Sam Bartlett, founder of Exis, a premier fitness and wellness service in New York City that brings expert personal training, nutrition counseling, and recovery sessions, joins Dr. Anthony Rossi to explore the keys to starting a fitness journey, sustaining consistency, and fostering client motivation.
