This month's guest is coach Michelle Toy. Coach Toy was previously at Bellarmine College Prep in California. She has recently relocated to the Houston Texas area to join the private coaching sector. Michelle was the 2023 California state coach of the year award recipient from the NHSSCA.

On this week's episode of the Escape Your Limits podcast, our guest is Roy Simonson. Whilst he may not be a household name, there are few gym-users who would not have seen or trained on equipment he designed or inspired. Roy revolutionalized the fitness industry with his game-changing strength equipment innovations. Firstly, when in his early twenties, Roy sold his company, Eagle Fitness, to CYBEX, where as Head of Product Development, he introduced its highly acclaimed VR and VR2 lines and launched more than 100 new strength and cardio products. Fast forward to 1999 and his cable-based weight stack machines, designed by his own company Ground Zero Designs, later renamed Freemotion Fitness, made it possible to train in multiple planes. This effectively launched the concept and application of ‘functional training' to the masses. Since then, Roy has gone on to design for other major equipment brand including Resolute and Eleiko. Alongside has professional success, Roy has enjoyed 30 years of competitive single speed track cycling, racing on a bike he designed himself. Roy has very little interest in self-promotion which is why you won't find him on social media.   Today, Roy Simonson talks about: ·       How strength training products designed for CYBEX ended Nautilus' market dominance. ·       Creating machines that drive health, mobility, activity and fitness. ·       The inspiration behind Hammer Strength. ·       The launch of CYBEX's best-selling VR & VR2 lines. ·       The lack of good education in the industry. ·       Snowboarding and how it inspired the design of Freemotion's cable machines. ·       Trends and predictions.   S    Subscribe to our channel and turn on your notifications so you never miss a new video when it's published: https://www.youtube.com/user/EscapeFitness    

In her five seasons as Director of Sports Performance-Women's Basketball at The University of South Carolina, Molly Binetti, has seen the Gamecocks lose but only 19 games. And, she's been on board to witness 152 wins that include NCAA Sweet Sixteen, NCAA Final Four twice and an NCAA National Championship! (The COVID19 fiasco eliminated a run for another championship opportunity when the Final Four was canceled). All this in just five years at USC. What an experience!!     So, it comes as no surprise that HAMMER STRENGTH Clinics sought out this championship caliber performance coach as one of their top notch presenters at the Spooky Nook Sports Center complex in Hamilton, Ohio. Ted Lambrinides, Tommy Moffitt, Niko Palazeti. Al Johnson. Molly Binetti to name a few. All experienced, detailed and highly motivated coaches that HAMMER STRENGTH brought in to provide a learning experience and environment to help coaches who have a strong desire for personal advancement.      Coach Molly Binetti is now tweaking the program a bit as the USC Gamecocks prepare for an off-season program that prepares South Carolina WBB for another SEC and national championship opportunity..... along with an international tip-off this November 6th in Paris, France.  In this podcast, recorded on location and surrounded by HAMMER STRENGTH equipment in Hamilton, Ohio, Molly describes how she got her career started in the strength and conditioning profession and updates us on the preparation for the coming 2023-24 season, as the team is on break in accordance with NCAA rules concerning mandatory off time. However, after mid June.... It's on!! And, it has to be because, as Binetti reminded me, the Southeastern Conference is a "super physical league.....you get your butt kicked every night".  So, a huge shout out to one of the best in the business, Molly Binetti. We wish her continued top tier success. Here's the podcast, sponsored by SPECATHLETIC and their world renowned Regupol sports flooring. Ed Cicale

It wasn't until July of 2019 that she decided to go pedal to the medal and open up her own business, Embrace It Fitness.  Erin struggled having gone through the physical changes of pregnancy and postpartum, which was really eye opening for her as a trainer. During this time, Erin became her heaviest and was not happy with the way she looked in anything but she didn't let that stop her from sharing her passion. She decided to become more knowledgeable and focus on specific demographics where she saw a void in the community. Erin then began offering moms,  Mommy and Me Bootcamps and more recently Cancer and Exercise fitness classes. Embrace It Fitness on FacebookFollow Embrace It Fitness on InstagramErin's WebsiteFollow Candace on Instagram

In this episode Justin talks about how lonely, bored and alone he felt for years after deciding that he needed to make significant changes in his life. He shares how he had a strict Christian upbringing and had little confidence growing up. When he moved and was looking to meet new people, he would go out to the casino and the bar. Once he started to grow his social circles and get attention, his confidence grew and he says he exploited this.  His social circle grew quickly, he knew everyone, felt invincible and unstoppable. He would start to wake up from nights where he would get blackout drunk, as often as 4-5 nights a week. There was an event that took place one of these drunken nights that was the catalyst for a change. Justin needed to change his social circles and his habits so that he was able to reach the potential that deep down he knew that he had and had been wasting. He shares how he has turned his life around and how he is on a never ending journey to keep reaching even further potential.Justin Rille is a personal trainer of over 11 years who works out of his own training studio and has been online coaching nutrition and habit/mindset clients for over 15 years.

