Owen Dockham started Live Oak Strength and Nutrition to offer a rational, safe, and effective approach to exercise not found anywhere else in the eastern bay area. Having supervised over 7000 one-on-one personal training sessions, with individuals ranging from ages 13-87, Owen has found that everyone has something positive to gain from their unique, evidence based approach to exercise. Through his career in the health and wellness industry, Owen has learned how to help guide people accomplish meaningful results; effectively, without hurting them and without wasting their time doing dangerous or inefficient movements. Owen believes exercise should enhance life and not consume it, and should never under any circumstances cause injury. That’s why Owen and his team adhere to the principles of high-intensity training, supervising brief and intense workouts, on a one-on-one basis, in a beautiful facility free of distractions. Like many health practitioners, Owen's passion for what he does stems from his own personal obstacles that were overcome by implementing the modality he's now deeply invested in teaching. Many wasted hours at the gym following genetically gifted fitness marketer’s advice, left Owen constantly frustrated and feeling like a failure. He learned, studied and implemented the principles of high-intensity training into his workouts and started to gain muscle, energy, and feel more confident and experience less regular aches and pains. He knew he had to share this amazing work with as many people as possible, and nothing was going to stop him. Outside of Live Oak, Owen enjoys playing classical and jazz piano, the outdoors, the company of his beautiful fiancée Lucy, two pit bulls, Luna and Sophie and their cat Darwin. It is his dream that everyone has the strength, courage and patience to pursue their dreams like he has. Owen is honoured to help anyone willing to go for it.

A certified personal trainer since 1997, and a Licensed Kinesitherapist since 2002, Craig started his career in the fitness industry after being mesmerised watching his own ACL surgery. He started seeing clients in small gyms and private studios before embarking on his own to run a successful in-home training business that would eventually offer in-home High Intensity Training. He finally opened his first studio in a 600 sq/ft office space in 2011, and now operates in his own 1400 sq/ft space in Quebec, Canada - Book Here Email Craig - craig@gethit [dot] ca This episode is a master class on how to start, deliver and grow a mobile in-home HIT business. A mobile HIT business can be a cost effective (low entry) and high-profit business. On it's own or with online coaching (distance training) it can become a great way to make a living and help people doing something you love. Also, if desired, it can become a great stepping stone to starting a strength training facility further down the line. In this episode, we cover: How to get started from scratch with no qualifications or personal training experience How to deliver and instruct an in-home HIT workout step-by-step The importance of centralising and finding a high-profit area Finding the right clientele How to market How to figure out pricing Scaling and online coaching How to transition to opening a HIT facility ... and much more Below is a blog post from Craig on how to start a mobile in-home HIT business. The blog post is very entertaining and useful. I've added my own notes with "[LN: ....]" Enter Craig Hubert The fitness industry is an interesting place, kind of one big contradiction. On one end, it represents the picture of what we all strive to be, vibrant, active, strong, agile, sporting a lean physique, with perfect blood markers from cholesterol to sugars. Yet on the other end, the industry is littered with bad information, dangerous training techniques, questionable diets, and looks more like one large, incredibly bad, infomercial. Below are my suggestions to get you started in the industry, as well as how to go about starting your own in-home HIT centered training business. Getting Started Most people getting involved in personal training think they’ll be doing 40+ sessions per week making $100/ session. The reality is, for most, getting to a solid income takes work - if you want the gold, ya gotta dig. Get certified. This is a no brainer. As most people will start in a big box gym, a certification is required. ACSM, NSCA, ACE are the more well known, but if HIT is your goal, HITUNI is a solid program - Use CW10 to get 10% off - LINK Immerse yourself! Read everything, In HIT, this includes the Nautilus bulletins, books by McGuff, Little, Darden, Westcott, to name a few. Read books from authors outside HIT, Poliquin, Pavel, Dan John for example. And attend seminars - lots of ‘em. The good ones will teach you things no university can. I heard there’s a pretty good one each year in Minnesota ... [LN: Craig is referring to the Resistance Exercise Conference, use CorporateWarrior10 to get 10% off - LINK ] You need to work with people, so to Globo Gym you go! The benefit to working in a large gym is not the pay, it generally sucks, but you get to work with a ton of people, with different shapes and sizes, interests and abilities. This is where you learn the craft. You’ll also be highly entertained by dumb shit.... Oh yes, stupidity is rampant in the big box gyms. Find a mentor. This is key IMO, find that person doing what you want to do and reach out - everybody is different, so do your homework and approach them in a courteous, respectful manner. In-Home Training A HIT centered In-home business fit together like OJ’s glove (wait, no... they actually fit... ) so maybe more like Taylor Swift and Kanye West (wait...nope) any ways, it works. [LN: I'm British and don't understand this reference ... ] Define your market. Who will be your primary client? Seniors, Executives, Housewives? (it doesn’t mean you can’t train all walks of life, but in my experience, referrals are key, and like refer like). Once defined then... Tailor your message - HIT has plenty of benefits, but not everybody cares about the same things. A retired senior might not care that a sessions is 20-30 minutes, as time may not be an issue. However the emphasis on safety may resonate to there failing ears (me being funny, not offensive). Pick your area to work based on your target market, and do not leave it. In-home training does not work well if you’re spending all of your time driving out of your way from one client to the next. Schedule for traffic and road condition issues. Have to cross train tracks to get to aclient? Leave yourself some extra time to accommodate a possible wait for passing trains. Nothing will stress you out more than falling behind early in your day, causing you to be late for most clients. Add about 15-20% over the standard price for a training session in a gym. This is a soft number, as your experience as well as your model will influence your price points. Other Considerations Get your house in order first - Try to start debt free, there is nothing worse than making business decisions based on short term personal financial needs that will negatively impact the long term vision of your business. This can be as simple as setting your pricing too low to make the quick buck now, but makes raising your rates much harder in the future (people get very accustomed to a low price, and tend to be very resistant to increases.) Bootstrap - It’s easy to think that borrowing money will help you out, but please try to avoid both banks and private lenders. I know lots of people borrow successfully, I just feel that when it’s all on you, you’ll think smarter, and be way more creative. It’s easy to throw money at problems, being creative to find work arounds is what creates lasting businesses. [LN: this is huge and important to underscore. Low budgets force you to do the hard thinking and pick the RIGHT things to do with the highest impact]. Keep distractions to a minimum - It is way easier to think big, doing the things necessary to grow a large business (if that’s the goal) when you don’t have a family or a serious relationship that can potentially draw your attention away from the big picture - it’s a harsh statement, but something I’ve experienced first hand. My decisions don’t just affect me, they can have lasting consequences on my family, as such, I second guess more, and riskier plays that had large potential upsides tend to get shelved. I’m not saying that it can’t be done, just that the emotional strain is much harder. In-Home Training can be very lucrative, at $50/ 30 minute session price tag, doing a reasonable 40 sessions per week (amounts to 20 hours of actual work) brings in $2000/week. Which is good money in many areas of the world. Keeping in mind that your price reflects the market you’re in - NYC would most likely be closer to $100 or more per session. Treat you In-Home business like you would any other, with professionalism and integrity, and the sky's the limit.

