My name is Brian Smith most know me as Smitty or Coach Smitty. My fitness journey began over 8yrs ago & little did I know, a simple decision to fast & draw closer to God would bring me to a career in the fitness industry. I once weighed 350lbs, my pants size was a 52 and I wore a 4XL shirt. At the peak of my obesity I decided to make a change in my nutrition which in turn lead to an increase in energy and the desire to become more active. It took me just over 2 years of consistency and making a lifestyle change, but I was able to loose 150lbs and get all the way down to 190lbs, I was in the best shape of my life. At the time I was a assistant general manager at Dicks Sporting Goods. I became a certified Bootcamp instructor and started teaching Bootcamps in parks throughout the The Temecula Valley, North County San Diego and San Bernardino County. During that time I also started working out at Golds Gym in Temecula, Ca & always loved sharing my story and motivating others to keep pushing towards their goals. Eventually the General Manager that sold me my membership offered me a position as a fitness counselor. After a year of weighing the decision, I took a leap of faith to leave my secure well paying job to become a fitness counselor. With a background in sales and a story to inspire others I quickly moved up the ladder and in 6 short weeks I was the General Manager of the Golds Gym in Temecula. Sales was something I was good at, it was a skill that I had studied, developed and worked on consistently. Although I was good at sales, my PASSION was to inspire others and be a part of their journey, every step of the way! So I changed departments and became an assistant Fitness director for both the Temecula & Murrieta Golds Gym/EōS locations. So it’s been 5yrs that I’ve been actively training and inspiring others in this industry developing relationships in person & online to live a healthy active lifestyle. I’m now blessed to be in this industry and look forward to what God has in store for this next chapter.
