ABOUT CJ Holloway
During my early years, I maintained a slender physique throughout my childhood without much effort. I indulged in whatever food I desired, without any noticeable impact on my body shape.
As a teenager, I didn’t show much interest in weightlifting, largely because I didn’t grasp its principles. Despite participating in sports like football, basketball, and baseball, none of my peers seemed to incorporate weightlifting into their routines.
I observed a lack of impressive style or technique in the activities around me, further diminishing my interest. The movements seemed dull and repetitive, failing to correlate with the athletes’ physiques. It wasn’t until 2006, when I was living in Phoenix, AZ, that I finally delved into the world of fitness.
We Have A Gym Trainer
I became a member of a fitness center called “Bob Matthews Perfect Body.” While engaging in workouts, I observed the gym owner, a figure resembling a Greek God, guiding his clients through their training sessions.
His clients were fully attentive, and it was evident why – not only did he have an impressive physique, but his form was flawless, executing slow and controlled reps with substantial volume. Additionally, he exuded genuine kindness. Watching him, I thought to myself, “This approach must be effective.”
Inspired, I reached out to him, seeking guidance on muscle-building, dietary practices, meal timing, food choices, and, of course, the recommended exercises. His knowledge was extensive, and judging by his 24-inch biceps, the results were undeniable. Armed with this newfound knowledge, I embarked on my personal fitness journey.
Although I wasn’t aiming for the exact physique of Mr. Matthews, I knew I was weary of my existing look and overall well-being.
No gimmicks! Tried and tested Fitness Education
I immersed myself in a plethora of articles and books authored by various fitness experts, each offering diverse perspectives on physical well-being. Over the years, I experimented with an array of supplements, protein powders, fat burner pills, and workout routines to shape my physique and enhance my overall well-being.
My weight fluctuated from a light 165lbs to a heaviest of 263lbs, providing me with valuable insights into the intricacies of the body and its nutritional needs. Despite setbacks, such as a broken leg during an altercation at the age of 42, which temporarily derailed my goal of being in the best shape of my life, I remained resolute. A nearly year-long hiatus from the gym left me feeling defeated, but I returned with renewed determination, refusing to let failure define my journey.
Making a commitment to be the best version of myself, I continue to move daily, achieving a level of physical and mental well-being at 45 that I never deemed possible. Recognizing that life offers a single chance to make meaningful changes, I’ve learned through consistent workouts that the human body is an incredible machine with nearly limitless potential when utilized correctly.
One notable lesson from my fitness journey is the realization that not every online source has genuine intentions or provides truthful accounts of how individuals achieve their physiques. I find this aspect frustrating within the fitness industry, motivating me to assist those seeking genuine and accountable guidance. My approach is honest, transparent, and aimed at elevating the fitness journey for those who may be uncertain or skeptical.
Having experienced the struggle of desiring results without clear guidance, I understand the uncertainty surrounding where to start, whom to trust, and, most importantly, the “why” behind the desire to work out. I firmly believe that understanding one’s motivation is paramount, as individual reasons lead to diverse outcomes.
My approach doesn’t involve fancy, unattainable workouts designed for attention or curiosity. In the real world where we work and earn a living, the journey may not always be easy. However, the payoff of hard work, honesty, and accountability is undeniable. Long-term health and success may not always be glamorous, but the journey is undeniably worthwhile.

Working out with CJ has proven to be one of the most valuable investments I’ve made since 2021. CJ possesses excellent knowledge in what he teaches. I attempted to work out on my own a few months ago, but failed to see tangible results. No matter how motivated you are, achieving significant results requires dedication.
CJ emphasizes the importance of practicing good form at your own pace, providing the motivation, dedication, necessary support, and a new meal plan. He is incredibly patient—I’ve occasionally made him wait at the gym because I hesitated to leave my bed, yet he never complained, showcasing his understanding nature. While sessions can be challenging, CJ teaches that relentlessness is key to achieving good results. 💪🏾
Each day, CJ sends me motivational quotes to keep me focused on my goal. He has helped me overcome barriers, consistently offering support and guidance at any time. CJ is undoubtedly a reliable trainer.

Run Tha Rack!! Wow, what an exhilarating workout! I genuinely adore the routine; it’s a refreshing departure from the typical “4×12” routine. Your muscles will be pleasantly surprised! Moreover, you’re guaranteed to torch a significant number of calories while incorporating some intense cardio. Give it a shot—believe me, you won’t revert to the “old way”!
