I?m sure there will be a lot of new responsibilities, but I?ve been running gyms since the age of 16, so it will be nothing new. I?m looking forward to new challenges, including the television show.�I would like to thank Duke Roufus and Scott Joffe for the opportunity, and my family and friends for supporting me while I achieve my goals.?
