His father’s early death from a heart attack motivated him to get fit.

Dan Wells, 42, owns CrossFit Horsepower in Los Angeles, California.

He's pretty freaking strong. For example, he can do 53 pull-ups in a row without stopping. And he can back squat 350 pounds.

He's pretty damn fit right now, but he wasn't always.

Back when Wells was in his 20’s, his day-to-day life was pretty sedentary.
"There was a time when I sat in a cubicle for 70 to 80 hours a week working as a CPA, clicking and dragging spreadsheets," he told BuzzFeed Health. On top of all the time spent sitting at his desk, he was drinking "too much alcohol." His energy was low and he just didn't feel good. But he said it didn't seem necessary to think about his health. "I thought, 'I'm young, I'll be fine.'"
