How Shane Got His Structure Back Without Giving Up His Social Life W/Shane Fowley

Shane Fowley joined me to chat about going from stop-start fitness to finally getting proper structure.

Shane shared how small changes, better planning, and meal prep helped him stay consistent without giving up his social life. We covered how his confidence grew as he started seeing results and actually enjoying the gym.
