T-Shirt Pool Party

Send us a textWe've been busy busy but hopefully we're getting back to a regular-ish schedule. In this episode, we knock the dust off, catch up a little and then kind of head all over the place. Plenty of nuggets throughout though. Shoutout to Kevin (@the_baguba) for an exciting night out at Combat Night MMA too. Thanks for tuning in and we'd love to hear from you about things you'd like us to talk about, some of the topics you've enjoyed and even things you hate about the show. Without listeners, we're just hanging out. We appreciate you!

Send us a textHoly Moly! We've been gone for a minute, more like a month, but we're back and stronger than ever. And as it just so happens, that's our primary discussion today on the pod. We talk actual strength building and the many nuanced ways to get quantifiably stronger. Jimmy does the bulk of the heavy lifting on this one, both metaphorically or literally because this is his jam. Get a good stretch and a warm up before you dive into this episode because we're going HEAVY. We'll see you on the other side!

Send us a textIn the first episode of a new season, we make a few mistakes and we talk about even more of them we've seen in gym goers and been guilty of for years. We observe and we don't judge. It's a space space but we also hope you're listening enough to see if you might be making or witnessing many of the same ones. Shout to Fairlife and Reign Energy. This will be the last time I ever put those tow that close together. And as promised, Jimmy's gym playlist from Spotify is linked below. Thanks for starting another year with us. It's only going to get better from here. https://open.spotify.com/playlist/10gCVaYHRWhxJUnxBiTbQd?si=rXGivmMPRiGtaj3y7_G0TQ

Send us a textThe official real Episode 20 had to be a little more legit than our bonus episode so we brought in a literal heavy hitter. This Ep we're joined by our newest addition to the training team, Kevin "Baguba" Hein. Kevin is an army veteran, serving most of his active duty time as an airborne infantryman attached to the 3-509 airborne unit of Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson in Anchorage Alaska. He also happens to be very good at punching people in the face and/or choking them during MMA fights. In more recents developments, he is already making a name for himself as an up and comer on one of the best training teams in the country. We had the pleasure of talking to Kevin about his service, his training, and his outlook on the future as a personal trainer. As usual, we had a good time doing it too. If you liked the episode or not, drop us some fan mail and let us let us know what you think.  

Send us a textThis one was too much fun to throw in the trash but not what we would like to call a real episode. Especially the big Ep. 2-0. We talk Arm Wrestling, Meeting the listeners, family stuff and eventually some actual helpful discussion. Please be patient as we iron out the cracks on the next step in the T-Shirt Pool Party process as we look to add video here really soon. Enjoy the bonus content and keep your eyes out for some info coming soon. Somebody leave some fan mail freal dough. ** SEND YOUR QUESTIONS or DISCUSSION IDEAS IN for us and we'll try to pick some for the big milestone show coming up

Send us a textWe know and we apologize. You've been waiting patiently for the next episode to drop and it's been way too long. Hurricanes, international travel, family boat days, and anything else you can imagine popping up has in fact popped up. Please accept our humble offering of Ep 19 as an attempt to restore the vibe and get back to the good stuff. It's just us doing what we do best. Yapping and almost sounding like we know stuff. Hit that fan mail button and leave us a message if you read this far. 

Send us a textWe have got a huge episode for this upload. Growing up I idolized the professional wrestlers of the WWF and I knew one day if I worked hard enough I could take on The American Gladiators to prove my worth. Spoiler alert, I never made it on AG but that wasn't my fault. So, when we heard one of the baddest women to ever walk the earth was willing to sit down and talk with us we jumped at the chance. Join us on another Pool Party Field Trip as we head down to OSP and talk to the legendary, Shannon Dallas Hall. Wait until you drop the kids off at school for this one. We get into it and we definitely had a great time doing it.    

Send us a textWelcome to Ep. 17! It's Jimmy and Johnny again this week discussing current events in and around our gym and within the region. We dip into the new Spanish Springs location and the exciting new opportunities there. Then, we get into some of the questions that we like to help us find out more about how we can help almost anybody we meet. In typical Pool Party fashion, we're a little off the rails but ultimately we get where we're going. Please don't forget to rate and review if you haven't yet and let us know what you think. 

Who doesn't love the inspiring sounds of The Golden Earrings early in the morning?  Join as we ease into another episode with a whole new list of things to discover and discuss. From vacations to new roles and some follow up, it's all here again. We dive into the roll out of our revamped GeoMeal program, an exciting new space opening sooner than later and we check in on the progress made by yours truly on the way to killing it.

This week's episode is a whirlwind of breaking news, info, and advice. Short, sweet and nowhere near the point. If you're trying to build, or rebuild, your road to success then this episode is a great place to jump in and get started. I won't spoil any of the details, but it's about to get pretty wild over here. 

As a supplement to Ep. 7 Supp Dawg, we took a deep dive into one of our favorite supplements. It's impossible to talk supplements without mentioning protein, but today the star of the show turned out to be Creatine.  Join us on a journey of discovery and insight as we get into nitty and sometimes gritty world of creatine. The ins, the outs, the ups and downs. We might fumble a couple words or figures but at the end of the day, hopefully we left no stones unturned. Hop in and let's see what you can add to the creatine conversation with your clientele. 

Lucky number 13 for real. We were miraculously able to catch Gabby with a little gap at the gym so we jumped at the chance for a very special guest this episode. Holy Moly! We talk about gabby's roots, her success, her struggles and the mindset that carries her through it all. The only thing we didn't talk about were excuses, because she's never made one. Thank you for joining us as we realize it's Gabby's World, and we're lucky to be in it.   

