Raised in a small town in Middle Tennessee, Dexter Tenison grew up with the same fitness struggles so many Americans face today. With little knowledge of healthy eating and exercise, Tenison struggled with a vicious weight problem throughout childhood and young adulthood. Until he was able to arm himself with proper fitness knowledge and proven healthy eating techniques he was unable to beat the unsuccessful yo-yo cycle of pop culture quick fixes. Once Tenison learned that the keys to long term health and fitness doexist easily within anybody's reach, he couldn't help but share it with the world. He explains: "It is my passion to help people find their desired destination of becoming more fit and healthy." Tenison aims to unlock the secrets of health and fitness not just for the people who look good with their shirts off but for those who never believed it possible. His time tested program boast 100% success! While growing up, healthy eating was not a topic of conversation in the Tenison household. Tenison's childhood was characterized by overeating and inactivity. Like many children, he plopped down in front of the TV after school instead of heading outside for physical activity. A typical day consisted of no breakfast and something like Hamburger Helper or fast food for dinner. Cake and ice cream was a common treat. "We had no knowledge of healthy eating," explains Tenison. Even as a young adult, Tenison continued his habit of inactivity. He didn't eat enough on a consistent basis and when he did eat, he splurged. "I didn't take time to exercise," he admits. "I didn't like the way I looked and I felt," confesses Tenison of his young adulthood. After admitting these unhappy emotions, he first made the important choice to consistently exercise. "I vaguely knew that weight loss had to be a combination of both diet and exercise" he recalls of his first attempts at a healthy lifestyle. However, like numerous American's, Tenison was drawn into unhealthy fad diets. "The diet industry is the one industry in America where they fail and you blame yourself instead of the program," he points out. Like the majority of fad dieters, Tenison lost and gained weight in an unsuccessful cycle. A year in China exposed Tension to more long term ideas of health and fitness. He began working out and socializing with the patrons of Gold's Gym where Tenison learned the importance of moderation and consistency. "It was a time of getting back to me, getting back to mental and physical health and being able to balance that with the world," muses Tenison. He started to see his first signs of success on the scale as he dropped weight. However, he still lacked the education for long term control. Returning to the United States, Tenison slipped back into some old habits. Going through a stressful time in his life, Tenison grabbed on to the survival techniques he knew best. He pampered himself with food and reverted back to the old habit of inactivity. "I had a hard time readjusting to the American lifestyle and backslid," explains Tenison. "American's have a lot of factors against us and we have to take the initiative to learn for ourselves." Tenison finally reached a breaking point and began working with a fitness trainer. He learned the healthy eating techniques that he teaches his clients today and began to lead the life he wanted to live. "It's not what we do some of the time, it's what's we do all of the time," preaches Tenison. As someone who constantly strives to grow and learn, Tenison sought out his fitness trainer certification and began working at a gym. He discovered many unethical flaws in the fitness industry that worked against the clients instead of for them. Seeking to find a program that set the highest ethical and educational standards in the industry, Tenison discovered Phil Kaplan's Be Better project. "It's one of the best things I've ever done for my business and my clients," says Tenison. Living by the rule "Be Better", Tenison practices what he preaches. "The goal is not to be perfect it's just consistent improvement. Be better." With this goal Tenison began his Master's degree in Sports and Fitness with an emphasis in Personal Training. Through his knowledge, personal trial and error and deep rooted passion to help others, Tenison has developed a program with an unequaled 100% success rate! "Every one of my clients receives noticeable results," smiles Tenison. Working with many people who are not comfortable going to a gym where others might judge them or are unsure of their own abilities, he has helped transform his clients into the people they want to be. Humble about his success, Tenison takes joy in seeing his clients triumph. He has helped people reduce medications, reverse diabetes and overcome cancer as well as lose weight and gain strength. "People tell me I have changed their lives and I'm in awe of that," says Tenison.
