Meet Anthony Tate

We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Anthony Tate a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.

Hi Anthony, appreciate you sitting with us today to share your wisdom with our readers. So, let’s start with resilience – where do you get your resilience from?

I get my Resiliency from my WHOLE FAMILY!

My 2 Grandmothers showed me how to LOVE Unconditionally.

My Grandfather showed me how to be a Protector.

My Mother showed me how to be a WARRIOR.

My Father showed me PERSISTENCE & that there are no Failures- Just Lessons.

My Aunties taught me how to REPRESENT my Family!

My 2 Uncles taught me WISDOM!

My Sister taught me that LOYALTY is everything!

My 2 Oldest Daughters taught me what FAITH (Hope in that that is not seen) is.

My 2 Yougest Children taught me FORGIVENESS – As I was an Absent Father; but that has not stopped them from Loving me as Their Father.

I am Resilient due to my family’s:

Unconditional Love
Protection
Warrior Mentality
Representation
Wisdom
Loyalty
Faith
Forgiveness
Of me.

How can I NOT be Resilient TODAY?

Without them – I Am Nothing.

Let’s take a small detour – maybe you can share a bit about yourself before we dive back into some of the other questions we had for you?

What I do is Meet People where they are on their fitness journey. It doesn’t matter where you, or your body are at currently; I help you reach your full potential through fitness! The most exciting thing about being a trainer is taking your fitness & wellness to BEAST Level! I work with my clients to help them change their outlook on their health and Fitness. What’s most special about this is not only helping people realize their best body; but helping them realize their BEST Lives- which I call The BEASTLIFE! I enjoy helping people the most! Fitness is my way to give back to Society! Fitness is MY contribution to this World. Fitness is my way to Leave my Mark!

There is so much advice out there about all the different skills and qualities folks need to develop in order to succeed in today’s highly competitive environment and often it can feel overwhelming. So, if we had to break it down to just the three that matter most, which three skills or qualities would you focus on?

#1 Quality is Being able to Connect with ANY and EVERYBODY!

#2. Being in the BEST SHAPE of my Life for now over 38 Years!
My children have NEVER seen me “Out of Shape” – their entire lives!
I have 4 children with the oldest being 27 and the youngest being 18; and they have ONLY seen me in the best shape of my life! My oldest s now a trainer in the Dfw Area, and my fitness journey has shown them the necessary skills to be any & everything they can be!
#3. I’ve learned how to train any and EVERYBODY to Health & Fitness! It started with my own fitness journey at 9 years old. I played Sports (including College Football). I managed Health clubs for 10 Years, and during that process I met every kind of “body” there was! I Hired, Trained, and Developed the trainers at my clubs during that whole time, and was Always a Top Earner, due to having the BEST; most customer service based staff in whatever area I was in. I’ve worked as a Corrective Exercise Specialist for Chiropractors; helped Physical Therapists write Exercise Programs to help their patients, and I have worked with Children to start their fitness journeys. I’ve used my platform of fitness to Teach them how to help their families be fit, and well Through my FitLife Initiative Program in which I’ve gone to Middle Schools and taught Middle Schoolers To be Trainers in their Homes & Communities to affect Positive Change! My goal as a trainer has Always been- 1 Million Serviced! I have changed thousands of lives for the better over the last 2 decades! THAT is the MOST SPECIAL!

Make Your Health & Fitness a Lifestyle! Don’t EVER show up out of shape! You never know who’s watching!

Alright so to wrap up, who deserves credit for helping you overcome challenges or build some of the essential skills you’ve needed?

Terry Watson. He taught me the importance of being a “Customer Service Guru”! This allowed me to bridge gaps in the beginning when I was just a guy who worked out, and was in it for the $$. He taught me that as Trainers our motto should be – over 1 Million People Serviced!
