Jillian Michaels was a huge influence on my decision to become a personal trainer. Watching her on "The Biggest Loser" Season One triggered the "light bulb." We got to see her dramatically influence the lives of others while getting paid for her passion.

"Be brave and be patient. Have faith in yourself; trust in the significance of your life and the purpose of your passion... When you put positive energy and productive effort into the world it will come back to you. Occasionally in ways you might not immediately understand and on a time frame you didn’t expect. Look. Listen. Learn. Stay open. Your destiny is awaiting you." - Jillian Michaels, Unlimited: How to Build an Exceptional Life

It's my goal to not only motivate others to get active and eat well but also to live better outside of the gym. It's thrilling for me to help others incorporate their passions into their career. Thanks Jillian! You opened my eyes to this possibility, you are an inspiration!
