Omar Torrez

Omar is a certified personal trainer, fitness nutrition specialist, sports performance specialist, and orthopedic exercise specialist. He also holds a Bachelor of Science in Health and Wellness.  He is from a small town in Oklahoma called Luther, where he started his active lifestyle with sports like basketball, football, and track.  He went to state in track and did a little powerlifting to keep in shape. He also did this for his primary sport, bull riding. Omar rode bulls for fourteen years throughout high school and college and eventually ended it while on active duty in the United States Air Force.  He joined the Air Force for about seven years, and that’s when I realized my enjoyment of helping others with fitness as a physical training leader. 

After transitioning from active duty to the reserves, he decided to pursue his goal of becoming a physical therapist. His wife received orders to Germany shortly after. While in Germany, Omar decided to become a personal trainer. He had a great experience helping others. It made him want to keep improving and learning to be the best at helping others.  Omar is now in Colorado with his wife, dogs, and two kids. He is a stay-at-home dad going to school, so time flexibility was essential to him. He needed a way to leverage his time but still help more people. He decided to join the team at 2BEpic Fitness and Nutrition, LLC as an online coach who builds custom workouts for those who want to work with him. He invites anyone to get on this incredible journey of health and fitness. If you are interested in his programming, you can check him out at https://www.trainerize.me/profile/2bepicfn/Omar.Torrez/ and see his content inside this community.

Value Your Time and They Will Too!
What is a moment of your time worth? Have you ever thought about that? For years, I undervalued myself based on what "others were doing." I wasn't taking into consideration the time I was taking away from family and my own goals in order to help others. When you consider your worth, who or what do you allow to control your thoughts? Do you allow others to take advantage of your time? Do you give freely or grudgingly? Do you give all your goods away? Do you listen more than you talk? How much time do you take to listen? What are your consultations like? Do you have time parameters for them? Setting parameters early on is super important. Let's dive in.
