Grant

Owner, Mind and Matter Fitness and Nutrition

Health and fitness has been my passion for as long as I can remember. My fitness journey started when I was about 8 years old and I first discovered a dumbbell. I would sneak into my mom's room to grab her 5lb weights and curl them like a mad man because I saw someone do it on tv. It made me feel tough and confident. I was hooked.. At 19 I got my first fitness job working the front desk of an LA Fitness, at 21 I became a personal trainer at Gold's Gym, at 25 I was the general manager of that Gold's, at 26 I was running multiple Gold's and overseeing the personal training department, and now today I run Mind and Matter, my own fitness business. With over 20 years of personal and professional experience I have been blessed with the opportunity to see thousands of people positively change their lives. It's been an amazing journey thus far, but for me it's far from over! As a NASM certified personal trainer/nutrition coach I have continued my pursuit to help men build undeniable physiques they can be proud of. I focus on developing an individualized integrated approach that optimizes fitness and nutrition to get long lasting, sustainable results. Beyond the gym, my life's a dynamic journey. Balancing the unpredictability of working on-call as a locomotive engineer, being a single parent, and running my own business, I’ve had to master the art of time management and learned the importance of commitment. From this firsthand experience, I have positioned myself in an ideal spot to help others who lead a similar lifestyle. Success isn't just about personal records though; it's about showing up, even when life throws you curve balls and my journey isn't without its scars. I've faced personal traumas head-on, using them as stepping stones to emerge stronger than before. It's these battles that have equipped me with a unique ability to guide you through your own challenges and overcome barriers that may have once seemed impossible. At the heart of my journey lies the fusion of passion, experience, and the dedication to helping you unlock your potential. Let's embark on a transformative path together, where your goals become our shared mission, and your success becomes our ultimate achievement!
