His passion for the health and wellness industry expanded soon-after in Santa Monica, California, where he began managing and operating 220 Fitness while additionally developing himself as a private and group trainer.
In his duality, Brett evolved into realizing his desire to revisit his skills in the direct-to-consumer business.
