**Equlibrio is Spanish for balance or equilibirium.**

Balance is being in the physical and mental state of steadiness.

Why is this important?

I’m in the business of helping others achieve balance in their lives.

Balance of life, work, family and fitness.

It’s gratifying to help someone along their fitness journey and see their hard work and determination lead them to their goals. I truly want to help others succeed!

I became a certified personal trainer in 2017-2018 and worked at a small gym in San Jose and eventually went to work for a big box gym in Sunnyvale towards the end of 2018. I did all this part-time while I pursued a career with PG&E. I worked my regular 9-5 schedule and trained clients either before or after my shift. It was a hobby that soon turned into a passion very quickly.

My career as a personal trainer was cut short due to the pandemic and in 2020 I made the choice to hire a coach to focus on myself and my own personal fitness goals. I continued to work full-time @ PG&E but still had that itch to get back into the fitness industry.

As I worked on myself both mentally and physically with the mentorship of my Coach, I knew all the knowledge and information I was soaking up would allow me to help others achieve their fitness goals. I knew I had to become a quintessential client and succeed with the programs developed for me by my Coach. This would allow me a proven system I could apply towards my future clients. I often spoke to my Coach about getting back into training others. In my mind, I thought I could just work for him and help him build his already thriving online coaching business. I never really saw myself as a business owner running my own thing but I was inspired through a conversation between him and I when he asked me, “Why don’t you start your own business?”

Couple that question with my current goal outside of fitness to become a 1st time homeowner in the Bay Area and _BOOM_ Equlibrio Strength LLC was born! Naturally, it came out the passion for me to be of service to others and the need to supplement my income to go towards a future mortgage for a new home.

We came, we saw and we conquered...

Had really one primary goal in mind for Nationals...

Have a really good squat day. Managed to put about 20lbs on my squat in the past 12 weeks.

Went 3 for 3 for the day on squats and got my 185kg (407lbs) squat checked off my bucket list.

It's been a journey to to say the least and felt good having my coach @bodyofkings, my daughters, lovely wife @loca_paparazzi and the @centralstrengthgym community all in my corner today!!!

Felt like I had them all on my back and couldn't let them down.

We going to Disneyland!!!
