Alejandro Vivar is the founder of 25/7 Fitness Initiatives, a Canadian non-profit which aims to make fitness free and accessible for all. He is also the owner of Clubhouse Toronto, a gym located in the Toronto downtown core.
[Click here to watch this interview on YouTube]
How he got here is just jaw dropping:
In 2007 Alejandro Vivar was arrested in a police raid and sent to prison for 10 years. While in prison, he achieved his Personal Training Specialist Certification (CanFit Pro) and aimed to turn his life around.
In 2016, soon after being released and while teaching a free fitness class at Christie Pits Park, he was shot and seriously injured. That event is now the theme of a CBC documentary titled "Prison Pump".
Alejandro's story is one of struggle, perseverance and hope towards change.

Es uno de los comediantes que más admiro, no solo por su comedia, sino por su habilidad de ser mucho más que su "profesión". Los que escuchan este podcast saben que tengo una fascinación y admiración por la gente que logra cosas extraordinarias en otra áreas de la vida, no sólo en su "profesión" o trabajo. Bobby es una de esas personas: se ha reinventado y es, como él lo llama, "irresponsablemente apasionado".
