Today we’d like to introduce you to Lawrence Inman.
Lawrence, can you briefly walk us through your story – how you started and how you got to where you are today.
Fitness was not always my passion. I started my fitness journey because I was dealing with personal health issues. From a young age, I have dealt with asthma, numerous people told me I wasn’t allowed to do activities because of it. I was determined to prove them wrong and create/live a stronger, healthier life. I started fervently studying my own body and my own nutrition
I invested time educating myself in ways to grow and change my body. Because of my determination, and zest for knowledge, I’m able to do everything I was told I could not do growing up.
One goal that came to the forefront of my journey was that I wanted to compete in a body building competition.
In 2017, I started bodybuilding, I placed 2nd in my show and decided that I had a real passion for this. I took a year to grow my brand, and really educate myself in the ways and life of personal training, body building and nutrition.
In 2018, I stepped back on the stage, it solidified that this is truly my passion. I continue to grow and compete because I love seeing how my body changes and I like the challenge that each competition prep brings.
The passion that began with investing in myself has grown to invest immensely in others.
Every client I encounter has goals and a story. My job is to walk alongside them to help, encourage, lead, and attain their goals. I am constantly studying bodies, lifestyles, and nutrition to come up with the best possible plan for each client to meet their goals.
Great, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
It most definitely has not been a smooth road. Every day is a balancing game between my military life, my work life, and my personal life.
I was originally in corporate America, when I decided to transition out and start my own business, everyone told me not to. The reality is that when you are invested and passionate about what you are doing, you are willing to push through the ugly phases.
My job is every hour of every day. Honestly, every minute spent looking at check-in pictures, answering questions, designing/helping with meal plans, building my brand is fulfilling. However, I’ve had to learn to take time for myself and still have goals for myself. It’s important to find balance in all the things you are passionate about.
Please tell us about Break my 5th Law Fitness – what should we know?
I am a personal trainer and a bodybuilding competition prep coach. I specialize in very individualized plans for working out and nutrition either online or in person. I utilize all the knowledge that I have gained to transform people’s bodies.
I conceived the concept/brand of “Break my 5th Law”, which simply explains my theory of working towards becoming a healthier individual inside and out. “Break my 5th law” is a brand that believes no one can stop a person from becoming the person they envision in their head, the person they want to see in the mirror; it takes drive, determination, ambition, and guidance.
My philosophy encompasses much more than generic instructions, and general sessions. It truly predicates on your personal style, motivations, and fitness levels. You don’t have to trust me; trust our work together. Trust the process that I will guide you through.
Break my 5th Law is special because I didn’t read what I teach out of a book. My methods are rooted in pure hard work, sweat, and tears.
I am proud that with my own hard work, sweat and tears I have built a brand that started with one person at 6 am on the track at Clark Atlanta, to the thriving business it is now.
Is there a characteristic or quality that you feel is essential to success?
Success comes as the by-product of a life lived from the inside out. The key to living a successful life is grasping the awareness that you are most successful filling a passion and doing what you love.
Success comes for me every time I see a life changed. Every time I see a goal met. Every smile, every transformation, every breakthrough, they all come together to make me know how truly successful I have become.
