How did you get into the industry?
I went through a life-changing journey of my own. In 2007 I was 5’8 – 99kg – Smoked 40 cigarettes a day, drank so much bourbon and coke it created market shortage. By the end of 2008 I was down to 71kg. When speaking with current and new members seeking to improve their health and fitness, I honestly get how hard it is.
I got involved in the fitness because I wanted to make a difference in people lives the way I was able to change my own.

Make it to the gym, eat like we tell you, and enjoy yourself. This community is doing a lot of good things on a lot of fronts.
