Hello there! My name is Aaron or A-A-Ron, I am the owner of BLAST Coaching and I'm just a dude who loves the gym and helping others achieve a better version of themselves! My career in the fitness & health industry began in 2015 teaching a few small group exercise classes at a local club (Kosama) and a gym attendant at another facility (FIT). I quickly discovered my passion for helping others reach their goals, which continued to blossom into becoming a certified personal trainer, gym manager, large group fitness coach (NLXF), and doing everything in between. That passion also sparked up a side quest with 2 incredible friends of mine (Matt Gruemmer & Joe Gruemmer) to start a social media venture designed to motivate others to strive towards a path of self improvement in all aspects of life! At the time, we called it BLAST 365! We loved using the word BLAST and how powerful it sounded. We believed that even just saying it could manifest an unyielding force of motivation to push through any challenge or obstacle in the way of your goals in life. The 365 was our way to encourage BLASTING every single day of the year to unlock limitless potential. We don't currently update that BLAST365 Snapchat account but we still strongly believe in the BLAST way of life and it remains present in each of our lives to this day.
After 6 years of playing around in the field of guiding others towards self-improvement in the gym, I recognized that coaching and motivating people was in my blood. While coaching large group classes brought me a tremendous amount of joy, deep down I had this itch to find a way to be more involved and even more impactful on each individual's health and fitness journey. An itch to be an even better coach than I was for clients. This is what led me down the online coaching path! I soon after acquired my Precision Nutrition Level 1 Nutrition Certification and immediately went to work practicing my craft and learning as much as I could through every client experience thereafter. (Shout out to Nick LATHROM @ Vibrant Life for providing me the opportunity to enter into the online coaching world and another shout out to all clients I’ve had the chance to work with and currently work with thus far) Fast forward 2 years and I’ve finally reached the point to officially announce my personal coaching business! Ladies and gentlemen, I bring to you, BLAST Coaching! What started out as a small Snapchat account with a couple of bros has now transformed into an official coaching business! I'm so excited to finally share this with you all!
The BLAST Coaching process aims to meet you at your level whether you are just beginning your health journey or are itching to be on the competitive physique stage. From there we work together as a team to construct your unique roadmap to the summit of your goals both big and small. The BLAST way of life recognizes that everyday is an opportunity for growth and improvement. Through BLAST, failure does not exist, there is only learning and growing. Through BLAST there will be some uncomfortable moments and struggles along the way, and that’s the point! It’s what lies on the other side of those crucial moments where we can unlock a better and stronger version of ourselves and move closer to our goals! Prepare yourself for challenge and be ready to embrace the journey ahead! It's the best part of the climb to your goals! Prepare to BLAST off!
I know I may not have the chance to individually coach everyone but I do want to share BLAST with everyone in some way! I’ll be starting off with a Facebook business page (website in the future??) where I hope its reach can expand and help anyone who may be struggling or unhappy with where they are at in their health, performance, physique, or life. I hope that all travelers of social media that discover BLAST Coaching can find something useful to move them towards a better version of themselves! I want this page to be a place of motivation, inspiration, positivity, high energy, encouragement, and support as we all navigate our own personal journeys!
Lastly, in celebration of my official announcement I am offering FREE 10 minute coaching calls to anyone who is interested in finding out more about BLAST or maybe you have some nutritional/exercise related questions or if you just want to have a chat, I’d love to have a conversation! Send me a text (319-231-8700) or shoot me a DM and we can get something scheduled! Let's go on an Adventure!
Happy BLASTING!
Coach Aaron
