It’s crazy to think how different life has become since I figured out this whole fitness thing, because before I got in shape:

  • I was single
  • I was unemployed
  • I had no life vision

And fast forward to today:

  • I’m married with 2 babies
  • I’ve increased my salary considerably 4 years in a row
  • I have a clear vision for my future

While getting in shape may not have been the only reason all this happened over the years, it was an integral part of the process.

Getting In Shape Boosts Confidence

When I was a gym manager back in 2022, there was this guy I checked in quite frequently.

He was always relatively quiet.

Just came in and did the work then left.

But closer to the end of my tenure there, I noticed him talking a whole lot more to not only myself but other members as well.

Smiling more.

Getting back into his hobbies.

Planning a trip he’s been wanting to go on for a while.
