On today's Co-Movement Gym Podcast we have Mizar Fuentes Ortega.
Mizar is the owner of OPEX Montreal, a personal training gym that works with numerous clients of all backgrounds.
As a former gymnast and gymnastics coach, Mizar found himself looking for another physical challenge. That’s when he found CrossFit in 2009. He quickly realized this was something he wanted to pursue, both as an athlete and as a coach. With the mentorship of James FitzGerald (Founder of OPEX Fitness), he qualified for the CrossFit Regionals multiple years in a row. 
Seeking to understand more, he joined the OPEX Coaches Certification program. He became a coach for individuals who are committed to long-term progress and who are not just looking for a quick fix, because he enjoys having a positive impact on people’s lives and he knows that everyone has the potential to be a stronger, healthier version of themselves.
As a coach, Mizar believes in starting with the basics. He encourages his clients to set goals and to understand their “why”, answering questions such as Why are they training? And Why is this important to them?
Mizar is quoted saying, the common excuse of “I don’t have time” no longer exists. It’s more like “It’s not a priority at the moment”.

In this episode Josh and Ricky discuss ways to improve your outlook on life and how to put a positive spin on your overall mood. Data shows that 87% of people are unhappy with their job, 40 million Americans suffer from anxiety, and 16 million people are currently suffering with some form of depression. If you fall into one of these 3 categories (or even if you don’t), then we hope by adopting some of these tips you will begin to take positive steps to improving your future.
