Sam N. Hawkins Actor, Celebrity Trainer, Online Entrepreneur. Paying It Forward helping others get healthy and fit while pursuing his passion of acting. However Sam's passion for fitness began with the old-fashioned saying of “I was a fat teenager, uncomfortable in my own body”. He adds, “While auditioning for a independent film about cancer the casting director praised his talent but condemned his weight. Adolescence was hard for Sam; He ended up going into a three-year depression. During these hard times Sam received a wake-up call and felt he had to do something”.
Since Sam couldn't afford to join a gym, he decided the only way to accomplish weight loss goals is to be within. Right away he got a front desk job a top fitness facility and studied as much as he could about fitness and personal training. Sam's desire to learn as much as he could about the fitness industry proved to be fruitful. His background in basic martial arts/self defense helped him become disciplined and focused.
