Podcasts about revival strength

In this week's episode of Healthspan Academy, I interviewed Marcus Filly, who has been a leader in the fitness industry for 10+ years. Marcus talked about his journey from sport to med school to become a 6-time CrossFit Games athlete. We chatted about the essential training elements to optimize healthspan and how to prioritize and balance the key habits with a demanding life schedule. Marcus and I also talked about the logistics of programming for sustainability and longevity to keep in peak functional shape for as long as possible.  Marcus is the CEO and Founder of Revival Strength, as well as the creator of the Functional Bodybuilding training method. He is a six-time CrossFit Games competitor (2016 12th fittest) and has 20 years of expertise coaching and structuring individual and group training programs for clients all around the world.  The desire to assist people to live healthier lifestyles inspired Marcus to leave part way through medical school and pursue a career in coaching. After reaching the pinnacle of his competitive career and experiencing burnout and injury, he created the Functional Bodybuilding Method, which combines bodybuilding techniques with functional movements focusing on longevity, strength, and aesthetics to help people look good and move well for as long as possible. Currently, he leads a team of coaches and creates online Functional Bodybuilding training, nutrition, and education programs. He also co-hosts the “Look Good Move Well Podcast”. Find out more about Marcus on his website at www.functional-bodybuilding.com and on Instagram at @marcusfilly. *** Please note that the content discussed in this podcast is intended for self-education and is not to be interpreted as medical advice.

In today's episode we sit down and talk with Marcus Filly. Owner and operator of Revival Strength and Functional Bodybuilding.Marcus was a 6x CrossFit Games athlete with his best finish in 2016 finishing in 12th place in the world! Since then Marcus has put the majority of his focus in building his coaching business and raising a family.In this podcast we get to see a side of Marcus most of you might not see very often. On social media you may only get to see his workouts and his epically crafted meals on his instagram and YouTube page but today we dive a little bit into his back story.We talk about his life from high school, college and his first couple years in medical school and how that journey shaped his decision to choose health and fitness as his method for helping people instead of spending another 6 years in school before ever getting to practice anything he's learned.We talk about his coaching approach when it comes to Functional Bodybuilding and his hope to help as many people as possible "stay in the game" longer than they ever expected.We talk about common misunderstandings people have when looking at Marcus through the social media sense. How the most influential people in his life right now are all women. And finally how his focus isn't on legacy but rather on building a successful business that in 10-15 years time will create the legacy for him through their programs and results.I thoroughly enjoyed this conversation with Marcus and wish we could've gone for another 45 mins! I hope you guys enjoy as well!Follow Marcus @marcusfillyFollow Functional Bodybuilding @functional.bodybuildingFollow me @chrispage_coach

If you're curious about how Revival Strength and Functional Bodybuilding got started, we're sharing the story of how our business partnership began along with a few practical takeaways. How did Marcus go from former affiliate owner to coaching a few remote clients to a starting a booming online business? If you're trying to establish more of an online presence, work with a dream client, or pivot your fitness business online, we hope this conversation will help.

Marcus grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area. He played multiple sports as a child including soccer, baseball and golf, which eventually led to a collegiate career in soccer at the University of California, Berkeley. There he earned his degree in Molecular and Cell Biology with an emphasis in Nutrition and Physiology. After Berkeley he complete a year of graduate work at the Ohio State University School of Medicine. His interest in both athletics and human health and performance eventually led him to CrossFit in 2007. He has gone on to compete at the CrossFit Games 6 times, three times as an individual (2016 12th fittest) and three times as a team member (2012 6th fittest team). Marcus is also the captain and member of the Phoenix Rise in the NPGL. For two years he has been voted to the all GRID league team, in 2016 earning 1st team honors, and in 2015 earning the award for leadership excellence. Marcus has been a health and fitness coach for 8 years since leaving Medical School in 2009. He was formerly a CrossFit facility owner for 5 years, has completed all 5 of the OPEX CCP courses, and has coached clients remotely from all over the world. He has coached athletes at the CrossFit Games as well as several Regionals athletes. He lives with his wife Megan, and two daughters.

