Blake had a personal experience with being unhealthy. He was 100 lbs. overweight and scared of the gym. After being subjected to the stigma of not knowing how to work out in the gym, he started cultivating a knowledge of fitness and nutrition. Now, happy and healthy, he enjoys sharing that knowledge with people on their fitness journey. He will make fitness fun and inclusive for all ages and body types. Blake uses his knowledge, from his fitness journey, to help others transform their lives the way that fitness and proper nutrition took him from being fat and unhappy to fit and healthy. With a big focus on fitness and nutrition, he has worked with many people, who at first, were uncomfortable in a gym setting. His style of training includes using every tool available (free weights, dumbbells, machines, bands, etc.) that he used in his online training business (Red Shirt Survival Fitness) to ensure that you, too, can “Survive the Away Mission.”
