dorian blancarte

dorian got back to his fighting weight.

Dorian Blancarte played football in high school and, as a lineman, was encouraged to gain weight. Once football was over, he went off to college, and the extra weight went with him. Like most people, he had some fun in college and gained a bit more. By the time college was over, he was overweight and out of shape, even though he was only in his early 20s. He decided to make a change and joined 24 Hour Fitness. Within a few months, he dropped 40 pounds and was leaner, stronger, and faster. Today he works out regularly and serves as a volunteer football coach at his old high school in Santa Barbara. “I have the strength and stamina to actually show the kids how to do the drills myself.” When asked what’s so great about being physically fit, he laughs and says, “The best thing about being in shape is, now, girls will tell me that I’m hot...that never used to happen to me.”
