Joey Guz – ISSA Certified & NASM Fitness Nutrition Specialization (FNS) Certified
I started getting into health and fitness over a decade ago. I didn’t grow up playing sports or in a family who made health and fitness a priority. I decided I needed a change because I wasn’t happy with the way I felt or looked. I didn’t know much about working out and bought every workout tape available to do at home. Cyndi Crawford and Billy Blanks were my go to’s until I could afford a gym membership. Once I started lifting weights, I realized what I had been missing all along. I immersed myself in the health and fitness community, going back to school to become a Dental Hygienist, then a Registered Nurse, and now a Family Nurse Practitioner. I realized that helping others achieve a healthier lifestyle was my true passion. After years of working out and eating healthier, while learning about best health practices in school, I decided to set the bar a little higher and started competing in bikini competitions. I again found another passion that seemed to fit my lifestyle perfectly. It wasn’t until I hired Amber for competing, along with reverse dieting, that I truly realized everything I had been doing was wrong. Not enough food, too much cardio, not enough rest. I was drained, tired, and made it an obsession more than something fun and rewarding. My metabolism needed work as well as my workout routine. Amber has taught me a great deal about how to have a happy balance with all of the above. I now pride myself on being able to help others, as she has helped me. I want my clients to enjoy the process, instead of dreading it, and learn what true balance means to them… most importantly I want my clients to love themselves, be confident, and STRONG!
