[Carolynn, 5:22]   "I'm sure there's a ton of science around the endorphins and all the drugs you release inside your body that help, but I think just achieving something is very underrated. It's overlooked; it's just a physical achievement that you made that you didn't think you could make, and it has got to do wonders for your mental health." [Nick, 20:33]   "People don't give themself this allotment of a learning curve when they try something new. I see it time and time again, whether it's weightlifting, pilates or yoga, they jump into it and they're like I should be good at it now, but you're not good at anything you start. So, we have to do a really big crash course on how to get this right and give yourself three months." [Carolynn, 21:36]   "You know once you get past a certain point of number of locations, you have to make things feel a little cold. You have to have procedures and people are just following procedures, it's not about feeling anymore at that point." [Chelsea, 35:53]   "If you instinctively feel something is right, you just have to go for it. You can't let yourself think about it too much because that's what's going to stop you, trying to create this perfect thing."
