Today we’d like to introduce you to Justin Perkins.
Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?
This all started as I was young. Coming from the area I grew up in, I used sports as an outlet to stay out of trouble and over time the gym became my home and comfort. I started really working out and getting deeper into the gym a few years ago when I started learning how the body reacted to being shocked I’ve also been training others for a few years now but this past year of 2020, it really took off and became an image. Lion Den Training is more than just training it’s a family and without the help and support of the ones surrounding me, it would not have been as big as it is now.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
No, it hasn’t since I am military, it’s often stressful to figure out a balance at first. Also being a Black male in the military, I had to work and push harder to get where I am.
Training it’s defiantly not easy and running the company as a whole it hasn’t been easy because not only do I train but I want this to be bigger than just that I want to change life no only fitness but health and mentally.
Having a set client base may have been the most challenging itself because not everyone is open for help.
We’ve been impressed with Lion Den Training, but for folks who might not be as familiar, what can you share with them about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
I am a Fitness Coach and Lion Den Training is the name of the business. The things I am known for is helping lose weight and getting your ideal body as well as gaining the proper weight and body size that a client would. What sets me apart from others is I hold everyone accountable once you step into the Den “Why” because I want to push you to change your life and mind not only fitness but I want you to break habits if it’s smoking I want to challenge you to stop if it’s drinking I want to challenge to kick that even if it’s your mind, I want to change the way you approach things this is a family who would want to see their family hurt themselves. My proud moment was the Day My son Put on his first Lion Den Training Shirt on and said “I want to wear this everyday”.
I offer training, clothes, teaching, and diet plans.
