I am an amateur bodybuilder who last competed in 2014 and due to some unforeseen circumstances I managed to get completely out of shape. Luckily, one day while searching for a gym that had dumbbells over 125 lbs, I found Gymbo’s gym.  Being in the gym and seeing James Collins’ old competitive pictures all over the walls brought back the motivation I needed to get on stage. 

In about a year working with Gymbo from February 2023 to April 2024, I was able to lose over 80 pounds (starting weight was 280 now I’m currently 197). I am back to my 2014 competitive bodybuilding weight, and on April 6, 2024 I was able to compete in my 2nd bodybuilding competition in 10 years where I placed 2nd in Novice Heavyweight and 2nd in Heavyweight. Dieting with Gymbo was made easy and simple. The wide range of food suggestions that he gave me to reach my macros made things less stressful, and I was able to meet my nutritional goals everyday!
