Reshaping Childhood Adversity into a Fitness Legacy: Dominic's Journey

What do you do when life throws you curveballs?

In this episode of Push to Be More, Dominic Gerleve from Vision Captured shares his journey of resilience and perseverance through childhood adversity and how it led him to start his own fitness company. From experiencing his father's heart attack at a young age to finding solace in exercise, he realized the power of health and the importance of convincing others to invest in their own wellbeing. Join us as we explore Dominic's inspiring story of turning obstacles into opportunities and reshaping his childhood adversity into a fitness legacy!

Here's some of the great stuff that we cover in this show:

• Dominic relates his childhood to Tony Robbins who had a similar childhood to him and was able to overcome adversity, which inspired him to use his challenges as a reason to do better in life. He believes that going through difficult times makes you stronger and helps you realize that failures are temporary and just moments in time.
• Dominic's resilience and attitude towards overcoming obstacles fueled his passion for fitness, which was further driven by his father's heart attack, making him aware of the importance of health and fitness.
• He believes that getting people to commit to themselves and overcome doubt and inertia is the key to starting their health journey. He suggests asking them why they want to make a change and getting them to connect their health with their personal values and goals, such as spending time with their family, which can be a powerful motivator.
• Dominic's journey in the fitness industry started at 17 when he worked for a third-party personal training company, and he eventually became a co-owner of a company at age 21. However, things didn't go well for him in this business, leading to a five-year journey of rebuilding his confidence and gaining valuable lessons from his failures.
• His current company, Vision Captured, provides third party personal training and is transitioning to an in-home training service. He plans to eventually open up gyms in smaller towns to change the culture and make them more health conscious.
• Dominic recharges his batteries by doing exercise, going to church, and occasionally doing extreme activities. He incorporates a of exercise such as yoga, weight training, and cardio, and uses his workout time to listen to educational material like audiobooks. This combination of physical and mental exercise helps him start his day and feel empowered.
• He plans on expanding his gym business by taking on more clients and investing in commercial real estate, while also focusing on developing trainers with a diverse range of knowledge and experience.
