Our minds are so powerful and they play a vital role in our overall success on our fitness journey.  

If we don't truly believe in ourselves we won't be successful.  

One of the ways to harness the power of the mind is through hypnotism.

Hypnotism works on speaking to the subconscious mind to set us up for success.  During my conversation with Chris we talk about the power of Hypnotism and visualization to ensure you are successful on your fitness journey.
