It’s a beautiful transformation…From excited and a little nervous to start ➡️ To the shock in awe phase where you’re questioning everything and thinking you may die ➡️ To the end of the week where you realize you already feel better and have the confidence that you got this 🎯

A lot of my clients are a lot of things to a lot of people.

And when you’re responsible for so much, it’s easy to let yourself slip down your own priority list.

One thing they quickly learn is that even when free time is already very limited, making a couple hours a week for themselves can make a huge impact for themselves and how they show up for others.

They don’t want to bring their half-assed self to the game of life. They want to show up like a rockstar for the people they love, the people they lead, and the things they want to win at.

Taking care of yourself isn’t selfish. It’s part of being able to give your best to everyone and everything that matters to you.

My job is to make sure the time you invest in yourself translates into performing at your best when it matters most. 🎯

Really proud of our JYT Soccer Team this year! ⚽️

It was awesome to see these kids come together and play. They had a great season, winning all but two games, but the real win was how they showed up for each other.

They brought great attitudes, were coachable, played as a team, celebrated as a team, and displayed a competitive spirit all season long.

Even though this group as a whole will never play together as a team again, I hope every kid walks away with something valuable from the experience. Something they can carry with them into whatever they do next.

And lastly, a big thank you to coaches Kelly Younkins and Jaylyne Marie for the time, effort, and energy you gave this team.

I’m not someone who likes slapping the JYT logo on just anything. But you two represented what JYT stands for. You showed up as your best selves, coached these kids the right way, and worked hard to give them a positive experience.

That matters to me, and I know it matters to the families, too.

Thank you everyone involved for what you gave for the team. 🫶

THE GYM IS THE TOOL…YOUR LIFE IS THE TEST 🎯

My goal for you is to perform better outside this facility than you do inside it.

Setting PRs, having great workouts, and doing things you’ve never done before are all great. But the real win is when what you build here starts improving your life outside these walls.

Whether that’s racing, sports, business, powerlifting, or simply showing up as a better version of yourself, the goal is to help you perform at a greater capacity in the areas that matter most to you.

JYT isn’t your typical gym culture. We’re not just here to make you better at working out.

We’re here to prepare you to perform in your life.

The gym is where we build the tools and do the work. What you do with them outside these walls is what matters most to me as your coach. 🤝

STARTING WITH A COACH 🎯

Hiring a coach for the first time can come with a lot of uncertainty. New place, new people, new exercises, and a whole new routine.

Some of my clients who have achieved the most incredible transformations started with little to no experience in a gym.

That’s why onboarding matters. Hiring a coach is meant to produce not only results, but bringing speed and simplicity to your life.

TAKING OUT THE GUESSWORK

Learning exercises, using equipment, understanding technique, and knowing what to do can feel overwhelming. My job is to make that process clear and comfortable.

BEING NEW IS OKAY

You should feel welcomed, supported, and excited to walk through the door. I take the time to help new clients understand the facility, expectations, and everything they need to feel at home.

GETTING YOU UP TO SPEED

Week one is about finding your footing, learning the process, and adjusting to something new. By week four, the goal is to feel more confident, establish momentum, and start seeing meaningful progress.

Starting something new is hard enough. You shouldn’t have to figure it all out on your own.

That’s what having a coach is for.

Part 2 video on coaching to build people up to get them to@perform better 🎯

I purposely keep the atmosphere light and playful at the JYT HQ Facility.

I believe the best training environment is one where people feel free and comfortable being themselves.

No, it’s not a free-for-all. No, it doesn’t mean people are jacking around. And no, it doesn’t mean people aren’t training hard.

What I’ve learned is that when you take motivated people and put them into an environment that feels playful and free, but is still governed by expectations, culture, and effort, you can extract a lot from them.

One thing I’ve unfortunately become a little jaded to is the feeling of walking into JYT for the first time.

People who are new or haven’t been there in a long time will tell me there’s an immediate vibe when they walk through the door: “this is a place where people work and things happen.”

Selfishly and sadly, I don’t really get to experience that feeling anymore. I’m there 5–6 days a week and, to me, it’s my place of work.

But I’m really proud that after all these years, we’ve been able to create an environment that gives so many other people that feeling. 🙌

This is a topic I could probably cover on a three-hour podcast, but I tried to condense my thoughts into one short video.

I truly believe that 99% of people respond and perform better when they’re in an environment that focuses on building them up versus breaking them down.

That might sound obvious, but so much of the performance world still operates through criticism, fear, pressure, and constantly pointing out what someone is doing wrong.

Standards should be high. Accountability matters. Hard conversations are necessary. And pushing people is what moves the needle.

But none of those require destroying someone’s confidence.

Making people feel confident, giving them permission to perform at the highest level, and making them believe they belong there is a performance cheat code. 🎯

Story Time: When the worlds of transformation and building your edge collide. Everyone is on their own journey. And it’s not about what you have done up to this point, it’s about what you’re going to do next.

NUTRITION 🍎

I got asked over the weekend about my philosophy on nutrition and meal plans. Basically, strict plans that limit you to specific foods versus a more flexible approach.

Here’s how I do it.

When I onboard a client, I give them a simple one-page meal plan based on who they are. It gets them in the ballpark: enough protein, quality carbs, fruits, vegetables, and enough food to fuel performance and recovery.

That’s where we start.

From there, we have real human-to-human conversations about their goals, performance, lifestyle, and how they actually like to eat. I listen before putting someone into a box.

When it comes to weight loss, there are a lot of ways to achieve it. Create enough of a calorie deficit and pounds will come off. That’s why most diets technically “work.”

But losing weight isn’t the only thing I’m trying to solve for.

Can we lose fat while maintaining energy and recovery? Can you enjoy how you eat? Can we reduce stress around food? And can we build something you could realistically sustain for the rest of your life?

That’s the difference between following a diet and actually being coached.

At scale, you need stricter boundaries. But when you have the time and space to problem-solve with an individual, you can create a much higher-quality environment for them to operate in. 🎯
