Side Quest Podcast

In this episode I interview Jason from Anyman Fitness.  Jason is a middle school math teacher but when he is not teaching basic algebra he is helping clients lose weight and gain muscle and strength.  In this episode we discuss where Jason is from, how he got his start on his road to weight loss and what inspired him to start his blog and coaching on Fitocracy. 

We also discuss his theories on weight loss, what motivates Jason, how he uses math to help clients and how his teaching of teenagers helps him as a coach.  We touch on lean gains and some of the pioneers in that style of weight loss and muscle gain as well as a little forray into Intermittent Fasting.

Jason has a new fitness class starting on Fitocracy next week.  And is also posting a new blog post about Moms who kick ass.

In our second interview we talk with another Pittsburgh trainer, Kevin Fulton.  He is the owner of Team Fulton Fitness and we discuss his background, his ideas on training, how he helps women during and after pregnancy, and a little discussion on wrestling at the end.

Chuck Gross lost 200 pounds and has kept it off over the last few years.  Here we discuss his story and how this decision came about and what changes he has made in his life as well as his advice to anyone looking to make a change.
