About the Dork Behind AFS

Ahh yes, the about page, the page where I tell you about my my inception into the fitness industry. This is also where my online dating matches are likely stalking me, so there’s that too.

Anyhow, my name is Calvin and I started working out and studying nutrition at an early age, but this stuff was confusing. I didn’t know what I was doing and everything I found online was filled with bs and contradictions.

So at an early age, I became a coach and writer to discover the truth of all this fitness and nutrition stuff.

Fast forward some time later and I’ve accumulated the following bullet points if it
means anything to you:

  • I’ve trained and coached hundreds of people in person and online across 6 continents.
  • I've worked with a wide range of clients such as busy CEOs, best-selling authors, stay at home moms, and hardcore lifters.
  • I've have a Masters Degree in Nutrition Science, have the certifications, and spoken at events.
  • I’ve worked for over 6 different gyms and 4 coaching businesses.
  • I’ve written articles for major fitness publications, well-respected industry leaders, top clothing brands, and popular research reviews.

As far as my website, I started AwesomeFitnessScience.com back in 2016 as a breeding ground for my best work in order to give people a one stop shop for everything they need to lift like a beast, have thriving health, and look good naked. So while I write for other sites, this is where I write my best articles that get updated as new research comes out.

As far as writing goes, I speak my mind, make way too many sarcastic jokes, and am not afraid to step on a few feelings to deliver the truth. All of my articles are also scientifically referenced if you’re into fact checking.

But above all, I like to have a lot of fun and be unfiltered when I write, so if I’m not your cup of tea, no worries. You can go follow the rest of the boring schmucks in this industry.

Beyond being a meathead and writing articles, here’s more about me.

  • My favorite hobby is social dancing. Lindy Hop (swing), Bachata, Rumba, Cha Cha, Foxtrot, and other dances are my jam.
  • I enjoy watching MMA. It’s my favorite sport to watch. Other sports are boring.
  • I like to surf. I'm ok at it. Just being outdoors and in water makes me happy.
  • I enjoy reading The Bible, psychology books, and fantasy fiction. In fact, Jesus and Harry Potter are some of my favorite peeps.
  • I love traveling, eating, and cooking. Experiencing different cuisines never gets old.