Jason Worthy, president of Life Fitness, has lived the life of both an entrepreneur and executive. Now, his 20 years of fitness experience have led him to the top of the biggest fitness company in the world. This episode of Escape Your Limits is a lesson in staying relevant and keeping your finger on the pulse of fitness market trends. Watch the full episode on YouTube Jason Worthy grew up in the UK with hardworking parents, the youngest of five children. He discovered an entrepreneurial spirit from an early age, retrieving golf balls and selling them back to golfers. Since then he’s always had a desire to work hard and create something from his efforts. Following his education, Jason moved to London to become a fitness instructor and personal trainer with LA Fitness before going it alone. Entrepreneurially, Jason has faced business opportunities that haven’t worked out, discovering new strengths as a result. He has learned how to deal with failure, rejection and how to be resilient. Climbing the ladder of success at the biggest fitness company in the world before moving to the US, Jason Worthy couldn’t be more proud with the position he’s in as president of Life Fitness today. Life Fitness’ purpose is to inspire healthier lives. The Life Fitness family of brands encourages a full spectrum of active lifestyles, ranging from the traditional fitness options provided by Life Fitness, Hammer Strength, Cybex and ICG, activity for older adults and those in rehabilitation offered by SCIFIT, and the casual active pursuits inspired by Brunswick Billiards. Headquartered outside Chicago, in Rosemont, Illinois, Life Fitness is a division of Brunswick Corporation.   Episode highlights -  Reasons why staying calm is a leadership quality that’s often overlooked, and why it’s one of the most important skills to remember. Why it’s important to learn from your mistakes and how they help teach you about yourself to grow in the future. The importance of a morning routine to help you collect your thoughts and own the day. How long it takes to own a job after coming into a new role or starting a new venture. Why you should force yourself to make the difficult positions, including acknowledging your weaknesses in business and how you can get the skills to overcome them. Understanding how unwavering belief and positive mindset can get you much further than intelligence or conventional education alone. How surrounding yourself with progressive and even aggressive people when it comes to business will progress you and the company further, so long as you’re all pushing in the right direction. Set a clear vision and take your message forward. How to hire people that “get it.” Find out if potential employees can get behind the “why” of the company, and then everything cascades down from there. Ways in which you can deal with internal politics and positioning in a positive way. Overcome negativity and work with those that question what you’re doing and think they can do it better.     Join Matthew Januszek in conversation with Jason Worthy…

Investment is more than just about the stock market. Money makes the world go round, but it’s education, fitness and wellness where private equity investor Gregg Wilson is placing his bets for the future. Watch the full episode on YouTube – https://youtu.be/qbbP-2UUEKE In his own words, Gregg Wilson has always valued the dollar. He grew up in a family-held business and got to grips with the highs and lows before wanting to get involved more with the finance side. From there, he took a further interest in banking, starting as a generalist before finding his passion for entrepreneurialism in wellness and education. Gregg has had continued success throughout his career, having founded two private equity firms, worked with CIVIC Partners, which managed over $1 billion of capital for Bank of America, invested in LA Fitness at a time when profitability had soared to $40m due to revenue growth, and more. Gregg is no stranger to this world, as he has 40 years of investing under his belt. His company, Maxim Partners, supplies capital and industry-specific resources to management partners in two focused sectors – wellness and education.  In 2016, Gregg oversaw the acquisition of Cybex by Life Fitness – a $195 million move that saw an already-impressive portfolio of Hammer Strength, SCIFIT and more, bolstered with additional quality fitness equipment under the umbrella of the Brunswick Corporation.    Episode Highlights : The importance of passion when it comes to entrepreneurialism and why that passion needs to be shared by investors also. How to find advice and experience when making a big business move such as expanding abroad. The importance of knowing your customer, knowing their fitness needs and evolving with these aspects in mind. How investment groups in fitness changed the landscape for funding and buyout options for entrepreneurs.    Join Matthew Januszek in conversation with Gregg Wilson…

You can learn so much from a Clinic or Conference about what other coaches in the strength & conditioning field are doing.
