We all start somewhere
Parker’s passion for fitness began at the age of 15. After a difficult day at school, his older brother brought him to the gym for a workout to help get his mind off things. He instantly fell in love with training and from that day forward, Parker educated himself and gained a sound knowledge of health and fitness. He transformed his body from a skinny, shy, 145 lb. teenager to a 195 lb. top fitness model.
Consistent hard work pays off
Parker has been featured in over 350 national and international magazines including People Magazine, GQ, Men’s Health, ESPN The Magazine, Maxim, Cosmopolitan and Men’s Fitness. He was first runner-up for Fitness Model International’s prestigious “Male Model of the Year” Award in 2011. He has modeled for P90X, Reebok, Puma, Brookstone and Zipcar, NBAStore.com, NHL, the NFL and others.
Men’s Health Magazine calls Parker a “world-class personal trainer.”
Parker is currently ranked the number one most covered fitness model in the world.
In addition to fitness modeling Parker has written two books, Cover Model Physique in 5 Hours a Week, and Ultimate Abs Guide. He has also written for dozens of publications internationally, and is one of Men’s Journal’s fitness experts and was selected to Boston Magazine’s Fitness Expert Panel.
