Summary
Growing up as one of seven siblings with a single mom, resilience was instilled in Amoila Cesar from a young age. After moving to Los Angeles to get his start working in fitness, he worked at LA Fitness until going out on his own — taking on personal training clients as an independent trainer. That leap of faith changed everything for him. Now, he's leading hundreds of thousands on their fitness journeys, pushing people beyond what they thought possible and changing lives as a BODi Super Trainer. Plus, he still works one-on-one with professional athletes and A-list celebrities (including Two Chainz and Julius Randle among others). In today's episode, he talks about the challenges that came hand-in-hand with success, and how he prioritizes self-care today to be his best.
