Blaine Callaway
Trainer at Affinity Fitness

I was introduced to the weight room at about 14 years old. I loved it right off the bat and have been a gym rat, for the most part, ever since. I graduated from West Texas A&M University in 2001, with a Bachelor degree in Business Administration, Bachelor of Science in Finance, and a Bachelor of Science in Marketing. I spent 11 years in the corporate world and like many, I became sedentary. I was one skinny (176 pounds dripping wet), out of shape Ginger! I was winded just bending over to tie my shoes. When I turned 30 I made a commitment to get back in shape.

I started by walking on a treadmill every day for weeks, then running, then light lifting. Finally, after making slow but gradual progress I hired a trainer. Luckily that trainer, Chris, became a really good friend and we began working out together on the regular. Chris introduced me to power lifting and kicked my butt everyday but I was determined to get to his level and kept coming back for more. It wasn’t, and still isn’t easy, but I was finally able to put that skinny Ginger way back in my rearview mirror. I remember the exact moment I realized that I wanted to be a personal trainer.

I was working an office job and was not happy with it. I hated sitting at a desk all day and I knew that being trapped behind a desk was not what I was born to do. While working out after a long, tedious Monday, I had an epiphany. I realized that the GYM is the place I wanted to be all day! No more desks, no more repetitive day jobs stuck in the never-ending rat race. I needed to do something I love. I started researching and asking around to find out what I needed to do to become a personal trainer. I started studying for my NFPT certification immediately and began training friends and family members. I had a blast! Training people and helping them change their lives is what I was put on this earth to do. I love it! I love waking up every day with a smile on my face, knowing that I have the opportunity to educate, inspire, and motivate my clients to lead fit and healthy lifestyles.

My passion is to help others discover the benefits of being active, and guiding them to be healthy and fit so they can fully enjoy all aspects of life. Every client is different and my style will be tailored to your specific needs. There’s absolutely nothing cookie cutter about it at all. I’ll push you without yelling or screaming but you’ll be challenged. We’ll get to know each other very well, but we ARE going to do some WORK. I’ll be with you every step of the way and will keep you moving forward towards your goals. It’s going to be a fun, sarcastic and hard journey, but we won’t stop until you reach your goals.
