Even in a country like the USA where fitness has become an obsession, most people exercising do not seem to think it illogical to drive automobiles to gyms while doing their best to avoid walking. -- Dave Wilson

About My Weight Trainer.com

Mission Statement

To foster and promote the physical well being of people in the web community by making 'organic' exercise, nutrition, and health information available in various formats.

What You'll Find on This Site

The site talks about all aspects of fitness and nutrition, but the main focus is on weight training, and even more specifically for beginners. I created this site as a place for ordinary folks to go for unbiased, factually based, naturally focused information on how to live healthier, more energetic, and hopefully longer lives.

My main focus right now is to provide free how-to information on weight training exercises and nutrition. I hope to soon provide free weight training routines, as well as custom routines for those who are interested.

Why this Site Exists

So why this site when there are so many fitness related sites out there? I grew tired of the huge number of sites that either provide biased and/or incorrect information, or want to charge you for good information. The web is full of snake-oil salesmen.

Think about it... How many web sites have you seen that try to tell you something like this:

Buy our pills, and you'll get more antioxidants in a single dose than are contained in an acre of pomegranates!

or how about like this:

Simply follow our exercise program for 2 seconds a day, 1 day a week, and you'll have a six pack of abs in one month!

or say you finally find what appears to be good information:

Okay, those aren't actual quotes from anywhere (as far as I know), but you get the idea. They're not very far from what's really out there on the web. Many people will try to sell you the latest fad supplement without any care as to whether or not it's safe OR effective. They just want to line their pockets.

Who I Am

That's where I step in. I'm just a regular Joe. Or a regular Bob, in this case. Here's what I think qualifies me as both an ordinary person as well as someone who can give you good information:

I have been certified as a Personal Trainer with AFAA.
I've been interested in, living, and studying fitness and nutrition for over 20 years now.
I struggle living the type of life many people now lead; sedentary job, kids, little time or energy for taking care of myself. So I feel your pain and understand the challenges you're facing, and know ways to overcome those challenges.
I think good, quality information should be freely available to the entire web community.
Most importantly, I care deeply about helping people, which comes from my deep and abiding faith in our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
