I have been going to the gym for about 4 years if you include the time I spent working out at home and went from 130 pounds to 170 pounds. I love helping people when it comes to the gym and have made custom workout plans for a good chunk of my friends. My whole time working out I got my information from the internet and taught myself everything. I had started from scratch and built my fitness knowledge through constantly reading, watching, and learning new things.
