Wes Watson is an inspirational speaker, fitness trainer, and ex-convict.
Watson grew up in San Diego, California, skating, surfing and snowboarding, before getting involved in dealing marijuana. This began a downward spiral which ultimately led to Wes being given a 10 year term in the Californian penitentiary system.
After his release, he created Watson Fit, designed to free people from their mental prisons and smash their fitness goals. Watson’s YouTube channel, GP Penitentiary Life, inspires hundreds of thousands, with his detailed and gruesome stories inside the penal system.
Most of us look at prison as a place where people wind up after their life plans have failed. We look at it as the end of a story, not a beginning.
It doesn’t have to be, though.
For Wes Watson in California, the prison was the place where he developed himself. He transformed into a person who inspires millions through his YouTube channel full of life lessons as well as fitness training tips.
