YUMON EATON

Yumon was born and raised in Fort Lauderdale. He graduated from Florida State University in 2009 with a BS in Psych and a Minor in English. Yumon actually started out as a school teacher before realizing that working with young kids was not for him. Shortly after, he begon working with senior citizens, which continue to do to this day. Yumon and his partner have a contract with the housing authority of Broward County, which allows them to visit low income, assisted living facilities where they conduct group fitness classes utilizing a variety of low impact resistance exercises. They also do nutritional counseling and healthy living seminars with each visit. All of this comes at absolutely no cost to the participants. Many of the seniors they enconter have very debilitating illness and disorder. The majority tend to be stroke victims, diabetics and cancer patients. They primary goals through all of this is increasing functionality and making daily living more manageable for them, i.e. getting in and out of bed easier, to and from the bathroom, etc. Yumon have been doing this for over ten years now and absoutely love it. Outside of bodybuilding this is his greatest passion.