In this episode of Strength Chat, I got the opportunity to speak with the founder of Revival Strength, Marcus Filly. From speaking with Marcus, it was clear that he is passionate about helping people achieve their health and fitness goals and doing so in a way that they feel and look better in a sustainable way. Too often you can see people opting for the easier or quicker option, but never actually getting closer to achieving their goals. Therefore, in this episode we chatted about what functional training is, and can that differ person to person, as well as getting outside of your comfort zone and the fear of failure.

WHAT'S GOING ON GUYS!!!! On today's episode of Nicely-Built Radio, I have the pleasure of interviewing with Brianna Lamb. Brianna is a functional bodybuilding coach for Revival Strength where she uses her foundations of Crossfit and OPEX to teach individuals to not only look their best, but move well while they are at it. This ep. was absolutely so much fun because we were able to discuss nutrition in college athletics, being vulnerable even when you have to prove yourself, getting your hormones in-check, and SO MUCH MORE. You can find Bri on Instagram at @briannalamb or on Revival Strength's website.

Revival Strength founder Marcus Filly talks about how he stepped away from a path he thought was expected of him and how he built upon his experiences as a CrossFit gym owner and CrossFit Games athlete to create his own company and put a unique stamp on the world of health and fitness.

This episode I chat with Brianna Lamb. Brianna is the head coach at Revival Strength, an ex- regionals Crossfit athlete and all-round awesome lady!

Meet Coach Bri from Revival Strength in California. Badass athlete turned CF Games Bound Athlete that found herself burned out and depleted. She's now a thriving career coach who empowers her clients to use fitness as a tool to tackle a better life.

Marcus Filly is a 6x CrossFit Games competitor, a lifelong athlete, and a professional fitness coach. Marcus is the creator of Functional Bodybuilding and the owner of Revival Strength, both of which help athletes and individuals look better, feel stronger, and live healthier lives. We discuss Marcus' training philosophy, dealing with failure, his unique approach to fitness, and more.

This week's guest, Marcus Filly, and I share a very common storyline from our youth.   Marcus grew up with, as he puts it, a pressure to meet other people's expectations of him — expectations often rooted in accomplishments. As I detail in my recently released book, The Involved Man, I struggled with the same issues as well.   In his early 20s, Marcus experienced an "awakening" that shifted the trajectory of his life. He'd been an athlete and a gym-goer for many years before that, but things really took off for him at about that time once he got closer to who he really was.   Now, as a husband to his wife, Megan; a father to his two daughters, the owner of Revival Strength (https://revival-strength.com/), and the creator of his functional bodybuilding programming, Marcus is providing so much value to the fitness community as he tries to get others to enjoy training and exercise as he helps others move better.   Check out Marcus's "Look Good. Move Well." podcast at https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/look-good-move-well/id1360675823.    This episode is sponsored by Tonal (https://www.tonal.com/), a smart at-home gym that essentially replaces all of the machines that you would find in a big box gym with its digital weight system capable of up to 200 pounds of resistance.

Marcus Filly is the owner of Revival Strength and Revive-Rx, as well as a multiple time CrossFit Games athlete. Marcus has popularized the concept of Functional Bodybuilding and a more measured approach to intensity in fitness training - especially for people whose goal is to look good, feel good and move well (not necessarily compete at a high level). Marcus is a highly analytical individual, and we discuss finding the balance between being systematic and going with the flow, creating content for yourself and creating content for an audience, and many hilarious stories from training with Danny Nichols and the GRID League.

Welcome to the awakening of functional bodybuilding.   Marcus Filly, the founder of Revival Strength, joins the Brute Podcast for a second time to take us to ground zero of functional bodybuilding.

Do you want to do what you love, but you aren’t exactly sure where to start? 6x CrossFit games athlete and Revival Strength owner Marcus Filly talks about his journey of discovering his passions and forming a career in the health and fitness world. Topics include pursuing what you love, finding a balance between worrying too much and enjoying life, and using your platform to help transform lives.

This week, I chat with Dr. Megan Kaden, co-creator of the Art and Science of connection. She has her own private psychology practice, and also works with the coaches at Marcus Filly’s gym, Revival Strength.

