PETE HOFFMAN
My name is Pete Hoffman. Pete, Petey or pdpete will do just fine. I’m honest to a fault and sometimes forget that people don’t want my opinion. I was gifted Gab… I can run my mouth better than most and I consider it my greatest gift… as well as my biggest hindrance in life. I’ve been happy, sad, angry and mad. I’ve been more financially stable and more broke then most at different points in my life. I’ve been so depressed that not even my family wanted to be around me and I’ve been so Happy that unhappy people couldn’t stand the look in my eye! I moved and started over more times than I care to count and I’ve experienced many great things in many great parts of America. Through it all I’ve realized that I prefer Happiness, Fun, Smiling, Laughing and Family to the alternative. However, I do realize that the other option exists and I do realize how easy of a hole it is to fall into…
So yeah… I moved around a lot, I had to start over in a few different places and I had to learn what people were about in those new places. Good times if you smile and be yourself… Not so much if you bury yourself inside and forget to go out and be happy. I moved from Torrance Ca, to Canyon Lake Ca, to Corona Ca all before the 5th grade. I was moved to Chicago when I was fourteen(ish) to start High school in a new part of the world and I lost daily contact with the majority of my immediate family. A year later I was moved to Northwest Indiana, rather than start over again, I commuted. After years of great times and great friends and A LOT of driving, I risked the lives of two close friends of mine messing around and getting us into a car accident. I moved to LA shortly after thinking that southern California was home and soon found that running away wasn’t the answer. I was depressed and found it a very difficult hole to climb out of. It took me almost five years to start acting like myself again. I left LA and moved to Las Vegas in the pursuit of Happiness. Some good friends from Chicago were living there and offered me a room, it sounded like a good time! I absolutely loved it!! I worked in the nightclubs and at a topless pool as a security section host… “Give them what they want the way they want it!” I had a blast, was always smiling, made some great friends Ill have for the rest of my life; and I found myself again! After two years, a little hearing loss and a whole lot of wild, crazy and cool stories that can never be talked about 
my nephew asked me to move to Sacramento because he needed a friend. So I packed up shop and moved to Sacramento! I find that I love it here. My family is here and I realize that home is where the heart is. Everything I enjoy doing can be done within an hour and a half drive and most things I can do much closer than that. The beach, the mountains, the river, the city, the country and the immediate family I’d been missing since I was fourteen… Love it. I think I’ll call it home.
Pete
I’ve been reading and studying, working and working out and have in some way been involved in fitness since I was very young. I played soccer; raced BMX and Downhill, Rollerbladed, played Hockey, rode dirt and street bikes, rock climbed, kick boxed and swam. I still do most of these and just about anything else active, exciting and fun whenever I get the opportunity! The only thing I’ve ever been addicted to is adrenaline and it continues to run my life on a regular basis. I’m motivated to live a happy, healthy active life; and I want you to be motivated too!!
For work I’ve done just about any sales driven job you can imagine, from mortgages and cars, to computers, dietary supplements and even face to face parking lot perfume solicitation! Don’t judge me, I was seventeen and only did it for about a week; but I was good at it! I started to want something more rewarding. I wanted to help people and build relationships rather than just trying to get into peoples’ pocket. A friend of mine pointed me in the direction of personal training and after a few months of studying I received my Personal Training Certification from the National Academy of Sports Medicine. Soon after with the desire to learn more, I received my certificate in both Corrective Exercise and Performance Enhancement. Over the last almost two years that I’ve been certified as a trainer I’ve spent hundreds of hours with people who have the desire to Look Better, Feel Better and Be Better but lack the financial capability to do it the right way. I watched money be the only reason they couldn’t hire a trainer, eat a healthy diet or even have a gym membership! TrainwithPete.com was born. I want to bring you an easier way to live a happier, healthier, longer, better life for you and the people that love you. I want to get rid of all the excuses! No more reasons not to, no more, “I can’t.” You Can!! I want to get you get off the couch, out of the hole you’re in or over whatever the situation is that’s preventing you from being a happier, healthier better version of that amazing person you already are. I want to help you.
