Strong By Design Podcast Ep 47 Fat & Disgusted to Fitness Model with Luis Montoya
Sometimes we find ourselves in a place where we are very unhappy with our ourselves, and this ultimately facilitates a massive shift to a better life.
Growing up Luis Montoya was always active and fit, but after getting “comfortable” in a relationship and life, things changed and he found himself gaining a lot of weight and ultimately feeling “disgusted” with himself. It was at this time in his life that Luis took action to create massive change in his life. Not only did he regain an optimal state of health, fitness and wellness but he also created an impressive career for himself in the fitness industry.
Listen to this young man’s inspiring and inspirational story in this podcast.
“I didn’t realize just how out of shape I was and I just felt kind of disgusted with myself, I had a hard time looking in the mirror, I had really low self-esteem and that was the shift for me. I wanted to make that change for my kid. So, I was like alright you know I’m going to get in shape and change my life because I don’t want my kid to see me this way. I wanted my kid to have that Superman Father figure.”
