In The RACK Podcast

In this episode of In The RACK Podcast, Chad, Nick, and Hayden dive into the benefits of pushing your limits and taking on tough challenges. At ProForm PT, we live by the “practice what you preach” philosophy, so embracing hard things is second nature to us.

 We share specific ways we challenge ourselves and how we make these challenges a priority every day. Hayden discusses his intense training for an upcoming marathon and triathlon. Chad explains how he structures his day to prepare for an upcoming bodybuilding competition. And with another child on the way, Nick talks about balancing his training with family time.

 We know life gets busy and it’s easy to lose focus, but this episode will inspire you to keep pushing forward for personal and professional growth.

 Stick around to the end for a preview of upcoming events, including our ProForm Christmas Party and our once-a-year open enrollment announcement!

We pulled an audible In The RACK today!! Instead of a workshop that we had planned, we decided to do an IG Live Q&A with Chad, Nick and Hayden. Prior to our IG Live we put out a poll asking what people wanted us to talk about.

We did get a good amount of questions from some of our patients and followers ranging from cardio, diet and nutrition after the age of 40, stretching techniques as well as a couple of questions surround our model here at ProForm. 

We certainly could have answered more questions, however it was getting late considering we started at 6pm 😂

We did have fun answering these questions. Make sure to listen to the end as there are a lot of hidden gems in this one. If you like the IG Live Q&A then let us know as we would be happy to continue these going forward.

In this Episode Chad and Nick along with Karyssa meet up with Derek Morgan. Derek is the general manager of the gym behind our facility called Choice Fitness. If you are local then you may be familiar with other gyms that is has been in the past. Previous to Choice Fitness, it was known as Boston Sports Club (BSC), Latitudes, and even before that it started as a Gold’s Gym. 

We have known Derek over the last 2 years since Choice Fitness has moved in and we are very grateful for all of the changes that they have made. The way that BSC left it was unacceptable and still leaves a sour taste in people’s mouths. Choice Fitness has not only created a better community environment over there, but they have also been making a lot of changes to best benefit their members. 

Dr. Chad has been a member of all of the gyms it has been and we will say that this gym is probably in the best condition that it has been in years. Not to mention that they have adapted to the times of today and offer strength and conditioning types of training as well as boxing classes. We are impressed with their progress over the last 2 years and continue to look forward its evolution.
