Before FormaFit had a name, I packed a bottle of my preworkout Amplificador, and flew to London. I didn’t know exactly what I was building, but I brought it with me anyway. I snapped photos of it on public bike racks, park benches, and train station walls. I carried it through movement, across a map, through the fog of uncertainty and family drama. I didn’t get the Franklin photos but I had the bottle. That was the real story I was living. That was the signal: something was already amplifying.

What started as a simple journal entry turned into something bigger, something that reminded me of Ben Franklin. The way he tracked his virtues? I did that too, in high school, in my own way. It hit me that being thoughtful, intentional, and quietly curious… isn’t new. It’s in me. It always was.

Ben Franklin wasn’t a runner or lifter, but he lived by a mindset that still guides FormaFit: the pursuit of a long, active, and useful life. This post connects the dots between historical hustle and modern movement.
