Brian White
My family is from North Carolina where I grew up with my two brothers. In High School, I took a weightlifting class and became interested in strength training and muscle building. In college, I studied nutrition, biology and psychology. I soon became a regular at the gym, experimenting with bodybuilding and strength training techniques.
My passion for bodybuilding and working out grew while I was in the US Army as a paratrooper in the 82nd Airborne Division. I competed in my first bodybuilding competition while in the Army. After discharge from the Army, I competed successfully at the State and National level as a bodybuilder in the NPC (National Physique Committee) for 13 years. During my time as a bodybuilder, I met many of the champion athletes. Some of their pictures are displayed on the wall by the office at Reps. Below are some of my competitions.

Since my passion is focused in the gym, someone suggested I buy one so I did! Your goal may be weight loss, increased physical fitness, maintenance of goals already achieved, developing healthier lifestyles, building muscle, or preparing for a bodybuilding/fitness competition.
