Celebrity fitness trainer and coach Corey Calliet is the man behind actor Michael B. Jordan’s powerful physique.

Corey has been in the fitness industry for 15 years and he has boxed professionally.

Corey says he trains clients physically but also to cultivate their minds to another place then their bodies will follow.

Corey prepared actor Michael B. Jordan for the physical demands of his roles in Black Panther and Creed II by telling him “We won’t fail.”

“The days when he wants to take it easy and not go as hard he has to remember that we are being held to a certain standard now. Because we don’t want to ever let nobody say that they are not putting in the work, they’re just all hype. What you see is what you get.”

As I reflect back on 2017 I think of times when I was the happiest in the moment and you can tell from my smile ?! Those memories of happiness weren’t because of where I was or who I was around, they were because I was happy with myself in that VERY moment. Too many times we forget to be happy in the moment and often times it is because we are upset about the past and worried about the future. Remember- the past has happened already and there’s no going back. The future is just an illusion of what we want it to be only to be fulfilled by our present moments, choices and attitude! I challenge everyone to be HAPPY in the MOMENT in 2018!! Much love ?? to everyone that reads this message and HAPPY NEW YEAR????
