life, and I’m trying to help my clients climb up that mountain one step at a time, yelling at them from the top to keep coming and don’t give up, don’t fall down by cheating and messing up. But for the first time in my life I was at the bottom of the mountain looking up and it’s a totally different perspective, and it’s something I needed to go through.” After taking the journey with his clients, and joining them on the mountain they are facing, he has become a different person and a better trainer to the people he wants to help.

He has become a best-selling author with his book Fit2Fat2Fit: The Unexpected Lessons from Gaining and Losing 75 Pounds on Purpose, and he is the creator, producer, and narrator of, and a trainer coach on, the Fit2Fat2Fit TV program, which airs on the A&E cable network. Drew is also a motivational speaker, a National Academy of Sports Medicine certified trainer, a blogger, and a fitness enthusiast. Drew co-founded Dollar Workout Club with his wife, Lynn, and fitness writer Natalie Hodson, and he has been featured on numerous television programs. 2 0 16 | S N O W CO L L EG E M AG A Z I N E
In the fall of 2014, Drew came back to Snow College to share his knowledge and encourage the faculty, staff, and students to challenge themselves and set goals. He arrived on campus and invited anyone interested in working out to join him that day. He also talked about making healthy choices and encouraged faculty and students to set goals for that year. In the spring of 2015, he returned to campus to follow up on those goals and motivate the campus to continue with a healthy lifestyle. After spending a year enjoying the unparalleled beauty of Hawaii, Drew and his family have recently returned to Utah, and he is working on another book. “I have more journeys planned for the future that I will document and use to continue to educate the world on living and maintaining a healthy lifestyle,” he said. Drew’s message to anyone who is struggling to change their lifestyle is different than it once was. “First and foremost, you are worth it; you can live a healthy life. Start slowly; take baby steps. Instead of changing everything all at once, which seems impossible, start small. It’s a journey, not a destination.” 27
