The backstory: Montgomery Nicholas’s fitness journey began with his Olympic wrestler grandfather challenging him to push-up battles. Despite growing up in a fit household, Montgomery struggled with his weight and was bullied by kids at school. It began to impact him so much he developed disordered eating and even collapsed from malnourishment. Montgomery's parents got him a gym membership where he could learn about nutrition and weight training, in a healthy way. Now, the gym continues to be a source of positivity for Montgomery. He reminds us to enjoy the process and love your body for the progress it makes, and resilience it has. #StoriesAt24
