You know people can get out on the street and work out even if you don't look like your typical, whatever." (5:59) "That fueled my passion to begin working with women exclusively. And having a place where we could work out hard, like lift heavy, work out hard and push ourselves, and feel really comfortable." (22:46) "I always say I don't know how to do anything else, this is what I do. No matter what like any other thing I have thought about doing, it always comes back to this. This is what I am supposed to do so this is what I do." (32:19) "Everybody's got a street curb. You know you can work out on the street curb, you can work out on the park bench. So no matter what, you can do something."
