My name is Coach Kenneth Tadeo, you can call me coach Ken; I have been training/coaching for about 3 years. In April of 2013, I was in a life-threatening accident; I was hit by a car going 40 miles per hour. I flew hit my head on the concrete and suffered a traumatic brain injury and through this journey, I got into coaching. For 4 years I focused on getting back on my feet, such as learning how to walk, talk and be independent again.
Through those years I grew a passion for helping people and I thought there was no better way to do that than through what I love to do, health and fitness. As soon as I began training people, I fell in love and couldn’t get enough of it. The joy I get from helping people reach their goals and helping them feel/look better is something I can’t find anywhere else.
My goal is to not only help you reach your goals but create sustainability in this lifestyle and make it fun for you. Let’s celebrate all the wins towards your path of success together.
