A real quick podcast for you guys to keep you up-to-date with how we plan on keeping you MVNG during the COVID-19 pandemic. 

The boys go on a tour of fried chicken sandwiches in CLT and get to know long-time member, Mike Ural, a lot better.

In what is our longest podcast to date, we think you guys are going to really enjoy this mobile-podcast episode.

So for those of you who haven't had a chance to meet Sarah Isaac, our long time General Manger, this is going to be a solid idea as to what you have to look forward to when she returns.

Isaac has been on maternity leave with her newborn daughter, Rivera and we wanted to catch up to see how life as has been and bring her up to speed on some of the things that have changed at Urban MVMNT.

Leighanne is originally from the dirty ROC (Rochester, NY for those of you not in the know), but has resided in Mooresville for a large chunk of her life.

After trying out the lazy beach life of Wilmington, NC - she found herself looking for more hustle + bustle and ended up in the Queen City.

A pediatric nurse and passionate fitnesser (that's def. a word), Leighann brings an awesome interview in this weeks podcast that I think you're going to enjoy.

You can find Julie working out in our LIFT+MOVE classes on a regular basis.

She can also be found running through the streets of Uptown and saving old people who fall at Jeni's Ice Cream.

We asked Julie to come on the show to talk about why she opts to do a little bit of everything fitness wise in CLT, why you shouldn't talk to her in the middle of her workout and how she can help save you lots of money by keeping your parents + grandparents out of a nursing home.

Jenna is from Philly - the city of brotherly love.

And crazy obnoxious football fans.

But she doesn't fall in that category.  Jenna's life took her a different route...corporate marketing that lead her to CLT and then the realization that she had a passion for the fitness industry.

She went to work for the local Charlotte sensation SweatNET, coaches our AM classes at Urban MVMNT and is also a trainer at F45.

We cut it up with Jeanna and get an insiders perspective to the fitness scene in Charlotte, what works vs. what doesn't and more. 

Mike has been a member at Urban MVMNT for 6 years now here's a few of the things we've learned about him over the years:

1.  He's had great success in various aspects of the residential home marketing here in CLT

2. Jeanne (his wife) is a complete badass 

3. All ski ergs, assault bikes and rowers need to fear for their life when Mike gets on there during a SPRINT workout

We sat down with Mike to get his story, talk the residential house buying scene as it stands in Charlotte and get Mike's perspective on the various workout styles we throw at you guys here at Urban MVMNT. 

Matt Dengler is a local CLT entrepreneur who has seen some serious success with his nutrition company startup - RxRD.

Matt is a registered dietician in both NC + SC and is currently the only local RD signed to Orangetheory Fitness to provide nutritional lectures and services to their members.

He's also the preferred nutrition solution for Urban MVMNT as well.

We had Matt on the podcast to jam on nutrition obviously, but we wanted to get the inside scoop too  -

What does make pig out on when he's had one too many adult beverages?

Could he kill a man with an axe if he had to?

Does he like all the growth in Charlotte?

Marc Henderson is a lot of things - tall, charismatic, fit, intelligent...the list goes on

One thing Marc is not - immune to the random injuries that happen to fitness enthusiasts. 

After suffering an achilles injury before joining Urban MVMNT, Marc was concerned that his mountain biking and love for strength training days were over.

Deuce and I jam with Marc on how he ended up joining what's probably the best workout in CLT and we get deep into workout design and the elements that make up a great workout.  

Dan Burdi is important for two reasons.

1) He's one of Sarah's only friends that she's proven to exist

2) He's an accomplished entrepreneur who amidst several of his successful businesses, decided to create a boutique co-working space in the heart of South End.

Dan sits down with the Urban crew and discusses why he decided to open up a smaller, more intimate style co-working space when it seems that the industry giants like WeWork are consuming all the limelight.  

He's also very well versed in the city dynamics of Charlotte and shares probably one of the most interesting strategies I've heard to alleviate traffic in the city.
