Assistant Fitness Manager, Personal Trainer

I am a firm believer that we should strive for progress rather than perfection. Progress is the roadmap that leads us to our goal over time through hard work and dedication. Compare yourself to where you were in the past rather than where others are in the present. The greatest catalysts of change are time and effort, and with them, we can reach our goals.
