QUOTES

• “When you put your mind to something and you become masterful at that thing, doors open for you." - Fraser Bayley
• "I don't say this to people to say ‘you should do what I do’, but I'm saying, I truly think that we have a lot more ability to change things than we realize. And if we buy into this label and we just kind of identify with the label, it's going to be a self-fulfilling prophecy. It's kind of like that line, you know, if you argue for your limitations, guess what? You get to keep them." - Fraser Bayley
• "And the reason why people kind of burn out with their diet and fitness stuff is because they're doing too much guesswork." - Fraser Bayley
• “You can say whatever you want but you can't tell me it's undeniable that somebody who's in great shape, doesn't even matter they could be the ugliest damn person in the world, but if they take care of themselves there's something that's being said just by the way they look, the way that they're in shape” - Ken Baden
