Hey Health and Fitness lovers! Thanks for visiting my Blog. My name is Derrick Branco, and I am a Personal Trainer and self proclaimed Health & Fitness guru.
My journey began when I was 18 years old - 11 years ago. I was an overweight child, and teenager. Generally eating my way through each day, and not taking up too much physical activity. One day when I had just turned 18, I decide to accompany my Mother to the gym. The Downtown Workout, the club was called. In an old limestone building in Kingston Ontario...This club was a new shining beacon of the life I knew I wanted to have.
Muscular, lean, fit, tanned, and attractive people only seemed to frequent this club, so being a fat awkward kid I felt really out of place. But I didn't let that stop me! I persevered, and lost 50 pounds of fat! I paid for my first personal trainer that year. Kayla was her name. She was so motivating, and inspirational. I wanted to to better, and look better so she and all the other club members would approve of me being there. My journey took 6 months. But by the time summer hit, I was at my ideal weight 160 pounds. At this point I knew that this would be my life, and I would love it.
Ever since then I have had a very strong interest in the fitness industry. Learning as much as I could from whoever I could. Other fitness junkies, workout buddies, personal trainers, fitness magazines, health & nutrition articles, anywhere I could find them. I will continue to learn as much as I can about the health and fitness world, and relay my education to you - my followers - in hopes that you will live your life to the fullest, and healthiest you can.
The name BroncoFit quite literally came from my last name 'Branco'. I just dropped the 'a, and added an 'o'. It also resonates with the strong and powerful Bronco Horse, or "Bucking Bronco". You must have watched a Cowboy at a Rodeo before, and seen how much power and strength these horses deliver...They are a mighty creature that cannot be tamed.
I urge you to be the best "Bronco" you can be. Strong, Powerful, Healthy, Untamed, and NEVER give up!
