Zealous State of Mind Podcast with the Guru of Gainz

In this episode we talk about the top 3 pieces of equipment you would get on a budget and with limited space. 

Then, we switch it up and talk about our top 3 pieces of equipment we would get if money or space wasn't a problem.

We finish up by talking about our experiences with creating our own workouts vs following a program.

If you have any questions about the show or anything else to do with garage gyms, health or fitness, feel free to shoot them through.

Enjoy the show!

Podcast with Cory Gregory @corygfitness is now live!🔥

Been following Cory from when he was a guest on Barbell Shrugged about 6 years ago, so it was an honour to talk to him and ask him some questions. 

Cory has a passion like no other for weightlifting, health and fitness. He has helped 1000's transform their body/mind and has had great success as a model and powerlifter/weightlifter.

He has also done A LOT as a businessman, from being the co founder of muscle pharm many years ago to starting his own supplement line @maxeffortmuscle and co founding the mid west mecca gym @joinarealgym and much much more! 

There's plenty of gems in this one and his energy and enthusiasm is infectious! There's no way your not coming away from this episode uninspired!

Was good to start the year off by catching up and doing a round two with the bro Stefan Smith.  

Was awesome to connect with Neven Antic who is doing great things with his athletes and members in Adelaide, Australia through his gym D8 Training. 

Neven is really well spoken, thoughtful and very insightful, and not just in the gym or in athletic endeavours.

There's a lot of takeaways and practical things to put into practice in this one!

Enjoy the show!

This series is a throwback series to when I started my podcast back in 2014 with a small camera and a handheld microphone that I borrowed from a close friend. Back then, podcasting wasn't that common and I didn't know know how to upload to a podcast platform yet, so it was only ever on YouTube until now. Excited to share and bring these episodes and memories back life in a time that I was heavily involved in CrossFit and made some great friends who kindly became my guests. Hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

Darren Ellis, Andy Rogers, Jan Zabawski and Max Roache. First affiliate owner in NZ Darren Ellis openly shares some stories and insights from his life time of experiences.... Weightlifting extraordinaire, Andy Rogers talks about life as a PT and how CrossFit has helped grow the sport he has loved for more than 10 years.

New Podcast with Leighton Spellman @iam_famc is now live!🔥

In this episode, me and Leighton talk about many things but a main focus and passion for both of us is the development and mentoring of young kid's/teens through our love for sport, health and fitness.

Really enjoyed catching up and chopping it up with Leighton as we go way back and it's been cool to see his journey of growth and development over the years💯👌🏼 #ZealousStateofMind #WesWesNet #GuruofGainz #Coaching #Development #Mindset

Jim Wendler is most known for his 5-3-1 Training Program which has reached around the world with great success. 

He is also known for his feats of strength in the world of powerlifting.

Over the last 5 years or so, Jim, along with his wife Juliet have volunteered as Strength and Conditioning Coaches for their local Junior High and High School football team. This is what we dig in and talk about most during this episode as it is a passion for the both of us.

I really enjoyed picking his brain and seeing how he has gradually built and set up his program with great success, but maintains that it wouldn't be possible without the support of his wife, the school, parents and local community.

Tune in for a great conversation and be sure to check out his website jimwendler.com to see all his training programs, articles, apparel and private forum that he mentions at the end of the podcast.

Episode 1. Kevin and Jade Manuel, Zak Nothling, Callum Gifford and Max Roache. Kevin talks about his training and life as one of the few competitive athletes who still works a normal job and does extremely well in a world where most top CrossFit athletes are box owners or coaches.... Zak Nothling and Callum Gifford are affiliate owners of CrossFit East Tamaki, who are both former NZ representatives in their respective sports. Me (Jan Zabawski) and Max are co-owners of Zealous CrossFit with our family. 

Had a lot of fun catching up with Luke and learning more about his upbringing and background. 

It had been a few years since we met and connected at the Hold The Stand Summit and we hit off right away.

Luke is doing great things in Christchurch as Head Coach at Hybrid Theory Training and with his business Reclaim Nutrition. 

Luke shows a maturity beyond his years, is very articulate, a great a communicator and has his own podcast called The Holdfast Podcast.

Really enjoyed this chat, and had some good laughs as I'm sure you will too!

Enjoy!:)
