Boyd Myers
San Antonio Personal Trainer
Performance Nutrition Expert
Owner, Personal Fitness Revolution
Boyd, 2009 Lackland Bodybuilding Classic, San Antonio, TX
I am not the typical personal trainer. My style is difficult to define in many ways, because I don't follow one specific training method. I realize that every client is completely different, thus, each person requires a different approach to ensure they reach their goals. I am an expert at determining what path each client should take. I don't hoard my knowledge and keep it to myself - I update my personal training blog daily, always sharing my thoughts and beliefs on training and nutrition. I do this to allow potential clients to see exactly what they're getting when they come to me for training, not forcing them to "wait and find out" if I'm worth what they pay. I take immense pride at being considered an expert, a guru, or simply one of the very best at what I do, and strive to earn those types of accolades every single day of my life.
I believe that fitness becoming a profession for me was simply natural progression. As a rail-thin child, my enthusiasm in fitness began early. Although I wasn't malnourished or ill, I could've easily been confused for someone that was. I started working out at an early age, using the old sand weights and a Soloflex machine (pre-Bowflex era). At that early age I realized that nothing compared to fitness and training. As an athlete throughout my school years, I used to lift weights with no other purpose than to move pounds and would run sprints in the summer heat without water until I was sick. I then realized that there had to be a better way. Soon after joining the US Air Force in 1995, I began studying anything related to fitness/nutrition in order to gather all of the knowledge I could, to assist in finding that better way. In 1996, I began studying ATA Tae Kwon Do, where I soon became nearly obsessed with flexibility, agility, and quickness. It was also at this time in my life when I became nearly obsessed with being as physically conditioned as possible, from both an aesthetic and functional standpoint. In 1997, I was working at a local gym as a part time personal trainer, and it was there that I realized my passion enabling others to see their abs for the first time, helping a new mother get back into pants she hadn't worn in years, making it possible for a football player or sprinter to chop off a split-second in the 40 yard dash, and assisting people in blasting past personal bests in particular lifts. Since then, I have completed formal education in Kinesiology, Sport Specific Training, Functional Anatomy, Fitness Therapy/Rehab and Sports Nutrition. I continue to utilize my in-depth knowledge of fitness and nutrition in designing regimens that ensure individuals get the best results in the shortest amount of time, enabling them to depend on my services less over time.
I specialize in rapid body transformation. My programs are not easy, but they are highly successful and yield consistent results. My expectations are very high, and I strive to get the very best out of my clients.

Personal Training & Certifications
I'm currently an ISSA Certified Personal Trainer, ISSA Specialist in Performance Nutrition, ISSA Specialist in Sports Conditioning, Certified Fitness Therapist, a member of the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM), an American Red Cross CPR/AED Healthcare Provider, and have minors in both Kinesiology and Nutrition. I have also completed a training certification through Hofstra University in New York and have numerous other certifications and continuing education credits in a variety of fitness related subjects. I conduct and attend many seminars, classes and conferences each year in order to stay on top of the latest research and training methods. I am also a part of ISSA's Inner Circle, a group of 15 trainers selected by ISSA as the best personal trainers in the United States.
After running a successful training business in Montgomery, AL, I have been based out of San Antonio, TX since 2000. I am the proud owner of Personal Fitness Revolution, a private personal training studio in San Antonio. I'm excited to say that you won't find another personal training studio in San Antonio that compares to what we have to offer: our location, equipment, and personal trainers are all top of the line.
Fitness Experience
The ability to bring my clients' outstanding success has helped me become known as one of San Antonio's top fitness professionals. Since 1997, my personal training clients have included numerous professional and amateur athletes, CEOs, record producers, dancers, models (including cover models for Playboy and Oxygen magazines), teachers, musicians, engineers, doctors, lawyers, nurses, entrepreneurs, accountants, investment brokers, housewives, priests, teachers, students, members of all branches of the US Armed Forces, computer programmers, engineers, and newspaper columnists, to name a few. I specialize in helping individuals add a lot or a little muscle, tone up, with rapid fat loss, specific sports training for any sport, recovering from injury or pregnancy, or just improving the all-around quality of their lives. I find nothing more rewarding than quickly finding each individual a program to get them in the best shape of their lives! I've also had nearly 8 years experience in the martial arts and have experience in Yoga, so I'm a huge advocate of developing flexibility, strength and balance. I also have vast experience with groups that require special
attention, such as diabetics, pre and post-natal mothers, heart patients and several other special situations. I am also a successful fitness speaker, and travel to fitness engagements across the United States to provide insight and innovative fitness and nutrition information to large groups of people.
Community Involvement
Giving back to the community is an important part of what I do. I regularly donate training sessions to local auctions at various charity and fundraising events. I have also volunteered training sessions and fitness education seminars to local High School sports teams and to members of the United States Armed Forces.
Miscellaneous
After 11 years in IT as a Computer Engineer (including a 1 year trip to Baghdad, Iraq as a government contractor) while training others in my spare time which usually totaled over 40 hours per week, fitness is my only profession. My hobbies include competitive bodybuilding and modeling.
I also spent over 10 years in the US Air Force before separating in 2004. I am a recipient of the US Air Force's "Airman's Medal" for heroic action, which is the most prestigious medal an individual can receive for a non-combat event in the US Air Force.
I'm a caring father to my son, Peyton, and spend as much time as humanly possible "growing up" with him every day.