And we're back! Schedules get a little wild sometimes and we're always stoked to sit down and record an episode. Even more so when it's a special request topic and something we're incredibly proud of.  Sit back and take some notes as Jimmy and Johnny dish out all the top secret ways our club continues to crush it with New Business sales and really anything else.  

Welcome back for the REAL episode 11.  This week we 're joined poolside by Antonio McChriston.  Antonio has been on the short list of must have guests since the idea of this podcast started. Luckily, he was more ready to sit in and shoot with us.  We talk origin stories, sports, and even some deep breakdown of major moments in history. Oh, and he dishes on everything we're such big fans of here. Culture, accountability, ownership, blah blah blah. Sit back and get a much needed dose of everybody's dawg, Antonio.

It's been a minute but we're glad to be back. Johnny was off dealing with Jet Skis and Powerboats and Jimmy took a ride on the GHC Rocketship to NJ for some new club integration. This week we're joined by our very own Katie Kline of the Brownwood location. We dicuss how she's made a splash in our lives and the lives of her clientele also. Katie is just an all around great person and it shows the entire time we got to sit down with her and dive deep into what keeps her going. We hope you get something out of it and help take that caring attitude into your next day or session. Thanks for listening. msruntheus.orghttps://youtu.be/H4RnynpuH2I?si=66Tjmha5P1aVXcNj

In episode 9, we sit down and really dive into the ideas of Branding, culture, and professionalism. Don't worry though. We aren't talking suits and ties and spreadsheets. The boys are more into the image you bringing to the fitness floor and the vibes you're putting out, wether you know it or not. This one might be a great way to confirm you're killing it or a wake call to get you brand buttoned up. Dig in and enjoy us trying to keep it light about a topic we're both insanely passionate about. 

We're back! A little spring break and a few days away kept us out of the studio (break room) last week but that's all over now.  And man did we come back with a doozy. Joey Foucha has finally graced the Pod with the chat we've trying to line up since day one.  Please join us for a discussion that ranges as many topics as there are ways we mispronounce Joey's last name.  I could ramble here about the nuggets we unearth in this episode but we'd rather you just sit back and listen. Thanks for coming back after our little break. We appreciate it more than y'all know. 

For Ep. 7 of T-Shirt Pool Party, join us as we try not to sound dumb while checking in with our new favorite Supplement Scientist Jared Ragsdale, CEO of Nutrithority.  As per the usual we talk about why. This time it's a little different though. It's Jared's why he started Nutrithority and its why our clients need to brought up to speed on supplementation. From the easy ones like gains, to cognitive and processing improvements hidden in a battle tested and time honored favorite. We help soften the financial implications and make it a no-brainer we can feel confident getting our clients onboard with. And the best part? No need to wait 30mins for that protein shake to digest before you're back in the pool. 

No field trips, no special guest, just Jimmy and Johnny this time. We go over the dreaded "Trainer Burnout" and discuss some tips to avoid it or get ourselves back on track if it's already hit.  I know I've been there and it's a bummer.  If you listen long enough, you get to learn something pretty rad about both of us.  

This is pretty rad! Not only is it our FIFTH episode, but it's also our first T-Shirt Pool Party field trip.  On this episode we load up and hit the road to Genesis Health Clubs- Orlando Sportsplex, a long standing beacon of fitness in Central Florida. These hallowed halls were once home to The Orlando Magic training facility and Parisi Speed School as well as many other athletic programs. Now, its state of the art training facility that hosts a diverse and dedicated memberships from all over Florida.  We sit down with Niki, Fitness Manager and Personal Trainer, for an awesome conversation involving beginnings, behavior change, professionalism, life lessons and even a little physical challenge.  We hope you enjoy listening to this one as much as we enjoyed making it. 

In Ep 4, Big Jethro Alexander brings a fresh collared shirt and some fun "way back" stories to the Pool Party. We discuss the evolution from Bro Science powerlifter to CPT and even specializations within the realm of PT. Jethro and Jimmy and have been friends for a long time and it's cool to hear that vibe within this episode.  Jethro also discusses behavior change, consistency, and attitude both within himself and his clientele. This one runs a little longer than the others so far but it's worth it.

In Episode 3, we get a chance to bask in the light that is Tammy Dunseath. The longtime Brownwood staple has made her return and this time she's here to head up our Group X department and take it to another level. We have been so excited to have Tammy sit down with us and she certainly doesn't disappoint.  We dip into the importance of Group X for growing as a new Trainer and we barely break the surface of the Power With Parkinson's group she heads up. If you aren't in getting at least a little inspired, save this for later.   Part 2 of this one is already in the scheduling queue. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we did having this conversation.

In this episode, we have our first guest join us at the Pool Party. We dive right in introducing one of the raddest guys we know, Roberto Gonzalez. Dude's bio reads like a guide to being a real man. Former military, retired fire chief and Pro Body Bodybuilder. Plus he's our friend and one heck of a personal trainer. We talk about his transition to the world of training and how he leads by example for his clients. Despite our best efforts, Gonzo doesn't take his shirt off or let too loose while on the mic. A true gentleman and an all around class act. Enjoy!

Get to know your hosts Jimmy and Johnny as we dive into our plans for the podcast, the reason we're here and where we're going.  Jump on in, but the shirts stay on.
