In the midst of some trying times, I started coming to this place, which has served as a happy place for me, allowing me to perfect my craft with the likes of men that are on the same mission as I am. Derrick and I connected as a result of the work he did with Chad Jones following his horrific car accident. Since the closing of 2012 and the beginning of 2013, I have been apart of what I like to think is something special at Final Fitness. Many have questioned me about what it is that I do to stay in such great shape and I owe it all to Derrick Joseph, Carter Stamm and the rest of the Stamm family. The Stamm family has become somewhat of an extended family of mines, welcoming me with open arms each and every time I come through the doors. There's a lot of great people that keep the pillars of this place intact over time, ranging from Derrick's little son, Rocko to the old Mr. Joe who loves giving links to weightlifters of the past. Words don't express my gratitude for what this place has allowed me to do in my young career as a professional athlete. I know that the people within have my best interests at heart, without a doubt. I know that fitness gyms within the confines of New Orleans can often get overcrowded and a bit trendy, but this is perfect distance right outside the city limits, which makes transport easy to handle. If you are looking to kickoff your 2017 on a high note, I highly suggest joining the Final Fitness family. I have seen Derrick do some tremendous things to help other reach their fitness goals...this could be you, but you're playing around at Planet Fitness, ha! Get onboard and I guarantee that you'll enjoy the journey and the benefits that come with. Wishing you well as your fitness journey continues! read more
