Key Quotes

“Having the ability to just sit down and be reflexive, whether it's through meditation or mindfulness, can be a really great why. It doesn't make the work easier, but your frame of mind and your reference point shifts when you have something that you are actually working towards." -Coach Nick.

"Once people do it in the area of health and fitness, they're like, I'm this person now. They just awaken. They're like, oh, wow, I said that I was going to do this and I actually did it and actually succeeded."-Maxime.
