Men face a significant challenge in achieving their desired workout results. That challenge is trust. They often hesitate to trust a trainer, a workout shake or anything else on the other side. It’s not easy for trainers to establish trust either. Trainers might appear as authoritative figures with perfect bodies and postures, but let’s be real: why would you trust that? Right?
And that’s precisely why clients often give surface-level answers like “I overeat cake” when, in reality, there’s so much more going on. They’re overworked, stressed, constantly argue with their significant other and sometimes even hate coming home. They might be struggling with deep-rooted issues that have affected their appetite and overall well-being. Who would openly share that with someone they don’t trust?
But hey, here’s a little secret: Ali has been through it all. Loss, depression, alcoholism, divorce – you name it, he has experienced it on his fitness journey. He’s faced his demons, which helps him connect with you. It’s not just about shedding those pounds; it’s about building self-trust and conquering those deep-rooted issues from the past. By sharing his vulnerabilities, Ali can open the door to help you on a genuine level. Because here’s the thing: trust is something most people struggle with no matter what they seek or how they seek it.
We sat down with Ali for a quick interview.
Why do you do what you do?
“I ventured into business knowing that adhering to the mission creed of others was inevitable, right? And you know, mainly when I worked as a personal trainer in gyms, I couldn’t just spill out my flaws and say, “Hey, I’ve got alcohol issues” or “Today, I’m not feeling great, I’m sad, I’m depressed.”
“Your 5 a.m. client certainly didn’t sign up for that! So, I always wore a mask in the gym, you know? Looking fabulous, saying all the right words, being all motivational – I had that corporate mask on. Yeah, that one!
“But guess what? It only made things worse for me. And frankly, it was a little selfish. I couldn’t help people in that state. I trained clients in gyms for years, and all they lost was a measly five pounds—no fundamental transformations. But as soon as I broke off on my own and decided, “I’m doing things my way,” everything changed. I could finally be myself, which made it easier for clients to be themselves. And then we started making fundamental differences. Transformations. We worked on healing the insides, which is essential, and that led to more effortless healing on the outside: excellent six-packs and an impressive set of arms. Yeah, we got those too. Because we do work you just wouldn’t find in a gym setting, it’s captivating and engaging and unlocks a new level of results.”
