Hello and welcome to the beginning of your new life! My name is Derek or Papa Bear as I am often called. Born and raised in Baltimore, MD; I knew that I wanted to make a difference in my community. I served in the United States Army for 11 years as a sergeant for over 5 years and participated in 2 tours to Afghanistan. After serving my country, I realized that it was time for me to apply my knowledge, expertise, and discipline to those who needed a push and the knowledge to begin and sustain a healthier lifestyle. My goal is to not only change your life physically, but to transform your mind, body, and soul. Always remember, any journey in life that is worth it, will not come easy.
