Today we’d like to introduce you to Edgar Sermeno.
Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?
🙏It all started just by helping friends and people I didn’t know around the gym in correcting their form or even by just spotting a person out.
I went through the struggle in my fitness journey where I didn’t have the resources as in technology or guidance to know what to do. So I had to rely on magazines and trial and error to perfect my form. But as time passed by I have two mentors that took me under their wing to guide me Lee and Carlos that was the greatest thing that helped really take my fitness to the next level.
Not knowing if you are doing it correct or not even having a clue on what to do is very frustrating so I knew what I wanted to do. I genuinely wanted to help so people wouldn’t go through what I did.
Hard work and reputation got me to where I am at now. I put my 100% into each client. Every client is different and each one has a different goal so I have to accommodate to them and their goals.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
Has it been a smooth ride? Not one bit at all. There are so many ups and downs. Negative energy and people trying the most to do in order to ruin you. You just have to block out the negativity and push towards your goals!
Appreciate you sharing that. What else should we know about what you do?
I am a Trainer. What I specialize is to help them reach the goals they have in mind. But my type of training is very different but addicting. Really can’t describe it in order to know what I am talking about you have to become one of my clients to experience it. You will find out why people hate me and think I am an asshole lol. I take pride in what I do and what I deliver to my clients. As well its not just training that I offer my clients. I offer them something that money can’t buy and that’s friendship. I am there by their side through good days and bad days. My phone is open to them 24/7 if they ever need to talk to someone.
Proudest moments I have is knowing that I was part of their goals and that I helped them reach those goals. For a person to trust you with their health is a very serious situation and truly honored when a person decides to train with me.
I am very passionate about people and it’s what sets me apart. I will not let you quit or fail. I will get in your face and tell you the things you don’t want to hear but it’s what you need to hear. Check my IG and you will see @silverbackfitnesshtx.
Any advice for finding a mentor or networking in general?
Ask questions and ask plenty of questions. Don’t be afraid not one bit. Being afraid can hold you back.
Talk to people and put yourself out there so the world can see who you are and what you have to deliver.
