From there, he became a personal trainer for some celebrities, gradually opening his gym and, thus, getting into the fitness industry. After selling his fitness business, he opened nightclubs claiming, "It's really difficult to get people to do lunges and eat salad, but it was easy getting people to get pissed, drink gin and tonic, party, and eat pizza."
