About Hunter

Certified Personal Trainer & Pn1 Coach
I’m Hunter C. – Trainer & Nutrition Coach at Success Fitness. As a kid, I was very overweight. At 12 years old I weighed 270 pounds. I was in poor health, and had no energy or confidence to do the things I wanted to do. I started working out but at first, I wasn’t losing any weight.

I received some birthday money when I turned 13, and I used it to buy a college level textbook on weight lifting. From that moment, I fell in love with learning about nutrition, weight training, cardiovascular training, and all things health and fitness!

As I continued my journey, I got stronger, gained confidence in the gym, and began to lose weight! It wasn’t a quick or easy process, and I made my fair share of mistakes, but over the next 4 years I lost over 100 pounds! Then, at age 16, weighing in at 170lbs, I competed in my first Natural Bodybuilding Show!

But that’s only part of the story…

After dropping 100 pounds, I still felt fat in my body. I struggled with binge eating and digestive issues. I went on to compete again a year later, only to face more dis-ease in my body; mental health issues, more digestive issues… I was sick more often than not, and tried fasting to relieve my digestive distress.

Let’s pause for a moment here… because I still love the world of competing! But my passion lies in helping people discover what their body is capable of, and learning to safely push their limits, but to do so with proactive awareness of what it takes to reverse from the extremes of competing in a healthy and sustainable way.
