On January 17, 2015, while filming for a promotional video for an energy drink, one of Greg’s stunts to outrun a train arriving on the rail tracks of Burbank, California went horribly wrong. He tripped while running in front of the oncoming train and could not recover well in time to save himself.

“Today it begins. Tomorrow it continues. And it never ends, until you reach your goal and cross the finish line.”

Plitt often urged people to stop dragging their feet through life in reluctance and lethargy and start living with excitement and energy as he lived so himself, every single day of his living moment. A physical transformation in the form of a body makeover, hence, only follows a prior much deeper transformation of mind and emotion. The older one gets the harder it is for them to transform. Nevertheless, transformation is possible at any age and once achieved, you are a different person. Maintaining the best version of you only gets easier with time. The hardest part comes right in the beginning when your body refuses to change, yet you have to keep showing up in the gym for months and months and eat clean and self-educate yourself to figure out the details to make every workout more productive than the last one.

“You got one life to live. Why wait until tomorrow to start it?”

“Life is not about where you start or where you end. It is about the distance you travel. Second by second, you lose the opportunity to become the person you want to be. When are you going to stop making excuses and take charge of your f*cking life?”

There is no substitute for consistent hard work, dedication and sacrifice along with being very clear where your fitness stands. A person who is just beginning his fitness journey should focus on making sure he hits the gym not less than four times every week, while an advanced lifter might have completely different goals.

It is essential to workout with self-awareness to understand how your body responds to different exercises. This will happen if you stop talking in between sets; aim at executing every move with perfect form and focus on post-workout nutrition and recovery thereafter.

Success doesn’t know these things about cold or early or tired. It just knows if you showed up or not.”

Greg believed the gym to be a metaphor for life because there is nothing subjective about that place. If you put in the hard work, you see clear, visual results that fill every man or woman with pride and confidence. When people persevere to push their limits and hence break barriers to take where they want their bodies to be, they build a strong character in the process. This makes them a person of integrity who always honors their commitments, is not afraid to take the road less traveled, and from there starts to create a life worthy of commemoration long after the person has ceased to exist.
