I grew up as the only boy in my mom’s water-aerobics class (clueless then… makes sense now!). As a Catholic gay Latino man and proud father of two sons, my story took time. I was married for nine years to an incredible woman—my boys’ mom—who supported me completely when I finally understood who I was after reading Gay, Straight, and the Reason Why, and Ricky Martin’s book, Me. Those books helped me accept that being gay isn’t a choice, no matter what I was told growing up.
Today, at 54, my sons are in college, and life has come full circle. Wyatt and I hit the gym and hiking trails together, stay strong together, and honestly… I’ve never been happier.
And yes—this program works for men too. Straight, gay, whatever—strength is strength. Even the one and only Steve Harvey joined in, cracked jokes the entire time, and lost 11 pounds. So guys—come on in.
Ladies—you already know it works. Bring your husbands, boyfriends, brothers.
Bottom line: this journey is for everyone. Let’s do this together.
