Randy and I are going way back in this one, from our early days of running around as kids to where we are now in our fitness journeys. We’re talking wins, struggles, lessons learned, and the moments that shaped us. Oh, and we’ve got two big reveals: we’re teaming up for Hyrox Boston and Randy’s dropping a special announcement you don’t want to miss. This one’s about family, resilience, and chasing big goals together.

In this special Father’s Day solo episode, I reflect on the man who raised me, my father, an immigrant who came to this country with nothing but grit and a dream and how his sacrifices shaped the father I’m trying to be today.

From the lessons he taught in silence to the strength he carried without recognition, I share what it means to be his son… and now, a father to two daughters of my own. I also talk about the emotional experience of filming my first Father’s Day strength class with Tonal, and what it meant to have my girls there, watching.

This one’s about legacy, fatherhood, and the reps that matter most.

In this first episode, I’m keeping it simple and real. I’m Luis, a dad, fitness lover, and someone who’s learning to grow through every rep — in my home gym and in life.

I talk a little bit about why I started this podcast, what you can expect in future episodes, and why conversations about fitness, fatherhood, and mental health matter now more than ever.

This isn’t about being perfect — it’s about showing up, being honest, and doing the work, one rep at a time.

Thanks for tuning in. Let’s grow together. 💪🏽

🎧 Real reps. Real growth. Real life.
