Today we’d like to introduce you to Carl Dorismond.
Carl, let’s start with your story. We’d love to hear how you got started and how the journey has been so far.
My fitness journey began right before high school, I was always impressed by those with athletic abilities, muscle and influence. I’m not embarrassed to say my “why” at first was extremely vain. I wanted to get in shape to impress girls and my peers. Around age 13, I was obese, regularly bullied and had a crappy outlook on life. Around this time, I battled bulimia and low self-esteem. Despite these traumas, I’ve always had the full support of my family. Looking back now I realize, they kept my spirit alive. My parents always provided a strong, loving, nonjudgmental environment for me to grow. To say I am grateful for then would be an understatement. There used to be times I’d sit and think about my journey and things I could have done differently… Nowadays, I snap out of reminiscing faster than a speeding bullet. Currently, I am at the point where my gratitude for family, mentors, friends and experiences (now and to come) are in alignment. My current “why” is to continue studying my craft while develop new skills. To make memorable experiences and help others become stronger, smarter, healthier and overall more satisfied humans beings on paths to fulfilling their potentials.
Great, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
A younger Carl would tell you the journey wasn’t smooth. Current Carl is full of spirit and welcomes challenges. Through discomfort, beauty and growth present themselves.
Please tell us about DmonFit.
DmonFit is my fitness brand. My older brother (Chris) brought the name to my attention and I immediately ran with it. I specialize in transforming bodies and minds, plus more. When people say personal trainers are also therapists (in a way) this is true! I have helped countless clients and friends understand their strengths and weaknesses, but more importantly themselves. As a company, I am proud of the connections I have made, as well as the impact people tell me I have made in their lives. I believe what sets me apart is my transparency when expressing my experiences, my willingness to show vulnerability as well as being a skilled fitness trainer. Some people say I am a motivational life coach but I won’t give myself that title (yet).
Do you look back particularly fondly on any memories from childhood?
My favorite childhood memory was traveling to Haiti every summer. My grandparents would look after me, they love me very much despite me giving them hell. It was then that I discovered my love for exploring. I would chase chickens, feed dogs, spend time with locals and learned how to be resourceful.
