Wes Watson is an inspirational speaker, fitness trainer, and ex-convict.
Watson grew up in San Diego, California, skating, surfing and snowboarding, before getting involved in dealing marijuana.
This began a downward spiral which ultimately led to Wes being given a 10 year term in the Californian penitentiary system.
After his release, he created Watson Fit, designed to free people from their mental prisons and smash their fitness goals.
Watson's YouTube channel, GP Penitentiary Life, inspires hundreds of thousands, with his detailed and gruesome stories inside the penal system.
