His family escaped communist Russia in 1980 for America.

Between dumpster diving and gasoline showers, his father instilled the entreprenuerial spirit.

Even now, a can of Spam still makes him weak in the knees.

He kept going.

While working three jobs…

11 dollars an hour perrsonal training…

fry cook at Disneyland…

bouncer at a gay bar (it paid more than a straight bar)…

he landed a gym client that would pass on business and success knowledge as Bedros trained him.

(Shout out to Jim Franco!)

Before long he opened his first personal training studio.

Then another.

When he had five, he started consulting and coaching with other trainers and gym owners.

He has lived what so many consider a mere cliché…

The American Dream.

Here’s what he did…

* The simple little cassette tape product his client gave him that changed everything.

* The two startling and sleazy employee mistakes that told him it was time to sell his studios.

* How did Bedros re-enter the gym business and found the fastest growing gym chain in the world?

But you know it all worked out OK in the end but my dad decided that we’re going to escape communist Russia in 1980 and get to the United States. And I was six years old.
