I used to be overweight and was bullied a lot. Because of my huge size, jeepney drivers would always ask me to pay double, or worse, they wouldn't even stop for me. It was all very embarrassing and took a toll on my self-esteem.
Because of this I enrolled at Fitness First. My personal trainer, Ivan dela Torre taught me more than the discipline of working out, but also instilled in me a strong determination to achieve all my fitness goals. He even encouraged me to join the 2010 New You Achievement Awards. Ten months of hard work really paid off because I became the winner of the Shape Category and was also awarded the over all winner! Fitness First changed my life completely.
