Today we’d like to introduce you to Rolando Hinojosa
Hi Rolando, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
As a young boy, I always wanted to stand out from the crowd to be one of a kind. But with that comes criticism and resistance. I was a chubby child as well, so I was made fun of, bullied, and rejected by the girls. That pain that I experienced was what led me to want to help others going through what I went through. A promise was made at the age of 15, that I would do everything in my power to help people become the best versions of themselves. With the struggles throughout those hard years of trying to lose the weight, I can relate and truly understand what some of my clients may face. That is why I chose to become a Personal Trainer.
If I’m going to do something, I’m going to make sure it’s done thoroughly and correctly. That is why I decided to pursue a bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology – Exercise Science & Wellness at the University of Texas at San Antonio. I also attained a minor in Athletic Coaching to have a better perspective of how to support and motivate people in order to get the best out of them. Once I graduated in 2019, I became a NASM Certified Personal Trainer. Each year since, I’ve dedicated my life to my craft. By adding different specializations and certifications such as becoming a Nutrition Coach and a Women’s Fitness Specialist, I am able to understand and help different audiences with different goals. My overall objective is to be able to help anybody and everybody. That is why I have a diverse clientele of all ages, genders, and capabilities.
Some people try to make a dollar, I’m trying to make a difference. Coming out of college, I was beyond enthusiastic about getting my career started. After many observations from working in the health and fitness field, it was evidently clear that not everyone had the same passion that I possessed. That’s when I decided to do my own thing. I waited patiently, practiced my skills, and took much needed notes on what to do and what not to do in my line of work. Before taking a leap of faith in me and my idea, I made sure to evaluate my risks vs. rewards and get constructive feedback from clients. In life, when a problem arises, it is useless to complain about it, but it is useful to act on it. Hence, Ro’s Personal Training, LLC.
Evolution is continuous for me in all aspects of life, especially in business. So, after having my personal training business in San Antonio, Tx, I wanted to expand my services and help more people. I prefer face-to-face interaction with my clients, but not everyone has the luxury to come see me. That’s when I created Ro’s Online Coaching, LLC. Now I can guide and teach health & fitness to the whole world! I also look at different industries to identify opportunities. Fitness apparel is one that I have taken an interest in. I want to bring some flavor to fitness. Thus, Still StandN Clothing Brand, LLC was created. The meaning behind the name comes from me always saying “I’m Still Standing!” every time life or people tried to break me. They Failed.
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
With no one to guide or teach me the ropes of business, there are always challenges to overcome. You have tons of ideas, but then you need to examine which ideas will work and which won’t. Every day, decisions need to be made in order for your company to stay afloat. My passion for fashion and helping others will always be my foundation. Sometimes business matters take the fun out of the job, but keeping my vision in mind is what keeps me going.
Being a startup business, I have provided all the funding for advertising and marketing, uniforms, and equipment necessary for me to execute my duties efficiently. All profits need to be reinvested if you want your business to grow, and that my friends is the huge sacrifice you must make if you truly believe in yourself and your brand. I had to try and save money where I could in order for me to keep growing. That meant me doing everything from designing the business flyers, designing my website, designing my clothing logo, recording and editing my videos, and bookkeeping my finances as well. These are the many challenges I face weekly, but hey… No Challenge, No Change!
In an industry such as fitness, the competition is pretty high. Everyone is trying to do the same thing and the main obstacle to overcome is to always think outside the box. Try to do what others do not. That is where you will stand out. Never try to imitate or duplicate someone else’s idea or work. I put my name on my business on purpose because when people are trained by me or when they buy my products, I want them to know that this was Ro’s standard. There will always be obstacles/challenges to overcome on the journey of being an entrepreneur. I look forward for the next ones to come because each one of them only make me stronger.

So maybe we end on discussing what matters most to you and why?
What matters most to me is that everyone in this world understands their true value – who they are and impact that they can have on other people. If one person spreads love and positivity, then it’s just a domino effect after that. Fitness is just one form of manifesting one’s true potential and it comes with confidence, joy, and positive optimism. Everybody deserves the opportunity to strive for the person that they see in their dreams or visions. I always tell my clients, “Once you accomplish this goal, I can only imagine how happy you are going to feel.” And that’s why I do what I do. I’m here to heal the world one person at a time.
