Have you ever wondered why someone might choose personal training as a career? While everyone has their own individual experiences and interests in this field, most trainers have three things in common: A love of health and fitness, a desire to help people achieve their goals, and inspiration.

Often, the trainer has come into the field as a result of being inspired by one or more people who influenced their journey. Personal trainer Ralph Roberts is no exception. He cites the following three personalities as major influences in his career choice.

Chris Freytag

Chris has been an ACE certified coach and trainer for over two decades. She radiates health, fitness and enthusiasm. Like most personal trainers, she gets a deep sense of fulfillment from helping people look and feel their best. She has a down-to-earth personality and approach that makes her likable and effective. She has a huge fan base of people who have achieved amazing results with her help.

Todd Durkin

Todd is more than just a personal trainer. He is a performance coach, motivational speaker and an author. His passion for helping others is evident in everything he does. He has trained a number of professional athletes, and has won the ACE/IDEA personal trainer of the year award on two occasions. Todd takes a multidisciplinary approach to his training, including nutrition education, massage therapy and a variety of other techniques to help his clientele achieve their goals.

Dolvett Quince

You may already be familiar with this star-level trainer if you’ve ever watched the show "The Biggest Loser." Although he has been training for years, his career really launched with his appearance on the show. In addition to that, he has made appearances in other shows, has created several programs and authored a book. Dolvett 's passion for what he does is infectious, and he continues his one-on-one coaching with clientele that includes other personal trainers and a number of celebrities.

What all of these trainers have in common is their commitment to bringing results that change people's lives. Not just physically, but mentally as well. Ralph Roberts shares the sense of commitment to quality and constant improvement with these trainers. He continues to develop training plans that bring about long-lasting results, and places a high priority on providing the best possible experience for his clients. He has been helping his clients achieve their fitness goals for years, and he can help you, too. You can find Ralph at the Downtown Athletic Club in Amarillo.
