Description

Change is hard and getting people to change is harder. Josh and Jordan bring a combined 24 years of personal training, sports performance, and mindset coaching to shine some light on one of the toughest things you could ever do: implement and stick with personal change.  Workout, nutrition, and mindset tips and more, plus a behind the scenes take on the fitness industry, running a small business, and how even fitness role models are real people too.
