Lorson Metelus
Lorson is first of his kind and last of a dying breed. There is nothing more important to him than God, family, and self-care.
Lorson was a multi-sport athlete in school (football, wrestling, track, soccer). Unfortunately, sports on a professional level weren’t written in the cards for him. After school, he served in the United States Army for five years as a 13B Cannon Crew-member. English translation: he worked in artillery or made things go BOOM.
If you ask Lorson, joining the military was one of the best decisions he could have made in his life. Something about being in charge of lives and billions of dollars worth of equipment is a heck of a task for an 18-year-old. Learning to walk into adulthood on your own in a foreign country taught him many life skills and lessons that he applies to his daily life.
The value of hard work, integrity, and personal courage, just to name a few. Sadly, his military career came to a halt after a life-threatening accident that nearly left Lorson paralyzed.
Learning how to walk again and being able to function pain free was one of the biggest challenges he ever had to face during my fitness journey. Lorson spent over two years recovering.
Being bedridden led to many unhealthy habits that led to declining health symptoms—including sleep apnea, pre-diabetes, and high blood pressure. During this time, he gained over 75 lbs. Concerned about his health, Lorson decided to rebuild from scratch.
Going from an elite soldier crushing physical obstacles to barely being able to accomplish regular tasks on his own was VERY humbling . Talk about tossing ego out of the door!
The keys to Lorson’s success were goal setting, consistency, and being honest with himself. Over the span of a year, he lost 115lbs! Most importantly, his declining health symptoms such as diabetes and high blood pressure were reversed. Today, Lorson is using what he’s learned on his journey to teach others how to better themselves.
No journey is exactly the same. Anything worthwhile is never easy to attain - through hard work, consistency, and belief in yourself, Lorson knows firsthand that lives can be changed.
A NASM-certified personal trainer and a competing bodybuilder placing top of his class, Lorson’s goal is to help you gain the confidence and mental fortitude to reach your desired goals.
