“Rain or shine, I will be there at 6am and 7:30pm and sometimes no one even comes.

“It annoys me, but it doesn’t stop me. I didn’t give up.

“I will pack my things, ride my bike to the station and hand out flyers to commuters before returning home.

“Today I have an office just 20 meters from where I stand.”

The fitness YouTuber hopes to inspire his group of followers to pursue their goals.
