A: About two hours because it’s optimal.

A: It takes time away from school but also helps my mental health a lot. It’s like a stress reliever.

 

Q: What motivates you to go to the gym?
A: Honestly, everything. Almost anything I see or do reminds me of how I can be better. Gym is the way I can be better at specific things.

 

Q: How do you balance going to the gym and school?
A: Just create a schedule you know, you can wake up like earlier, go to sleep earlier, you can always compromise something or do one of those. But the school’s always first.

 

Q: How has the gym affected you personally?
A: It’s improved a lot of things, like my stress levels, all that stuff. It just makes you happy going there, it’s a nice community, people are nice, and it changes you.

A: Yeah, of course. It’s a healthy lifestyle, you know, gym gets rid of a lot of diseases, obesity, all that type of stuff you know.
