“I feel inspired on a daily basis.

I do go to the gym on a day to day basis. Five days a week I try to keep [fit] and I feel inspired every day when I go to the gym, and I see people trying to become a better version of themself. Physically, I feel like mentally and spiritually, so I mean, I take that into account, and that is definitely the last time I felt inspired.

I was kind of a gypsy [growing up] I was mainly raised in Manurewa, south side, which is known to most people in this area, and a bit of my years everywhere.

I’m at that stage in my life right now where family is definitely important. I try to keep happiness and laughter involved in my family as much as possible, and I suppose work. Well I’ve been trying to pursue fulltime employment for awhile now in order to be a strong provider for my household, and also pay for the necessary bills and what everyone’s trying to pursue on a day to day basis, really. Updating my CV, making a few phone calls, ticking the right boxes in order to have that. I’ve had a like a real physical background. I do work best in an outdoor environment, and I’ve actually come to love the gym. I like the feeling when you leave the gym. I feel like if you’re going to pursue a career, do something that you love, and have yourself waking up every morning wanting to go to work. So, having said that, a PT is something that I passionately feel like I want pursue in life. Mentally I feel like if you’re going to, if you want to work out in the gym, I think it all starts with your mindset. So, if you’ve got a strong mind and you’re able to persevere and strive till your end result, you definitely have to have a strong mind in order to have a strong body.”
