#15 - C.J. Watson

Loving Life Fitness Podcast

C.J. Watson tells an inspiring story of a Marine Corp Veteran who faced challenges after active duty and endured many common outlets to lessen the pain. C.J. tells the tale of how he overcame it all and is now an inspiration. He used his deepest, darkest moments to channel the energy to create a happy and successful life where he is able to help and inspire others to be the best versions of themselves.
C.J. is the proud owner of Transformation Fitness in Palm Coast, FL, where his business thrives due to his no nonsense approach to training and his experience with training people with injuries that include both physical hurdles and mental hurdles as well. He provides individualized personal training and small group classes by other talented local instructors.
C.J.'s fitness journey started at the age of 13. He was always the little guy and loved watching his muscles grow. Upon getting out of the Marine Corps, he worked various jobs until he had spinal fusion surgery and was out of commission for over a year. Luckily, he started working for a chiropractor as a trainer for clients with injuries. He eventually made a transition into full time trainer and gym manager at a few facilities until COVID hit in 2020 and everything shut down. After a lot of thought and prayers he decided to launch Transformation Fitness.
C.J. continues to train 5-6 days a week in order to maintain his low back. Training has been a part of his life and will continue to be a part of his life until Jesus calls. He has a passion to help clients reach goals or just maintain their lifestyle, whether with personal training or classes. At Transformation Fitness, we all have the same mentality, to give clients a great, safe and fun workout every day!!!!
