PAC Talk with Pieter Vodden

The foods you eat have big effects on your health and quality of life. Eating healthy can be fairly simple, however the rise in popular "diets" and dieting trends has caused confusion. These trends have distracted us from several basic nutrition principles; how many calories do I need a day, how much protein do any today, how much carbs and how much fats relative to that.

Today, I am joined by two members of our staff, Tyler Manzo and Alena Henke who share their personal dieting experiments and experiences from the ketogenic diet to the potato diet, where you eat only plain potatoes for three to five days.

At Pharos Athletic Club, we believe the value of gym memberships are not tied to the costs, but what value it is offering to its members.

Before we opened the doors to our own facility we noticed our friends and family owned multiple memberships around Los Angeles. They would do their yoga at one gym, their cycling at another and their CrossFit on the other side of town.

Gym members want to know they can lift, they want to be able to do their cardio, they want to work on their movement, and they even want to use machines to strengthen underdeveloped muscles.

So what we saw when we developed Pharos was an opportunity to put everything under one roof and make it more affordable. We believe in multiplicity. We believe there is a place for all these things. We don't have a dogma for first athletic club. It's not that is one way. It's that there are many ways and we all have our own.

The values we choose create the future we will experience. Values, chosen carefully, can empower us to grow and develop when they are directed toward a specific purpose. At Pharos Athletic Club we have 7 Pillars that reflect the values we live by, today and every day:

1 SHOW UP

2 BUILD OTHERS

3 NOTICE THE LITTLE THINGS

4 CHASE KNOWLEDGE 

5 ANTICIPATE THE CURRENTS

6 MOVE WITH PURPOSE

7 LEAD WITH LIGHT

It's not about the workout, it's about the sensation you have in their body when you leave the building. No one remembers the workout but, they remember feeling great and that starts with the moment they walk into the building.

What happens when a meathead and a jock start a gym?

You end up creating a energetic group environment and programs that undoubtedly motivate and inspire you to reach farther, push harder, and get in the best shape of your life.

Pharos Athletic Club is a hybrid center of excellence built on three anchors we believe to be essential to high performance life

MECHANICS | STRENGTH | CONDITIONING

We started three years ago. And we're at the point now where we're undergoing our third expansion in two years, becoming what was once a small gym and now one of the largest gym's in Los Angeles.

Even though we can't teach every class anymore connecting with our members is an essential pillar for us Pharos. Today I'm joined by my co-owners and cofounders Jeffrey Scarborough and Emylee Covell as we dive into who we are and how we came together to create Pharos Athletic Club

Hey, guys, this is Pieter Vodden and I'm one of the co-owners of Pharos Athletic Club in Los Angeles, and I wanted to welcome you to our new podcast, The Pharos Fit Podcast.

Our gym exists as a space in which we're trying to cure the fitness industry. My co-founders Jeffrey Scarborough and Emylee Covell and I saw a lot of things wrong with the finished industry. We were frustrated with a lot of things and we really wanted to build a gym that provides something new, something buried, something educational, something interesting and really helped people achieve what they are trying to achieve.

Our purpose is to create the best fitness path for people. We started this podcast because we want to stay in touch with our members as we grow as as a gym while finding a way to stay to connect with new audience members outside the walls of Pharos Echo Park.
