2020 FIT Podcast

I sat down with Nick Arganbright - a budding legend in the ultra-endurance world. In the last 4 months, he's completed a 50-mile race, the Marathon Des Sables (look it up - seriously), and most recently, the Spartan Death race, of which less than 10% ever finish (he & 3 others finished). He shared his great perspective on what got him through it and all the craziness they had him endure over the course of 70 hours STRAIGHT of work.

My wife Britni and I, though we own are gym, are more obsessed about health than we are working out, per se. In this 3 part series, we’re going to dive in to nearly everything we’re currently doing to boost our health, except focusing on exercise. Everyone knows they need to move so we won’t labor the point as we believe that 80% of anyone’s results are related to lifestyle factors OTHER than working out. The parts of this series are in order starting with Recovery which leads in to nutrition with bio hacking being last as that is likely the topic most of us want to focus on out of the gate - the magic pill that solves everything. If you want to save yourself a lot of time and money, just start sleeping more. If you want to learn all the other ways, to optimize your health - continue listening.

We're in what we hope is the eye of the storm and are urging our entire community to stick with us. It will eventually pass and we want to be here for you when it's all said and done. We need you in the meantime.

Ep. 84 | The Day After Yesterday by Jon Rowley

We've joked for years that 2020 is a gym disguised as a golf training facility. This week we dig in to the genesis of the program as well as some new plans we have to help you hit it further + and make putts while your heart is pounding.

Functional fitness + Cardio has a new home - Burn. We're excited to announce our new program starting with the opening of our new facility in March. It's the opportunity for $119 a month to have access to a functional fitness program, heavy on the cardio WITH the opportunity to access our yoga program as well!

We're on a quest to give you as much data as it relates to your health & fitness. For years we've tracked workouts but now thanks to our PNOE metabolic analysis tool, we'll be able to tell you the optimal training range to burn FAT and help you dial in your performance.

It's time for your New Year resolutions - And I want to help you make them happen. Today I share my 6 step process for how I set goals both on an annual basis as many of us do this time of year but also how I break them down in to bit size chunks so you can get to work accomplishing them, today!

What do you really eat... ? This week we follow up with our food tracking from the previous week. Find an accountability buddy, get a note pad and track what you eat over the course of 3 days. What you'll find it it's quite enlightening and motivating to stay on the strait and narrow!

Today's episode is a 2-part series on tracking what goes in your mouth and how we use this information to set appropriate goals. The challenge is to record what you eat for 3 simple days. Do not hold back and keep it real to help give you an clear view of what your actual nutrition looks like - objectively.

This week we review the protocol that we've had "Mimi" over the course of the last month, some of the results she's experienced and what Jon has been doing differently this month for better or for worse. Plus he shares his secret morning routine for enhanced 'vitality'

Today we hear from Jon's mom, Mary about her journey thus far participating in the 2020 Experience over the last 3 weeks. She's off her medication, sleeping like a rock and feeling strong and the best part is she's just getting started!

The bottom line is you're always growing as a person. Some days you'll PR, and most days you won't. What you want to remember is that you're in a journey and some days when things aren't progressing the way you hoped, zoom out and take a look at how far you've really come.

Have you ever considered going vegan? Carnivore? Keto? High Carb? Somewhere in between? This week we review the documentary Game Changers and Jon shares his experience of being a vegan in a former life. Oh - we also solve global warming. If you're interested - take a listen.

Today we sat down with Jon's mom - Mary, aka 'Mimi' to her grand kids. She is embarking on a 30 day journey towards health where the plan is to literally have her do everything Jon says. She's going to be training, eating clean, doing ice baths, saunas, & meditating among many other things. We're going to document everything she does throughout the month and share her results 30 days from now via her body composition and blood work.

This week is a solo edition where Jon reviews the exciting construction progress on the 2020 addition and talks about the new program offerings coming down the pipe!

The key to getting great results can’t be found in a pill or secret sauce. It really just comes down to consistency. In this week’s podcast, we share how you can have a systematic approach to consistency.

Keeping a strong mind is the most important component of our daily physical practice of ‘training’. In this week’s podcast, Coach Jeremy takes Jon through a little therapy session as they discuss the construction project and some delays that have been outside their control and how Jon is keeping sane throughout the whole endeavor.

We are lucky enough to have a great Sports Performance program at 2020FIT that is designed to teach kids how to safely move in a gym environment, enhancing their ability to excel in their chosen sports and reduce the chance of injury. At the end of the day, we feel it’s our responsibility to help as many kids as we can by giving them the tools we wish we had at their age.

Life begins at the end of your comfort zone. The Open for many of us is outside our comfort zone and just so happens to be a couple of weeks away. Here are our thoughts (and trepidations) about the annual event and why it’s ideal to participate in regardless of your desire to compete.

We’re rehashing a former topic in “Nasal Breathing” and taping your mouth shut while you sleep. We’ve heard enough success stories and have had plenty of personal success to know that this is something (taping our mouths shut while we sleep) that we’ll do the rest of our lives. In this week’s podcast, we share more of the ‘why’ behind the method and hopefully entice you enough to give it a try for a couple of weeks.

