We have a new season upon us and with that, change is bound to happen.  On our last podcast, it was a bit of a farewell to Hayden.  And with her departure, we now welcome in Max Smith our newest trainer!  Max gives us his background, how he ended up here at Momentum and what drives him.  Hope you guys enjoy and be sure to welcome Max to sunny Florida!  

On this episode, we have Hayden going solo, breaking down all aspects of wellness coaching and behavior.  She goes into detail about what we experience on a daily basis during our journey to a fitter, healthier lifestyle and how to combat all the challenges and overcoming adversity.  Hope you guys enjoy!

On todays episode, we have Blayne discussing the women's powerlifting group called Empower.  He has brought two guests with him, Alexa & Renee who participate in Empower, to discuss their experiences within the program.  They go over not just the physical but the mental benefits from being in the program and the community aspect from the class.   

Today, we have Hayden and Kent having a bit of a roundtable discussion about the hidden benefits of working out.  While we may tend to focus on the aesthetics, losing numbers on the scale, or how much we are lifting, there are plenty of other benefits that can be even more important.  Hayden and Kent give some examples of some of their clients wins along with some benefits they have experienced as well from working out that you may not have thought of.  

On our podcast today, Kent and Hayden discuss the importance of having a quality strength & conditioning program for todays youth.  In todays world, youth sports is dominated by club ball, travel teams, and early specialization in one sport.  Hayden and Kent breakdown the importance that strength & conditioning can have in preventing injury, translating to increased athleticism on the field as well as fostering confidence and increasing motivation as youth navigate their growing bodies and sports journey.  

Rare treat today!  We get to sit down with Joe Annotti to discuss his new clothing company Skull & Bogeys Golf Co.  We breakdown the mission behind the merch, how it all came about, as well at the challenges he has encountered once he decided to jump into the retail clothing space.  This podcast was very insightful and we are excited to see where this new found adventure leads Joe in the future!  

On todays podcast we have Blayne sitting down with Kent to discuss the upcoming Golf Mobility workshop at Momentum on April 18th. This will be a free workshop geared towards the golfer who may be losing mobility in their golf swing as they age and even those seasoned golfers who could gain a few more tricks to add into their current golf program.  

Special podcast today with Loanna Diaz who is our pelvic health specialist.  While this podcast is mainly geared towards our ladies who are pregnant or postpartum, there is a wealth of information here that can benefit men as well.  The bottom line is that anyone can have pelvic floor dysfunction and may be unaware of the symptoms that would make pelvic floor therapy beneficial.  Give this podcast a listen as there is great information for both sexes that they can take away from this podcast, and if you are interested in working with Loanna, her information will be listed below.

We have a very informative and important podcast for you today.  We finally get Melissa, one of our trainers, who also works for Who We Play For to come on the podcast and discuss the importance of heart screenings for todays youth.  Sudden cardiac arrest in youth is a silent killer and WWPF is leading the charge for accessible, affordable and preventable healthcare.  Melissa is in charge of hosting screenings in the St Johns county area for youth entering or in high school and as of this podcast, the screening is being written into law for high school athletics.  If you are the parent of a youth athlete, you will definitely want to give this a listen!

On todays podcast, I sit and talk with Hayden about the newly formed MFit Run Club!  Here at Momentum, we are always looking for ways to reach out to the community and we now have our very own run club.  The run club is free to the community and is for all ages and abilities.  At each run club we will have multiple trainers attending that will guide you on the run, and answer any fitness related questions that you may have!
