COVER STORY “ “ I love a challenge and really love helping others. IM: How does Dymatize help you achieve your fi tness goals?

I love a challenge and really love helping others. I employ two trainers under me who both utilize my same methods to help people get in shape. Jordan Wheeler and Jeff Davis have enabled me to grow my business and also service those people that I would normally have to decline because I am always full with clients. I tend to only take on 12-15 people at a time, as I want to be able to give them my attention 110 percent and never let them feel like they are a number. IM: What’s your approach to training people on your web- site and how does it differ from others? BF: There are too many people out there just racking up clients, sending them cookie cutter plans, treating them as a number and a method to make money. I fi nd that sad and
