“Harper was raised on a cattle farm in Nashville, Tennessee before making his way to Los Angeles in pursuit of his dreams. It was a serendipitous meeting with a trainer that motivated Harper to get into the fitness industry. He received a fitness instructor’s certification from the American Fitness Training of Athletics Association and the Aerobic and Fitness Association of America,” it said.
“Now a decade later, Harper has developed his trademark brand of fitness and nutritional integration that leads to lasting lifestyle transformations.”
