CAROLINE MOFFIT
Average Jane transforms into chiseled figure competitor
“Creed and Cat (“Dr. D”) were instrumental to my personal transformation. It was their expert advice that took my health and fitness to a whole new level and which started me on my journey to become a successful figure competitor.
“As a figure competitor and self-employed realtor, I need to always be healthy and in tip-top physical shape. Creed and Cat’s healthy dietary advice, along with their exercise regimen has helped me in keeping in top shape and fit for my everyday work. Being in good health enables me to be productive and feel and look my best all day, even when my schedule is tight and demanding.
“Creed’s workout techniques and health program work. I would gladly recommend him to anyone who needs to be in good shape and in good health. “My thanks to God, Creed, and Cat.”

DARIUS CREED
“I know what it’s like to be out of shape . . . or at least the WRONG shape!”
Over the past several decades, Creed has devoted literally thousands of hours to researching human potential, both in body and in mind. It is his passion, his identity. He is also an avid practitioner of his craft and loves to test his mental and physical abilities in a never-ending quest for personal transformation. A significant part of his passion lies in sharing his knowledge with anyone willing to take action towards improved health and fitness.
Yet, it wasn’t always an upward trajectory of self-improvement. Like anyone else, Creed has had his fair share of pity parties and self-sabotaging behaviors. At one point, during his 30s, after a particularly difficult period in his life, he skipped out on regular exercise, routinely indulged in comfort foods, and allowed himself to become tired and fat.
“I lot of clients don’t feel they can relate to their personal trainer, nor do they feel that their trainer can relate to them. Because it takes one to know one. They don’t feel like their trainer can truly understand what it’s like to struggle through obesity and all the challenges associated with it, both physical and psychological. But I understand. Because I’ve been there.
“Fortunately, this was a temporary setback. I eventually reached a point where I was sick and tired of feeling sick and tired and decided to apply the principles I had learned to restore my health and transform myself back into the fit and healthy trainer I once was. The experience, while far from positive, gave me a personal understanding of the kinds of inner challenges that obese people go through. This perspective provided a template for duplicatable transformational success, one that teaches others the same mental secrets and health and fitness strategies I used to transform my own life.”

DR. CATHERINE DIVINGIAN
From multiple debilitating conditions and cynical outlook to vital fitness model, high-performance athlete, and possibility thinker
Now 54, Dr. Catherine Divingian has become the consummate hybrid athlete. She has performed one-arm push-ups and weighted pull-ups (strict form using a 45-pound plate), among other feats of strength. In addition to her daily running regime, once each week, she conducts several miles of interval ruck running—up and down hilly trails—wearing a 20-pound rucksack (backpack), which she also accomplished for a 26.2-mile marathon. She is incredibly conditioned with a resting heart rate in the low 40s. And her future fitness goals are off the charts. Yet, it is where she came from that is far more remarkable.
In her teens, she was anorexic and suffered from malnourishment. Her extreme diet led to osteoporosis confirmed by DEXA scan. This prompted her to take medications designed to protect her from further bone loss. This medication placed a heavy burden on her internal organs and eventually led to stage-3 chronic kidney disease. On top of all this, she was also diagnosed with osteoarthritis, degenerative disc disease, and chondromalacia patellae (knee degeneration). In addition, she had chronic fatigue syndrome and slept an average of 9 to 10 hours per day—often accompanied with naps—and still felt exhausted. Depression and cynicism were understandable consequences.
Her debilitating conditions only worsened with time. She eventually resorted to using a cane and even, on occasion, a wheelchair. By her 30s, she had a box full of meds, disintegrating health, and a bleak future.
Fortunately, after some soul searching, Dr. Divingian reached a critical point in her life where she had had enough. Deep within her frail and sickly body was a sleeping Giant who refused to quietly wither away. A switch was flipped in her mind where she began to challenge the limitations she recognized were self-imposed. Inevitably, this awakening led to a series of paradigm shifts that opened her mind to the key dietary and fitness strategies needed to throw away her drugs and overcome all of her “irreversible” conditions.
“Before I met Creed, I believed that it was all downhill from here. Little did I know that this gifted trainer would truly open my life to new possibilities of health, vitality, and strength. Over the time we’ve worked together, I’ve transformed from dumpy to sleek; and was able to compete in figure (a type of bodybuilding), as well as be in an international fitness modeling campaign.
“But it’s not all about looks; it’s about health and quality of life. Before I met Creed, I was a physical mess. I truly was convinced that the best years of my life were behind me. When he started me on my new program, I had no idea where it would ultimately lead. The transformation was incredible.
“Working with Creed also led to incredible strength gains. I have gone up to 520 lbs on leg presses and have done 12 strict dead-hang pull-ups. I’ve even done pull-ups with an additional 45 lbs of weight. I also recently reached a new personal record and can now do one-arm push-ups, yet another feat I never thought I could ever do. None of these accomplishments would have been possible without Creed.
After having devoted most of her life to academia as a professor (PhD in Health Psychology and MS in Pharmaceutical Sciences), by 50, Dr. Divingian was able to achieve her childhood dream of becoming a medical doctor (MD). She now serves several hospitals as an emergency medicine (EM) physician and provides consulting services in regenerative medicine.
JOE MORALES
At 74 years young, he’s the come-back kid
“In the short time I have been in training with Darius, I have already noticed a lot of beneficial changes on how I feel. I feel terrific, much stronger, and full of a lot more energy. He has also given me some tips on nutrition that has helped me maintain my weight while beginning to convert some of my fat into muscle. Lordy, I sound like an infomercial!
“Seriously though, if you are interested in taking care of your body and improving how you look, Darius or Catherine are the ones for you. Tell ’em Joe sent ya!”

REID TILLERY
Lost 24 lbs. of fat; put on muscle; improved blood work; dropping meds
“To Whom it May Concern:
“Recently, I consulted with Darius Creed about diet and exercise. He also consulted with me on how to put on muscle weight using body-weight exercises.
“Long story short, I’ve lost 24 pounds since December of last year (down from 189 to 165). I’m gaining muscle strength and tautness. Plus, I’m down to only one blood-pressure medication, successfully dropping one medication after my weight loss.
“I’ll be 70 years old in a few days, and Creed’s advice let me know I was doing the right thing, and on the right track. My blood work and improving fitness level shows that to be the case.
“When it comes to fitness, Creed knows his stuff, which is why I consulted with him in the first place. I would never have done so, had I not had confidence in his knowledge.”

CHRISTINE WINTERS
From zero interest in health to lifelong health evangelist
“If you’ve been searching for someone who can take your physical training goals to the next level, Creed is the guy who will motivate you and give you guidance on how to do it. He’s very knowledgeable and passionate about helping people. As an added bonus, he is well-studied in health and nutrition and helped my husband and me make major improvements in our diets as well. If you are fortunate enough to work with him, journal your progress, commit to the workouts, and you’ll be amazed at the results. Go for it . . . life is not a dress rehearsal after all!”

MARIE THORNTON
A new lease on life
“I am 77 years old and had problems with high blood pressure for some time. Mr. Creed told me about a very healthy diet and his exercise program. I decided to try his program. Because I was still weak from being sick for months, he suggested I start on mild exercises, gradually increasing in intensity, speed, and duration. I am happy to say that now I feel so much better, healthier, and stronger than when we first started on his program. Now my doctor has cut down my blood pressure medicine to the lowest dose, and even that, she cut in half; so, the side effect is almost gone. Following Creed’s advice was the best thing I did for myself. “I cannot say enough good words about Creed. He is very knowledgeable, and a very helpful, caring person.”
Respectfully,
Mrs. Marie Thornton
