About Sam

Sam Glenn’s Story

Sam almost died during birth. He should have been a C section, but the doctor didn’t like to do C sections, so he was vacuumed out. The doctor was known as dr. Death behind his back, because he messed up 2 births before Sam. Sam was the third strike that made him lose his doctor’s license. Sam came out with the umbilical cord around his throat and was blue from lack of oxygen. He had a stroke and part of his brain died. He was put in the ICU unit for a week before his mother could hold him for the first time.

Sam was 17 years old when he learned that he has epilepsy, because of that fiasco.  He was driving his 13 year old brother home from school, and he seized on the highway. Once he went unconscious, his brother took control of the steering wheel and crashed the car against the guard rail. That day he learned that he has complex partial epilepsy, so he was inspired to learn about neuroscience in college. He got a bachelors in science at UTK, majoring in neuroscience and minoring in biological sciences.

After he graduated from college, he wanted to continue his education in health/wellness, so he became ISSA certified as: a personal trainer, a health coach, a body building specialist, and as a nutritionist. He struggled to be noticed, because the coaching industry is very oversaturated, but once he became a LASER technician at Day Chiropractic, everything changed. Now he has his niche! Now he can offer LLLT, which most other coaches and trainers can not do. He started his own business “Coach Sam Glenn LLC” and he is healing himself and the world using photobiomodulation! 

Sam’s Story as a Personal Trainer

Sam got his first ISSA Personal Trainer certificate shortly after he graduated from UTK with a BS in Neuroscience (in May of 2022). He had a quarter life crisis once he graduated, because he knew that he had to keep growing. He must not hit a wall and become sedentary. He wanted to go to grad school, but he wanted to build his resume before continuing his education. He decided to start a business! He chose ISSA (International Sports Science Association) instead of NASM (National Academy of Sports Medicine), because he knew that one day he was going to be coaching even outside of America! He was studying in Savannah GA (his home town) and he got a job as the General Floor Manager at the YMCA (in August of 2022). He did this to meet more people and to market his business to like-minded health/fitness individuals. He soon realized that the YMCA takes around 50% of what each personal trainer makes, because of insurance and gym equipment.

This was not a business model that Sam wanted to be apart of, so as he moved back to Knoxville (because his girl friend wanted to go home in October 2022) he applied to Club4Fitness to be a personal trainer. At this point, he had gotten the Body Building Specialist certification also. The gym did not take his application though, because of his disability. Sam does not drive anymore, because he already had two seizures while driving. He continued to work on his multiple certifications, undeterred by the denial. Eventually he split from his girl friend, and he moved back to Savannah GA (in February 2023). She did not believe in his business, and she claimed he was wasting his time and money on these certifications. Later on, all the health and fitness certifications helped him get his job as a LASER Technician at Day Chiropractic.         

Sam’s Story as a LASER Therapist

One day (in March 2023), when Sam went to the Savannah Ultimate Project, in Forsyth Park, he struck up a conversation with Judy Lombard. They connected over a talk about biochemistry and he learned that Judy is a sales rep for Multi Radiance Medical. She sells LASERs that cause the mitochondria to create more ATP so that cells can heal faster. Sam was baffled by this incredible technology, and he was very interested in learning more about phototherapy (and photobiomodulation). Judy was running her own business “Cold LASER for Pain” and she was employed at MRM (Multi Radiance Medical). She hired Sam to help her sell more LASERs (because she had no one helping her with her business), because of Sam’s history in sales and his biochemistry knowledge. He was a remote salesman for “The French Steel Company” at the time, and he had been a door-to-door salesman in the past. Judy connected Sam with Dr. Day (Day Chiropractic) because she was performing the LLLT for his clinic, even though she only wanted to sell the LASERs (not perform the therapy). Sam interviewed with Dr. Day (in April 2023), and he was impressed with Sam’s multiple certifications (Nutritionist, Health Coach, CPT, Body Building Specialist) and his degree (Neuroscience). Sam was hired as Day Chiropractic’s LASER Technician, and Judy trained Sam on how to use the LASER for different patients. 

Eventually Sam saved enough money to buy his own LASERs (in August 2023). Now he can perform LLLT to any of his own personal clients (not just Dr. Day’s patients), and he’s a step above all the other personal trainers. He is an independent contractor working with his business partner the “Organic Mechanic” (who started the “Holistic Body Shop”). Together they do hands on healing and LASER therapy, to heal the world! In one year, Sam had created a business and was happier than ever, getting to do his dream with his best friend. He sells and rents out LASERs. He performs LASER therapy, and he trains clients/patients to be their best selves!
