Today we’d like to introduce you to Rene’ Serrate.
Rene’, please share your story with us. How did you get to where you are today?
I was very shy and awkwardly skinny kid growing up. I was constantly bullied at school and was abused verbally and physically by my parents whom my mom was very emotionally unstable and my father was and still is an alcoholic. For example, my mother would get my brother and me up around 4:00 am by screaming ‘you kids are pathetic by sleeping in to get up and help me clean the house before you have to go to school.’ Luckily, In my teens, there was a gym that opened up in my small town. I was able to escape in the mornings and work out. I met a girl that knew bodybuilding and she showed me the ropes.
From that point forward, I was hooked. Month after month my confidence started building as my body transformed! I started to love myself something I had never done before. I started doing fitness competitions in the 90s which is when I really started to learn about nutrition and fitness as a whole. As the years moved on, people would ask me for help and I loved helping them transform not only physically but mentally. I found my passion and vision to help people not only in my community but globally. I am a firm believer we have this one amazing life to live so why not live it to the fullest through a healthy lifestyle. I always ask my clients to pay it forward so that way we can impact millions of lives! I have helped 1,000s of people get fit and healthy over the years. I currently own 2 brick and mortar locations called Alpharetta Fit Body Boot Camp and U First Fitness LLC plus I have an online business that services people that are not local in my community!
Has it been a smooth road?
No, it has not been a smooth road. We encounter the challenges that any small business owner would face. But truly the biggest struggle is helping an individual change their limiting beliefs so we teach mindset strategies along with our fitness and nutrition program because if a person doesn’t get out of their own way, then they can’t live a fulfilled life of abundance and happiness.
We’d love to hear more about your business.
