Today we are with Robin Reider, one of our top female coaches. Our show today is going to be a bit different because I am going to be interviewing both Robin and Emylee. We will be highlighting Robins's story which isn't just unique but truly a heroic and fascinating tale. Emylee will be telling the tale. But it's not just about Robin's tale but about how the thing that brought us together, is fitness. Robin is a powerlifting instructor that not only coaches and teaches at Pharos Athletic Club, check out those Saturday morning sessions with Robin, but uses the sport to empower and train individuals in person and online.

We are honored to have Robin coaching at Pharos Athletic club and excited to share her stories on The Pharos Fit Podcast today.

This week I sit down with self-defense expert and entrepreneur Tony Blauer. Tony has spent his life specializing in the art of self-defense and is the founder of Blauer Tactical Systems. Through his SPEAR System, he teaches his students how to “detect, diffuse and defend” and his courses “ Be Your Own Bodyguard “ and “Know Fear” have helped thousands of people from all walks of life manage their fear and turn awareness to advantage. His scientific look at how we can protect ourselves may change your perspective on what self-defense is and no doubt alter how you behave should a confrontational situation ever arise. I don’t know of anyone should doesn’t need to listen to this Podcast or wouldn’t want to protect themselves, their families, and their community in times of trouble. This one is well worth your time! Enjoy!

This week Pieter sits down with Brandon and discusses “training actors”. We hate the term “celebrity trainer”, it’s a meaningless statement and not credible. But there are considerations, problems, helpful hints, and ideas that experience working with actors/actresses brings. Whether it is a transformation for a role or long-term training, we present some concepts that may be of use to you if you are a coach in this situation or an actor looking for a coach. We hope you find it helpful!

In this week's episode, Emylee threw me a curve ball and asked me a difficult question. I wasn’t prepared for it but it forced me to dig deep and it turned into one of my favorite and most passionate podcasts. It’s our 3-year anniversary, it’s been a roller coaster of a year with endless obstacles and it was time to ask ourselves, “If you would have known then what you know now, would you still have done it?” We hope you enjoy this one, it’s gets a little heated ;)

This week I sit down with our “Director of Coaching Development” Noah David and nerd out over our favorite topic: Programming. We talk about the 2020 CrossFit Games, performance, aesthetics, the hybrid athlete and the future of programming at PHAROS Athletic Club. This was a lot of fun, almost as much fun as me and Noah riding our motorcycles in to the sunset whilst listening to Reo Speedwagon...almost. Enjoy and thanks for listening!

On both a personal and professional level values are ultimately the most important thing you have. The decisions you make, your emotional response to your daily activities and the growth of your business are governed by your values. Steer your ship too far from them and you are lost at sea with something that no longer looks like your vision . The values contained in the Code of the West are old but I find the need for them has never been more apparent. They ground me, council me and guide me towards the man, father, husband and leader I strive to be. They are lights that lead me home and at the same time forward. In this episode we delve in to the first 5 of these values . With guests Brandon Rees and Emylee Covell.
