7.     What's the best/worst thing to happen since you started working out? The best thing that’s happened to me from working out is I met my fiancé at the gym. Worst thing would be the many injury’s I have had.

 

8.     If you could change one thing about your journey this far, what would it be? Probably my years of improper training and thinking it was all about how much we were lifting weight wise.

16.  What would you tell someone who is thinking about getting a coach? I would tell them it’s the best thing they could be investing in. It's easy for someone to slack but if you have someone pushing you you're most likely to not give up.
