You Need Something to Train For

While preparing for my upcoming HYROX race, I realized something important about fitness — and about life.

When you have something you're preparing for, everything changes.

Your workouts have meaning.
Your discipline has purpose.
Your energy comes alive.

But when you're just “living the lifestyle” with no goal, no deadline, and nothing on the horizon, fitness can start to feel repetitive… even boring.

In this episode I talk about why having a challenge, competition, or goal can completely transform your fitness journey.

Not because the event itself matters that much — but because of the person you become while preparing for it.

We talk about:

• Why training for HYROX reignited my excitement for fitness
• The difference between maintaining a lifestyle and preparing for something
• Why humans need deadlines and goals to feel alive
• How competitions and challenges bring color back into fitness
• Why the real reward isn’t the event — it’s who you become along the way

Whether it's a marathon, a HYROX race, a 90-day transformation, or any personal challenge — having something to work toward changes everything.

If your fitness journey feels stale right now, this episode might be exactly what you need.

Everyone wants to know what it feels like to finally be lean.

To be ripped. To have the body you've been working toward.

So I'm going to tell you the truth.

Because I've been there. 6% body fat. Veins down to my abs. The most shredded I've ever been in my life.

And what I found on the other side might surprise you.

In this episode I share what getting truly lean actually feels like — the good, the unexpected, and the thing nobody in fitness will ever admit.

What we cover:

• What it genuinely feels like to be at your leanest
• Why you adjust to every body type — including the one you're chasing
• The comparison trap that never goes away no matter how lean you get
• Why the body exposes you instead of changing you
• Why peace has to come before the six pack — not after
• What real healing actually looks like and where it comes from

This isn't your typical fitness motivation episode.

This is the conversation your coach is too scared to have with you.

Because the truth is — if you don't have peace right now in the body you're in — you won't find it on the other side of a transformation either.

The game has always been interior. The body is just where we practice it.

Ready to work on both — the body AND everything underneath it?

Spring Into Summer 90 Day Rebuild is live now. Limited spots remaining.

A goodie here for anyone on the fence about my program, or any program for that matter.

From the car on this one, no show notes, enjoy.

When you start a new fitness journey, the beginning feels exciting.

Motivation is high.
Energy is high.
You feel ready to change everything.

But what nobody talks about is the phase that comes next.

The withdrawal.
The irritation.
The moment where the excitement fades and the work begins.

I call this the quiet war before the wins.

In this episode we talk about:

• Why the first few weeks of a fitness journey feel harder than expected
• The nervous system shift that happens when you change your habits
• Why most people quit during the “quiet war” phase
• How pushing through the early resistance leads to real momentum
• Why discipline becomes easier after the first few weeks

Every meaningful transformation has a phase where nothing feels exciting anymore.

That’s when the real work begins.

And that’s when the real wins are built.

Today marks Day 1 of my 90-Day Rebuild.

I’m helping a small group of clients rebuild their body, habits, and lifestyle between now and summer.

Two spots remain.

If you’re ready to stop restarting and finally build a body you’re proud of:

There’s a difference between transforming your body…
and building a life you can actually sustain.

In this episode, I talk about the day I decided to go all-in on my transformation during COVID — 100 perfect days, zero missed macros, zero skipped workouts, insane discipline… and what happened after.

Because nobody talks about what comes next.

What happens when you get the result?
What happens when strict becomes your identity?
What happens when discipline creates tension instead of peace?

In this episode we break down:

• Why extreme strictness works — but doesn’t last
• The hidden trap of “just maintain it”
• The difference between operating from pain vs operating from peace
• How to build a sustainable 90-day transformation
• Why self-respect beats self-hate every time
• How to make fitness a lifestyle instead of a phase

The goal isn’t just a 90-day result.

The goal is peace with food.
Peace with the gym.
Peace with yourself.

And from that place — real, lasting change.

Enrollment opens March 3rd.
Runs through June 1st.

I’m working with 5 people only.

If you’re ready to build a body you’re proud of — without destroying your relationship with yourself — this is your window.

Spring starts today. Summer is exactly 90 days away.

And the person you want to be by June 1st is built right now. In March. In the quiet season before summer hits and everyone wishes they had started sooner.

