## Resource

When Matt Curmi first walked into Sandpoint Strength, he was intimidated, out of shape, and unsure if he belonged there at all. What most people didn’t know was that before the 6am classes, Matt had already lived a life most people only read about — crossing the Atlantic on a sailboat as a teenager, surviving hurricanes at sea, living in multiple countries, training under Michelin-star chefs, and eventually immigrating to the United States with a backpack and a dog. In this conversation, we talk about adventure, resilience, parenting, travel, cooking, staying calm under pressure, and why fitness isn’t really about becoming the best athlete in the room — it’s about building the kind of life you want to keep living. This one goes far beyond fitness.
