CSM Game-Changer Issue with Cristiano Ronaldo 2019 BODY ISSUE - Gerardo Gabriel | Page 126

CSM: This is your feature debut to be on Cen-
ter Stage Magazine, what is the experience like
when you are included in our roster for 2019’s
Summer Body issue?
LEWYS: To be featured in Center Stage Maga-
zine (Summer Body issue) would be an amaz-
ing experience and would utilize it as best as I
can. It is exactly what I am looking for in terms
of branching into other parts of modelling and
fitness industry. I will love the experience and
take the opportunity that comes my way. I have
always wanted to write articles and be featured
in fitness magazines to spread the word on how
to get a summer body and to motivate or inspire
others to do the same.
CSM: What do you think makes Center Stage
Magazine stand-out or makes it unique in other
publications around the globe?
LEWYS: Center Stage Magazine is unique be-
cause of the type of content and the style of con-
tent that they produce. I truly believe there isn’t
another fitness/model magazine out there that
comes close to CSM. Their posts, stories, and
articles are always informative, motivating and
inspiring.
CSM: What are the duties and responsibilities
that entail to your current profession or career?
LEWYS: As a gym manager, I have many duties
and responsibilities including recruiting, training
and supervising staff, managing budgets, enhanc-
ing profitability by organizing an appropriate
range of fitness activities and programs, keeping
statistical and financial records, maintaining fit-
ness equipment, ensuring compliance with health
and safety legislation, maintaining customer ser-
vice standards, undertaking administrative tasks,
promoting and marketing the business and deal-
ing with enquiries and emergencies.
My other job is a personal trainer and online
body transformation coach. I am not just a coach
to my clients but a mentor. I will not only help
them transform their physique, but I will trans-
form their entire life for the better. Getting fit and
healthy doesn’t just make you look better but it
also helps you in so many different ways includ-
ing your mental health too.
CSM: This year’s bimonthly edition is about
going for game-changing results in careers and
individuality and inspiring people (being a bea-
con of inspiration); describe how you defied your
limits and exude confidence in your career and
what did you do to push those boundaries.
LEWYS: My number one rule that I always com-
mit to is – no matter how hard you work or think
you work there is always another level. You can
always work hard and put in more effort. Another
rule that I stand by which I think is the main rea-
son why my online coaching business has been
so successful is to always exceed your clients’/
bosses’ expectations. If you do that you will be
known as a high achiever and people will talk
and refer you and your business. Life is about
growth, being better each and every day. Live ev-
eryday to the fullest.
CSM: Being assertive and attentive is required
for this profession. Have you ever made or en-
countered difficult decisions? How did you man-
age that?
LEWYS: Every time I come across a problem
that is difficult to overcome, I always think that
every problem has a solution no matter how
big the problem is. Every hurdle that you come
across has a lesson to be learned. Without prob-
lems, you will never grow as every failure makes
you stronger.
CSM: How do you handle the situation if people
get intimidated by you and your work?
LEWYS: Stay calm and be honest. Try look at
the situation from their prospective as you might
see where they’re coming from and be more un-
derstanding about the situation.
CSM: What game-changing results do you look
forward this year?
LEWYS: To earn my PCA and UKUP profes-
sional card and win the European and British Fi-
nals. I also want to employ another coach to start
working for me and online coaching business as
my end goal is to build the biggest/best online
coaching platform in the world.
CSM: Describe the person who made an impact
in your life and how that is significant.
LEWYS: The person who I look up to the most
Arnold Schwarzenegger as he started from the
bare minimal; from living in a tiny town in Aus-
tria to becoming one of the most well-known
people in the world. His drive, determination and
commitment is what inspires me the most. If he
can do it then anyone can!
CSM: How do you set goals for yourself?
LEWYS: I visualize exactly who and where I
want to be in the future then plan steps I need in
order to get there. A dream written with a date
becomes a goal. A goal broken down into steps
becomes a plan. A plan backed by action be-
comes reality.
