Everyday Strength

Megan and Joey (who met at the gym and are now engaged!) share their personal and joint stories about strength, fitness, and life. Megan works in HR for the City of Norfolk, VA; and Joey is a Personnel Specialist Petty Officer 3rd class (PS3) in the US Navy. We talk about building a successful relationship at the gym, using functional fitness to prep for military service, taking first steps into lifting, and lots more.

Chris is the founder and CEO of a web development and marketing company, and a dad of 2 boys. We talk about what it's like coaching your own kids, balancing business ownership with being a dad and finding time for yourself, and the role that sports play in life as a kid and as an adult. Fair warning, there is ample use of 90s slag terminology throughout this episode.

You can also find Chris (and his kids and some entertaining stories) on Instagram at @chris_langille... and of course in the gym.
