Testimonial from Jason Moriarty, Founder Rebel Bootcamp

First off I have been looking at suspension training for a while and checked all the other products on the market. I finally decided on the Rip 60 as it gave greater versatility in the exercise we could perform and in particular the rotational element really is the only one to help serious athletes as well as those wanting to get greater development of the core.

At Rebel I insist all trainers are certified by an internationally recognized body such as American Council on Exercise (ACE), although a lot of trainers are of the opinion that suspended training is simple I prefer to have my trainers certified in whatever we teach. We even brought our lead trainers from Singapore down.

The programme ran by Fit was very professional allowing the experienced trainers to review some skills they may have been neglecting and gave those with newer certification a chance to see the theory in action.

I really liked that once we had all the basics covered and Jeremy the master trainer was happy he gave us a stack of ideas for application in Rebel.

One of the issues with boot camps can be the intensity, its hard core or nothing a great benefit of the FIT training was the exercise modifications allowing Rebel instructors to cater for all levels from beginners to the seriously advanced.

What is CSCS?

Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialists (CSCSs) are professionals who apply scientific knowledge to train athletes for the primary goal of improving athletic performance. They conduct sport-specific testing sessions, design and implement safe and effective strength training and conditioning programs and provide guidance regarding nutrition and injury prevention. Recognizing that their area of expertise is separate and distinct, CSCSs consult with and refer athletes to other professionals when appropriate.

It is rare we get an American in the class. But this time, we have Mamou. A help he lent his uncle to move, has resulted his encounter with a very special book which changed his life forever. Read on to find out what book is that.

Standing at about 6 feet tall and looking like a mobile human anatomy encyclopedia, Mamou shares his story…

1.Where are you from?

New Rochelle, New York.. I’ve been in KL for almost 6 years, and I’m currently taking my American Council on Exercise (ACE) certification at FiT Malaysia!

2.Why did you decide to take the personal trainer course at FiT?

Well, I’ve always enjoyed sports, and exercise. Just like any other normal teenage guy, I always wanted to be the fastest, strongest, smartest one in the group. I have two huge muscular uncles and when one of them was moving, my grandfather and I helped him pack his things. I was about 13 at this time. While digging through his bodybuilder magazines, I found a book by Arnold Schwarzenegger. I’m not sure what the name was, I think it was “The Diary of a Bodybuilder”, or something like that.

The Book That Has Changed Him

We bet Mamou was too young to remember the name of this book

I read that book over and over and used the old cheap set of dumbbells my grandparents had in their basement to the best of my abilities. I couldn’t move my arms for about a week after that haha.

Ever since then I had been trying to improve my body in whatever way possible. Strength, Speed, Endurance, Power, Agility, and so on.. I tried every sport I could think of, and felt at home with each one. After I moved to Malaysia, and finished High School, I had trouble deciding what I wanted to do with my life. All of my friends were going to college and studying things like business, law, accounting, economics, and all of those other boring subjects, but I knew it wasn’t for me..I wanted to keep moving!

Long story short, I found out about FiT Malaysia thanks to our good ol’ friend Google, and called them up as soon as I could. After hearing Kim’s beautiful voice, I was hooked, and I’m glad I joined! Surely one of the best decisions I’ve made in my life!

3. How’s the learning going? Share your experiences?

The teachers are AMAZING to say the least! All of the classes are fun and entertaining! Most importantly I’ve learned so much..

Mamou in class

4. Why do you think it is better to go through formal learning at FiT rather than self-studying?

I cant really trust myself to sit down and study seriously haha. I prefer to learn with other people anyway, I like to meet new people, and work in a group so that everyone can help each other. Being a trainer it’s important to know how to deal with different types of people and studying alone doesn’t really help at all. By going to class I can learn more from the teacher and ask questions if necessary. There are loads of reasons why I think studying in a class is better than alone at home..

5.What top 3 qualities you think a personal trainer should possess?

5.Hmmm that’s a hard one. There are loads of qualities I think a PT should have, I couldn’t put them in order, but here or three I think would be on the top for sure..

i- Experience.. Practice what you preach! No one is gonna want advice on how to get abs from someone with a huge belly! You cant really recommend something you haven’t done yourself, and the more experience you get them more you learn.

ii- Knowledge.. A PT should know for sure for sure what’s best for his/her client, and why..For safety reasons as well..

iii- A certification! I never payed much mind to it before, but now it is extremely important in my mind. Not only so that the client feels like safe and in good hands, but also so that the trainer has something to fall back on, security, and to be able to say “I’m a Certified Personal Trainer” Sounds nice doesn’t it?

6.What are you going to do when you graduate?

Work my Glutes off

7. What’s your fitness goal?

To be as Fit as I can be!

8. What’s your fitness programme like?

VERY mixed up.. I always do a bit of everything!

9.Can you share your typical weekly workout?

Mamou Bench Pressing

I go to the gym in the mornings about 4 times a week for resistance training and try to hit about two muscle groups each time.. Normally during the afternoons I’m doing some type of cardio.. Boxing, Karate, Boot Camp, or Jogging.. But on Wednesdays, I sleep

10..What word of advice would you provide others who are thinking of becoming a personal trainer?

If you love Fitness, then do it!