In this episode I announce my Spring Into Summer 90 Day Rebuild — the most intentional program I've ever built. Starting March 3rd. Running all the way to June 1st. Five spots only. One on one with me.

I talk about:

• Why 90 days is the perfect window to completely transform your body before summer
• What makes this program different from every other fitness program you've tried
• Why fitness has to become a way of life — not just a workout you do for a few weeks
• How I'm personally training for my HyRox race on Easter weekend and what that has to do with your transformation
• The real feeling of seeing your body change for the first time — and why that moment is closer than you think

This isn't a course. This isn't a generic meal plan.

This is me. Working with you. Every day. For 90 days.

Custom training on Trainerize. Nutrition and macro coaching. Daily accountability. Weekly check ins. And the deeper inner work that actually makes the results stick long term.

75 transformations. Hundreds of clients. And I've never been more dialed in than right now.

If you're tired of saying you'll start next month — this is your moment.

Every man goes through it.

The moment when who you were doesn't fit anymore — but who you're becoming isn't fully formed yet.

That's the in-between phase.

And most people, when they get there, do the one thing that keeps them stuck forever — they go back to what used to work.

In this episode I get personal about my own in-between season right now. The marriage. Stopping world travel. The business shifting. The injury. The habits that no longer serve me. And what I'm learning about building stability on the other side of everything changing at once.

If you've ever felt like you don't know who you are anymore — this one is for you.

In this episode:

Why the in-between phase happens and what triggers it

What most people do wrong when life starts changing

Why clinging to old habits in a new season destroys your growth

How to find stability when everything feels uncertain

Why the only way forward is through — not back

This is the conversation nobody is having in the health and fitness space. Because real transformation isn't just about your body. It's about who you're becoming while your body changes.

Want To Work With Justin?

If you're in your own in-between phase right now — feeling the pull between who you were and who you're being called to become — and you know that your body and your health are part of that next chapter —

I want to work with you.

My 90-day one on one coaching program isn't just a meal plan and a workout routine. It's a complete rebuild — body, habits, mindset, and identity. Real coaching from someone who is living this journey alongside you.

Not hype. Not a highlight reel. Just real work with a real coach who actually cares about where you end up.

Here's how to get started:

DM me on Instagram @justinaguirre7

Tell me a little about your season right now and where you want to go. I'll respond personally and we'll figure out if we're a good fit together.

Spots are limited because I work closely with everyone I take on.

If this episode hit you — that's not an accident. That's the moment. Don't scroll past it.

Have you ever noticed that when things finally start working… that’s when you ruin it?

You lose 10 pounds — and then slowly drift back.
You build momentum — and then ease up.
You make progress — and then somehow return to where you started.

It’s not laziness.
It’s not lack of discipline.

It’s identity.

In this episode, I break down why self-sabotage happens when success feels unfamiliar — and how your old identity quietly pulls you back to what feels safe.

If you’ve ever:

• Lost weight and gained it back
• Made progress and then regressed
• Felt uncomfortable when life started improving

This episode will help you understand what’s really going on.

Self-sabotage isn’t a motivation problem.
It’s an identity problem.

And identity can be rebuilt.

If you’re tired of restarting and ready to build an identity that actually holds…

DM me on Instagram @justinaguirre7 to have a free call with me and see if we're a good fit.

Let’s stop visiting the next level — and start living there.

What's the Biggest Reason You're Not Losing Weight?

(It's Not Willpower)

Day ~7/40 in my Lent series: Through 75+ client transformations, I've seen the real blocker isn't discipline, motivation, or calories—it's deep down not believing you deserve the change.

We chase external fixes, but when self-worth erodes, everything crumbles: slips feel inevitable, motivation fades, and the cycle restarts. True progress starts with reclaiming that inner belief—worthiness isn't earned by looking a certain way; it's already yours.

This episode dives into why faith in yourself (even unseen) beats out-grinding life, how to hold it through hard days, and why it leads to lasting body + peace. If you've fallen off and can't figure out why... this is for you.

Raspy voice & cold included—real talk only. 💪DM @justinaguirre7 "WORTHY" for podcast listener discount on 1:1 coaching—we'll build belief that sticks.

Leave a 5-star rating/review if this hit your soul—it helps the show reach more people stuck in the loop. Much love.
