A new goal for Collin Clarke was sparked by watching a personal trainer working out in his gym.

After the 22-year-old with Down syndrome saw bodybuilder Glenn Ubelhor perfecting his routine for an upcoming competition at Bob's Gym North in Evansville, Ind., he imitated every move.

The two started training together, and a year and 60 shed pounds later, Clarke is ready to compete.

"Never give up, never quit," Clarke said when asked what he would tell others with a team. "Try hard, push harder, give it your all."
