It was just another day for a 22-year-old with Down syndrome, sitting behind the desk at the gym he works at.
That was, until he looked up and witnessed something unfold in the next room.
It was personal trainer Glenn Ubelhor who worked at the gym too, practicing his routine for an upcoming bodybuilding competition.
It fascinated the young man, so much so he'd go and copy Glen's moves after he'd left.
Meet Collin Clarke - Bob's Gym North in Evansville, Indiana
Then, Collin made a big decision....he was going to compete in a bodybuilding competition too!
After only one year of training, and thanks to that magic moment at Bob's Gym North in Evansville, Indiana, Collin is ready to realise his dream as a competitve bodybuilder in just a few days!
Collin and Glenn are now great friends, and their year together has seen Collin lose 30 kilograms!
And no surprises here, the training has also made him happier and more engaged with life outside the gym.
Ubelhor says Collin is a focused individual: "He's just hungry...he's never nervous. He's just excited."
"How many of us get to live our dream?" Ubelhor says. "That's going to happen for Collin."
Collin will compete in the novice division to AC/DC's Back in Black in the November 14 competition.
And as for Colin? Well he's over the moon.
"I'm so happy doing this", he said.
"Bodybuilding is in my blood."
Good luck Collin!
"Stay Fit, Stay Flexed!"
