Meet Preston Rogers of Finao Fit in West Midtown

Today we’d like to introduce you to Preston Rogers.

Preston, can you briefly walk us through your story – how you started and how you got to where you are today.
My journey started when I was 18. I was working at Planet Fitness as member services. While working there, members would tell me how good I was with the people and they could see my passion for fitness and that I should look into personal training, I never paid close attention to it until my grandmother told me to seriously look into it. So, at that point, I went and got my first certification and presented it to my manager at Planet Fitness. They quickly moved me to 30min circuit training and within two months, I was the head trainer. I continued working there for a year with soaring numbers but I felt stagnant. I wanted to be bigger and challenge myself to more opportunity. I had talked about it with my dad and he supported my decision to be better and step out as an entrepreneur. That’s when I made the move to Finao Fit. At Finao, I work as an intern and trainer. I am able to cater to my clients the correct way and help them reach their goals. Also, at Finao, I am able to see some of Atlanta’s best trainers in action and I am able to see how they operate. I also work under Denzell Jones (Owner of Finao Fit) who has been a great leader and mentor. I appreciate the fact that he is helping me along my journey.

Has it been a smooth road?
There have been struggles finding clientele. Also, due to my age, a lot of people look over me or feel like I’m not serious about my craft. Being soft-spoken also has been a challenge, energy is never a problem for me but when trying to go out and recruit clients I have a hard time sometimes breaking out of my shell. Also, being an entrepreneur, you have to learn from rejection and see them as opportunities to get better.

So, as you know, we’re impressed with Finao Fit – tell our readers more, for example, what you’re most proud of and what sets you apart from others.
I am a personal trainer. I specialize in helping clients burn fat and build muscle. I am most proud of how much I card about my clients and how much energy I bring to every session. I feel like me going the extra mile to ensure my clients are comfortable and that their experience with me is fun, full of energy and ends with them reaching their goals.

Let’s touch on your thoughts about our city – what do you like the most and least?
I love my city! I love the people and the energy around it. I feel like there is a lot of positive energy and people love and support one another. What I least like about the city is the crime rates.
