For many of us, health, wellness, and travel are what drives and excites us.
This month, I spoke to five alum who are using wellness and travel to not only create passion filled careers, but to inspire others to live their strongest and best versions of themselves.
No matter where you are on in your own personal health & wellness journey, these five alum are sure to inspire and spark motivation.

Ryan Hansen
Trip: Costa Rica Starter
His Story: "I am the owner and head coach at Prymal. Most hire me to look better naked, but, in actuality, I teach clients valuable lessons about willpower, hard work, discipline, and patience that transcend the gym into everyday life. The lessons you learn about yourself during the process of change is what makes fitness so powerful and why I love what I do so much. Exercise makes you a different, better person. And in today's ultra-sedentary world, it truly isn't optional. We sometimes forget we only get one body because we're used to seeing so many neglect and disrespect it. Health is the singular most important thing in life and so I strive to teach clients a sustainable, more fulfilling approach to their health and fitness goals that they can continue forever, instead of temporary fix focusing on flat abs, vanity, and shortcuts."

Jody Gansel
Trips: Rainforest Costa Rica, Iceland, signed up for Inca Trail in July
Current Location: Atlanta, GA
Her story: "I started Your Life As A Whole after about a year of clean eating through Whole30. I started my journey with Whole30 to reduce some medical problems I was having (migraines), and ended up finding a new healthy way of life. After 5 official rounds of Whole30, and eating 90% Paleo/Whole30 the rest of the time, I have found food freedom and a sustainable way to stay healthy long term. I'm healthier, stronger, and fitter than I've ever been and am honored to be able to inspire others to be the healthiest and strongest version of themselves as possible."

Donny Gallegos
Trip: Fitness Costa Rica & Iceland
Current location: Newport Beach, California
His Story: "My Journey started at an early age with a big influence from both of my parents. I became addicted to it when I was playing sports in high school and college when I found ways for training to translate better performance on the field. Then, I took it to the next level when I made the change from the corporate world to coaching full time. Now, I get to work with people on a daily basis helping them move and feel better. I get to take people to amazing parts of the world and enjoy them in ways that fitness enthusiasts truly enjoy. And next, I hope to get training and training programs, to up and coming athletes, teams, and even gym owners to help spread the gospel of fitness."
