In January 2023, that dream turned real.“ Luke announced me as part of the team. I quit my job that same day. I had no savings, one child and another on the way— but I knew I’ d make it work.”
“ The rest,” he smiles,“ is history.” The hot room has a bit of a reputation. What’ s your advice for newcomers?
“ It’ s not easy, but that’ s the point,” Lee says.“ Start with a few one-to-one sessions so you know what to expect. Then build up to the hot room classes at your own pace. You’ ll get support from both instructors and the community— no one gets left behind.”
What’ s been the highlight of your journey— and what’ s next for 2026?
“ The highlight has definitely been taking my skills to Dubai and being part of the gym there,” he says.“ It hasn’ t been smooth sailing, but I’ m grateful for everything— the wins and the setbacks. They’ ve shaped who I am.”
As for the future?“ In 2026, ShredFast will be where it belongs— at the top of the fitness industry. Our mission is to help as many people as possible become the happiest, healthiest versions of themselves. We’ re not stopping until we get there.”
