October 20, 2023 Corporate Sales to Kettlebell King || Rick Chavez || Episode 15
You would never guess after taking a class or training with Rick that he wasn't always in the fitness industry.
After finding massive success in sales and building sales teams with companies like T-mobile and Apple, Rick decided to go all in on his love for fitness and training.
Since then he's acquired more certifications and experience than I can even write down, branched out into content creation and social media management, and also as a mentor and coach for other trainers in his Educator roles with companies like @Technogym , the PPSC, and more.
He's a wealth of experience and knowledge, committed father, all around great guy, and shining example of the good that exists inside of the fitness industry. Enjoy.

October 03, 2023 Want Clients to Succeed? Charge More Money
In this solo episode, I dive deep into the compelling reasons why charging more for your personal training sessions benefits not only you as the trainer but also your clients. 💪
As a fitness professional, increasing your rates over time can lead to a multitude of advantages, including a higher level of commitment, improved quality of service, and the ability to invest in ongoing education and equipment to enhance your clients' experiences.

But it's not just trainers who reap the rewards. Clients also benefit from this approach in unexpected ways. Discover how higher prices can lead to greater motivation, accountability, and ultimately, superior results.

August 04, 2023 From Trainer to Founder || Jay Copley || Episode 8
🎬 Unleashing Your Inner Champion: Interview with London's Premier Personal Trainer & Co-founder of GRND House 🏋️‍♂️Jay Copley

🔥 Prepare to be Inspired! 🔥

In this podcast episode I sat down with none other than Jay, the co-founder of GRND House, a high-end group training, online, and wearable technology brand based in the heart of London.
From idolizing professional footballers and NBA stars to becoming a leading force in the fitness world, Jay's journey is one of passion, dedication, and relentless pursuit of excellence.
Growing up with a deep admiration for athletic legends, Jay gravitated towards gymnastics as his chosen sport. But little did he know that this was just the beginning of an extraordinary adventure. Fueled by the belief that mediocrity was simply not an option, Jay set his sights on an even greater challenge - joining the prestigious Royal Marines Commandos.
Jay's transition into fitness wasn't a smooth one and we got to talk about some of his major failures and lessons along the way - including how his brand was born out of the pandemic and being let go from his job. Fast forward to today, and Jay stands as a true force to be reckoned with in the fitness industry.
With a remarkable track record that boasts an impressive array of clients, including celebrities and everyday fitness enthusiasts (yes, even his own mom!), Jay brings an infectious positive energy that will leave you motivated and ready to conquer your goals. In this exclusive interview, Jay spills the beans on his secrets to success, the driving philosophy behind Grnd House, and how he empowers individuals to rise above challenges, both physically and mentally.

July 28, 2023 Broken to BUFF: Building Mental Muscle || Danielle Fili || Episode 7
From an unhealthy relationship with food and exercise to getting her Pro Card on stage only to feel empty and unfulfilled, Danielle has experienced it all.
Danielle started teaching group fitness more than 12 years ago and fell in love with teaching LesMills, step, Zumba, you name it. She was your typical group fitness and cardio junkie until she found real strength training at the age of 26. Less than a year later she stepped on stage and went Pro - only to still feel unhappy with herself and her body.
Fast forward to today and Danielle works with clients both online and in-person to not only achieve the body of their dreams, but the mindset and mental muscle needed to make exercise and healthy eating a lifelong pursuit.
