Las Vegas-based Elite Personal Trainer Derek Lamar Joe Earns Third Consecutive First-Place Finish at the PNBA Natural Olympia Competition
Local trainer who has worked with college teams and professional athletes also offers fitness tips for 2024
Derek Lamar Joe, a highly accomplished personal trainer and an online coach who specializes in bodybuilding, placed first at the Professional Natural Bodybuilding Association (PNBA) Natural Olympia in Las Vegas, on Nov. 11, 2023. He has now won the annual event three years in a row.
This year’s competition brought hundreds of competitors representing more than 30 nations who were eager to showcase their passion for the sport of natural bodybuilding while representing their country.
“Legitimacy, integrity, and value (L.I.V.) are at the forefront of my focus when I commit myself to compete in the sport, and every year, I’m impressed with the dedication of each competitor and the community we build through PNBA Natural Olympia,” Joe said.
Joe has been featured in the iconic Iron Man magazine twice. He has served as an assistant strength coach at the college level. He has actively participated in and administered Nike SPARQ testing for Major League Baseball teams, including the Seattle Mariners, Milwaukee Brewers, and Colorado Rockies.
A highly accomplished trainer, he also offers three wellness tips for Southern Nevadans making health-related New Year’s resolutions this year. They include:
1: Focus on getting your body moving: Even the smallest goal of walking 15 minutes daily is an achievement, Joe says. Start small, and focus on doing those small things well before working on bigger goals.
2: Avoid diets: They are all fads, the fitness pro adds. Focus on lifestyle changes and small steps that lead to results over time.
3: Integrate gratitude and stress relief practices with your physical goals: Joe notes that focusing on your breath and other stress-releasing practices go hand in hand with physical transformations. Taking time to be grateful will help you physically.
