About Les Sparks

Hello my name is Les Sparks and I thank you for visiting my web site. Please let me tell you a little bit about myself. I began my workout career as a junior in high school because I wanted to gain strength and size for football. I gained about 12lbs of muscle and had a great senior year, but more than anything else, I became infatuated with working out and the benefit it was providing my body. It was at this formative age that I dedicated myself to learn all I could about exercise and nutrition.

So in my early 20's I began competing in bodybuilding. It was during this period of my life I received the practical knowledge of what it takes to get into top physical shape. I learned a lot about exercise and gained a very crude knowledge of nutrition. I realized to get to an education level I wanted to be at, it would call for a formal education.

So off to college I went where I received the experience of being a collegiate strength and conditioning coach, and a dual bachelors degree in Human Nutrition and Fitness (Exercise Physiology).

Since graduating from college I have been certified as a personal trainer form American College of Sports Medicine (A.C.S.M.) and American Counsel on Exercise (A.C.E.) and as a Nutritionist I am a Genetic Key Certified Coach (G.K.C.C.)

Well there you have it, I am done right? I have the practical experience of body building and successfully competed for many years. I have the formal accredited education in Human Nutrition and Fitness and I have been certified as a personal trainer from two programs and am certified as a nutrition coach.

From my perspective the exercise part of the equation in fitness and health is primarily a matter of just doing it. It is my job to assure you exercising in a safe and effective manner to get the results you are seeking. However the nutritional side of the equation is where most people "fail". Not from a lack of trying, or willpower, but because society, and in particular the media, have really fed us a diet of propaganda. I know of no other industry that has more censorship than that of the health care industry, but that is a story left for my seminars. As a nutritionist, I will help you identify your genetic type, counsel you on the food choices you need make to assure your success not only in weight loss, but also to improve your overall health.
