Kenyatta Banks
I am Kenyatta Banks CEO of Kenyatta Banks Fitness and the Creator of Team Motivize (yes its a word) Fit Club. I am certified in R.I.P.P.E.D. Personal Training and soon to be certified to teach P90X. I have a passion for helping people change their lives. The ultimate goal is to help end the trend of obesity in America. I love sports, meeting new people, traveling, having fun, and surrounding myself with positive people. I am a military brat I grew up in Berlin, Germany (was there when they tore the wall down). Went to Highschool in Lacey, WA and college in Miami, FL. I earned my Bachelors Degree in Public Relations (because I relate to the public...duh)! During College is when I first started working out hard and became a Personal Trainer at Bally Total Fitness. After leaving Bally's I worked as a security guard at some of the hottest clubs on South Beach.
While in Miami I spent some time in the film and television industry. You might catch me in the Akon "don't matter" video (shameless plug) or even a Nike commercial.
Nonetheless, fitness was always a part of my life. After leaving Miami and coming back to WA I began my own business and realized my purpose in life was to help others get healthy and fit. Nov of 2010 I lost my father to colon cancer! It was eye opening, I realized life is short and I was put here to help as many people as possible.
So I started up a free "fit club" where people can come and workout in groups because I believe in the power of support. Realizing that a lot of people join gyms with great intentions, but without the support of others its almost like walking into a foreign land. So my focus now is on helping others live healthy more fulfilling lives. I know that tomorrow is not promised to anyone. Being blessed with a gift to teach people how to transform their life is a feeling that is surreal. If you have any questions or just want to know more or maybe you feel like you are ready to change your life for the better contact me.
There are two things in life we do not control, the day we where born and the day we die. What we do between those two dates will be a testimony as to what we left behind for the world.
