In his own words:

“Fitness training has allowed me to help hundreds of thousands of people throughout the world, of all ages and from all walks of life, to achieve extraordinary results. Besides seeing great changes to their bodies, my clients have additionally received profound changes to all aspects of their lives. This includes being happier, having better relationships, making more money, finding their dream jobs, and achieving all their dreams.

“I’ve overcome many obstacles in my own life and even most recently, have been dealing with the most challenging obstacle of my life—the tragic death of my beloved father, James Robsam Villepigue. This has been the greatest test for me and my family’s very courageous ability to move forward in the wake of chaos. The love that I hold for my dad has empowered me to continue on my wonderful journey of success. I honor my dad and am able to keep to the path I set for myself.

“For those of you who are new to the
Body Sculpting Bible
series, I grew up a skinny kid, who suddenly became very overweight around the age of 14. I was bullied and teased, all the while dreaming for a slim, muscled physique. Unfortunately, in an attempt to lose weight quickly, I became bulimic. I managed to get very thin, but very sick. One’s not worth the other, trust me!

“I soon discovered the importance of a clean and healthy lifestyle, comprised of healthy eating, fitness, meditation, and major self-discovery. Fitness gave me the confidence I needed to stand-up for myself and conquer all obstacles in my way. I am so thankful for my discovery of a healthy and fit lifestyle and only wish that everyone could experience it for themselves.”

Believe and achieve!
