My Story

There was a time when I thought I had life all figured out — until I woke up in rehab. What followed were 19 treatment centers, 4 overdoses, 3 suicide attempts, and a trail of pain and chaos I never imagined I’d survive. My story may sound familiar to others who’ve battled addiction, but what makes it mine is the journey I’ve taken to rebuild my life — not just to survive, but to thrive.

​

I wasn’t an athlete growing up. I didn’t touch a dumbbell until my late 20s. Fitness wasn’t part of my plan — until it became the plan. At one of my lowest points, during yet another stay in a treatment center in Kansas, I met a man who would change my life. He ended up sponsoring me. He was a beast — #3 in the nation for powerlifting — and he came to bring a message of hope. He looked me dead in the eye and said, “You will work out!” I was intimidated, scared, and completely unsure of myself — but I said, “Yes sir.” And I’ve been saying yes to growth ever since.

​

Something clicked in that gym. I found strength I didn’t know I had — not just physically, but mentally and spiritually. Someone told me, “If you love this so much, why don’t you become a trainer?” That spark lit the fire. I went all in.

Fitness became my therapy. Nutrition became my discipline. And the structure, routine, and accountability I was missing for so long finally became my foundation. But the real shift happened at my last treatment center in Azle, Texas — the place where I found faith. For the first time in my life, I wasn’t trying to fill the void with substances, chaos, or pain. I filled it with purpose. And from that purpose, SOBERFIT was born. 

​

SOBERFIT isn’t just a brand — it’s a movement. It’s where recovery meets sweat, where healing meets hustle, and where transformation becomes real. It’s about connection, community, and creating a life you don’t want to escape from.

I’m here to show people — whether you’re in recovery, stuck in a rut, or just trying to become your best self — that you’re stronger than your story. You don’t need to be perfect. You just need to show up, put in the work, and believe that your comeback is bigger than your setback.

I was the chronic relapser — until I found consistency, structure, accountability, and faith. Now, I live a life fueled by fitness, grounded in gratitude, and driven by the desire to help others become SOBERFIT for life.

That’s my why. That’s who I am. That’s The Blakeinator.
