when the gym started

Almost 5 years ago I made the decision to join a gym. I was determined to follow a training plan based on goals and results. The only option: hire a personal trainer. This is where Guillermo comes in.

I started talking to him and he explained what the training consisted of and what surprised me (the first) was that there were no promises! On the contrary, I remember talking about objectives through simple strategies. The second thing I miss is that there were no restrictions on eating, except for some basic recommendations, very basic.

The surprises did not stop here. Next was the evaluation that Guillermo gave me the first day: I filled out a questionnaire, we talked about what I wanted to achieve, and then we went on to a series of basic exercises. The truth at the time I thought, what does he do?

After this evaluation, he told me that I was going to do my routine and that we would start in a few days. The day came together with another surprise: I imagined that the warm-up I would do would be to run on the treadmill for 10 minutes and that's all. To my surprise, there were a series of stretching exercises I had once done in my life. At first, I just got tired of warming up.

When we entered the execution of the routines, I thought: a piece of cake! But no, big mistake! Turns out the way I did my exercises is far from the way Guillermo asked me to do them. The difference between doing an exercise right, using a good technique, and doing as God gives you understanding, is huge! Actual! One should focus on tightening the abdomen, buttocks, back, keeping in mind the shoulder blades, breathing and finally lifting the dumbbells or rod! At first it's difficult, but the support is there until it comes out as it should.

Everything goes little by little, without hurrying and making the necessary changes/adjustments. To this day I have been training at Guillermo for 5 years and after the pleasant surprises in the beginning, with his help only personal fulfillments and achievements have been achieved
