In this episode of One day with Jon Bier, Jon talks with Akin Akman to discover what it takes to build a borderless community of athletes. Listen in as Akin shares the mindset that drove him to become a professional athlete beginning at the age of seven and continues to influence his approach to coaching today. He explains how AARMY was able to successfully combine virtual and in-person training to create a true global fitness community. Akin Akman, AARMY's Co-Founder and Chief Fitness Officer, is widely considered the world's #1 Cycle Coach and one of the most successful Group Fitness Coaches globally. Powerful Quotes by Akin When you're around the best in the world, it rubs off. For me, there is no failure if I create one athlete. If I can build one person up, I'm good. Key Highlights Focusing on smaller, more digestible goals helps you build a specific strategy that not only allows you to be number one, but also to be mentally strong enough to appreciate what it takes to be number one. A strong community is one where someone can walk in and feel at ease and on equal terms with everyone else. This is even truer in the sports and fitness world where competition and comparison between athletes happen by default. Technology has made it possible for anyone to train anytime, anywhere. However, especially when starting out, there is nothing that matches the energy of an in-person session. The best tactic is to use virtual training to supplement face-to-face training, as extra time to practice your baseline skills that are best learned and honed in person.

We are publishing episode 22 from the THE INTRO W/ MDV Pod hosted by Matt Dellavalle, which can be found at https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-intro-with-mdv/id1541721621 and on Instagram at @mdv_fit. Matt DellaValle, aka “MDV” is Chief Fitness Officer at NCFIT, and he is all about fitness, health, and coaching (and tattoos and coffee) all of the time. The Intro with MDV is dedicated to diving into the world of fitness with the people who know it best...the coaches, experts, and athletes in the trenches. In this episode they talk all things Miranda, Julian and Street Parking. 

In today's conversation, John Wolf shares a journey that saw him emerge from the depths of grief and loss to undergo a holistic transformation that ultimately led him to be the Chief Fitness Officer at Onnit. Having lost many of the people closest to him early in his life, John quickly found himself descending down a path of drug addiction. He talks about the years of inner work that he did (and continues to do) to maintain his self-worth, as well as the outer work he underwent to rebuild his body and indirectly build stronger belief systems as a result. John rediscovered his passion for fitness and martial arts down the road. Trading one “addiction” for another, John saw exercise as a way to continually reforge and optimize not only his body, but his entire being. In training his clients at Onnit, John uses an approach he calls “conscious coaching” that leads them into a state of flow “where skill and effort intersect.” To John, “ever forward” is a matter of maintaining this flow, of staying laser-focused on your purpose while staying receptive to continuous learning and growth.   Follow John @coachjohnwolf Follow Chase @chase_chewning   Episode resources: Save 20% on your entire first purchase from Legion Athletics with code EVERFORWARD at www.LegionAthletics.com  Save 20% on every purchase from Organifi with code EVERFORWARD at www.Organifi.com/everforward  Watch the video and learn more about John at https://chasechewning.com/podcasts/episode/541

Today's guest is John Wolf of Onnit. Onnit is an Austin, TX-based health and wellness brand focused on encouraging a peak level of performance through the best in nutritional supplementation, health-conscious foods, and unconventional fitness equipment and training.    John Wolf is Onnit's Chief Fitness Officer, and an expert in unconventional training methods such as kettlebell, steel club, and suspension training. With 16-plus years of experience in the fitness industry, he has worked with rehab clients and athletes of all levels including Joe Rogan. He moves like Spider Man and can deadlift more than 500 pounds any day of the week.   Our discussion today digs deep into John's story and how fitness saved his life from the depths of addiction. John was hooked on different drugs including meth, alcohol, and cocaine. To overcome these addictions he completely transformed his habits and used exercise and martial arts to channel his negative behaviors into something positive. This all couldn't have been done without the help of an unsung hero who found him on the side of the road drunk and drove him home. That can ride was the moment that ultimately led to him making the transformation for good. We talk about the ins and outs of his journey including what caused him to use the drugs and how he crawled out of the darkness.   John shares more in-depth about Onnit and Aubrey Marcus including how they met, what Onnit's mission is and how it's different from other fitness companies. We chat about different mindset subjects including goal setting, overcoming plateaus, and the importance of the inner dialogue. Our convo also gets into different fitness topics like programming, how to stay consistent and how to know if your workout program is actually effective.   John also talks about what it's like to train Joe Rogan and more!    Connect with John:   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/coachjohnwolf/   Website: https://www.onnit.com/   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Onnit   Connect with Doug:   Instagram: www.instagram.com   Twitter: www.twitter.com/dougbopst   Facebook: www.facebook.com/dougbopst   More on Earth Echo Foods/Cacao Bliss:   www.earthechofoods.com/dougbopst   Use Promo code "Doug" at checkout to receive 15% off your order

