All About Me
My Name is Jomar Farquharson and some of you may know may story as well as most of you may not. I wasn’t always into living a healthier and active lifestyle and improving my quality of living through fitness and nutrition; In fact, I recently got into making a change during January 2013. I lived most of my younger years as an overweight child and spent most of my adulthood in a similar manner. For many days, I was very unpleased with the way I looked and how I felt. I felt like I was trapped within a prison within my own body. I felt depressed at many times however I was able to hide it very well. Doing everyday daily tasks seem to become difficult as time went on; shortness of breathe was normal for me and my stamina and endurance were very poor. Not to mention that that I had a very difficult time locating clothing in my size that I would like within various stores. These things always bothered me and from this I confided within a few friends back in late 2012. They made me feel like I could make a change by being there for me and helping me start my journey to becoming a better me. They took me running and also helped me to learn more about eating better. January 2013 rolled around and I decided to join a local gym, Body Zone. I wasn’t too sure what I would do in there but I knew my goals were possible. There were individuals there with physiques that I would have liked to mirror and they all had a starting point so it must be possible. I decided to gather as much info as I can about training and nutrition, reading several books, articles, subscribing to websites and blogs and also following personal trainers and fitness enthusiasts online and duplicating their habits. I found success earlier on and dropped 21 lbs within my first 3 months of training.
No journey has a straight road to success and neither was my own. I hit several plataues along the way however, I was dedicated to doing what is necessary and spending the time needed to figure things out. I researched and implemented different strategies and this led to me breaking barriers and excelling forward. In late 2016 my passion led me to compete within my first ever bodybuilding competition. It was by far one of the most grueling experiences that I have ever done, however I learned, grew and evolved from it. I placed third within this event and It made my passion grow stronger. Since then I have competed in 3 more competitions and experienced similar success. My overall journey has taught me that the mind is the most powerful muscle that we have and once we learn to tap into this power, all things are possible! My journey has proven to me that all training starts within the mind! Training the mind transforms the body!
In January 2018, I became certified by the National Academy of Sports Medicine as a Certified Personal Trainer and decided to pursue my passion as my profession. My overall aim is to impact the lives of others through fitness and nutrition and improve their quality of life similar to my own. I have improved all other areas of my life through harnessing the power of my mind and applying it. Being consistent, dedicated and disciplined has allowed me to experience higher heights and I would like to pass on this gift and impact other through fitness and nutrition. As I learn more during my ever evolving journey through life, I strive on impacting others, passing on mental gifts and helping to develop the best possible “You” that the world has ever seen…..
