This is The Do It For Yourself Podcast.  Each week I sit down with someone who is doing it for themselves and chasing a dream they just couldn't neglect.  This is often speakers, entrepreneurs, or athletes.  They all share one thing in common, they are overcoming challenges and never giving up.

 

This week my guest is Cody Loeffler.    Cody is the owner of Opex Upper Main Line in Paoli PA.  Opex hosts a different training atmosphere for its clients and athletes.  There are no formal classes, it is a much more individualized training atmosphere.  Cody came from a CrossFit background but eventually found a different way he wanted to take his training and coaching style.  Cody didn't like having to follow the "rules" and stay within the box, which could be why he initially left his teaching job to pursue this journey of coaching.  

 

Eventually, Cody broke the mold and launched Union Forged Fitness, which was his first gym that incorporated training clients, nutritional services and much more.  Cody believes in looking at each athlete's needs in a case by case basis.  There is no one plan that will work for every athlete across the board.  Unfortunately, Cody and his funders didn't see eye to eye on some things with Union Forged and he needed to pivot his path slightly.  This was where Opex entered and Cody couldn't be happier.  

 

It was great to reconnect and chat with Cody and I look forward to getting together again soon to hear how Opex has grown.

 

Please enjoy this weeks interview with Cody.
