Quince had never thought about being a trainer before that moment, but he liked the idea. After getting certified through the YMCA, he trained teens, elderly and people from all walks of life. In 2004, he opened a private personal training studio in Atlanta, Body Sculptor, where he got his big break with the support of a local radio personality.
He went on to train some of our favorite celebrity bodies, including Angela Bassett, and fit couple Boris Kodjoe and Nicole Ari Parker.
When it comes to his own body, Quince, who is also spokesperson for the new “Dust the Rust Off” campaign, says one of the ways he keeps his heart healthy is doing cardio first thing in the morning to get his blood circulating. He skips breakfast and instead hits the treadmill for a walk or goes for a light jog.
“On the emotional side, I surround myself with good people,” he shares. Like-minded people like other entrepreneurs and people striving for their own greatness. “I surround myself with people like that and it just keeps me positive and I like to take in what I give out in that sense.”
For those of us who may have fallen a little bit off of our New Year’s resolutions (okay, a lotta bit off) or are close to falling off, Quince’s advice for getting and staying motivated is to schedule your life. “Schedule YOU in your life. Oftentimes, people schedule other things they have to do and don’t make themselves a part of it.”
The same way you have a set time to get up, get the kids off to school and get to work, the same way you can schedule time for your health. “That’s the exterior habit. Now from the interior perspective you want to make sure that you make conscious decisions of eating clean.”
Commit to eating more greens or having greens at every meal. Drink more water. Quice also describes himself as a huge fan of supplements “to complement your life.”
“I’m looking to help them create long-term habits and one of the long-term habits is finding a reason that you fall in love with exercise.”
His heart is definitely in the right place.
