"I had always been physically active and loved to lift heavy for the sense of feeling strong (the bonus of course was looking good), I even became a trainer and holistic nutritionist however in 2009 I stopped regularly training due to many different factors, a relationship that took up my time, work, injuries and health issues that lingered until I took up yoga and healed my body. I became immersed in yoga and started teaching yoga in 2011. In 2012 I started my own business combining everything I do, and I completely lost myself.
I became busy growing my business and helping others but I felt like a hypocrite! Here I was telling people what to do and training them meanwhile even though I "looked" like I was in shape I was in the worst shape ever! Felt miserable! Hated my body! And all summer refused to wear shorts or a bathing suite, needless to say it was my worst summer ever.
Well I could only feel bad for myself for so long until one day I snapped and said I'm going to hire a trainer and get into the best shape of my life.... If only finding a trainer was that easy!!!
I found a few really awful trainers that actually put me back mentally they were complete flakes and totally didn't care leaving me at the gym waiting numerous times without calling or showing up! I was furious and ready to give up. And then I came across Depinho Fitness and I went over his website over and over again. What made me send that first email to Christian was a testimonial from another female who's body he transformed to the point where she had competed!
Now I had always dreamt of competing when I was younger but after this major neglect to my body I thought no way! But I emailed him and set up an initial meeting to discuss my goals.
Now with the first meeting I went in strong stating I was serious about getting fit and wanted a trainer who was serious about helping, since I had just experienced some poor excuses for trainers I thought it was crucial to set ground rules before I wasted anymore time and money.
Christian seemed serious enough, we shook hands, that was in August of 2012 and I haven't looked back since!
He has completely transformed my body. Pushed me when I needed it the most, encouraged me when I needed it the most and he helped me live my dream of competing on March 16, 2013!!
Christian is an amazing trainer, his passion and love for what he does shines through... Even when he trains me at the crack of dawn he's ready to go and challenge me in ways I never imagined. His energy and professionalism has always made me feel comfortable and at ease.
He's not only a great trainer but also a great role model and inspiration!
He transformed my life and now I can continue to do what I love and not feel like I'm a hypocrite because I once again love, live and breathe the lifestyle that I had drifted away from ...and all thanks to Christian Depinho. Thank you for saving my life and helping me live one of my dreams! Truly grateful to be able to call Christian Depinho my trainer.
