Feel Strong Fitness

Ready to jump in to a new program, you just need to get in shape?  WHAT. Justin talks about where this idea may come from, why it's a trap, and how you can start moving forward TODAY. Let's talk about it. 

"I just have SO many goals, I don't know what to do!" We hear it all the time, and we love it. Justin breaks down how we break down the path forward without abandoning goals but realizing which ones overlap, which come in a particular order, and the best way to achieve ALL of them. Let's talk about it. 

How to draw inspiration from a variety of sources without losing yourself or being taken advantage of. We're not anti-influencer, but we think you should strive to be an upgraded version of YOU, not a copy of someone else. 

It seems to us that there is an uptick in scarcity mindset behavior in the fitness/wellness space right now, and we have a few things to say about it. Let's accelerate your growth, view challenges as opportunities, and build the tallest tower without engaging in any demolition. Confused? Let's talk about it. 

Robert and Kayla Hull have had a JOURNEY, and aren't done yet. Coaching, massage therapy, gym ownership, and changing mission statements are just some of the stops they've made so far -- we talk about making big decisions, working as a team while married, and what's coming next. Let's talk about it. @Robert. Hull_Coach @lift_and_chill @kayla.flippin.hull

Justin digs into tempo -- the what, why, and how you can apply it NOW in your training to break through plateaus, improve technique, and get out of pain! Let's talk about it. 

Peter Lap of Healthy Post-Natal Body @healthy_post_natal_body chats with Justin about post-natal fitness, the importance of access to fitness, and why most of his happy clients don't pay him anything. Let's talk about it. 

Dr. Sean Pastuch ( @drseanpastuch ) joins Justin to talk about what Fitness really is, why he believes the gap between health care and fitness will be filled by the health care provider of the future: the coach, and how you can get a ton of value without hiring either of us. We are excited about this one -- let's talk about it.  @activelifeprofessional

What EXACTLY happens when you sign up with Feel Strong?  What are the steps?  How long does it take?  We're big believers in being transparent with these things, so we're spelling it ALL out. The how, the why, and exactly the steps we take to build our signature one-on-one custom programs to solve your problems and reach your goals without compromise or wasting time. Let's talk abou...

Stu Brauer has RETIRED from owning a microgym. Not quit, not sold, RETIRED. We talk about how long this was in the works, what it's like to potentially lose your identity, and how his next step is helping other people do exactly what he just did. Let's talk about it. 

Nate Palmer is bringing energy and success to busy dads! We talk about sustainable nutrition practices, why your ketone supplement won't work, and how he gets to the root of people's REAL motivation to keep them going and winning long-term.  @n8training Nate's Private Group (go join!): https://www.facebook.com/groups/optimalself Nate's Latest Book: https://www.amazon.com/Million-Dollar-Body-M...

Whether you're looking at a coach, program, or fitness solution, or you're someone who PROVIDES those things, you need to determine if it is, in fact, of value to you. Justin lays out some simple questions with challenging answers, as well as why he declined a $60,000/month offer and you should too. Let's talk about it. 

We talked with Jeff Seckendorf of Coach Me Strong - a one-on-one coaching program focused especially on people with Parkinson's disease. We talk about the value of individual programming with this population, why accountability is a huge value, and how this all started with SCUBA. Jeff is helping bridge the gap between health care and fitness -- Let's talk about it.  @coachmestrong

Your testing is getting in the way of your training, and creating roadblocks to your RESULTS you may not even recognize.  Sound fishy? Let's talk about it. 

So you need a coach. Now what?  Justin breaks down what we think you should look for in a coach or coaching program, as well as some things we hate that you should watch out for. Values, adaptation, and money -- let's talk about it. 

Your fitness tools may be holding you back. Belts Shoes Wraps Sleeves Tape Supplements CHALK Over-using and becoming reliant on these can and will stunt your adaptations, can lead towards injury, and will make each rep LESS valuable and effective. Don't understand? Let's talk about it.

Lots of 'effort over everything' talk coming across social media these days.  WE DISAGREE.   Kind of.  Is effort or consistency more important? Can they exist seperately. Justin has some thoughts. Let's talk about it. 

Success feels great, but failure is an incredible teacher. Whether you're suffering from paralysis by analysis, worried about judgment, or unwilling to rock the boat, Coach Justin wants you to take that step and get excited if you fail? Sound off? Let's talk about it.  Note: Yes, we know 30 weeks is longer than 6 months. 

There is a type of Physical Therapist committed to getting active people BACK to being active, in supporting athletes and movers of all types in reclaiming their goals after setbacks, and Dr. Jon Herting is leading the way. We talk what makes great PTs great, how to spot a gem, and why he will only hire PTs who ALSO have coaching experience.  This one is special. Take notes. 

Your FITNESS should be as unique as YOU.  No one else is quite like you. Your experience, your history, your goals, your anthropometrics, your preferences...it's unlikely someone else's fitness will have the same effect on you. Stop doing so-and-so's secret squirrel program that got them ripped in 20 days, and get a program designed for YOU. 

Hold on. Take a breath. Listen. 1 Rep Maxes are a useful tool, but NOT an invaluable tool. In some circumstances, the risk: reward ratio is completely out of whack. How do you know if 1 Rep Maxes are appropriate for you? We have some thoughts -- Let's talk about it. 

KNOWLEDGE BOMBS INCOMING: We sat down with Blache, Owner of Rooted Strength Coaching, and talked peri-natal fitness, taking up space, and learning to honor your body as it IS - not as it was, or how you wish it would be. Blanche is smart, passionate, and is ready to educate clients AND coaches around creating greater fitness, wellness, and well-being for folks everywhere. Listen in - this one was...

This episode is some real talk, some hard truths, and a heaping scoop of tactical advice on how to determine what your STANDARDS are, what makes something a priority, and what it may take to achieve your dream state. Spoiler: It's probably less than you think, but more than you're doing.  Let's talk about it. 

Justin digs into an analogy we use sometimes when considering who to work with. Coaches, athletes, and gym owners -- can you recognize YOUR houses on fire? What do you do? What's your responsibility? What if it's YOU? We talk tools, solutions, and why we think it's vital to take action. 

We're talking tempos, absolute strength, including 'speed days' in your training, and why accessory work is the scaffolding around the magnificent cathedral that is you and your progress. Confused? Let's talk about it.
