Hey guys my name is Mauricio! I’m currently at 593 followers on IG. I post fitness related content. I’m a personal trainer who really wants to build aand expand my reach to help new clients. What I want from IG4R is to ultimately build a community and a gym where like minded individuals can come together to help each other, and finally live the dream I’ve had since I first started working out and helping train people.

5 Struggles - At 30 years old, I don’t have a booming business & continue to live at home. I’ve been chasing the dream of owning my own personal training business for years now. I stay hopeful that I can eventually wake up & not rely on a corporate job to keep me complacent forever. - I’ve worked almost every single job one can imagine. From door to door sales to retail, grocery store, to finally my dream of personal training. I’ve worked in an office & realized that I can’t be confined to a desk having no interaction with people. I always felt that a 9-5 wouldn’t ever fulfill my purpose. - There will be nights where I constantly feel as if I’m not getting anywhere in life. It’s hard to tell the people closest to me that I feel like a failure. I worked in real estate for 3 years and didn’t succeed. I realized that it all came down to me and my efforts. - I’ve struggled with family, friends or people telling me what I should do with my life. Constantly being told I should do this, or work in this field. It hurts that they can’t see I genuinely love being in the gym and training people. - I constantly felt that one day I would just “figure it out” and that day hasn’t come yet. That the life I’ve always wanted would become a reality. It hasn’t yet but that doesn’t mean it has to be like this forever. _________________________________ 5 Contrasting Wins - Dream: I remember when I was 18,  my parents asked me what I wanted to do & I told them I wanted to be a personal trainer. That dream had never once died. I workout & train every single day.  I have slowly been building my private clientele. Now is the time to ramp it up to the next level. - Purpose: Even though I work at a commercial gym, I get to do personal training daily. I get to be around my passion daily and consistently help to improve other people’s lives. It literally gives me strength to keep pushing forward every single day. - Existential Crisis: Instead of feeling sorry for myself or feeling like I’m getting nowhere, I decided to take a step toward making my dream a reality. It feels almost like a breath of fresh air. When you know what your goal is and what you need to do to achieve it, nothing can stop you except yourself. - External Pressure: I learned to block out the noise of external pressures & focus on what I want to do. I have the passion and heart for being the best personal trainer I can be. I realized a long time ago that I want to do this for me, nobody else.  - Coaching: Instead of continuing to do the same thing and expecting a different result; I decided to start working with a team who will help push me & guide me towards success and living the life I’ve always wanted. Even being a coach myself, I decided I can’t get to where I need to be without a coach/program.  IG4R has me excited to see what I can achieve not only on Instagram but in my career.
