About the Trainer
Growing up as an extreme introvert who played a lot of video games and was overweight, Raffy knew he had to make a change. Through Raffy’s journey of losing 50lbs, he knows firsthand the common struggles of improving your health and fitness. Along with his interest in sport, the physical and psychological benefits of his personal transformation inspired Raffy to become a personal trainer so he, too, can help others realize the benefits.

When Raffy is not at the gym, you can find him building and programming computers, for fun!