Marcus Filly is the owner of Revival Strength and creator of Functional Bodybuilding.  Growing up in the San Francisco Bay Area, he played multiple sports as a child including soccer, baseball, and golf, which eventually led to a collegiate career in soccer at the University of California, Berkeley. There he earned his degree in Molecular and Cell Biology with an emphasis in Nutrition and Physiology. After Berkeley, he completed a year of graduate work at the Ohio State University School of Medicine. His interest in both athletics and human health and performance eventually led him to CrossFit in 2007. He has gone on to compete at the CrossFit Games 6 times, three times as an individual (2016 12th fittest) and three times as a team member (2012 6th fittest team). Marcus is also the captain and member of the Phoenix Rise in the NPGL. For two years he has been voted to the all GRID league team, in 2016 earning 1st team honors, and in 2015 earning the award for leadership excellence. Marcus has been a health and fitness coach for 8 years since leaving Medical School in 2009. He was formerly a CrossFit facility owner for 5 years, has completed all 5 of the OPEX CCP courses, and has coached clients remotely from all over the world. He has coached athletes at the CrossFit Games as well as several Regionals athletes. He lives with his wife Megan, and daughter. He lists his parents, Barbara and Roy, as his role models and drive to succeed in life.

The season finale of Uncharted Performance is upon us! We close out season 7 of the show with the multi-talented Misbah Haque, host of the very successful Airborne Mind Podcast and coach at Revival Strength. We find out how Misbah has accomplished a great deal in a relatively short time, and the unique characteristics that have enabled him to considerably expand as a person, coach, host, and entrepreneur. Our conversation centers around several main themes including creativity, exploring, questioning, listening, and coaching. We then learn how Misbah incorporates these five elements into his movement practice, relationships, personal development, and self expression through conscious and persistent effort while being vulnerable and breaking a few rules along the way. The future is definitely bright for this up and coming leader. Enjoy!

He's back by popular demand! Marcus Filly of Revival Strength and Functional Bodybuilding returns to the show New Year's day. We catch up on family and training then "build of the base" we established back in Episode 65. We dive deeper into Functional Bodybuilding and the Awaken Training Series to discuss the evolution of the program from it's inception of being a model of what Marcus' training looked like to having a greater impact on other people based on his experience. We outline the progression of movements and how different training variables are adjusted during the program, as well as emphasize the importance of tempo and time under tension. Our conversation is highlighted by the topic of commitment to change and being loyal to a process to reap its long lasting benefits.

Brianna is also a coach here at Revival Strength and we get to shine light on some of the admirable qualities I get to notice about her in that role.

Shanna comes from a swimming background, where she won a world championship in the 200m Backstroke in 2006 and multiple national titles from 2006-2012. She's currently being coached by Mike Lee of OPEX and is focused on developing herself to compete in the 40+ division of the CrossFit Games this year. The most fascinating part for me is talking about the honesty it takes to live the lifestyle of a competitor while also pursuing a coaching career.

Marcus Filly has been competing in CrossFit since the beginning. A 6x Games athlete, he remembers the days when working out once a day was enough to get you there, and this week we talk to him about the evolution of CrossFit as the gap between Games athletes and “Average Joes” has continued to expand. Marcus tells us what his prescription for an “average” athlete seeking lifelong fitness would be (hint: you need to get out of the gym every once in a while), and we talk about why (and how) he’s establishing a gym culture where it’s not just all about group training.

On this episode of Uncharted Performance we are joined by a very successful and immensely intelligent athlete and coach, 6 times CrossFit games competitor, founder of Revival Strength and most importantly new dad, Marcus Filly. What Marcus has developed is to what to outsiders might see as a seamless blend of how many of us first got into fitness, chasing that pump, and what many of us have transitioned to and grown to love, functional fitness. Before we get to Functional Bodybuilding and a walkthrough the very popular Awaken Training Series, we discuss how he got to now starting with his first ever training session and how that left him, his interest and passion in the physical and health sciences, the role medical school played in defining his mission, and the five major impact points in his training life, all along connecting all the dots. What is Functional Bodybuilding then exactly? Great question, but you will just have to listen to the episode to find out specifically.
