Aimee Everett | Building A Dynasty

"Right out of high school, I met Mike Burgener. I had never touched a weight in my life. And he just looked at a couple guys in the gym, and said, See what they are doing? I want you to do that. So I just picked up the bar and went." Aimee Everett had anything but a normal childhood. With two heroine abusing parents, Aimee was forced to fend for herself growing up. Life took a turn for the worst when her father's in-home meth lab was busted by a SWAT team as she was arriving home from school. It was after the bust that she was introduced to weightlifting, and everything it had to offer her- both physically and emotionally. "When I met coach Burgener, I finally understood what it was like to belong with somebody."
