My guest this week is Jason Ahipene Jason is the head gymnastics strength and mobility coach at movement co in Perth, Western Australia. 

Jase was working an unfulfilling office job when he found Calisthenics. 

He started training himself in the playgrounds around Perth, learning to do muscle ups, back levers, front levers, and more. His passion for bodyweight training led him into coaching. 

He started at a 24-hour gym, teaching handstands in gymnastics rings classes at a yoga studio. 

In the beginning, Jase was working with an array of different clients who had different goals. 

Although his passion was Calisthenics, it took him some time, but Jason ended up finding his tribe and working with more and more clients who wanted to learn bodyweight skills. 

We speak about Jason's transition into personal training, the long hours, the low pay and the grind. We also talked about the launch of movement Co and some of the valuable lessons Jason and his colleagues learned as the gym business grew. 

Jase is undoubtedly a passionate coach who loves the analytical side of coaching. He's all about the details, finding the next challenge and learning new skills. And boy, does he have some skills, an inspiration to all of us in our forties. 

He'll love me saying that. 

Anyway. It's nice to connect with Jason and hear more about his story finally. 

So I hope you enjoy this episode with Jason. Ahipene
