Collin Clarke from Evansville, Indiana, weighed 201 pounds, with 37% body fat in May, 2015. He was 22 years old, and working behind the front desk at Bob’s Gym. It was about this time when Collin looked inside the gym’s multi-purpose studio and saw personal trainer Glenn Ubelhor going through his body-building posing routine in front of a mirror. Ubelhor took Collin under his wing, and the rest is life-changing history!
After 6 months with Ubelhor, Collin entered a bodybuilding competition in Louisville, titled: “Kentucky Muscle.” He wore only a pair of posing trunks, and weighed 137 pounds with 7.2% body fat. Colin had transformed, physically and emotionally. Training had given him independence, confidence, focus and purpose.
