For years, I always thought it was hilarious that I was this fitness guru, because fitness was just a tool I utilized to help people improve their confidence. For me, it's never been about fitness. It's always been about helping to empower people.

Fitness isn’t about building a better body. It’s about building a better life.

Do I look like the kind of person who gives a ****

I believe in blood, sweat and tears.

Selfish isn't a dirty word. It means we take care of ourselves and are able to give back.

When friends tell you how awesome you look, drop the "I still have more to go" crap. You worked hard and you deserve the compliment!

Be brave and be patient. Have faith in yourself; trust in the significance of your life and the purpose of your passion. You are strong enough to sit in the space between spaces and allow divine inspiration to shed some light. When you put positive energy and productive effort into the world it will come back to you. Occasionally in ways you might not immediately understand and on a time frame you didn’t expect. Look. Listen. Learn. Stay open. Your destiny is awaiting you.