Is joining a gym too expensive if by doing so you are held accountable to reach your goals? In this week's podcast, we dig into how money is often used as an excuse for not investing in your health and the fear of actual success (getting the results you’re after) might be the limiting factor.

This week we catch Jon a day when a camera crew followed him around for an entire day capturing the madness that is his daily schedule. From a 4 am wake up to his morning ritual, we get a behind the scenes look at what a 'typical day' is for this husband, father of 2, business owner, and one wheel fanatic.

Injuries are unfortunately a part of life. In this week’s episode, we share what it takes to properly work through them and how you can use these short-term setbacks as long-term benefits to your overall health/fitness.

We launched a program over 2 years ago that was designed around practices found in ‘Strongman” training to help our community build proper core strength, minimize soreness, and improve functional movement patterns. It’s coming back this fall and we could not be more excited about the offering!

This week’s conversation covers the lessons learned from attempting to run 100 miles in a month. We share why you should do it and why you should potentially not do it, the effects on your body and what to do if you have a broken foot. Thanks as always for listening!

Did you binge a little too much over the 4th of July? Me too. This week I share what I’ve been personally doing to help get back on par after a long and fun-filled weekend with more food than anyone needs. Note that I am not a medical professional, I’m simply sharing what I’m doing and encourage you to experiment on yourself to see what works best for you!

We've had the pleasure of working with the Shawnee Mission East Boy's Lacrosse team over the last 2 years and have seen great progress with them in the gym. Coach Garrett shares his perspective of what he sees on the field and provides advice to up and coming high school athletes to help them trend in the right direction.

Ever wonder why we don't have mirrors at 2020? In this week's episode, we break down the three components of the "why" behind this philosophy.

This week's episode is over a year in the making as we've wanted to hear Co-Founder Britni Rowley's side of the story. Today you get the chance to hear from her what it was like starting 2020, how she's played a crucial role in every step, the origin of 2020 the name, and hear about the powerpoint that started it all.

This week, Jon makes a bold claim about 'never being sick' though by the sound of it, you'll disagree. The definition he's using for being sick is different than what is commonly accepted in the US. Learn how Jeremy and Jon stay healthy, consistently, and how you can avoid calling in sick this year as Americans on average do 14 times per year!

This week we nail down some tips on how to manage the inevitable...setbacks. They will happen whether you like it or not and the key is not if, but how you manage. In addition, we dial in how to manage your expectations and what to do about your family that may have a tendency to hold back your health.

As 2020 is continually growing, we are always thinking of what it takes to make a great coach so we can continue to deliver on a daily basis the level of experience our clients have come to expect. Our answers today may surprise you and have helped us regroup our thinking as we look to recruit new members to the 2020 Coaching Team.

Practice being uncomfortable is one of the best ways we know to ensure you can handle stress when it hits you head on. This week we follow up the conversation on SealFit and how doing uncomfortable tasks daily will help create an edge that will allow us to weather the inevitable storm.

Jon was lucky enough to participate in the SealFit 20x Challenge, which is a 12-hour simulation of what is experienced in BUD/S training (Boot camp to become a Navy Seal). The 20x Challenge is designed to help you increase what you think you're capable of by 20x. It lived up to the hype and then some as Jon reports that is was the hardest endurance event he’s ever completed.

Being competitive isn't for everyone, but it does hold a place in our hearts as at a certain point we all need a push to get to the next level - regardless of where that is. This week we identify what it means to be competitive in our opinion, who should be doing it, and tips to help you get to where you want to go.

Going hard and getting 'fitter' does not always mean you're getting healthier. This week we dig into optimizing your training and recovery to benefit your health. You may notice your performance may take some short-term sacrifices; however if the goal is to take your health to the next level - please take a listen.

This week we cover one of the most coveted topics in fitness and why many of us 'workout' - We want to look better. We'll help you align your expectations with your goal and get you dialed in just in time for summer!

This week's episode is a quick 5-minute summary and lead into a 3 part series that we're bringing to you over the next three weeks about 1) Looking good sans clothing 2) Getting healthier, and 3) Being competitive. Next week we'll cover what it takes to use the gym (and lifestyle) to help you look good and acknowledge that it's perfectly okay to chase vanity :)

When we started the gym we had 3 basic rules 1) Keep your shirt on 2) Don't be a d-bag and 3) Play music that you'd listen to in front of your kids or grandmother. Little did we know, this was actually establishing our culture that we are lucky enough to have in place today - A fun and welcoming place for people of all demographics to come in and become a better version of themselves. We share some funny stories about people ripping their shirts off and how bad apples weed themselves out. It was a nice reflective conversation as we sometimes take for granted how we got to where we are.

The key to your long-term success = 3 Times per week for 3 months. What we've found is that if you stick to a program, consistently coming to class 3x per week for 3 months, you have a high likelihood of sticking with the program, aka achieving the results you're after, getting to know some really great people and creating a positive habit that will stick with you for life. This week we share our exciting approach for getting new clients to come to class 3x per week for 3 months to guarantee a lifetime full of fitness.

One of our all-time favorite books, "Can't Hurt Me" by David Goggins, is an incredible story of the trials and tribulations one person went through to come out the other side as one of the toughest humans on the planet. Everyone can take something from this but we'll give you a little hint on what you'll realize - we all have it incredibly easy and we need to toughen up.
