He was 33 years old and he walked into the Illuminate Gym located in Denver, Colorado to meet with a personal trainer. He was overweight but the youthful look on his face made it hard to believe that this gentleman wasn't healthy. However, as he sat down with a personal trainer at Illuminate Gym he explained that he had suffered a heart attack 6 months before because of a poor diet that consisted of too much fat, salt, sugar, alcohol and of course bulk of his 'nutrtion' was coming from fast-food. On top of a horrible diet he worked tirelessly behind a computer watching domestic and foreign stock markets in an attempt to make the safe bet to make investors millions of dollars. The problem was he had forgotten about himself and his own health.
"I made pretty good money and unfortunately I forgot about myself and my health. I bought beautiful suits, nice cars, and a nice house," he explained. Then it happened... A severe heart attack hit this particular client at age 33 and he was faced with the reality that he had focused on all the wrong things in life.
"I just feel blessed I have a second chance to live a healthier life and I'm hoping Illuminate Gym's personal trainers can help," he said. He's right he does have a second chance and his focus is now on himself. This client helped me take a look at what we do day-to-day and put it into perspective. I always say that investing in your health and fitness is not a waste of money even though too many believe it is. Today I realize that we have living proof that working too hard, eating poorly, and not working out can lead you to a successful career and an early death where you will not be able to enjoy the fruits of your labor.
