Meet Corey
CEO & FOUNDER OF BETTERYOU.
My journey from being a 15-year-old kid stepping into the gym for the first time to writing this today is a long one. Looking back, it makes me proud, as it didn’t come without its challenges. This is my story of how it all began, an emotional one to say the least, but with that being said, one I am extremely grateful for.
15-year-old Corey that found the gym and fell in love with bodybuilding was a troubled kid. No role models, struggling in school, getting into trouble and no direction in life. I grew up with my beautiful mum and sister - being the only male in my house instilled an innate urge to take on that role, be a provider and look after them. Basically, I had to grow up very fast.
I decided to leave school early and start a carpentry apprenticeship, however my love for bodybuilding and physique development only grew. I was always reading books and articles on different topics and would constantly sneak away from work to draw up training programs - I’d always get in trouble when my boss found me not doing what I was supposed to.
In school, I always dreamt of studying something related to my passion, however for me, it just wasn’t a reality. I had a role to fulfil - and that was to financially provide for my mum and sister. My mum was doing the best she could, but being a single mum isn’t easy, and I wanted to contribute as much as I could. So while studying wasn’t an option, it didn’t stop me from picking the brains of anyone who would let me, reading, watching and listening to anything I could. And every day, my knowledge, passion, and understanding grew.
The gym I own today was the first gym I trained at, it’s where it all started. I was 15 when I began working there, and if I wasn’t working there, I would spend all my free time training there. Training truly brought me happiness.
The transition from a carpenter, to personal trainer and now an online coach was organic. Not that it didn’t take a lot of work, it did. But it happened so naturally for me. This is something that has always brought me a sense of peace, as following my intuition has gotten me to where I am today.
I started training friends at the gym and helped them with their programming. Not for money, but because it was what I loved to do. I would work all day as a carpenter and then go to the gym afterwards and train people for free. I would do this 7 days a week without a second through - after all, it didn’t really feel like work to me. At work, I would listen to podcasts/e-books and in my spare time I would study courses and continue building my knowledge.
At 21, 6 years after I had first stepped foot in the gym, I lost my job as a carpenter (no surprises there). While trying to find another job, I started spending more time at the gym. With my free time I started PT’ing more people, after all, what else was I going to do? Within 2-3 months I was helping around 15 people. I never accepted money at this point as for me, it was something I loved to do. As time went on I started charging $20 for an hour session as I had still not found another job.
Fast-forward another 2 months of training more people and seeing the progress they were making, I was doing enough $20 PT sessions to make what I was making as a carpenter. The decision was made to go all in, and that’s when BetterYOU was born.
And now 4 years later - here we are. While this is only a brief snapshot of my nearly decade long journey, I think it is important to always remember where you come from and why you do what you do.
It started with a 15-year-old kid who instantly developed a passion for bodybuilding and training. That passion not only saved me from going down the wrong path, but it taught me lessons I needed to learn, gave me confidence I required, helped me find growth through the struggle and meet the role models I needed to meet and that would inevitably change my life.
Then It was something I could feel I was doing for me. My escape from reality and the only thing that would bring me happiness.
Now, an opportunity to spread my passion, experience, and knowledge. To be a part of someone else’s life-changing journey.
It’s more than just muscles, pumps, food, aesthetics, feeling good, training.
It isn’t just a job. It’s not just my passion.
It’s who I am and what I owe everything too.
