Have you ever felt like if you can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing at all? Whether it's meal tracking, a workout routine, or your body image goals—perfectionism creeps in and convinces us that anything less than a 10/10 just doesn't count. In this powerful conversation, Shaela sits down with Brittany Braswell, RD, to unpack how perfectionism shows up in our health, our habits, and even our spiritual life. Together, they explore how striving keeps us stuck in fear, shame, and all-or-nothing cycles—and how God invites us to walk in peace and freedom instead. Brittany shares how perfectionism can masquerade as control, and how fear often fuels our obsession with getting it “just right.” But as Christian women, we're not called to carry that burden. Instead, we're invited to release the pressure and start living from grace—not guilt. Whether you struggle with obsessiveness around food, pushing yourself to never miss a workout, or falling into apathy when things feel “off track,” this episode will help you find your footing again—with truth, Scripture, and simple next steps. You'll Learn: What perfectionism really looks like in your fitness & food habits How to identify sneaky “rules” that create pressure & guilt Why fear is often the root of performance-driven health How to start choosing progress over pressure in a faith-filled way A practical framework for shifting from control to stewardship

Mark Fisher's journey began as a self-proclaimed "skinny guy" in high school. Determined to improve his physique, he began working out, a passion that followed him into adulthood. Throughout his twenties, Mark carved out a career as a professional actor in New York City. Although he found moderate success on stage, it was the "fitness bug" that truly captured his heart, leading him to explore opportunities beyond acting and nurturing a deeper passion for the HALO sector. Mark also shares how his eclectic approach and the mantra of "ridiculous human, serious fitness" have not only inspired a diverse clientele, but also sparked an entirely new niche in the space. Whether you're a fitness enthusiast, entrepreneur, or seasoned veteran . . . this episode promises insightful revelations and actionable takeaways. Mark created something absolutely unique in the space that continues to thrive. On building an inclusive community he states, "If you ate lunch alone in a bathroom stall in middle school, you'll likely understand what's going on here." This underscores their commitment to providing a safe and welcoming environment for those who have often felt marginalized or uncomfortable in traditional gym settings, especially catering to queer-identifying individuals and those from the Broadway community. Key themes discussed Mark Fisher's fitness journey. Unique branding of Mark Fisher Fitness. Importance of marketing and niching. Challenges of scaling and exiting a gym business. Consulting and helping other gym owners. Personal reflections on business decisions. Selling and transitioning Mark Fisher Fitness. A few key takeaways: 1. Unique Brand Approach: Mark Fisher Fitness carved out a niche by targeting the Broadway community in New York City. By using a unique (and some might say) 'eccentric' (and super clever!) branding approach, like calling their members "ninjas" and referring to their gym as “the enchanted ninja clubhouse of glory and dreams,” they managed to create an incredibly welcoming atmosphere for those who typically may have felt uncomfortable in more traditional gym settings. 2. Importance of Marketing and Community: The success of MFF was partly due to the extensive network he built in the Broadway community. He emphasized the importance of leveraging personal connections and using creative marketing strategies to expand the brand's reach. 3. Adaptability in Business Models: As a consultant, Mark now helps gym owners tailor their models by starting with proven playbooks and adapting these strategies to fit specific markets and circumstances. This includes a heavy focus on marketing and understanding the target audience. 4. Acquisition Mindset: Mark gave a bit of color around the sale of MFF. He emphasizes the importance of aligning business operations with personal and professional goals, ensuring the business can continue to thrive under new ownership while he focuses on other interests and his consulting business. 5. Industry Insight and Growth: Mark's experience highlights the shift in independent gym ownership, especially concerning scaling operations successfully. He points out that while scaling a complex/unique brand like MFF can be challenging, simpler models may present different opportunities for growth and return on investment.

In this episode of The Next Level Health & Fitness Podcast (formerly The Key Nutrition Podcast), Craig and I dive into the growing conversation around ADHD diagnosis. Craig, a licensed clinical therapist, has worked with countless individuals diagnosed with ADD/ADHD, and through his experience, he's discovered that not everyone who receives this diagnosis truly has it. Before jumping to labels and medication, he believes in first addressing key health and wellness factors that can play a massive role in focus, attention, and overall mental health. We also break down a powerful mental health supplement stack that can help support cognitive function, mood, and focus—things that everyone, diagnosed or not, can benefit from. If you've ever wondered whether you (or someone you know) really have ADHD or if other lifestyle and nutrition factors are at play, this is an episode you won't want to miss. At the end of the episode, I also share an exciting new case study I'm running with a group of dads looking to get in great shape while balancing the challenges of fatherhood, partnership, and life. If you're a dad who wants to level up physically without sacrificing the things that matter most, stay tuned! Interested in working with a coach?

