Jim’s C2 fitness journey started 5 or 6 years ago on the Walking Track where, over time, he lost weight and became more fit. His next step was to C2 Personal Training. Jim has worked with a number of C2 Personal Trainers over the years ~ personal training helped him to be comfortable in the gym, and the personalized workout plans were helpful for him ...to work on his goals. Most recently, Jim has been powerlifting training, and may have his sights on competitions in the future.
