Angelique

Hi. I’m Angelique 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!

Alex

Alex, a man of many accomplishments. Alex was once a behemoth in stature, weighing 355lbs. That was 3 yrs ago. In this span, he has leaned down for bodybuilding competitions, all while avoiding the temptation of devouring Star Pizza where he still currently works. 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

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.

Travis

Favorite sport is rugby and while playing in college I fell in love with bodybuilding. I was ignorant at first though an dit took me multiple years of no progress to realize sometimes you need help. After educating myself to become the best trainer I could be, I am her to help you whether you are starting off at the gym, having trouble breaking a plateau, or just need someone to keep you in a good mindset and accountability. I am here to get you to your goal by creating hands on programming focusing on hard-work, dedication, and the consistency required to get measurable results.

JOSHUA

At the age of 17, I started my career in fitness. First as a student of combat fitness and conditioning thanks to the training I received in the Marine Corps. Throughout my enlistment and college, I maintained an open mind to the realm and culture of fitness and health. Health is a diverse and growing field that continues to evolve. Thus, creating a variety of approaches, which I use to cater and meet each clients’ individual needs. As a trainer, I do what I must to consistently to accomplish my clients and my own personal goals in health and strength using tried and proven methods of movement, stress and recovery. Bottom line, I love what I do.

Loryn

I've been in fitness since I can remember! Started sports at the age of 4, can you believe it?! I continued on to playing college basketball for Oklahoma state and ended up one of the greats. I became an ALL AMERICAN at OKSTATE, 1st team all conference and all defensive team. I have many accolades, including being drafted into the WNBA as the 18th overall for the Dallas Wings. In the summer time, I trained athletes and kids on the campus to help get in shape at basketball camp. I found out then that fitness and helping others were two things I was passionate about. Training combined the two! I went on to work for the Houston Rockets as a coach and taught kids and young adults in basketball camps. Nothing comes easy without hard work and dedication. I believe that with my help, all my clients will see that I'm a motivator, mover, and shaker as well as a team player as we work together to get you all the best results possible. I WANT TO BE YOUR PERSONAL TRAINER- whether you want to lose weight and drop fat and look like all of that, gain weight or anything in between- I'm your girl!