Are weight loss drugs the magic solution everyone's talking about, or just another overhyped trend?
We all know it's coming one day, but how do we best prepare for it? The moment the household goes quiet, and suddenly there's less chaos and dependencies surrounding you. Maybe it's the kids becoming adults and setting off on their own, or maybe it's early retirement, but we all reach that day where you look around and realize you're in a transition and your everyday normal starts to slow down and change. That's exactly what client turned coach Michele Canon is here to talk about this week: how to focus on goals and prioritize your wellness in this new phase of life. Michele tried it all, keto and fasting and cardio and all the things that are supposed to help you stay lean and feel your best, but through her own muscle building transformation and after taking Jenny's STRONG Formula coaching certification program, she learned that the Strong Girls methodology was the best process for truly achieving that X-Frame physique and also led her to accomplish her own goals of getting published in STRONG Fitness Magazine and becoming a women's fitness coach herself; focusing on building programs that are designed for aging women and empty nesters, proving that wellness doesn't “end” as we age, in fact it can truly begin and you can thrive at any age!

The fitness industry is often obsessed with member acquisition, but Alloy Personal Training Franchise stands out with a metric that truly matters: client retention.Sure, we love seeing new faces walk through our doors, but one measurement of success that stands out is how long they stay a part of our community.Our average client sticks with us for a remarkable 36 months, and there's a reason for that.One of these reasons is that we intentionally keep our studios small to make it really personal training, not just in name.This means the trainers know more than just the client's fitness goals—they will know much more about the clients, which helps foster real friendships between members, turning sessions into something to look forward to, not dread.Accountability is way more powerful when it comes from other members. This kind of community makes consistency a whole lot easier (and more fun!).Building this type of gym culture isn't a quick fix. It takes a relentless focus on the member's experiences. But the results are powerful: loyal clients who become your best advocates, reduced churn, and the satisfaction of knowing your gym truly makes a difference in people's lives.Tune in to this episode to learn more.Key TakeawaysIntro (00:00)Insights on fitness industry evolution and personal training's role (03:12)Discussion on client retention and personalized training advantages (06:34)Economic analysis of personal training costs (10:22)Impact of a personalized approach on long-term client engagement (15:39)Comparisons between group and personal training retention rates (18:00)Details on session structure and customer interaction (22:52)Importance of community and client connection in fitness settings (27:19)Strategies for ensuring high client retention and satisfaction (34:19)Additional ResourcesFollow Jerry Scarlato- Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jerryscarlato/- YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@jerryscarlato—--- Alloy Personal Training- Learn About The Alloy Franchise Opportunity---------You can find the podcast on Apple, Google, Spotify, Stitcher, or wherever you listen to podcasts.If you haven't already, please rate and review the podcast on Apple Podcasts!

We have 2 lovely guests on the podcast today named Kristi Harrison and Matthew McKeown, who are co-owners of Highland Fitness and Wellness, a personal training studio and fitness community in Scarborough, Ontario. They fill us in on some great tactics of how they've been able to build their gym culture in the best way possible, and then we get into what to focus on when helping your clients in improving their physical health. Movement is very necessary for each day, especially for those who are working a sedentary job 8 hours a day and they give some good examples of how to do that.About Kristi, Matt, and their gym 0:45Creating a community 7:30Focusing on the scapula and lumbar spine 16:30The worst thing about sitting 19:50Clients want professionalism 28:45Targeting specific people and groups 41:50Looking at feet and gait 49:00“I think the hardest thing is teaching people there's more of a mental side that this is the rest of your life. Not meaning that you have to use the rest of your life, but the goals you want to accomplish, they need to be the rest of your life, and you can't convince them on that. You can maybe show someone that, but you have to get someone who's pretty much there already, that they know ‘I need to make significant changes and I know this is gonna take long term.'” 17:18www.highlandfit.com@highlandfitto
