BODY EMPOWER

Strengthen Your Life With Body Empower


Gerard R. Garrett

Hello everybody, My name is Gerard R. Garrett and I’m a Mexican-American (wait to hear my accent; it is hard to miss ha ha ha). I’d just like to let you know a little about me. One of the things I love to do (besides shopping and going to the movies) is to lift weights. I started lifting back in 2002 when a coworker invited me to workout with him. Couple of months later I noticed some changes such as strength and some muscle. However, because I did not know that nutrition is crucial (especially if you workout) and also because at that time I was working in a pizza place, (I was eating too much junk) my workout results were slow. Sometimes I wished I could have started lifting and eating better at an earlier age, however never is too late to change one’s habits. Around 3 years ago, back in San Antonio, TX I did my very first BODYPUMP™ class. At first I thought it was okay but now I love it to the point that I became a certified BODYPUMP™ instructor last year.
Regarding my education, I have a B.A. in Biblical Studies and I am currently working on a Master’s degree at Gordon-Conwell Seminary in Hamilton, MA. My fitness related goals are to be a certified personal trainer and the other one is to do a Natural Bodybuilding show (held each October at the Cape Cod). My plans are to first finish seminary and then to accomplish these two goals. About TV shows, I love to watch “The Biggest Loser” and “Survivor”. What I love about the “The Biggest Loser” is the fact that they show that combining clean eating habits and hard workouts really make the difference; therefore, if it works for them, then also will work for you and me. One of my favorite sayings is: “You can’t change of body but you change your body”.
Last but not least, I’ve been happily married for almost 3 years. Hope to see you soon at Bodyempower !!
Until then, Stay strong, eat clean, and workout hard!!!
