Today we’d like to introduce you to Jason Raposo.
Hi Jason, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
Was born in Queens, NY. Moved to Connecticut 2 years later. Coming from a Portuguese and Spanish background, started playing competitive soccer at 4yrs old, all the way thru to high school. Moved to Myrtle Beach in 2004 with my parents to start a restaurant business.
Started working out seriously in 2006 because of a roommate at the time, needed a ride to the gym and somehow, before I know it, I’m signing up at the gym for a free trial week before I left!
Long story short, I fell in love with the journey of transforming myself, not just physically, but more importantly mentally. I feel like it has also helped me immensely in other aspects of my life as well.
That is when I felt it was my calling to teach and help others with their own personal journeys, to transform them into stronger/better versions of themselves! In 2012, with no support from family, I decided to take the leap of faith and leave the lucrative family business, to go for my personal trainer certification, and start Transformer Training.
Definitely didn’t start easy and had a lot of sleepless nights, however with consistent hard work and my strong faith in God. We are here, 10+ years, and thriving!
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall, and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
Definitely hasn’t been a smooth road, but nothing worth having in this life doesn’t come without some kind of struggle. There were times when my family would doubt my training business, saying it wouldn’t make it, it wouldn’t make enough money for sustainable living. There were also times when I wasn’t making it and I had to take side jobs to make a sustainable living. I just wholeheartedly believed in my calling and was not going to give up on it.
Appreciate you sharing that. What should we know about Transformer Training?
