Darren Snell
Who am I . . . The resume reads “A personal trainer with 25 years of combined experience managing health facilities and independent consulting in the fitness and lifestyle industry” – straight laced but altogether true. Aside from that I dipped a toe in the ring as a professional kickboxer back in the day and had a successful run as an amateur. More importantly when it comes to fitness I get it, and I get most of you – I’ve succeeded, I’ve failed, I’ve cheated myself, I’ve given it my all, and I’ve tested my resolve more ways than you can count. In short, I’ve walked many paths and concluded its always best to keep moving forward, one foot in front of the next.
