Welcome back! This is Episode 002! Let's go!

In this solo episode I share a quote that has a deep meaning to me, which is "Be a voice, not an echo." by Albert Einstein. I relate this quote to a current topic the United States currently has at the forefront, which is #stopasianhate and the Asian-American Pacific Islander (AAPI) community. This topic has deep and meaningful ties to me since I am of Filipino descent.

I share my thoughts on something that happened personally to my wife recently in our local community, my thoughts on how #stopasianhate affects my wife, daughter and myself, my holistic approach to total fitness and the importance of building community and your tribe.

Welcome to the first episode of the Joe Bala Fitness Podcast! I am so excited that you have decided to take some time to tune in, open your mind and your hearts to learn more about my story as a coach/trainer/athlete/human. 

My first official guest is my good friend Dan Benton, who I used to work for at ClubSport San Jose in San Jose, CA. He opened the door for me as a fitness professional, when I decided to switch careers from engineering to fitness. Dan mentored me on all things fitness - what it took to be a personal trainer, a fitness coach, a group fitness instructor, and eventually a lead coach. He essentially paved the way for me to grow into who I am today as a fitness pro. 

Dan and I discuss what his journey into fitness entailed, what his passion and purpose are as a coach/trainer/business owner, what his approach and philosophy are to coaching & training, as well as his views on God and how his relationship with him guides him daily in life.
