Kaizen Conscious

Introducing my Business Partner, Frank!

When I first met Frank, I thought he was off the friggin chain! I could always see him across the gym doing his unique workouts, in matching Nike outfits, where he was the only man that consistently incorporated plyometrics into every workout. He stood out. He wasn't always trying to lift heavy ass weights by the weight racks and still was impressively jacked. As he is predominantly an ectomorph, I was impressed by Frank's muscle size and technique and that he had pushed through his genetics to gain mass through much intensive training. He still had size while working multiple body parts through circuits, sets and plyometric intervals. I couldn't help but notice that the former college track runner was on that fitness elite level as I was.


One day, as destiny would have it in the fitness world, I bumped into Frank while doing similar workouts. In getting to know him, I fed off of his positive energy, focused demeanor and energetic attitude. He was the first person I'd met in a long time that had just as much energy as I have. It rejuvenated me and my workouts. Needless to say, we became gym besties and decided to join forces in fitness training and nutrition counseling after sharing our blunders, successes, epiphanies, competition and fitness modeling dreams. We lamented about simplistic training mentalities that would force our clients to eat more not less, to work out harder, not longer and to do less cardio than overcompensating when they hadn't eaten enough to do another cardio!  We even planned on working towards doing more competitions as cohorts. In the verbal exchanges and workouts where we competed and challenged each other, I began to see Frank's value. Through vision and much planning, I wanted to take my business sense to another level and realized that I no longer wanted to do it alone.  

After learning that Frank had started his own training business, Kaizen Fitness Training, starting with two heavy bags and a garage several years ago, he built up to attaining 12 clients while holding down a full time job. I couldn't help but be even more impressed. That, not only did he have the know how, he had more experience than me. He showed me how to box and continues to do so as he was an MMA fighter and has been fighting since he was 12. He was a powerlifter in his early 20s and now an aspiring fitness model and training entrepreneur in his latter 20s. Throughout these years, his passion for fitness has attracted several clients with the posting of one training video.  Frank can proudly say, that whenever a prospective client has been interested they have ALWAYS signed up. I thought, I want that person on my team!!

I knew that it wasn't just business sense I wanted in a partner, I wanted to join forces with someone who had heart, not just knowledge, but understanding and a noticeable passion to constantly be bettering themselves from the inside out. I had found my partner. Always live by example, you never know who is watching.

Our company, Kaizen Fitness Training, was appropriately named "Kaizen", a Japanese word meaning continuous improvement in all areas in a given industry. In this case, to be "Kaizen conscious" will be used to describe the infinite improvement of one from the mental to the physical realms of training. Frank and I both believe that physical fitness is just a part of being healthy. You must not neglect your spiritual, mental and emotional health in order to truly be balanced. Most exercises a person performs and how well they perform them are typically based on whether the individual thinks that they CAN do it to begin with.

In Kaizen Fitness Training, our clients will experience workouts that incorporate basic kickboxing and boxing techniques intertwined with strength training/plyometric techniques for optimal results. We are one of the few training companies in the DC, Maryland and Virginia areas that combines these three forms of fitness.



Be enlightened. Come take the Kaizen challenge and see how balanced and in harmony your mind, body and soul become!

"With Kaizen there is no final destination, growth is a never ending process that happens every day. Each day we all move forward or backward, there is no neutral or standing still. Which way do you want to go?" -Frank B. and Kristen T.
