Azrieal is a personal trainer and professional wrestler who recently stepped up to help Phil beat some very long odds.
“It helped a lot that Phil was a wrestler as a kid,” Azrieal explains. “It also was fortunate that he’s athletic, because that really put him a step ahead.”
“I have people coming to me for training who are not athletic at all, but have this notion about becoming a wrestler. They may have seen it on TV and thought they’d try it, but have never done any serious physical things like this. That’s a big challenge,” says Azrieal. “They find out that it’s far harder than they imagined.”
“I’ve been a personal trainer for almost twenty years,” explains Azrieal. “I have private clients and run boot camp lessons in a few locations around Jersey City. I’ll come to your gym and work with you - maybe torture you a bit to push you on to be better than you thought you could be the next time. I help them push past what they think their best might be.”
Azrieal isn’t looking to make people into bodybuilders. His boot camps tend to concentrate on stability training, core training, strength conditioning - and utmost of his participants are women. So it’s not about lifting heavy weights and bulking up. (Although Azrieal is quick to mention that as we age, lifting heavier weights is beneficial as your bones start to thin. The extra weight helps to keep them firm and thick.)
If you’re looking to get into better shape, Azrieal can get you there. If you’re dreaming beyond that - into the professional wrestling ring - he’s the man for that job as well.
