Growing up, Warren Grossman had no intention of forging a career as a health and fitness professional. And while he was athletic as a kid, his health took a turn for the worse in his early 20s after accepting a desk job and falling into an inactive lifestyle. But that has all changed. Now three years into being a group fitness instructor and personal trainer at Los Cab, he took a few minutes to share his fitness journey…
Have you always been a fitness fanatic? Ever since I was young I played team sports – hockey, baseball and football. I was into skateboarding and rollerblading and stayed active through my teen years. When I turned 22, I took a sedentary job where I was sitting about 8-10 hours a day and gained 145 pounds, ballooning to more than 300 pounds. After first making nutritional adjustments and losing about 60 pounds, I finally made it back to the gym with encouragement and support from my family. After working out for a couple of months and seeing results, I was hooked. Working out became part of my daily routine. And I eventually decided to change careers and move into the fitness industry.
What is your specialty at Los Cab? I am an NASM certified personal trainer, a NASM certified senior fitness specialist, a certified TRX (Total Resistance eXercise) instructor and a HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) instructor. I also instruct group boot camp classes and stride (treadmill) classes for all ages.
