Daily Inspiration: Meet Derrick Thompson

Today we’d like to introduce you to Derrick Thompson.

Hi Derrick, it’s an honor to have you on the platform. Thanks for taking the time to share your story with us – to start maybe you can share some of your backstory with our readers.
I graduated college and gained a lot of weight. Started going hard in the gym & created a revenue path for myself. By following my kinesiology path I drove myself to lose 120 lbs in 10 months. Since then it’s been a constant flow of fitness clients.

Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
Of course, there were struggles. But I live by a certain phrase that motivated me every day. It’s an acronym truly but it’s very meaningful to me.

Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your work?
A fitness professional with a deep background in kinesiology. Most commonly known as a boxing fitness trainer or a strength and conditioning specialist, more recently I’ve taken on a new journey into stretch therapy too.

What’s next?
Opening my own wellness facility is my main goal for the future. I have a lot in motion right now. Hopefully, have some big things popping up soon can’t speak on it yet though.
