When I moved back to Ohio to start this business in 2009, my Dad decided that was when he wanted to lose some weight. He didn’t have a lot to lose, approximately 30 pounds. I was trying to find a location to set up shop in and I needed a place to train in the […]
For this week’s bonus episode, I get to spend time with trainer Oonagh Duncan to help promote her brand new book “Healthy As F*ck.” As of this date of this show’s release, we are one day early for when her book is officially available but you can pre-order your copy on Amazon.com or through her […]
I’m honored this week to welcome fellow coach, Chris Cooper to the show. Chris is the owner of Amp Training and oversees the Facebook group: Personal Care For Personal Trainers.

For a moment, I’d like you to think of a time when you’ve felt disrespected, talked down to or felt that someone was treating you with a condescending tone. Maybe it was a co-worker, employer, friend, or a loved one. And I’d like you to think about how you felt at that moment. Did you […]
Returning to the show for her third time (see episodes #108 and #172), Heather Robertson of Half Size Me joins me this week. This conversation was inspired from a couple of directions.

I am honored to share time this week with Dr. Reid Wilson of Anxieties.com, author of “Stopping The Noise In Your Head” and co-author of “Anxious Kids, Anxious Parents.” I wanted to connect with him and bring him on the show to discuss the rise in anxiety today and some of the troubleshooting he likes […]
Weight Watchers (now branded as WW) has been around for over 50 years. And if you know even the slightest bit about the dieting industry, you’ll know that diet trends come and go in almost as rapid fashion as clothing styles.

He has been a client of mine for over four years and if you’ve been following me, you already know him as we affectionately call him “King Richard.” My 79 year young friend and client joins me this week to talk about his experience working with us and what motivates him to continue seeking progress […]
I don’t mince any words about always being a smaller framed guy. By most people’s estimation, I would still at 43 years of age qualify as underweight. But I feel good and, for the most part, I move well and I’m pretty happy with that. When I was in my 20’s, knee deep in drugs, […]