Drew Baye is one of the top high intensity training experts. He's also a prolific writer, researcher, and elite level personal trainer and the founder of Baye.com, the most popular high intensity training blog. In this episode, Drew and I go right back to basics. If you are a beginner to high intensity strength training and/or a little confused about how it differs from conventional resistance training, you will find this really valuable. However, even advanced HIT trainees or trainers will find this a very helpful reminder on how to make the most of a HIT workout. In this episode, we cover: What is HIT? How to construct workouts How to perform exercises How to measure progress How to manage volume and frequency ... and much more I had an epiphany during the conversation: improvements on paper are not the goal. Mastering the workout is the goal. Improvements in the numbers on the paper are a by-product and not a goal. In The 4-Hour Body, the author, Tim Ferriss featured Drew to demonstrate how it’s possible to get to 3-4% body fat with no “cardio”.

Jay has been featured on many popular Podcast interviews, magazines and has modeled for popular athletic companies such as Under Armour and MuscleTech. This is Jay's third appearance on Corporate Warrior. We did plan to discuss HIT and diet in Part 2 but decided to focus on business instead. This episode is focused on Jay's current exercise and diet regimen and how his approach and views have changed since we discussed this in Part 1 a year ago. Since opening his new gym, BioFit, Jay has reduced his training frequency to enable him to invest more time in growing his business. Jay has reduced from a split routine twice per week to a single full-body routine once every 5-10 days. Check out his workout below. Furthermore, sometimes he only eats one meal per day! Don't think genetics are that important? Think again. In this episode, Jay reveals all.

I used to work 80+ hours per week and waste time on unimportant tasks that made me feel busy. Fast forward ~3 years later to my last position in B2B IT Sales, I managed to get my most important stuff done in 2-hours per day, close multiple million-pound contracts, smash my sales targets and earn a six-figure income ( ... had I not left to live in Ireland and grow Corporate Warrior). Time management is a misnomer. Increased productivity isn't about more efficiency: doing things well. It's about effectiveness: doing the right things. What are you scared of? What are you not doing to avoid conflict? What's been sitting on your to-do list for weeks? Chances are, these are the force multipliers. Tim Ferriss's New York Times Best Seller, The 4-Hour Work Week, supercharged my productivity. However, at first, and for a long while, it seemed too abstract. How is it possible to achieve more with less? Isn't it just about working really hard? How can I only check email once or twice per day? This episode will show you how to implement tried and test principles of productivity into your job/HIT business to free-up time for your side-hustle and/or simply 10x career/business growth.

