Connect What fuels your passion for health and fitness?

Growing up, I was afraid to lift a dumbbell because I didn't know what to do with it. I was weak, self-conscious, nervous, and didn't see value in working out. That version of me died when I found my passion for health and fitness. My passion for health and fitness is fueled by who I once was. A version of me that secretly wanted to be where I'm at now. I do it for him. Because the confidence I have in my body and the way by mind/body feels inside and out makes me feel like I can do anything.

What’s your favorite way to train or stay fit?

Favorite way!? There's SO many! But with fitness, there's VARIETY. That is honestly my favorite part of working out because you will never get bored. But, regularly, I am starting a work out with strength training and finish with some sort of accessory or conditioning. Then, in the afternoon, I will throw in some cardio such as running or a sport. Nothing feels better than moving my body. So, year round we are putting hours in the gym and getting involved with as many sports as possible!

What would you do with $20,000?

As a single guy who just moved out on his own, $20,000 would be a big deal for me! There's a lot of things that this money could help me with in my personal life. On the fun side, one thing about me is that I love an adventure. I would love to take a few friends on an adventure of a lifetime. Somewhere like South America to hike/white water raft/enjoy the culture. I'd also like to take my grandma back to Italy to see here family. She hasn't seen them since she immigrated here over 50 years ago.
