Today we’d like to introduce you to Donovan Anderson.
Donovan, please share your story with us. How did you get to where you are today?
Started my journey back in 2010, wanting to change my health while also helping others elevate their health as well. I started using P90x because I was tired of the way that I look and how I felt, long story short, I ended up losing 21 pounds on p90x and a very strict diet that I customized and created on my own, calculating my own macros and following my strategic plan. Others took notice of my everyday dedication and grind and they wanted to know what I was doing to get in such great shape, and the energy that I put out every day with running, killing the gym, doing boot camps and killing football stadium run, rubbed off on others around the community of Monticello, Arkansas, where I graduated with a B.S in Kinesiology from. I started helping others around the small town get CRAZY results with customized workouts and meals plans, designed just for them. Others took notice and from that point on, I fell madly in love with FITNESS, this lifestyle was my calling, helping others and fitness is my original gift from my almighty Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. I fell so much in love with it that it was imperative that I help my own friends and family.
After my father’s passing in 2015, I really turned it up another notch, reaching out to friends and family in my wonderful hometown of Indianola, Mississippi, inspiring and motivating so many others, including my mother, who alone lost 23 pounds on my plan in her first month alone, with just one day of exercise a week, due to her hectic work schedule. Being from a small town like Indianola, I’ve seen so many individuals just indulge in crappy foods and become soooooo unhealthy, but it’s mainly because they didn’t know any better, or they’ve had no one to show them, so most of it isn’t their fault at all. But GOD placed me here and He has left me here for some valid reason, and I know for a fact that reason is to reach out and help as many people, uplift, motivate, inspire and encourage as many people as possible. With me being an active member of the greatest fraternity that’s ever been created “Omega Psi Phi”. I decided to keep Omega and just add fitness to it. That is my brand and this is the brand that will take the world by storm, ranging from little kids all the way up to the elderly. It’s been rough, it’s been hard at times, but you’ve never heard of anyone climbing and getting to the top of a SMOOTH mountain, it’s a must that you have some humps and lumps along the way… be on the lookout “OmegaFitness: is transpiring big time in the City of DALLAS and around the world!!!!
Has it been a smooth road?
Not a smooth road at all, anything that’s not hard to attain, will not last at all, so I most definitely endure the STRUGGLE, as a good soldier would do. Some major struggles that come with the territory has been the lack of finances in the past, which also created the lack to network, one of the major struggles is feeling like the main ones that know you and know your hustle will support you, but in reality, they don’t. STRANGERS have been my biggest supporters, and I am so cool with that, it’s a surreal feeling.
So let’s switch gears a bit and go into the OmegaFitness story. Tell us more about the business.
OmegaFitness… is a brand that I created, it is so much bigger than fitness, and that what makes me so proud of it, its more of a mindset CHANGE. Because Life is bigger than fitness its self. I am here to constantly motivate myself as well as others, and propel to new levels in life, whether it’s fitness, business, work, family, church and all of that. “It’s bigger than FITNESS.” A lot of individuals know me for my crazy, exotic, grueling workouts, I specialize in some entertaining workouts that a lot of trainers can not perform. I care about others, this is sooooo much bigger than myself.
How do you think the industry will change over the next decade?
One of the biggest sports performance and wellness centers are known, helping all types of individuals, created new stories daily, but really specializing in Athletic Performance.
