I am currently planning a trip with TOdd Skorich to walk across the United States. We will be leaving the first of September, 2010. Along the journey we are raising money to fund a start up program to help fight childhood Obesity. Tap in and stay in touch.
My name is Patrick Hitches and I am a:
- Bodybuilder
- Personal Trainer
- Diet and Lifestyle Coach
- Collegiate Level – Strength & Conditioning Coach
- Graduate of Nutrition Science & Exercise Physiology
As the years pass by, I constantly mature along this journey of unending dreams and aspirations to a “successful” life. At times, the path seems crystal clear with a continuous drive to live life to its full potential. Other moments, it’s as though the forces of life are not in my favor and the stress seems overbearing and unmanageable. Although the rollercoaster of the human condition can be challenging, my dream remains prominent. It’s the goal of a balanced life style for all around me; a livelihood unlike the standard approach to living. My goals entail a future with a particular daily way of existence that incorporates play and work. I remain confident and patient, as I come closer to that goal everyday with every person I help.
Growing up as a sixth grader on the west side of Cincinnati, I dealt with an overweight, unattractive physique. The daily struggles I encountered with my classmates and neighborhood friends was one of the influential factors in my decision to invest in my health and wellbeing that would ultimately improve my self esteem, health, and appearance. This beginning affected my life in a way, that at the time, I never imagined. I became a fitness and dieting expert as I reaped the benefits of my research and observed the success of many others who I have assisted. With health and fitness as some of my highest priorities of daily life, I’ve developed a lifestyle around this love and passion for what I consider the best way to get the most out of life.
My experiences with fitness grew from a few weights in the basement and evening runs, to a strict nutrition and weight training regimen that I follow 24/7. Through the phases of my fitness experiences, I’ve always dreamed of owning and managing my own fitness facility. The dream has been twisted and made many turns as I began to realize the importance of nutrition in the development of one’s “ideal” body. This transitional phase began as knowledge of the field engulfed my mind with endless readings and application of nutrition in my daily routine. Nutrition has become my main focus and tool in accomplishing all my fitness goals and dreams.
I am a bit of an idealist, but a motivated one at that. I understand what lies beneath the surface of those seeking to change, but can’t get motivated. I have a dream to change the lives of all around me. This dream will be met one body at a time as I meet and help the many individuals that choose to change.
”Success begins with accepting reality… and completes with changing it.”
Live, Love, and Thrive with Purpose…