Drew Baye is one of the top high intensity training experts around today. He is the founder and owner of Baye.com, the most popular high intensity training website online. He’s a prolific writer, researcher, and elite level personal trainer. To listen to my previous episode with Drew Baye, go here: Part 1 and Part 2. In The 4-Hour Body, the author, Tim Ferriss featured Drew to demonstrate how it’s possible to get to 3-4% body fat with no “cardio”. I recently moved to Galway, Ireland, and have no access to fancy MedX and Nautilus machines (not until I build my own gym! Muhaha!). I decided to continue my high intensity body weight training using Drew Baye's Project Kratos, which is an excellent eBook on how to use just body weight training to maximise strength, muscle mass and overall health. In this episode, Drew answers my questions about Project Kratos and body weight high intensity training in general. Drew kicks off by explaining the principles of high intensity training that apply to any workout protocol. We then discuss how this fits into a high intensity body weight training context over the long term. In this episode we cover: How to get past sticking points in Project Kratos and optimise your overall results The importance of knowing when to introduce specialisation programs How to train to failure and not rely on a secondary exercise, drop set, etc to "get there" This episode is brought to you by Exercise Science LLC, your one-stop shop for all of your exercise needs.

Dr Andy Galpin (Instagram and Twitter) has a degree in exercise science, a masters in Human Movement Sciences and a PhD in Human Bioenergetics (studying the structure and function of human skeletal muscle at the single cell level), This also resulted in the opening of the Biochemistry and Molecular Exercise Physiology Laboratory (BMEP) at CSU Fullerton. The BMEP lab studies the acute responses and chronic adaptations of human skeletal muscle in response to high force, velocity, power and fatiguing exercise from the whole body, down to the individual muscle fiber and even into the individual DNA. The team does this by taking muscle biopsies from non-athletes and elite athletes from different backgrounds (e.g. normal college student, MMA fighter, Boxer, Weightlifter, etc.) and use highly sophisticated laboratory techniques and equipment to address questions about single fiber "type", size, function, protein quantity, diameter, mitochondria, and myonuclear function. Check this video they shot with Conor McGregor to measure the angular velocity of his spinning back kick! I stand corrected: this was 3 years ago! Not "recently" like I said in the introduction to this episode *blush*. I really enjoyed Andy Galpin’s interview on The Joe Rogan Experience which led me to ask him on to Corporate Warrior. Every now and again, I like to invite someone on to the show who isn’t from a HIT background and has a different opinion on what exercise is the most effective for various desirable outcomes. Whilst Andy does believe that HIT provides some value, he believes that traditional high intensity training falls short in meeting all of the requirements for optimising health, longevity and even muscle gain. Check out Andy's new book: Unplugged: Evolve from Technology to Upgrade Your Fitness, Performance, & Consciousness (Amazon US / Amazon UK) In this episode we cover: Andy's opinions on the pros and cons of the typical HIT protocol How Andy adds muscle to his athletes What Andy has changed his mind about regarding muscle adaptation/growth and post-workout nutrition timing in recent memory and much more This episode is brought to you by Hituni.com, providers of the best online courses in high intensity training that come highly recommended by Dr. Doug McGuff and Discover Strength CEO, Luke Carlson.

This episode is a little bit of an experiment. My guest is Richard Chartrand. Richard is not a trainer and he does not own a big health and fitness business. He is student of HIT and has been a HIT proponent for 35 years. Richard was featured in Holiday Thanks, a popular article written by Dr Doug McGuff in 2009, which explains how Richard may have single handedly revitalised the HIT movement with his amazing physical transformation following cardiac surgery. Richard documented his transformation on drdarden.com under My Progress after Cardiac Surgery. Some of you have been asking for an interview with a trainee for some time. Richard shares what he has learnt in his pursuit of optimal health and fitness, and I think many of you will find this very interesting and useful.

Here's two of Jay's workout logs: Today's upper body split Each exercise is done with a 5-10 second lifting phase and 5-10 second lowering phase. 1 set of each exercise to muscular failure. - Arm cross - 1 set to failure Immediately followed by - Chest Press (nautilus one) break down set - Seated Row - Supinated Pull down - Reverse delt fly - shoulder press - bicep curl - tricep push down Using a slow rep cadence allows you to eliminate momentum and let the muscle do all of the work along with maximizing muscle fiber recruitment. It's not about the exercises you do or how often you do them. It's HOW you do them - intensely. Lower body split 2 or 3 days later (when Jay doesn't feel like he's been run over by a truck) Same cadence, single set to failure principle as above. - Leg extension Immediately followed by - Leg press - rest pause/ breakdown set - Leg curl - Calf raise This lower body workout takes around 8-minutes to complete.

Keith Norris (@KeithNorris) is a renown strength and conditioning coach and a serial entrepreneur involved in five successful businesses: Efficient Exercise, ARXFit, ID Life, Paleo f(x) and Ancestral Momentum (Theory to Practice). Keith has been on the podcast before to talk about exercise and nutrition. On this occasion, we talk about business. It may come as no surprise that business is another big interest of mine. I have decided to expand the Corporate Warrior agenda to include business content, and other content (TBD), in the future. But don't worry, I will still bring on amazing guests to talk about health, fitness (particularly HIT) and nutrition. What really astounds me about Keith, is his ability to run 5 successful businesses while making sure he exercises regularly and gets 8 to 9 hours of sleep per night (on most occasions). I don't know many full time employees, let alone serial entrepreneurs, who exercise just once per week or get more than 5 hours of sleep per night. Keith largely attributes his success in business and well-being to his time management skills and focus on amplifying his strengths. In this podcast you will learn why you should focus on your strengths, and how to manage your time for maximum output, and much more...
