When I first came to the area, I had been in search of a gym and a spot to practice martial arts.
Scouring what online material I could find, produced a keen interest in the place; furthermore, Summer was one of the first people I remembered seeing. Not often had ladies been involved in jiu-jitsu in 2015, so seeing the sight intrigued me.
Years later, I was attending a fight held in the Waterloo Convention Center at Sullivan Brothers Plaza. In a moment of déjà vu, I recognized Summer and her partner from my research years earlier. The team that the ROC Gym brought that night absolutely decimated the competition; moreover, their performance gave me great insight into the quality program they’d built.
When I launched the podcast, I had been on the lookout for intriguing stories; consequently, Summer Mast was already on the radar.
Having instant success in her first bodybuilding competition, studying jiu-jitsu, training her ass off on the daily, training others to reach their goals, and her determination to raise outstanding humans were the factors that insisted we sit down and record an episode.
If you’d like an instant view into the type of work ethic I’m speaking about, tune into the daily workout videos that Summer Mast Fitness uploads. In complete honesty, I’m sweating the fact that I have agreed to a workout over a lunch break as I’m sure it will be a burner!
