“Whatever I do when I'm happy, I do better. So the life of being a personal trainer, that's how it all really began. It was being inspired by being in the gym and knowing it made me feel happy, then thinking if I could do that to other people and try and get a living from it, that makes me happy too.”

“Your expectations have to be aligned with the action you're going to take. If the action is not particularly flat out, then you can't expect to get somewhere really quick, and that's what we've got to kind of balance. That's what I'm trying to do.”
