BusinessInterviews.com: How does your approach to fitness differ from the competition?

Drew: I focus on the Positive and eliminate the negative. We are inundated every day with so much information from social media, news, etc…and a lot of it is negative so, I encourage my clients to be “selfish” in the best sense of the word when it comes to exercise and take care of yourself and give yourself a gift every day. You will feel better, have more energy, be more confident, stronger and your relationship with yourself and your loved ones will be better; I see this happen every day and it is so amazing to see the transformations.

However, I know that when you give yourself the gift of exercise everyday, you get so many benefits for you and those around you. You have more energy, more confident, stronger, more toned, sleep better, you get along better with your significant other, your co-workers, your kids and more.

Don’t you deserve to feel this way this too?
