Today on Productive Joy, Dr. Christie interviews fitness trainer, gym owner, author, and mindset coach Jason Greenhaw, a longtime personal trainer who opened a private personal training studio in 2005. Jason explains how he left college and had a short stint as a prison guard after seeing a “now hiring personal trainers” sign at Bally Total Fitness, then built a career motivating clients—often older adults focused on overall fitness and weight loss. 

He shares why he wrote “Monday Mindsets: A 52-Week Mindset Makeover for People Who Hate Mondays,” inspired by Les Brown’s comments about widespread job dissatisfaction and the “Sunday scaries,” and describes the book’s 52 short chapters with reflection questions and calls to action. Jason emphasizes perspective, controlling mindset and attitude, and boosting joy by encouraging others.
