SHOW NOTES:

•    It was miserable, I would weigh myself every single day and just beat the crap out of myself. Anything that happened, I was a self sabotager, which most of us are. I had major body images, I'm 54, and at 235 pounds, that's a big size for a girl. And it's just like I said, I wouldn't talk to people. I was very negative, which if you know me now, I'm on the polar opposite of that. I was very negative. And my brother is the one who, he opened a gym and he knew how miserable I was, and he said, You know, you really should come in and work out, just super open, and I said, No, no, I'm not getting bulky because every girl thinks that they're going to get bulky, but most people that I train, don't want to be. (3:40)

•    I was a girl who just never worked out, I never... Like I said, I couldn't run the mile in high school, I couldn't... I couldn't even do that. And like I said, now I can run a half marathon, I can run... And it's one of the reasons I became a trainer is because the gym truly changed my life. And I feel like the gym is just a tool for me to get to people, to teach them how to really change their way, because anybody can work out, that's why people fall off, because anybody can work out. It goes so much deeper than that. (6:22)

•   You build a relationship with somebody and you tell them everything. I mean, you just do. And so I know the perfect time inside of the workout when they're exhausted, they're struggling because they're already broken down and in a vulnerable state, and I'll hit them with a question that is very personal. I've had people cry during workouts like, Why did you do this to me? And they say, I just came here to work out, and I say; No, you didn't come to me for that. (10:00)

•   It's life-changing for them, it has been for me as well, because I didn't have that, I didn't have somebody to help me. And so for me, that's why I became a trainer, I'm like, this changed my life. I can help people change their life through fitness, it just happens to be through working now. It's not just the working out, it just happened to be my avenue to help people, like my way of getting to people. (15:03)

•   I compare it to taking care of your car. Everybody loves their car. If you don't put gas in your car, what happens? It doesn't run. If you don't give your body healthy foods and exercise for a human body, and I'm not saying go balls out like I do, but I'm saying a human body has certain needs, it just has to have it to thrive. It just needs basic nutrition and basic exercise, and of course, keeping your mind clear and feeding it and doing all those things.  The cars the same way, if you don't give it good gas or if we don't change the oil, what happens... It breaks down. (19:27)
