An interview with Dr. Heather McKee, health behavior change consultant.  And that's where I get a little bit frustrated with the tech industry, because at the moment, it feels like a lot of it is focused on tracking metrics and outcomes, and we know that information doesn't equal implementation, and data on its own does not drive behavior, and what matters most is what that data means to...

An interview with Ken Griffin, CEO of AUSactive. It's not often that the healthcare system actually has someone putting up its hand and going, hey, we've got not just a solution, but we've actually got a sustainable population-wide solution. And that we can bring to the table here, because there are very few levers that the health system can pull in a heavily regulated, highly costl...

An interview with Dr. Michelle Segar, Behavioral Scientist and Health Coach. And then what happens is that when people don't do their full plan and they choose not to do the something instead of nothing, they feel like failures, and oftentimes it only takes one miss to go, Ah, I'm done. I'm just, I'm not athletic enough, I'm not disciplined enough. And it absolutely derail...

An interview with Julia Hotz, journalist and author. What I think I was trying to do with the book is show, not tell.  And show the art therapist who's been doing this for 50 years, to show the doctor who's really passionate about taking his patients out in nature, who's been doing this for a decade.  You're all doing social prescribing.  If you are engaging in some kind of wor...

An interview with Alantheus Thompson, Founder and CEO, Groe Solutions. So the members benefit from having that layer of accountability if they are working with a trainer. And if not just more broadly, the gyms, being able to know what they're doing and when they are going to get a new piece of equipment that aligns with them, or they're going to implement a new training program instead o...

An interview with Devin Lebrun and Katrina Maniec, Global Breath Network. And so we're looking to combine with the exercise as medicine movement, add breath to the conversation, because we know how much it impacts someone's ability to exercise, to get off the couch if they're leading a sedentary life, to get back to moving if something in midlife kind of shut them down or closed the...

An interview with Paige Denison, Director of Health, Wellness and Project Enhance at Sound Generations. Here's the thing about falls that makes me so passionate about it. I mean, they don't have to happen, right? For a lot of things they cause, the human cost, the healthcare cost, the cost to our communities, to families, to caregivers, and preventing them is very, very doable. So I thin...

An interview with Dr. Jason Karp, Founder & CEO, Coach, Exercise Scientist and Author. For many years, I've been hearing people in the fitness industry talk about how your fitness and your physique is 80% nutrition and 20% exercise. And all you have to do is take one exercise science class, and you know that that's incorrect. And how can your nutrition be four times more important th...

An interview with Dr. Kenneth Cooper, Father of Aerobics. Because my big goal, and the last part of this book, my big goal was to bridge the gap between faddism and scientific legitimacy in exercise and the practice of medicine.  Now the results are too impressive to be ignored. Dr. Kenneth Cooper Inspiration for writing Growing Healthier as You Grow Older Changing the way the world is practicing...

An interview with Stephanie Geosits, Founder of All About Sports. And I think that my passion for sport also comes from the fact that it is so universal.  It's global.  I just returned from the U17 Women's World Cup in Morocco, and I saw teams from all over the globe. The final eight teams were from four different continents, and each had its own language, and it was just an amazing conf...

An interview with Dr. Andrew Mock, Medical Director at Hoag Medical Group.   And I always had this dream of like, what if, rather than people coming to us at the hospital when they're sick, what if we went to them in the places where they were taking care of their health? Why can't the gym be the same place that we are seeing patients? And that's how I started my first year of medic...

An interview with Elaine Economou, Co-Founder and CEO of MOVE Wellness. I used to say that people were coming for a six pack, and I was teaching them how to be mindful and more self-aware. Elaine Economou Inspiration for entering the health & fitness industry Supporting clients through their whole health journey   Move Wellness mission Building relationships with healthcare providers Helping h...

An interview with Chris Powell, Founder of Move One Million. It's people around the world, and there's every race and there's every religion, and there's every political preference, and there's, it is fully inclusive, because in movement and in humanity, that's, we see through all of it. There is no, when you're doing Move One Million, there is no race, there is...

An interview with Dr. Renee Rogers and Dr. Michael Hosking. If you don't know the answer to something, it's okay to say you don't know the answer to something and that you'll look into it. And I think that's a really important space for building trust with your patients. Dr. Renee Rogers I would say to the boots on the ground fitness professional, if they could learn to sh...

An interview with Ross Stewart Campbell, Founder and CEO of Beyond Activ. I think only in the past five years have we really made true strides in becoming a technology-enabled, data-led, outcomes-driven industry, and with that short window of maturity, I don't think we can beat ourselves up too much that we haven't achieved too much in that space of time. Ross Stewart Campbell Switching...

An interview with Dr. Chloë Williamson, Lecturer at the University of Edinburgh. We're not rational, and the guidelines and the way they're traditionally messaged and have been messaged assumes that humans are rational and that they'll do things that they know is good for them. But in actual fact, your day to day behavior is driven by what you enjoy. And if people can find a physica...

An interview with Dr. Kathryn Schmitz, Interim Director of the UPMC Hillman Cancer Center. We have one randomized control trial showing, in one group of cancer patients, that there is a disease free survival benefit and a mortality benefit, and we know that there's a lot of nice to have outcomes, right? Nice, nice to have is quality of life, things that are not going to be something that the...

An interview with Barbara Zabawa, Wellness Lawyer, Entrepreneur, Author and Law Professor. The nefarious wellness practitioner, the ones that are going to give wellness a bad name, wouldn't turn away the vulnerable patient. In fact, they may prey upon the vulnerable patient, and that is wrong and should not be tolerated, and…so the wellness practitioner that wants to give wellness a good name...

An interview with Anne Marie Chaker, reporter and author. And I want women to start thinking of themselves as more rather than less, and to really lean in into that, and find your strength, and you will feel so good. And that's, that's what I want for them, for all of us. Anne Marie Chaker Motivation for writing LIFT Changing views on fitness Building a movement of strength Connecting st...

An interview with Dr. Marzell Gray and Dr. Alan Beck, Physical Activity Alliance Professional Development Sector. Everything is local here. We're trying to make this big impact in increasing physical activity across our population, but that takes all of us to do that, and I think a bottom up approach is just as effective as a top down approach.   Dr. Alan Beck People like physicians and nurse...

An interview with Dr. Archelle Georgiou, physician, podcaster, former healthcare executive and journalist I think the most important piece of news you can use for health is that physical activity is the single most important thing that you can do for your health. Hands down, no question. Nothing holds a candle to the impact of physical activity on your health. Dr. Archelle Georgiou Clinician persp...

An interview with Scott LaGrand, former professional hockey player and current Senior Director Corporate and Institutional Partnerships at the United States Tennis Association Foundation. And for me that, that just kind of drove me to, obviously drove me to sports, playing collegiately at Boston College and being drafted by the Philadelphia Flyers and spending nine years playing professional hocke...

An interview with Jeff Jeran, Senior Director at Power Wellness. And I think that's, that's what makes a medical fitness center so special. It's just, it's a community very similar to group exercise. The reason why group exercise is so successful is it builds a tribe, and everyone is part of that, and hold each other kind of accountable when they show up. So I think that's...

An interview with Michaela Brown, General Manager at VIDA Fitness & Aura Spa. So group fitness is certainly not a trend. It is a vital organ of health and fitness. We like to think of group fitness as the heartbeat of our gym here. It sells memberships, right? Michaela Brown Group fitness meaning Group fitness and community Group fitness as a revenue-generating vital organ New generation of fi...
