Today we’d like to introduce you to Trevor Barlow.
Trevor, let’s start with your story. We’d love to hear how you got started and how the journey has been so far.
The beginnings of HometeamFit dates back to when I was training full time to make it into the NFL. I was training at the JCC in North Miami and was a regular face there five days a week. Lots of the kids would see me there training alongside the likes of Maurice Jones Drew, Matthew Stafford, Jon Beason, etc etc. Eventually, they started to ask me if I would come watch them play in the youth league flag football games. After a few times I was in attendance, one of the parents asked me if I would work with his son and so I agreed and fit those sessions in between my own training schedule. It wasn’t too long after that until I was getting additional requests from other parents. After playing in a few different professional leagues and trying my hand at Rugby, I transitioned into training both kids and adults full time (as well as co-coordinating the youth league at the JCC) and it has just grown from there into what it is today.
Please tell us about HometeamFit.
HometeamFit specializes in sports development but in more of a holistic approach. I’ve been around sports and training for so long that I’ve seen how one dimensional training is in the majority of situations and how detrimental it is to both personal and athletic development. So really I try to focus on not only the athletic side but also things that encompass complete growth. What are you eating? How is the quality of your sleep? How are you handling rest and recovery? What kind of water are you drinking? How much of our day is spent reflecting on your thoughts and taking the time to calm the mind? These are all fundamental questions that many people (much less athletes) are not considering daily. With athletes, it’s just amplified because of the demands you are putting on my body and mind. With my clients, I try to cover all of this and stress its importance across the board. Really, I am giving them a blueprint on how to live…so I consider myself far more than just a trainer or a coach. Additionally, all of the coaches involved in HometeamFit are former
professional athletes themselves, so you have confidence you are getting information from people experienced at the highest level.
If you had to go back in time and start over, would you have done anything differently?
Nothing. I’m very much a “everything that happens in life happens for a reason” type of guy. Life is all about dynamic adjustments and moving forward.
