Chasing a passion is easier said than done, especially when it means forgoing law school and going against the beaten path that is so highly encouraged in society today. For Garrett Bair, this was the case when his passion for fitness turned into a tangible idea for a full time career.
When Garrett first arrived at college, he quickly felt out of place and developed bad habits. He felt pressure to fit in with his friends, and fell into a pattern of alcoholism that quickly got out of control. Garrett knew he needed an outlet that would be positive and productive, and fitness was the answer.
Once he started going to the campus gym, he immediately fell in love with the process of working on his physique and physical fitness. As his journey progressed, the thought of turning it into a full time career began creeping into his mind. Even though he knew how foregoing the opportunity to finish his education may look on the outside, his heart was set on his passion for fitness.
After spending time as a personal trainer at a local gym, Garrett began growing his social media following and quickly converted some of his following into personal training clients. Although it was a slow and steady process, he has over 200,000 followers on Instagram today and excels as a fitness influencer and expert in the space. To round out his impressive resume of fitness work, he also travels the United States as a fitness model shooting with several different photographers and studios.
Garrett has never settled for anything less than excellent in his life, and he’s shown time and time again that he’s willing to take risks and work as hard as humanly possible to make that happen. Once he realized how he couldn’t spend years in an office job, he devoted hours of his time every day to grow his fitness page and start monetizing his expertise. Once he started lifting, he wasn’t satisfied with looking a bit better than the average person. He wanted a physique that would leave people in awe, and he’s strived to maintain that stature for years.
While his success may seem natural from the outside, no one really gets a glimpse at what happens behind the scenes. Garrett has spent nights wide awake dissatisfied with his physique and his progress, has had to ask a friend for gas money just to get home, and grinds for hours on end to see success in his career. These are all things he’s not afraid to share, and it’s an even bigger testament to how passionate Garrett is about becoming successful all while chasing his dreams as a bodybuilder and positive influence for countless people.
