With more than 45,000 hours of personal training and leadership roles at top gyms—from Gold's Gym Venice to Equinox NYC—he's seen the fitness industry from the inside out. But his story goes far beyond strength and aesthetics.In his memoir A Life Measured in Sessions: Sex, Fitness and Self-Destruction—now in development as a scripted TV series—Craig exposes the chaos beneath his success: the addiction to validation, the illusion of perfection, and the lifelong process of turning pain into purpose.After stepping away from fitness, he began consulting for recovery programs and organizations like the Malvern Institute and Valley Forge Military Academy, using movement as a bridge to healing.Raw, self-aware, and unapologetically honest, Craig's voice cuts through the noise.

Dr. Michael Zhang is the co-founder of Incumental. Before launching the platform, he worked as a clinician at the University of Sydney, supporting people struggling with gambling and other behavioral addictions. In his clinical work, he noticed a recurring gap: therapy was helpful, but many people needed support between sessions, while others weren't ready for therapy at all and still wanted a private, practical way to regain control. Incumental grew out of that insight. Today, Michael focuses on turning clinical knowledge into accessible, scalable tools that support real behavior change, long-term recovery, and sustainable personal growth at the intersection of psychology and technology.In This EpisodeIncumentalIncumental on IGBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-trauma-therapist--5739761/support.You can learn more about what I do here:The Trauma Therapist Newsletter: celebrates the people and voices in the mental health profession.
