About Adam Garrow
"I want to get motivated, slim down, and get healthy."

I would say I’m a pretty ordinary 20-something—now pushing 30—guy in Houston. I’m about to get married and have a baby on the way. My fiancé and I live in a decent apartment with our dogs Flip & Bella and spend as much free time as we can with friends and family.

Getting Started

My trainer Joe Danna at 24 Hour Fitness Galleria Active told me I’m sitting pretty average but there’s room for improvement. He has me on an all-body routine and doing more reps so I’ll build muscle yet lean down. To form strong core muscles and improve my balance, I’ve been doing exercises with foam mats, resistance bands, and Swiss balls.

I’m the type of person who needs a buddy to keep me on my toes, so I’ve also been going to the gym 3 days a week with a friend. We switch on and off between machines and talking makes the time go by faster. He typically lifts a little more than me, which pushes me harder as I try to keep pace with him. We usually concentrate on one area per day: a back day, a chest day, and a shoulders day; mixing biceps, triceps, and abs into each.
