mikhael de los santos

mikhael got in shape, then became a trainer himself.

Mikhael De Los Santos starts his story by saying, “I wasn’t always a short rotund person. In high school, I used to be very athletic.” However, he says, “When college came around, I had a little bit too much fun.” After college, he decided to lose the weight, so he joined 24 Hour Fitness and dropped 22 pounds - but he still had weight to lose, and was stuck. So he hired a personal trainer. She helped him drop another 25 pounds, and recuperate from a back injury. In his own words, “Mary changed my life. She vastly improved my heath and fitness. Most importantly, Mary helped me believe in myself.” The result? Mikhael was so inspired, he’s now a certified personal trainer with 24 Hour Fitness. His advice to others looking to do what he did, “Have faith in yourself. Self doubt is perhaps the biggest roadblock anyone will face when it comes to fitness goals.”
