Introduction to Morelife and Me
Hello ya’ll! My name is Felix and I’m so excited to be here and if you’re reading this, that you’re here too. I took on a new journey of Fitness as a Personal Trainer on March of 2014th and since then I’ve looked back a couple of times and I’ve kept moving forward. Before that I was at a point in my life where I felt like I hit my lowest of lows. I was overweight, away from my friends who are my family, and completely unhappy with where my life was. I also had no direction of where I wanted to go as well. I snapped. Something had to change. I couldn’t live like that any longer. I was sad, lonely, unfulfilled, and without a sense of purpose and I was no longer willing to accept that as part of my life.
So I put my pride aside and asked a friend for help. He was gracious and allowed me to stay in his Brooklyn home. The next day after getting back to NYC, I had a job. I was on a mission! I decided that I wasn’t going to drink sugary drinks, I was going to eat better, and exercise. I had no gym membership but mannn, that didn’t stop me. I was working out right there on the hardwood floor of my friend’s apartment.
I was on my grind and losing weight quick! I lost 25 lbs in 3 months and a total of 39 lbs all together throughout that year. A great friend suggested I’d become a Trainer. I had reservations about it but I needed a job that paid better. So I went into that interview prepared and killed it. I was hired on the spot. My life changed that moment and I had no idea that it was going to take me here. I’m so happy to be here.
Here I am a little more than 5 years after and I’m still learning, growing, and enjoying the benefits of a healthy and fit lifestyle. Through this journey I’ve learned that what I’m passionate about is not only fitness. Yeah, I love the benefits of it but what I’m passionate about is life. I’m passionate about having quality of life and being able to move freely and joyfully. Being able to play and run and swim and do all that your beautiful body is able to do.
My dream is to impact and inspire people all over the world to choose a life where they take care of their bodies and health. To be a space of compassion, love, and acceptance where people feel heard and understood. All the while presenting how much fun the journey can be and the fun they can have in their powerful bodies. It is hard work but it is so worth it once you breakthrough the beginning stages. I also want people to get that “healthy” food can be delicious and you can be creative with it experimenting with all sorts of spices and flavors! I love to eat ya’ll!
I’ve learned through this journey to recognize what I value most. That wasn’t as clear to me earlier on. I value family, peace, joy, love, laughter and gratitude above all else. It’s what makes me feel closer to God. I love grass, trees, and nature because it makes me feel at home. I love dirt! Have you ever been barefoot and connected with the earth? It’s a little cold and it warms up to you little by little. Finally, I value creativity and full expression of self and I strive on making everyone feel loved, accepted and understood.
I want to thank you for reading. I’m mega excited to be putting out content that will transform peoples’ perspective on fitness, nutrition, and life.
Yours in health,
Coach Felix
