After working at it with Poku, Park noticed a weight loss of 10 pounds and his confidence improved, soon moving into the public gym.
“He spoke with conviction and smiled at everyone,” Poku said.
“Once we stopped training in the private room and started working out in the main gym, Adam’s weight loss accelerated beyond my expectations. His nutrition was on point, his form for every exercise we did was flawless, and he had 10 times more stamina than when he first walked into the gym.
“Six months after training him, I saw a brand new young man that I had never seen before.”
Now, just over a year later at 17, he weighs in at 150 pounds, his weight loss goal, a dramatic drop of 165 pounds. His girlfriend, Claire, often joins him in his exercise routine.
To maintain the weight loss, Park drinks five to six bottles of water a day, eats fruit and granola for breakfast and continues with protein for lunch.
“I want (other teenagers) to see that hard work pays off, and that they can make this change in their lives as I did,” he said.
He even conquered his fear of roller coasters at the fair.
