| 0:13.2 | He's got lots going on in the fitness industry. His big thing is helping other personal trainers. |
| 0:18.8 | But he's been in this game for a while so I'm hoping that |
| 0:22.2 | he'll be able to share some of his words of wisdom with you to help you really get more from your |
| 0:27.3 | training and what you're doing in the gym and also some things you know what you could maybe |
| 0:31.3 | consider looking for as well if you are looking to pick a personal trainer and and make some |
