"I am 58 years old and been a distance runner for 43 of those years. While running is good for endurance fitness and keeps your weight down in fact mine was too low, it doesn't make you strong or functionally fit in my opinion. So my issue is more challenging than your typical weight loss story. Inspired by my daughters gymnastics and a childhood desire to be stronger, especially in the upper body, rooted from embarrassing myself in PE while in school, I started introducing calisthenics into my workouts six years ago and now do mostly calisthenics and not so much running. The training made me a lot stronger but I wanted to be able to do intermediate calisthenics and felt I needed some professional help for that. I met Guy Catz through Instagram and found out he is an amazing athlete, a rock climber, American ninja warrior contestant, a calisthenics specialist, and a personal trainer. Because I have been at this for 6 years, am kind of old and also autistic having poor coordination and balance, I knew I would be difficult to train at this point. But Guy changed all that. He is as passionate about your fitness as he is about his. At the same time he is also humble, kind, and not full of himself. Because of my past, I struggle with low self esteem and self doubt but he believes in me and has me doing stuff that I thought was beyond me. In one session he had me do some progression movements and like that I was doing muscleups. It was totally like magic how he was able to do that considering this is something I struggle with a lot to do on my own. In addition, I can do lockouts, hand clap push-ups, hand clap pullups, archer pullups and now working on levers and he has other plans for me. I love training with him, it's like a play date rather than a workout and am always so sad when it ends. What always helps is that he believes in me when I did not believe in my self. For the first time I am actually feeling better about who I am and believing that I can get better and stronger thanks to Guy. Also because he is so amazingly athletic he can demonstrate all these movements and trains right along with you. He makes this fun and training with him is the highlight of my week. I have done crossfit and worked with another trainer and they have been good and helpful, but Guy is absolutely the best for me. Thank you so much for training me."
