Today we’d like to introduce you to Alexander Sepulveda.

So, before we jump into specific questions about the business, why don’t you give us some details about you and your story.
I have been active in Health and Fitness Field for well over 20 years, since I was 10 years of age, I have been active in sports such as Baseball, Kenpo Karate, Basketball, and Weight Training. I Played baseball from 1992 – 2003, from 1999-2003 I played for UMASS Boston division 1 where I graduated with a full scholarship. Meanwhile in 1990 I started learning Martial Arts. I became a Black belt in 1996, then in 1997 and 1998 I became a black belt National Champ IKC Champ. From 1997 to 2004 and 2015, I was a regional Champ. I became a First Degree Black Belt in 2013, in 2015 I became a 2nd Degree Black Belt as well as Full Register Instructor and Owner or a Full register Kenpo Charter School. This is a full register charter through the IKKA (International Kenpo Karate Academies).

I’m also a Brown Belt in Shorin-Ryu Karate where I won a 1994 – 1995 Kata Champion ship in Boston Ma. I also was an active Boxer, I fought under USA Boxing Program for the Lynn Boys Club and Club America I was a Golden Glove Champ from 2000 & I was National Golden Glove Champ on 2001. I’m also a register USA Boxing Coach where I train USA Boxing Boxers and Pro Boxers. I been training Pro Boxers and Amateur boxer since 2008.

In 2015 I got certified as a Sport Performance Coach under USA WEIGHTLIFTING another USA Olympic Program. In 2004 I had a couple death on the Family and my coach past away too, in which I fell into Stress and depression, I felt Stuck No way out!

My health and my life-style fell to a destructive path, I found comfort in food and alcohol. I gained over 100 pounds in total throughout my destructive path where I had high blood Pressure as well as high cholesterol. I was slowly killing myself it was not until one of my mentors pulled me aside to tell me these words that stuck with me. “Without risk, there are no rewards, without passion, there are no results.”

It was then I realized I could turn my life back around again into a stress free healthy life style. My next challenge was weighing 260lbs. and having to lose the 100lbs. that I had allowed myself to gain. My first step was to change my nutrition and start working out again. I was so determined to lose the weight that I accomplished it in less than a Year. If it was not for my education and knowledge that I have obtained over the years I would not be where I am today. I love having these qualities, you gain more knowledge and with more knowledge you gain more wisdom. So when I took my personal trainer test from the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA-CPT) and passed. A month later I went for my Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist Certificate (CSCS) and passed it too, I knew I would not stop there, So I became a TRX Instructor Level 1 and 2, also I’m a Certified Special Population Specialist (CSPS), and a Tactical Strength and Conditioning-Facilitator (TSAC-F). Since I have been helping people reach their goals. This has become a blessing because I’m helping people become stronger, leaner, faster, and gain more Confidence. I have shown People a way to a better lifestyle so they can stay younger, and healthier for the rest of their lives. Health and fitness saved my life. This is why I have become a well-rounded Personal trainer and a specialist to show clients my Passion. Ponce De Leon and other explorers began looking for the fountain of youth and many People have failed, but since the beginning of time the real fountain of youth been right in front of our face all along.
