Episode 269 - Trina Gray - Owner of Bay Athletic Club and Founder of Team Rockstar 

“Learn to move through struggle faster…feel it, look at it, embrace it. Feel all the feelings and move forward.” 

“Be willing to show up HARD where you are right now…be noticed…be her now!” 

You are in for a treat! Today, the Two Fit Crazies welcome the amazing entrepreneur and fitness and wellness trailblazer, Trina Gray. Joining the show from her home overlooking Lake Huron in northern Michigan, Trina is about to unleash some powerful lessons learned over the past few decades that allowed her the ability to “show up calm and confident” to all that life had to throw at her. Listen carefully as Trina reveals how she was able to draw the strength and courage to leave her journalism career, move to a new state, start multiple businesses, and care for two young children. While Trina claims she was born with a certain decisiveness, she believes that her love for collaboration over competition has been a key factor in her success at building two successful fitness clubs in Michigan and her world-wide coaching success with BeachBody. To learn more about Trina, her speaking events, fitness clubs, BeachBody coaching, or even a bit more about her collaborations with the honorary “Fit Crazie,” Todd Durkin, take some notes as you listen to this episode or visit www.teamrockstarfit.com
