What have you done since High School?

Agape wrote a really nice message on the Slug Instagram when the Slug 1 “White Toes” came out. Not seeing the name in a while, I went on her page to see how she was doing. One look at her profile and I found she had been killing it! She had played college soccer, traveled around the world, became a teacher, became a coach, got married, had a child, and had become very serious about her fitness, launching her own line of athletic wear. Wow, what did you do since High School? I was greatly drawn to the effortlessness in her exercise videos. That’s the cool thing about fitness art: the proof is in the pudding. You can’t just talk about it, because the results are right there … physically in front of you. I respect that a lot. I reached out to Agape one afternoon, and we got on the phone. After a brief catch up, I told her about Slug and we discussed the possibility of working together. It was a sweet and concise phone call. We discussed some ideas. We discuss some preferences. And ultimately, we decided that the most authentic setting for her story would be at one of the many gyms she attends. Specifically for locational convenience, we chose the Crunch Fitness on Travis Avenue in Staten Island. I have never been to this Crunch Fitness which is crazy because I think every single person on the East Coast of the United States has attended this gym. I was both nervous and excited to go.