Akin Akman may be a fitness coach, but he's really aiming to make an impact on your mind. The now-Chief Fitness Officer and co-founder at AARMY learned about the importance of movement and mindset from a young age. At 7, he was training to become one of the top players on the tennis court at IMG Academy. His coach, Nick Bollettieri, told him that he had the potential to be the best and go pro — until, he got injured. Devastated at first, Akman reflects on that #hurdlemoment today with gratitude because it put him on the path to where he is now. In episode 155, Akin shares the details surrounding the first Spin class he ever taught in Miami, and how he ended up moving to New York and joining the team at Soul Cycle, selling out 30+ classes each week within minutes. He talks about how "Akin’s Army" came to be, and the challenges that came hand-in-hand with launching AARMY shortly before a global pandemic. Plus: His take on a champion’s mindset, how he defines purpose, and what he’s looking forward to in the year to come. SOCIAL @akiniko @aarmy @emilyabbate @hurdlepodcast MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE 140.

Matt also talks about how his corporate skills have helped him in his current position, and how following passion and putting in the effort really can pay off.

MDV is the Chief Fitness Officer for NC Fit and has some great insights as to what makes a solid CrossFit coach. In a recent IG post, his hot take was that if your coach is eating while coaching, it might be time to get rid of that coach.

"If your coach is eating during class... it might be time to find a new coach." That very tweet spread like wildfire, and created one of NCFIT's most hot debates to date. So, in true Business of Fitness fashion, Jason and NCFIT's Chief Fitness Officer, MDV, sat down to talk it out. What's you're take on the position? Does eating pull away from professionalism on the coaching floor? Should coaches be eating between sets? Be sure to find out what the guys have to say on the topic! Enjoy!

"Can I talk to you about the programming?" is probably every coach's and gym owner's worst nightmare of a conversation. Today Jason and NCFIT's Chief Fitness Officer, MDV, tackle the idea of workouts being 'too simple' after receiving workout feedback. Essentially, functional movements all serve a purpose and passing value judgements on them doesn't make the movement any less effective. With well over a decade in the field and countless hours of programming and training under their belts, the two are able to share insight with listeners about intended stimuli of workouts, while lending information that can help coaches and owners work with athletes of all skill levels.

On this episode of 20 Minute Fitness we sit down with Jess Martin, the owner and CFO—“Chief Fitness Officer”—of Stronghorn Fitness! He made the switch to being a powerhouse personal trainer after climbing the corporate ladder for 15-years.

You can find out in today's episode, where Jess shares why they have decided to tailor their workouts to kettlebells. 3.)

The Life Stylist is about building the ultimate lifestyle based on the most powerful principles of health and spirituality – and there's no one better to talk to about the fitness side of things than John Wolf, the Chief Fitness Officer for Onnit and a phenom in the fitness industry. Not only do the unconventional fitness systems pioneered by John and the rest of the folks at Onnit change you physiologically, but they also change you emotionally and psychologically. And those gains are just as significant as muscle mass or range of movement, if not more. Going into your local YMCA or Gold's Gym and lifting weights is all well and good, but you deserve better than the norm. Because adopting conventional mindsets and conventional activities will only yield you conventional results. Do you want to create a lifestyle that is unconventional and transform your mind and body into something exceptional? Want a community that offers vital support? Then you have to check out the wisdom John shares in this episode. Topics Discussed In This Episode: Belcampo, the best place in LA for good, clean farm-to-table food Starting martial arts at just four years old & how that helped shape John into the man he is today The dark period of John’s life: when he started doing meth and how he found himself on the side of a freeway How John got into the fitness world The open company culture of Onnit & their cosmonaut experiences How an alternative fitness system changes you, physiologically and emotionally How the functional fitness movement allows you to train hard, but also safely Creating a framework of early and frequent success, with limitations on how frequent failure occurs relative to an individual’s resiliency towards failure. The natural movements that every human being should be able to use as an adult, but that many of us lose due to our sedentary lifestyle (and how you can regain movement) What you can do to proactively integrate body support and recovery into your active lifestyle   More about this episode.

