"I feel like if you can laugh whilst you’re working out, that’s one of the ultimate expressions of ‘Fuck you’ to the fitness industry. Because, again, so much of it is so serious, and you got to take this seriously, and you got to like put your head down and be having a bad time. And I’m like, I love to make my clients belly laugh. Laughing with my clients is one of my greatest joys, and they know that, like, that is an aspect of working with me."
