Meet Solomon Pratt of Solomon’s Gem

Today we’d like to introduce you to Solomon Pratt.

Thanks for sharing your story with us Solomon. So, let’s start at the beginning and we can move on from there.
When I was 13 years old I was watching a Bio about Bruce Lee and I remember when they described his work ethic on Martial Arts and weight training they said.” He trained like a madman possessed”‘! I was so impressed with his discipline and focus on being the best version of himself I started my Martial Arts and weight training.I was always into health and fitness, the last four years it’s been a burning passion of mine. I’ve been a certified Personal Trainer for 3 years.

I specialize in burning fat, building muscle and building strength. I also teach my clients boxing, Shaolin kung fu, meal planning, day by day coaching and consulting to add more value to my clients. I can pull anyone out of a crowd and make them better as long as they are coachable, consistent and willing to put in the work. I love making people better with my knowledge and skills. I want to deal with more serious clients who are willing to pay a premium excellence!

I train my clients based on their body type and their goals. One of the main benefits I love about fitness is that it builds so much discipline and mental toughness. Discipline is doing what you are supposed to do even if you do not feel like it or not. I Train clients at my private gym and I travel to clients gyms, homes and businesses.

Great, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
Its been a tough road for a few reasons number one this new culture of people wanting instant results from little effort or no work. Everyone wants to look healthy and fit without doing what is required to have lasting quality results. Too many people treat health and fitness as a hobby or something to do when they are bored.

When I met most people the main problem I face is they respect only there business and their time and not my business and my time. A very important lesson I learned is that people spend their money on what is important to them. Getting serious people to invest in their health not only doing things when they feel like it is a challenge. I see in the fitness industry it is not about who you know it’s about who knows you.

Alright – so let’s talk business. Tell us about Solomon’s Gem – what should we know?
My health and fitness business is about selling a lifestyle change that will change the way my clients view their health. I teach my clients about health and fitness and customize a health and fitness program for them to help them achieve their goals without wasting time. I specialize in burning fat, building muscle and building strength.

I am known to help my clients with being more accountable and giving them a plan to reach their goals. I am very proud of my clients who follow my lessons and see that these skills I teach them will help in all aspects of there life business, personal and family. I am dedicated to my clients and add the most value to there lives more than my competition.

Is there a characteristic or quality that you feel is essential to success?
The qualities and characteristics I feel that is important to my success is my discipline, fearlessness, being coachable, willing to sacrifice my happiness for a little while and knowing the difference between good advice and bad advice.
