Today we’d like to introduce you to Blair Henderson.
Blair, can you briefly walk us through your story – how you started and how you got to where you are today.
My name is Blair Henderson and I am a certified personal trainer and exercise physiologist I have a bachelors degree in Human Movement Science from LSU and a Masters in Exercise Physiology from the University of Memphis. I began personal training at the age of 18, while enrolled at Louisiana State University. I continued personal training throughout my collegiate and professional career over the past seven years. I am a former 2x NCAA-All American Track Athlete and own three school records at LSU. After retiring from my professional career as a track athlete, I moved to Houston, TX, from Washington, DC. I founded Elite Training Services LLC, in August 2018 and went full time in January 2019.
My goal with Elite Training Services is to educate, inspire, and motivate healthy lifestyle changes. I’ve used my platform on social media to eliminate confusion on weight loss, dieting, and supplements. Recently, I have published my first book. Weight Loss Made Easy: The Blueprint to Reducing Body Fat, which is now available on Amazon and my personal website Blairthetrainer.com. This book will act as a guide for those looking to begin a weight loss journey. From mental preparation, to easy to follow workout plans, the book covers everything you’ll need to know to be successful.
Great, 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?
When I moved to Houston, I didn’t know anyone here, nor did I have any connections. I found the gym that I train at online and built my business through social media. Interacting with locals through hashtags and tagged locations, I grew a local following and began to recruit new clients. I was paying rent to train at the gym while sleeping in my car and showering at the gym each day. I struggled to get clients and didn’t see a profit for the first four months. January 2019 was my breakthrough, after quitting my other job, as a GNC store manager. I quickly filled my schedule and began incorporating successful business strategies I learned from other trainers and former employers. I’ve built a large online client base that allows me to train remotely while continuing to train my clients in-person.
We’d love to hear more about Elite Training Services.

As a former 2x NCAA All-American Runner and Professional athlete, my training style focuses on developing the essentials of strength, stability, and mobility, while assuring everything we do is purposeful and in line with your goals. I am known for educating my clients on what we are doing and why we are doing It. Personal training is an investment, not an expense. It does no good to lose weight, and stop training with your trainer, not know how you lost weight. I want my clients to be able to maintain their healthy lifestyles and equip them to help facilitate change in others. IF you are trying to lose weight, chances are you have a friend or family member who is as well. Everyone can’t afford training, but if you can learn and help them, then I would call that a success on my end. I work with all budgets and provide a service that is client-focused and not money focused.
Is there a characteristic or quality that you feel is essential to success?
I think my confidence has allowed me to reach a different level of success. When it comes to chasing a goal, dream, or whatever it is I desire, I never think what can go wrong. I never think what the worst-case scenarios are. I never think what the odds are. I’m fully convinced that if I do something and I am the determining factor on whether or not it’s successful or not, I will succeed. I believe in myself and stand by everything I do and say. It doesn’t mean I’m perfect. It means I don’t lose because I’m too focused on winning. I learned that the most successful people in this world all think alike. They are obsessed with winning and succeeding. They work hard but work smart at the same time. They don’t take no for an answer and they aren’t moved by the negativity of others. I promise. If you can adopt this mindset, the level of confidence you will develop will create influence. That influence will allow you to change the lives of others who are inspired by you. That influence will also open doors and in turn, lead to more successes. Once you remove self-doubt, you will reach unimaginable heights.
