Who is Eric Daye?

Hey everyone!

Ok,this post is for everyone to know who i am and how i got to where i am today.


Eric Daye CFP-PTS

From high school, Eric began his journey for a rewarding job that would leave him satisfied each and every day. Going to College to become a firefighter, Eric’s diverse knowledge took him to be one of the class’s top students through hard work and perseverance. Taking what Eric had learned in pursuit of becoming a firefighter, he found a new love, health and fitness. The desire to get up every day and make a change in someone’s life led him to become a personal trainer.

After receiving his Firefighting certificate at Lambton College, Eric began his quest at becoming a Personal Trainer. Eric knew that his next step towards doing what he wanted for a living was learning everything he could about helping people in Health and Fitness. Through countless hours of research and learning, Eric is now a Certified Personal Trainer. While learning will never end for Eric, he is able to live his dream of changing people’s lives.

Once Eric learned what the human body was capable of, he himself put what he learned to the test. Eric entered his first bodybuilding competition in 2007. Winning the classes he entered, Eric’s excitement and obsession grew for the art of bodybuilding. “Taking the body and turning it into a piece of art is one of the most amazing feelings!” “Turning my body from flab to fit in 12 weeks was such an accomplishment! I now know with hard work, commitment and determination, you can complete anything!”

INFLUENCES
The influences that got me to where I am today are reflected from everyone that has entered my life. The biggest being the passion for helping others. I would not be where I am today if this was not a part of my life.

Being a fitness fanatic as a kid and all the way up until now might have something to do with being in the fitness industry. Playing sports with 110% effort really started to apply with the way I thought about my business and to my clients. It is all or nothing with me and once anyone starts, within the first 10 minutes they can really start to see what I mean. After that, the rest is history (really I mean it, getting them to where they always dreamed of being, went down in history!).
I can rightfully say that I was heavily influenced by the people that surrounded me. The support of my family and friends gave me the chance to believe that I could help others change their life in such a dramatic way.

From this point forward, my love and passion for health and fitness will only become greater. This means that the results for my clients only get better! They say doing what you love is one of the best and gratifying feelings ever, and it is safe to say that I am doing just that.

WHY IS HEALTH AND FITNESS SO IMPORTANT?
Health and Fitness is so important to me and to my clients because it is a direct influence on what we feel and think about in our everyday lives. Without taking care of ourselves first, I do not think we can live our lives through its “TRU” potential. Once I have developed a base with my clients through mental and physical strengthening, there direct outlook on life is much brighter. Training to me is a way of life, creating that in others is what I must do in order to fully succeed. That means no rollercoaster dieting or training but a consistent effort at being healthy. Without fitness being a part of my life and my clients, there is no way I would be where I am today.

ADVICE
One solid piece of advice I give to my clients and any aspiring fitness enthusiast would to never ever, ever, ever give up. This simple yet effective quote has given me and my clients the ongoing hope of achieving what others think are impossible. Most people give up after trying a couple times, thinking they do not have what it takes to achieve what it is they are after. Every successful person has fallen a 100 times but got up 101 times. Do “Whatever it takes” to get to where you want to go. The mind is a powerful tool, learn to control it and you will start attaining goals you never thought possible.
