Mason joins GYMGUYZ with a love for fitness. Having played hockey since he was 3 and wrestling throughout middle school and high school. After completion of High school mason spent 4 years as an infantryman. During his time serving for the US Army he realized the importance optimizing our physical performance through lifestyle changes in both nutrition and exercise. Mason then chose to be a health fitness professional because having the ability to help others make these lifestyle changes is something that motivates him every single day.

He will help you find the point at which you want to quit and show you that you can always go beyond that point. Then after a month, that quitting point will be a warm up for you.
