In this episode, Mikey Aytes and John Borruso, both retired police officers, now personal trainers with Anytime Fitness in Wesley Chapel, NC, talk about their two very different life paths that led them to the same result after their law enforcement careers ended, still helping and serving, but this time in the fitness industry. This episode is very different than our others shows but I am confident you will enjoy this show very much. Sit back, enjoy the show as Mikey and John take us along for the ride and share their life's story and why they continue to do what they both love to do!

Mikey is a certified personal trainer and a lifelong union county resident. He was also in the service, and overseas in the army for 6 years. After completing his time in the military, he started his law enforcement career of 26 years. His last assignment was as a resource officer at Weddington middle and high schools. Due to his prior line of work, fitness and nutrition have been extremely important to him. He is excited, passionate and committed to this new adventure, and looks forward to helping others be the best version of themselves. Say hello to Mikey when you see him!

John comes to us from New York City, where he served for over 2 decades with the NYPD, first as a Police Officer then as a Sergeant. As a 9/11 first responder, and as a first responder in general, he learned first hand the importance of physical fitness. It is his goal to help others reach their goals.
