About Edward

Hi guys and gals, my name is Edward Colbert Jr. Just call me Ed, for short. Currently I am a 1on1 personal trainer at Gold's gym in Prairieville, Louisiana and I also lead small group classes (Lady Golds). Back in 2014 is when my fitness journey began. I was at my heaviest at 270lbs, but unlike Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson I was not 6'5 or in the single digits as far as body fat % is concerned. Nope I was 5'8 and unpleasantly plump. Losing 80 pounds definitely was not an easy journey. That number scared me because in high school I was between 180-200lbs, and active in sports (football and wrestling). Each year following my prior athletic activity I'd put on another 20-30lbs of fat mass until I finally noticed the trend during my Sophomore year of College and decided to make a change.

In college, at LSU is where my journey began. At first my goals were not very specific and I really didn’t have much of a plan. I just wanted to change the number on the scale. I started my weight loss journey doing cardio on the treadmill. I eventually plateaued and realized that I needed to change the way I was approaching training. So I incorporated high intensity max interval training and gradually progressed to more advanced exercises through the help of Shaun T's "Insanity" workouts and a little bit of peripheral heart action resistance training here and there. As a result, I lost a total of 80 pounds, but honestly my journey was far from perfect. My weight would fluctuate constantly and I winged it on many accusations, not really having a plan or design. It took a lot longer to lose the weight than it should have. A lot of what I know now would have been helpful back then. If only I had someone to guide me through the process. Don't get me wrong there are no quick fixes when it comes to achieving your fitness goals and I'm proud of what I accomplished so far, but there are definitely more efficient and effective ways to reach your goals.

While I was in college at LSU, I majored in psychology for the sole purpose of better understanding and helping people. I soon learned shortly following my graduation that health and fitness was the route I would take to reach that end. My desire to help people like me is what led me to pursue a career in fitness. Through my fitness journey I learned a lot about myself and witnessing my own transformation has helped me better understand the pitfalls others face. That's why I started Everyday Fitness Solutions (EFS), as an opportunity to help others realize and experience their fitness goals as well.

EFS, like most online coaching and personal training services does provide a blueprint (a training regimen, meal plan, and 24/7 accessible coaching, advice, and accountability) customized for your particular goals and needs, but unlike most programs, my program encourages gradual independence. My goal is not only to help you reach your goals, but to help YOU maintain your results afterwards WITHOUT THE NEED FOR A TRAINER. My goal is to teach and motivate you to become more aware of your own habits and behaviors, particularly the ones that hinder and impede your progress. I'll help you develop the confidence you need to achieve your current goals and whatever fitness goals you might have in the future. As a certified Health/Life Coach (Health Coach Institute), an undergraduate in Psychology (Louisiana State University), and a certified Personal Trainer/ Fitness Nutrition Specialist (National Academy of Sports Medicine), I feel obligated to share what I've learned, in order to help those who are serious about taking their fitness journey to the next level.

I enjoy helping others develop the confidence to challenge themselves everyday and reshape their views on what they believe is possible. I enjoy watching the non physical (character) transformations as well as the physical ones (weight loss, muscle tone, and daily performance). I enjoy connecting with people and helping them uncover their motivations, goals, setbacks, and true calling in life outside of fitness.
