Daniel Woods

I began to take weight training seriously in 2011 while deployed to the Middle East. I grew up my whole life always being the small kid. Once I started seeing results I was completely hooked. I have decided that I will be separating from the military to follow my passion in becoming a personal trainer. I am a Certified Personal Trainer through International Sports Science Association, CPR and AED certified through American Heart Association, Personal Training Leader certified through the United States Air Force, and Self Aid Buddy Care First Responder certified through the United States Air Force.
There is no greater feeling than reaching goals that you once thought were impossible. I am happy to be part of team I.R.E.P. Athletics. They are helping me live my dreams and become part of something great. I love helping people reach those "impossible" goals, and getting them to realize just how strong they truly are on the inside and out.

I have a daughter named Isabella and currently works for Cintas Corporation as a truck unloader and I am looking to pursue a career in the fitness industry one day. I love the gym and love being at it 24/7. I have been lifting consistently for about 7 years. I have always looked for new goals and hot to improve in all aspects of my physical fitness. I am making the step by step progress and continuing to pursue competitions in my future.
I recently finished 3rd overall in my first show for the Men’s Physique Competition at the Kentucky Natural. A huge thanks to IREP Athletics and friends and family for all the support! I could not have done it without you guys. A special thanks to the IREP Coaches and Team IREP for all they do as I couldn’t have been more driven without you.

I am a 34 year old Personal Trainer and Fitness Director
at Concourse Athletic Club, also the owner of ETX Fitness.
In my years of elementary through high school. I competed in
a variety of sports; soccer, baseball, basketball, cross
country, and track and field. It wasn't until 2003 when I
joined a gym and began weight training for the first time.
That I really developed a passion for personal training and
bodybuilding. I became a NASM certified trainer in 2012, and
could not wait to start helping people. Through many
experiences of others and some of my own I decided to
broaden my training knowledge in nutrition and corrective
exercise. In 2013 I became a NASM CES specialist and
received my Precision Nutrition certification. To take that
even further I am currently enrolled in Life University
seeking a degree in Dietetics, to be completed in 2017.
I am also proud to be a P4P Muscle Athlete, and now a member
of the IREP Team.
Competition History:
2012 Nov SNBF Pro/Am Grand Finale Championship:
2nd Place Open Medium Bodybuilding
2nd Place Novice Bodybuilding
2013 April SNBF Pro/AM Championship:
4th Place Open Medium Bodybuilding
2014 June DFAC Championship:
2nd Place Open Heavyweight Bodybuilding
I am currently training for the DFAC World Finals in Miami
on Nov 1 2014, and hope to get my pro-card this year.
I believe in perseverance, motivation, and the right
knowledge are all you need to reach any goals no matter how
tough they may seem. I also believe in the "natural way."
Natural foods, natural competitions, and natural supplements
are everything that I live and stand for.
Joe Manning:
I am a lifetime natural bodybuilder and co-founder of P4P
Muscle INC. I have won numerous state and regional natural
bodybuilding titles. I will be stretching my comfort zone in
2015 as I prepare for bigger, national level contests with
the goal of winning an overall title and obtaining a natural
Pro Card. I have begun following Anthony Ross's programming
and am very happy with the results I am seeing. I am excited
to continue to take my training to another level.
