My name is Charlie Meister and I was born and raised in Zurich, Switzerland but now live in Calgary, Canada. I am currently 24 years old and have been working out since 2012.
Growing up, I was extremely shy and had very little self confidence. I played a lotof soccer and was always tall so naturally I was a very lanky kid.
I started working out when I was about 140lbs and hated being that super tall skinny kid in high school. I couldn’t live with myself like this, so I decided I needed to change. Being so skinny most of my life growing up, led to feeling weak and inferior to my peers. I literally felt like a skeleton. It was my biggest insecurity at the time.
Fitness for me has helped me not only build the physique I’ve always wanted, but to gain confidence in myself and have a positive body image. Because I struggled with feeling weak for so long, I needed something that could help me change my body and more importantly upgrade my mindset.
I was so lost at first, following any program I could find on bodybuilding.com or following workouts from people I looked up to. Although some of it felt like it worked, I didn’t really start making serious changes until I began to learn more about training and nutrition and why many things worked and didn’t work. I started taking guidance from people that were absolutely killing it at the time. The more I learned about how to build muscle, the easier and clearer it became for me to apply it in the gym. It quickly became such a gratifying feeling when a client would tell me how much stronger or how much more confident they felt about themselves, which motivates me everyday to help others completely change their lives and feel amazing about themselves through fitness.
Through my 8 years of experience with training and nutrition on not only myself, but others, along side my passion for fitness, I created my online coaching program. My vision is to help you achieve your fitness goals while educating you on the fundamentals of training and nutrition so that you have complete control over your body.
