I’m not just talking about being confident in your birthday suit. I’m talking about a-healthy-and-strong attitude—in your clothes or out!
Or an I-can-climb-two-more-flights-of-stairs type of feel-good!
If you answered no—you’re not alone!
Body confidence isn’t just a problem for those who struggle with being overweight. Even skinny and just-right-sized people are plagued with insecurities about their body. They don’t feel good in their clothes. They don’t feel good in their skin.
Others avoid anything that gets them out of breath (stairs, for example), and they believe that genetically, they just don’t have the genes to lose weight and get fit.
Or, they believe that getting out of breath comes with age. And since they’re not overweight, they’re doing just fine.
And still, others believe that being at risk for high blood pressure and high cholesterol is just part of the mix—age, genetics, destiny!
A lot of this is a result of negative thinking—excuses, insecurities and outright lies—ingrained by something, yourself, your parents, your friends, mixed messages…
But some of these mind-body issues are the results of little to no physical activity!
In a Kent State study on body image, the results showed that all participants experienced less body image dissatisfaction by exercising three times a week, minimally.
It’s amazing at how staying active affects mentality!
And did you know that I’ve met many active 60-something men and women who have more life and vitality than most men and women in their 20s!
In fact, do you remember what it was like to be 6 years old and you thought you ran as fast as lightening?
With the wind in your face and the ground propelling you forward, you felt as if you could take off, straight to the moon!
At 6 anything is possible, right?
You don’t have to be 6 to feel that good again.
You don’t have to be 6 to have hope again. Or to enjoy life again!
Stop dragging your body around. It’s one of life’s most amazing machines, and it’s your tool to live a more purposeful life. Make it move and feel the energy creeping back into your life. Feel playful again.
Take action. Make fitness fit!
My name is Boualem Aggoune, owner of West Michigan-based Personal Trainer 4 You and working as a certified personal trainer and group fitness instructor—on my own and for top-of-the-line athletic clubs in or near Muskegon, Grand Haven and Spring Lake.
It’s more than just a job. I love fitness. And I love watching fitness change people’s lives. And it does—it really does!
"Nearly two years after having my son I still had an extra 20lbs of baby weight to lose. When I started working out with Boualem in February I weighed over 150 lbs, for someone 5"3" that's a bit much. By May I was down to 134lbs and had gone from a size 10/12 to a size 6. He was very encouraging, especially when I got tired and didn't want to work out. He kept telling me he knew I could reach my goal, and I did. He gets so excited about what he does that it's contagious. I actually looked forward to working out. I was happier and more motivated than I had been in a long time. My husband not only noticed a difference in my appearance, but my attitude as well. Actually a lot of people noticed. Boualem gave me practical advice that I continue to use. He also helped me to use things I had in my home to help me continue working out on my own. It was one of the best experiences of my life." - Cecily B.

Did you know that that you are not limited by your genetic disposition?
Who cares what your parents, siblings and cousins look(ed) like? You’re not them!
Sure it’s good to know your medical history. But you have the ability to get fit just like anyone, including those famous athletes or celebrities you admire.
By the way, the most successful athlete pairs a small percentage of natural skill with tons of hard work, practice and desire.
You can change your destiny.
So, what’s you’re fitness fix?
Whether you’re looking to lose weight, train competitively or feel better in your skin, I know what it takes.
I haven’t been practicing just as a personal trainer. I’ve lived fitness for more than 20 years. I have experience in various martial arts training, including MMA, futbol (soccer), handball (another European thing), weight lifting, sprinting, navy training, flexibility and getting my body to function just the way I like it. Why? Because I love it!
For me, fitness truly is a lifestyle. It goes beyond the textbook and the recertification exams… I know real-life fitness.
But you don’t have to take my word…
"I have been training with Boualem now for 8 months, and he has made an incredible difference in my training. Boualem takes you to your limits then makes you go even further than you thought you could go. Thanks to Boualem I’m in the best shape I have been in since I began working out 15 years ago. " - Fred L.
I can help you too.
Or--you could do it on your own...
It is possible to get in shape without your trainer. There are all kinds of tools available—DVDs, workout plans and audio programs… Maybe you’ve tried that? Many find it overwhelming… Or they just don’t have the discipline. At least, not yet!
TOGETHER--you and me as a team--your chances of success skyrockets! 1-on1 personal training or fitness class… It doesn’t matter.
That’s the value of personal fitness instruction—in a private session or a group session. You get accountability, positive peer pressure in group settings, professional advice from a certified expert, and when you’re lacking in motivation—you get that too.
In fact, it’s my mission not just to change your body. I want to change your mind. I want to accelerate positive change, both physically and mentally.
Feel free to feel good again.
Are you ready yet?
Whatever it is that you want, we can make that change. I can help you reach your fitness goals faster than doing it alone. My no-nonsense techniques are efficient and challenging, and you’ll feel successful from the start.
“It’s never too late to be who you might have been.” – George Eliot, English novelist
