I started training to improve my strength and fitness for my job as a firefighter. A friend encouraged me to "step it up" and aim for the annual firefighters calendar.

I accepted the challenge to try out for the calendar, but along the way I discovered that I love the training, love to see the improvements I make to my physique, and I get a rush when I feel an increase in strength at a gym session. I already know my training is no longer about achieving my initial goals, but is now a way of life I would not want to do without.