We're exploring fitness devices, data, and ecosystems that matter with the CEO of Michael Wood Fitness and the CFO of Koko FitClub, Michael Wood. In this podcast, Michael uncovers what he believes is the recipe for success in merging the digital experience with in-person training. Michael is widely recognized as one the nation’s top strength & conditioning experts. Through his leadership, Koko FitClub started as a integrated software company back in 2005. Not long after, they developed a strength training product with the goal of creating a unique turn-key coaching facility where the need for on-site trainers was to be obsolete. They saw moderate success with this new style of automated coaching, and soon realized that a critical component was missing:  Human connection. When Koko FitClub realized their digital experience needed to be upleveled to provide their members with both the technology and human connection they were looking for, they innovated a unique way to blend their tech with traditional training and semi-private exercise classes. From these pivotal changes, the members had a one-of-a-kind experience of tracking, coaching, and programming that provided a new and exciting way of working out.  Listen in as Michael also speaks to technology and its role in taking a proactive and holistic approach to our wellness and shares the essential nutrition and mindfulness apps that support monitoring to make lasting changes in health behaviors. This all-encompassing wellness approach that Koko delivers, inside and outside of the club, shows the true value of providing members with a unique blend of digital coaching, in-person training, and the online tools and resources to transform their nutrition and mindset. But with the almost endless ocean of new technology, apps, devices, and platforms emerging in fitness and wellness, what are the integral parts of the optimal ecosystem in 2018? The answer to that question and much more takeaways for club owners, operators, and fitness pros in this episode with Michael. About Michael Wood Michael Wood, CSCS, is widely recognized as one the nation’s top strength & conditioning experts. He serves as CEO of Michael Wood Fitness, formerly the Sports Performance Group, founded in 1988. The award-winning fitness-consulting company calls some of the biggest names in the athletic, academic, and entertainment industries their clients. The company has completed more than 35,000 training sessions to date under Michael’s guidance. Michael is also the Chief Fitness Officer at Koko FitClub, LLC, which develops interactive software and hardware for the $60B worldwide fitness and wellness industry. Koko FitClub is a national franchise with currently more than 100 locations throughout the United States and Canada. Michael’s honors have included receiving the coveted Boston Magazine “Best of Boston” award and in both 2004 and 2005 Men’s Journal named Wood one of the top 100 trainers in the United States. In the December 2004 issue, the magazine also included Michael on their trainer “Dream Team,” comprised of the nine best trainers in the U.S. He is also a member of the Fitness Industry Technology Council and works with clients via the Wellness Roundtable. He is also a former member of Power Bar Team Elite. Michael has also raised money for two scholarship funds when he reached the summit of Africa’s highest peak, Mt. Kilimanjaro (19,340′), in 2008 with Thompson Safaris. His professional experience includes director of business development and business director at two Velocity Sports Performance franchise locations, and director of strength and conditioning at New England Sports Academy.

Transformation Reshape the body from the inside out with a sustainable, coached training program designed to burn fat and build lean muscle for life. With just 2-3 sessions a week on average, members feel stronger and leaner with more energy to take on new challenges. Top 3 Takeaways From The Show Michael reminds us of the incredible potential of fitness technology when combined with dedicated coaching and human connection. In an era of exponential technology growth, what is most important to fitness professionals and operators is to understand their unique and signature type of service that utilizes the best-of-the-best in the tech but also formulates a trusted bridge from a member to a dedicated coach. Michael shared that Koko's digital coaching model didn't actually find true success until the physical coach was inside the gym. Whether it's for personal training or facilitating the integration of Koko's technology, the human connection aspect is a highly critical piece of their success.  It's important to remember that fitness begins from the inside out. While of course exercise is an essential piece to any wellness routine, Michael believes we must now pivot in the fitness industry towards a comprehensive wellness approach with a key focus of mindfulness. He recommends apps like Sugar Rush to help regulate our intake and glucose levels, and Inside Tracker to get a better understanding of our biomarkers. But regardless of whatever device or application used it's the true integration of personality, technology, and human connection that will drive a successful ecosystem.

This week we traveled to Onnit Academy in Austin, Texas, to talk to their Chief Fitness Officer, John Wolf. Onnit’s mission is to help people achieve total human optimization, and John’s the one to get you there. He’ll be the first to tell you that movement and training is just a part of total human optimization. You might know Onnit best from their nutrition supplements and fitness accessories (like these kettlebells, for example). When John was brought on as CF[itness]O, he was tasked with creating a system that incorporated everything Onnit was already doing -- and to use all the information available to make the best humans. In this week’s episode, John gets into some solid, specific technical about how to make your movement more efficient.

I met John Wolfe years ago while studying kettlebell training. What initially struck me about him was his approach to and philosophy about training – I loved how he implemented unconventional training methods into any program as a way to upgrade it. John, who is now the CFO (Chief Fitness Officer) of Onnit, joins me to talk about everything from how to build culture, a community that connects instead of divides, and powerhouse teams that encourage individuals to step into greatness. We of course also get into unconventional training. IN THIS EPISODE YOU'LL LEARN: Why John left his own business to join Onnit and how you can be happy and successful by putting yourself into the right career The secret to long term growth and success - "It's not about how much money you make but ________." How to learn some of the best lessons from the things you did wrong – or even better, learning from other people doing things wrong The principle that can be implemented to attract the best talent and a powerful tool that you can use to make great connections (both total game changers!) The 3 C's that laid the foundation of success at Onnit The "magic formula" that makes the best teams and companies tick and why you MUST do this if you want to create a strong team in your company Why a "choose your own adventure" style of training may be the best way for people to stick to fitness long-term How I broke the record in the Viking Mace Challenge while being hungover at the Onnit grand opening How to create experiences that keep people coming back – the cornerstone of ANY business Why you're the most successful when you choose your path and do what you love the most — and how you can help people in your organization do that LINKS AND RESOURCES: Onnit Academy The Pack Fitness Business Coaching Vigor Life Podcast iTunes (Subscribe Here) Thanks so much for joining me this week.
