This week I had the pleasure of being joined by Nancy Newell. Nancy is the Director of Sports Performance for The Strength House (Worcester, MA) and is an elite level powerlifter herself! Nancy and I talk about her morning routine, one of her 'big rocks' when coaching youth athletes, and how culture is formed both in the gym AND with staff. Nancy delivers some amazing answers that literally leave me speechless! For more Nancy, check her out on Instagram @Nancy_Newell and @TheStrengthHouse !

Greg Robins and Tony Bonvechio, Co-owners of the Strength House, originally started their business via their online strength training clients in 2013 and have been successful enough to now make their dreams a reality. Opening in the fall of 2017, The Strength House now serves as Worcester's top strength training facility, specializing in powerlifting, strength training and sports performance. Greg and Tony have created something very special not only within the four walls of the gym, but across the strength training industry as well. (Make sure to give their own podcast a listen too!)In this episode, we chat with Greg, Tony and Nancy Newell, their Director of Sports Performance, about the initial stages of building The Strength House as well as how they ensure each of them are performing the appropriate tasks, something they refer to as "Delegate to Elevate". Although The Strength House has only been open a short time, they've already been able to create their own unique culture which embodies everything that Greg and Tony envisioned....which is by no means an easy task. This is a great episode about taking a vision, working hard and making it your own reality! So happy for you guys and can't wait to make another visit!