Chade and Andy
I am so grateful for Personal Fitness Revolution and Boyd Myers. I was at point A and wanted to get to point B. My point B seemed like it was a bit far off. I needed to lose a lot of weight and gain a lot of muscle. I was wearing a size 38 jeans and had really packed on the pounds over the years. It was time for a change. After going to Boyd now for 7 months I am now wearing a size 30 jeans, look better than I looked in high school, and have so much more confidence about my appearance. If you stick to what Boyd tells you to do, YOU LOSE WEIGHT AND ACCOMPLISH GOALS. I consider it a huge blessing to have found Boyd to help me lose weight, he is someone that could push me and motivate me. If you are contemplating whether to hire a personal trainer and/or whether to hire Boyd DO IT! You will be glad you did.

At the end of June 2009 (about 7 months ago) my friend and I decided that we needed to get back into shape. We are both 31 year old males that WERE about 40lbs overweight. I tried to eat healthy and exercise on my own without much success. I decided to seek help from a personal trainer and it was one of the best decisions I have ever made. It has been roughly 7 months and I have lost 40lbs and 10 inches around my abdominal circumference. I started out at 24% body fat and now I am down to 10% and still losing fat. I am an extremely busy person, I don�t spend all day in the gym. I have an extremely busy job and life like everyone else. I workout with Boyd three days a week at Personal Fitness Revolutions one hour at a time. It is a lifestyle change that wasn�t as hard as I thought. Boyd doesn't put you on a diet, It is all about choosing the healthier options, the amount you eating, and when you eat. It is a realistic approach and easy to maintain. I have referred several people over to Boyd's studio and they have had the same success. If you are ready to lose weight and start looking good I would highly suggest you give Boyd a call. I can't express enough to Boyd how much I appreciate all he has done to help me get to where I am at today, I could not have done it without his assistance. I would be more than happy to talk to anyone about his services and give a referral. Just give Boyd a call and he will get you in touch with me.

Four weeks after having my third baby, I was ready for a change. I had no clue where I was going, or how to get there, but my whole body needed transformation. I emailed an inquiry to Boyd and Personal Fitness Revolution, thinking I would hear back within a week or two and I could make a decision. He emailed me within hours, instantly invested in my personal story and quest for body transformation. I started training four days later. That was in April 2009. Now, at the end of February 2010, I am leaner, more confident, more secure, and down over a total of 30 inches. Any other trainer would have brought me to my goals and stopped, or gotten me halfway there and sent me on my way. Boyd doesn't believe I've come close to where I could be, and he is dedicated to getting me in the best shape I could ever want to be in. His whole program is individualized, and his expertise in subjects of fat loss, muscle gain and protection, nutritional timing, and one on one personal attention and privacy are beyond anything else in the San Antonio training world. Boyd, you are my hero and I will carry your voice with me for life. Anyone that doesn't want to give Boyd a chance to help define, work toward, and exceed their goals is cheating themselves out of a life changing experience.

I was at a breaking point and had very little faith that I was capable of doing what I needed to do to change my body. I had been active my entire life, but now as a new mother with a stressful job and seemingly no time, I had worked with other trainers in the past with marginal success. I decided to meet with Personal Fitness Revolution owner Boyd Myers, and have never regretted it. He was very direct with me about what I could expect, explaining that it would require dedication and discipline. He explained where my pitfalls were and what we were going to do to change them. Whenever I had a question, he was a quick email, text or phone call away. Every workout was extremely challenging, as he told me it would be. He pushed and pushed. Not aimlessly, but in a way that I would never push myself. How did I respond? I simply wanted more. I wanted every day to be a workout day. I looked forward to measurement day. I could feel the changes and while the physical changes were nice, I felt like a new person: new confidence, new energy, a new life. The plan was laid out in front of me, so I never had to guess. As I made progress, he modified my regimen and explained what he was changing and why. In 16 weeks I went from a 39" abdominal circumference to 27". I lost over 40lbs of body fat (and gained a little muscle) and am now more toned and defined than I ever thought possible. People now refer to ME as a gym rat - I'm anything but!!! Boyd, I can never say enough about what you have given me. You're a role model (hey, when you're getting ready for a show, I feel as if I'm going through it as well) and a great teacher. You're always professional and I never hesitate to tell people about your services. If you are looking for serious results, don't put this off. His value cannot be explained, and he is the best personal trainer in San Antonio!

Boyd totally overhauled my strength and conditioning. In wrestling, explosive strength, speed, and top-flight conditioning are paramount, and my family and I trust Boyd with all of my off-season and in-season training. I'll continue to work with Boyd throughout my college career, and on to the 2010 Olympic Games.

Boyd, in only 12 weeks you changed my body AND my life. I don't how to put a price on what you have given me, but I can't say thank you enough.

Thanks to Boyd, I am wearing a top that I have n-e-v-e-r - let me repeat, n-e-v-e-r been able to wear. It was one of those things that I bought years ago because it was cute and I thought I'd lose weight to fit into it, but never did. For giggles, I tried it on last night and, to my surprise, it fit perfect! I am smaller than I was at my all time low after trying South Beach (w/ no exercise) and the smallest I have been since 1996! I can't believe it! Words cannot express how grateful I am to have met him and that he does this for a living. Boyd has been able to help me achieve something that I have never been able to do myself or with any other diet or fitness plan. He has been there for me every step of the way providing encouragement and pushing me to become better and stronger each day.
Boyd, I hope you know how valuable you are in changing people's lives. You have created a new me, and I am forever in debt to you. You;re amazing!
