Sorrentino said his fierce exercise regimen helped pass the time and stay positive. He especially hit the gym on holidays when he was alone and said he wanted to “do something to make my future self proud.”

Sorrentino was released from prison on Sept. 12 and celebrated the next phase of his life with a pizza party.

“We are elated to finally close this chapter of our life. Thank you to our family, friends and fans for the continuous love and support during this time, it brought us so much peace and comfort,” he said in a statement at the time.
