BLACK : THE HEALTH MAGAZINE volume 1 | Page 10

Meet Mr. Bess aka AB, a Virginia State University alumni, that manages two full time jobs both in the office and at the Gym. AB is a certified personal trainer in North Carolina and is also the founder of Fitness 10x(that’s said like 10 times) a slogan he got from a cousin that meant to grind extra hard when doing anything. So,what separated this young man from others? We say its integrity, AB shows clients how to be fit and stay fit by walking the walk. No poker face is needed when dealing with his fitness. He is 100 percent on top of his game and growing. We were able to squeeze some time out of the mellow fitness trainer for a little one on one about health and the black community. Q. So AB what is Fitness 10x? AB: Basically a slogan I started using when I first started to hit the gym hard. I’m getting fit like 10 times. Then it became a campaign to bring awareness to fitness.
