“When I was 17, I went to Japan. I was there for three months, and the coaches made us do so much training. So, when I got back home to Adelaide, I really got into lifting weights with my coaches Chris and Matt Basso. They taught me how to lift weights properly, and ever since then, I’ve loved the gym. It’s really my happy place. A place where I go, to let go of my stress and anxiety,” said Ripley. [H/T Muscle & Fitness]
