Our First Member, Ten Years Later with Greg Smith

<p>Greg Smith has been a Big Day Fitness member since the day we opened in November 2020, and he&#39;s trained with Bobby for ten years. He joins Bobby and Maria to talk about what a decade of showing up two or three days a week looks like: why he calls himself a &quot;process person,&quot; how his goals shifted from the heavy bag to walking 18 holes and skiing for as long as he can, and why an injury is a reason to get back in the gym, not stay on the couch.</p><p><br></p><p>Greg also shares the quiet habit that changed his mornings: a 17-minute drive to the gym with the radio off, used to pre-play his day. Plus why he&#39;d never give up the community, how the coaches figure out &quot;which Greg&quot; walked in that morning, and what he&#39;s seen watching Bobby go from college kid to gym owner.</p><p><br></p><p>Big Day Fitness is small-group personal training for adults 40–70 in Norwell and Duxbury, MA.
