This review is focused on one individual. His name is Quintana Drake; he goes by Q. He is a certified personal trainer and also a registered nutritionist. I had set up a fitness assessment with Q upon renewing my gym membership.
Please know that I am very well-versed in fitness nutrition exercise physiology and general health. I fully expected to be bored during this assessment and did not expect much helpful advice--as I have seen many trainers and dietitians in the past.
First of all let me tell you he is ENORMOUS and in amazing shape--he has even won the title for fitness competitions several times. I was extremely surprised and pleased when he was genuine, down-to-earth, and extremely knowledgeable without any sort of cockiness. He genuinely loves what he does and wants to share that passion with other people. He is dynamic and motivational. We spoke the majority of my hour but did have 20 minutes to do a quick workout. He managed to show me new things and new techniques which caused a greater burn than I have felt for a long time. Needless to say, I will be sore tomorrow, and I am very glad that I have found a 20 minute workout that challenges the heck out of me!
Thank you LA Fitness for this gem of a human being, whose heart is actually as big as his muscles :)
