Been awhile, so I figured time for an update.
So far life is still crazy and hectic but fun. We are close to hitting being open for 1 year already. Time flies when you are working 18 hour days. This coming year is going to be huge!!! New members, new competitors, and another NPC season. I plan on doing the Branch Warren in July and have added some good amount of size to my legs, back and shoulders. Still need to bring up my arms and chest though. Kids are growing like weeds and today I have been texting my daughter. This is not a good thing. With the resent events of shootings and things, I have come to realize every second with my kids is that much more precious then ever before. God is working in my life, giving me opportunities to be His messenger and minister to people. Funny because I have no idea what to say but He just lets the words flow. OK...Merry Christmas everyone and  I will keep more updates coming.

A new chapter

Since opening the gym we have started a new chapter in our lives with new faces and interesting daily adventures. We have an awesome group of people here from a 6' something giant power lifter, to a 5' bikini competitor, to just a normal guy looking to get in shape. It's like we're a band of misfits held together by the simple bond of faith and the iron. I love my crew and the way everyone supports one another. The best way to describe it is my family (my wife and three kids) has now grown to consist of almost 15 or so of us. Life is good and it keeps getting better. It is hard at times trying to stay true to my faith and keep all this going at times, but I manage. As many of our crew come to me for advice and guidance it would be easy to spit out something random but I pray about all their concerns and worries and allow God to intervene and guide me. I love the fact that my Lord is a part of this place. I walk through the doors and I can feel His presence here. Each day I pray and ask Him to be a part of this gym and the lives that we are able to touch and i feel blessed that He listens. I have to give some HUGE props to my wife. Michelle is who keeps this place going by doing all the behind the scenes work like phone calls, bills, scheduling, contacts and such. All I do is train my clients, toss in my two cents on things she needs help with, help get our name out there, a little bit of cleaning, and be the face of this place. Without her it would all fall apart and I am thankful to have her here. Ok, I'll post up more regularly to let everyone know how life here at Metroflex  is going. I am still a christian, a husband, a father, a student, and a bodybuilder. I will keep writing about each of those areas....stay tuned.

Metroflex San Marcos

Well we have been open just over a month now and going strong. There have been the doubters, the haters and the believers.... thank all of them for empowering me. Those that believe kept me focused, those that doubted gave me strength, and those that hate really motivated me to do better. We are here and here to stay. We have almost 130 members now with over 15 powerlifters and 12 or more competitors scheduled to hit the stage in 2012. Most importantly we have numerous of members here to improve their health, make changes, and push themselves harder then ever before. So San Marcos, are you ready for a change and to take your health and fitness to the next level? If so come on by and if not, no worries....we'll be here waiting when you are.
