Let's DISH on Fitness & Personal Training with Phil Bedel, Personal Trainer
"I was once almost 300 pounds, couldn't run to the end of my driveway, and hated how I looked and felt. I had just moved up another pants size and was afraid I would soon have to shop in big and tall stores. I was also newly married and had a wonderful little toddler at home. I knew I wasn't healthy, and I wanted to be around long term for them. Fast forward 8 years and I've lost 85 pounds and kept it off, I've run a 1/2 marathon, and I am currently training for my first triathlon. Now, I want to help other people on their journey! I recently became a certified personal trainer! I am starting an online coaching business so that I can help anyone anywhere. If you are ready to get started. Message me today!"
