At the start of 2022, I will be leaving Lifetime and going back into business for myself full time. That was the main reason I made the decision put my business on hold. I have been here for roughly 6 months and my knowledge on the industry has gone through the roof. I accepted a job at Lifetime Athletic in Mansfield during the Summer of 2021. I hit the ground running with my business, but after a while, I decided that I wanted to work for a corporate gym to see how I could thrive there. Shortly after that, I decided to go into business for myself and this is when Trained 2 The T came to life.

I studied for 6 months while being in graduate school at the University of North Texas and passed my exam on the FIRST try. Once I got furloughed from my job during the start of COVID in 2020, I started studying for my certification to become a personal trainer. I was not yet comfortable with any of those tasks because I felt like I did not know enough and I did not have any credentials to back it up. People always asked me if I could assist them in working out, create them a program to follow, or even be their trainer. This is where I figured out, I wanted to be a personal trainer. Being in that environment, I was able to observe, learn, and pick everyone’s brain about fitness.

I was working as a front desk attendant but I got to take the workout classes for free and shadow all of the personal trainers who worked there. I ended up getting a job at a sports training called D1 Dallas. I saw how my body changed and noticed the growth in myself physically and mentally. I honestly had no idea what I was doing but I just knew the consistency would get me somewhere if I kept going. I started working out 5 times a week doing 2 lower body days, 2 upper body days, and a core day. During the summer of 2019, I really locked in and told myself I would change my body in the next 30 days. I was always an athlete throughout grade school, but when I got to college, I had to figure out a way to stay active without being engulfed in basketball 24/7. During my last year obtaining my undergraduate degree at Texas State University, I really got into fitness also. I am confident in my abilities and know what I am capable of. My podcast is still on the rise I feel and I know there are more good things to come. I have had times where I was unmotivated to record an episode because I was mentally fatigued because you know, life. I have had times where I wanted to hang it all up and quit. On the second hand, there have been some hardships with Talk To Me Tyler T just like there are with anything else. I am HEAVY on the gratitude because without my listeners my podcast would literally be nothing.

Listeners from all over the nation have reached out to me via Twitter and Instagram showing how much they enjoy my episodes and the content I am creating. It is crazy to think about how I have already celebrated 4 years of my podcast. Talk To Me Tyler T has brought me so much joy because knowing that I am impacting my listeners means the world to me. I went from inviting people over to sit in my bathroom to record shows twice a week to having my podcast on all streaming platforms, interviewing local talents such as rappers, young entrepreneurs, creatives, and much more. With the help of some of my good friends Katoria, Soloman, and Sweet James, I made it happen. Wanting something of my own with no one else’s name attached to it, I decided to just go for it. All I had was an iPhone 7, some great conversation, and a Soundcloud account. I had no experience at all with podcasting, no equipment, or anything. Starting out in my college apartment at Texas State University in 2017, I decided to start my podcast Talk To Me Tyler T. Hi Tyler, so excited to have you with us today. Today we’d like to introduce you to Tyler Townes.
