Memorable Quotes:

"There's always that anxiety about starting at the gym, but you have to remember that everyone starts somewhere. At some point we are all beginners. So you are not alone on this at all. And you can't be good at something if you don't start."

"If you're struggling to get into that mindset to go and train. If you're a little nervous about having to go to a gym to work out for the first time, if you're feeling a little self-conscious, you need to remind yourself of your reasons for going to the gym and why you're doing this for you."

"If you actually wanna have the best results, you need to lift a proper amount of weight in accordance to what you should be lifting and how you should be lifting it for the structure of your body and what your goals are."
