As a fitness spokesperson, model, athlete and author of Active Girls Healthy Women, I always have to look and be my best at all times. I’ve never lost focus or motivation simply because Pat doesn’t allow me to! Pat has always been and continues to be my greatest source of motivation. He continuously motivates and encourages me to want to be the best and anything less is just not acceptable! I’ve met a lot of people throughout my fitness career and I can say with great honesty that there’s absolutely no one out there that can hold a candle to Pat. Pat just doesn’t motivate athletes; he motivates ANY type of person that does anything at a high, intense level. He is as honest, genuine and sincere as they come! Pat Downey is… SIMPLY THE BEST!
