Fitness is more than just a workout. It’s a way of life - a community-driven journey toward personal growth, mental resilience, and connecting with others.

At Wareing’s gym, people have walked through its doors not just to work out but to be a part of something bigger than themselves. And it’s in these shared experiences that the true magic happens.

In this episode, Jake sits down with Amy Brett, who has been at the gym for nearly 30 years, to discuss the deeper connections between fitness, personal growth, and community. Amy shares her decades-long journey in the fitness world, emphasizing how practices in the gym mirror life habits.

Jake and Amy explain how the gym fosters a family-like atmosphere, resilience-building, and breaking through self-imposed limits. Amy also introduces her creation, "Phat Body Butter," a nutrient-rich skincare product born from her passion for health and wellness.

This conversation will inspire you to rethink how you approach fitness, life challenges, and even the people around you. Tune in to hear how showing up for yourself leads to showing up for others. Hit play now!
