CRUNCH TIME The benefit of being a cruncher Words by Sergio Spasov | Image by Tokkoro.com Speaking as one of Crunch South Beach's personal trainers and an AFM/Fitness Lead, I want to share my story about how this industry changed my life forever and how having the right trainer helped me stay motivated. My early years were spent in Skopje, the capital city of Macedonia. At a very young age, I started playing basketball. Sports were my life. I pursued this until high school, when I had a knee injury, forcing my life to take a different turn. Shortly after my knee started healing, I started working out with one of the best fitness trainers and rehab specialists in the country. This was the motivation I needed to keep me going. As a disciplined athlete, I did everything my trainer asked me to do and I noticed my body rapidly changing and recovering. I was amazed how you can shape your own body with the right nutrition and proper training. This is how I realized my true career path. I wanted to do the same thing for others — to help people achieve their goals, as well as motivate and coach them to success.
