Rick Nathan, 57, became a Rough-Fit client 2-1/2 years ago, then joined the team as a certified personal trainer

Rick retired as a captain after 34 years with the Downey, California, Police Department and currently serves as a substitute teacher for the Tustin, California, Unified School District in addition to his work with the Rough-Fit team.

He enjoys supporting community youth activities and has coached Little League, soccer, softball and basketball.

Rick says his greatest strength as a trainer is being able to understand from personal experience what it takes to get in shape. �I like to remind clients that it takes persistence, patience, a willing and winning attitude to become successful in reaching your goals.� �After retiring I made the decision that I needed to stay active and healthy,� Rick says. �I hadn�t jogged in years and had never competed in a race.After training and setting goals with Rough-Fit, my son and I competed in the Camp Pendleton 10K mud run and finished!What a feeling!Looking around during the race, I saw young teenagers like my son, young adults, and runners in their �50s, �60s, �70s and even several in their �80s!I realized then that with the right attitude, training and a healthy lifestyle, you can accomplish things you never thought you could do!� He has since competed in numerous 5K and 10K runs. �Mapping out how to accomplish what clients thought was impossible and then watching them achieve their goals is fantastic,� Rick says. �I love helping new clients who say, �I can�t do pushups anymore,� then showing them that, not only can they do one but, with some effort and training, they can complete an entire set of pushups!�

Rick is certified by the International Fitness Association as an aerobics and fitness instructor and by the National Academy of Sports Medicine as a certified personal trainer.He holds a CPR certification from the American Heart Association and has a Bachelor of Science degree from California State University, Los Angeles.Rick and his wife, Fausta, also a Rough-Fit member, have been married for 21 years and have two children, a daughter in college and a son who is a junior in high school.
