pick any car in the world it would be a 1969 Dodge Charger.
