      • What Fitness Is Missing

        In this inaugural episode, Spencer Nix asks, "What’s the point of all this exercise?"

        Spencer is the owner and "chief researcher" at Behavior & Performance Research - a private gym located in Dallas Texas that has operated since 2008. Spencer holds an advanced degree in neuroscience and applied cognition, has traveled the country coaching coaches for over 10 years & is here to share how we might bring together the worlds of psychology and biology under one roof.

        In this monologue, Spencer discusses:

        • How athletic success might not bring the happiness you think it will
        • How current fitness operates the same as "minute clinics" and "tele-docs" do for health care
        • An alternative, multidimensional model created 45 years ago
        • How to immediately incorporate it into your own gym
        • BPR's own psychometric that you can borrow and copy
