My philosophy is to have an environment that encourages people to learn and challenge themselves through exercise in order to be happier and healthier. With my knowledge and experience, I will help you develop skills inside the gym that will improve your experiences outside the gym. I competed in track through high school and college. I have also overcome a major sport injury and use that experience to teach others about proper body mechanics and functional training.

Angelique Hudson

Hi. I’m Angelique Hudson, from Long Island NY. I grew up as an obese athlete playing baseball, basketball and softball, never focusing much on my health instead emphasizing family first over everything. Years ago, I decided to take control of my health finally at 310 lbs. and slowly began my fitness and weight-loss journey. Overtime I lost 110 lbs through my own self-developed nutrition and fitness plans. Through my fitness journey I discovered a passion for weightlifting and powerlifting, which I showcased often on my social media channels. Eventually this led me to start training others upon request, which showed me a new career path and direction in the fitness industry as a Personal Trainer. In 2018 I decided to quit all my jobs, pack up my car, leave behind my family and friends, and relocate to Houston for better living and potential career opportunities in the fitness industry. I eventually became acclimated to life in Texas and Houston, studied for and passed my PT certification. I am now an American Council on Exercise (ACE) Certified Personal Trainer with years of weight-loss and muscle growth experience through strength and cardio training. I am experienced primarily in bodybuilding and powerlifting style workouts, which I can teach clients using good form, practice and consistency. My passion is helping others achieve their fitness goals through body transformation, as I have transformed myself. I pride myself on ensuring my clients understand and feel comfortable performing any exercises/programs in the gym, can meet their fitness goals and maintain it long after as well!

He has gained knowledge of fitness while training at Houston Gym. As of now, he inspires others as a personal trainer here at Houston Gym to accomplish the feat of strength and conditioning like he has been or whatever his client's personal fitness endeavors may be.

Arien Ortega

My name is Arien and I am a Certified Personal Trainer. I became interested in fitness when I was 16 years old. My weight had always fluctuated when I was younger, from being an overweight kid to being very skinny with little to no muscle. It wasn't until a few years later when I realized I wasn't happy with myself and the way I looked. Thats where it all began. Going to the gym started off as a hobby. Later it became something that I was truly passionate about and very much enjoyed. As I continued to go to the gym and worked on my strength I came to the realization that perhaps I could not only better myself, but others as well. As I continue my journey, I hope to spread my knowledge to others and help them better themselves and feel more confident.
