Today we’d like to introduce you to Barididum Nalelo.
Barididum, please share your story with us. How did you get to where you are today?
I’ve been active my entire life playing football and running track. What got me into becoming a fitness trainer was actually an idea from a few coworkers from HEB. They would invite me to workout with them and I would basically be teaching them proper forms of exercises and new workouts I do or did. From there, they told me to start teaching people how to get in shape.
From there, my coworkers were my first ever clients, friends from high school or people I grew up with became clients. Just really being consistent with my work brought me here, my main focus was always about my clients and less of the money, my joy was keeping my clients happy so they could keep coming. With the love and support from everyone, I’m now going to own a fitness studio.
Overall, has it been relatively smooth? If not, what were some of the struggles along the way?
It wasn’t a smooth road at the beginning, I was just an upcoming trainer and getting clients wasn’t so easy. When I first started, I didn’t have a gym to train at only had outdoor parks to use. It kind of made business bad because I could only train based on the weather. Summer and winter were the hardest nobody want to be freezing cold or hot so most of the time I went days without training. Also, I got memberships at gyms and would get put out because I was training my own clients there, honestly didn’t know if this was the path for me.
Fitness4Greatness – what should we know? What do you do best? What sets you apart from the competition?
I’m a fitness trainer straight out of Alief, Texas. My job is to keep an active healthy lifestyle for people who don’t really know too much about being active and healthy also to be a motivation to those who just need that extra push. I’m known for my different styles of training which are weight loss, weight gain, and toning up. I’m proud of the business I’ve built, started from starch and now I’m a booked trainer with an upcoming studio. What sets me apart from others is I try to figure out what my client actually needs and figure out what diet works for them because what works for others won’t work for everybody else.
