Brandon of SwampRabbit Crossfit and Jacob (owner of River City Fit) are colleagues of mine that share a similar experience, understanding, and vision for serving people at a high level in the fitness space.

Check out their stories, hear their business insight, and learn what about sustainability of a fitness business in 2022 on this episode of the Motives Life Podcast.

Meet Angie another colleague of our professional Active Life Network that shares a similar mission and vision for serving people that fell in the gap between fitness and healthcare.

Angie shares her story of losing 60lbs, being a military wife, and being a lover of Crossfit who eventually buys a Crossfit gym.

We had a chance to talk shop about how fitness spaces like Carlisle Core Fitness & Health in Pennsylvania and Motives are changing the industry. 

Why is this the future? 

What is our intention behind this vision? 

Who does this vision help?

Carlisle Core Fitness and Health wants individuals that have struggled, failed, and have been told they'll never be able to do something again, to have an individualized solution to their individual needs. 

We at Motives align with that. Tune in and listen to the full conversation.

I sat down with the Owner of Courage Fitness in Durham North Carolina, Dave Rubin, while I was in Boston a few months back for a Mastermind. 

Dave has been in the fitness field since 1994 and has worked in Globogyms and became an owner of a Crossfit gym. 

Now? Dave and Head Coach of Courage Fitness Nik Mula, share deeper insight on why they have shifted from crossfit to the same model that Motives has adapted over the past 2 years.

It's all about solutions, solving higher level problems, and providing the highest level of service possible so people can reclaim and maintain their active lifestyles.

Nik shares stories of a few clients Courage has served that thought they would never be able to do what they loved again or continue to do it as they age.

Listen to this podcast to get a deeper understanding of why we do what we do and other fitness spaces that are aligned with the same vision.

CrossFit competitive athlete, Financial Adviser/Coach with Ameriprise Financial, and Father, Corey Lunney, shares a part of his story on this week's Motives Life Episode.

Alexa, Mike, and Dan discuss how they bring fun to fitness. 

Sean co-founded the Axel Group in August of 2017 with his childhood friend turned business partner, Len Forsyth. Six years prior, Sean was a rising star at one of the top global recruiting and staffing agencies. During his tenure there, he was promoted from recruiting trainee to recruiter, then ultimately to account manager. His ascent was not surprising. Sean won multiple sales contests, promoted multiple direct reports, and facilitated recruitment and sales training for the local, regional and corporate offices. Though Sean has won multiple individual achievement awards -- including being named to NJBIZ's acclaimed 40 under 40 list -- the accomplishment he’s most proud of was when the group he was leading won “Team of the Year”.

But Sean has always been a team player - even as far back as college where he was a member of the Rutgers wrestling team. Humble brag alert: not only did the team finish Number 22 and Number 9 in the USA Today Coaches poll, Sean was the wrestling representative on the SAAC and was the athletic representative on the university-wide student government. Simply put, Sean has been leading since before he stepped foot into the working world.

When Sean isn't working or spending time with his family, he spends his free time volunteering and giving back to the community. Sean now coaches wrestling at Shore Regional High School and mentors kids to prepare them for college athletics and life-beyond. He also volunteers his time coaching the local youth program, and for 10 years from 2009-2019, was the voice of Rutgers Wrestling serving as a color commentator through Rutgers Athletics’ internet television network having called matches that have been aired on the Big Ten Network, BTN2GO, FLOwrestling, and Fox College Sports.

Sean has been married to his high-school sweetheart Molly since 2014. They live in Tinton Falls, NJ where they are raising two children, Axel and Lola — who despite their tender ages, are excelling at their daily mat drills.
