During the course of this seventh episode of the Self Care Passport podcast, host Janae Fletcher interviews Kelvin Thomas, a fitness trainer with 17 years of experience who incorporates Pilates, yoga, powerlifting, and plyometrics with a style he describes as “supportive yet demanding.” They discuss the importance of incorporating fitness into their everyday lives and how to set yourself up with steps and systems to reach your goals.
