Episode #68 — Everything Old Is New Again, with Elevation’s Serj Khajadourian
In this episode of the Elevate Yourself podcast, Rob welcomes back Serj Khajadourian for a conversation on why so many “new” fitness trends look a lot like the fundamentals we’ve known all along. From protein and real food to strength training, grip strength, and Zone 2 cardio, Serj breaks down why the basics continue to stand the test of time — and why they’re resurfacing as the foundation of effective health and fitness.
With decades of experience coaching and leading in the fitness industry, Serj shares why keeping things simple works, how consistency outperforms complexity, and what he’s learned from training thousands of individuals over the years. He also discusses the key traits that separate people who stick with change from those who struggle to maintain it.
As the new year approaches, Serj offers grounded advice for anyone looking to start fresh — what to focus on, what to ignore, and how to build habits that actually last. He also shares insights into his new role at Elevation and what excites him most about the year ahead.
This episode is a reminder that progress doesn’t require perfection — just consistency, clarity, and a commitment to the fundamentals.
