I met Roberto around 2010 when I worked for Bank of America. Since then we've both grown a ton inside and outside of the gym. He was one of the first people to put his health in my hands when I started a bootcamp in 2013 while I was still working full time in banking. His progress has not been a perfect trajectory, but he continues to be the shining example of what we built Origin around - working towards finding what is right for you.

His (our) work is far from done, and I'm extremely excited to be a part of his next steps inside and outside of the gym.

Reinforcing the principles of fitness that we live by at Origin.

Eat 21 meals / week, of those make 17-18 from your own kitchen

Get 7-8 hours of sleep / night

Train 4-5x week 

I promise. That's all you have to do. If you're struggling to get results, I guarantee these elements are not being met. 

A new segment I want to share that is inspired by the real conversations we have with our members every week. 

As the holidays approach it's easy to make excuses or procrastinate. HOWEVER, this week matters just as much as the week of January 1 and any other week. Your body doesn't know the difference and your true character is revealed during these tougher times. 

So what does last weeks effort in the gym say about your character, AND is that the person you want to be? 

If so - carry on. If not - take the steps I talk about in this short clip.

Today I sat down with Jessica Li to talk shop, shed some light on how I built Origin and talk about her ventures in life.

Jessica recently quit her day job to pursue a career as a Yoga instructor. In this episode we talk about that transition, how she did it, why she did it and her other passions in life. It was really interesting to explore how her Career Coaching background intersected with what we do at Origin.

Today I sat down with Elite Powerlifter, personal training, aspiring gym owner and all around good person - Albert Squires of Squires Fitness. Albert and I worked together last year at a personal training studio in San Mateo. During our time together I learned a lot from him. We vibed right away because we have a similar outlook and approach to the complicated job of getting people healthy.

The objective of this sit down was to give him insight on opening a gym. I feel that it also may be interesting / useful for our community to know more about Origin's back story and how it came to look and feel the way it does today.

I hope you enjoy!
