Today’s guest is John Wolf of Onnit. Onnit is an Austin, TX-based health and wellness brand focused on encouraging a peak level of performance through the best in nutritional supplementation, health-conscious foods, and unconventional fitness equipment and training. 

 

John Wolf is Onnit's Chief Fitness Officer, and an expert in unconventional training methods such as kettlebell, steel club, and suspension training. With 16-plus years of experience in the fitness industry, he has worked with rehab clients and athletes of all levels including Joe Rogan. He moves like Spider Man and can deadlift more than 500 pounds any day of the week.

 

Our discussion today digs deep into John’s story and how fitness saved his life from the depths of addiction. John was hooked on different drugs including meth, alcohol, and cocaine. To overcome these addictions he completely transformed his habits and used exercise and martial arts to channel his negative behaviors into something positive. This all couldn’t have been done without the help of an unsung hero who found him on the side of the road drunk and drove him home. That can ride was the moment that ultimately led to him making the transformation for good. We talk about the ins and outs of his journey including what caused him to use the drugs and how he crawled out of the darkness.

 

John shares more in-depth about Onnit and Aubrey Marcus including how they met, what Onnit’s mission is and how it’s different from other fitness companies. We chat about different mindset subjects including goal setting, overcoming plateaus, and the importance of the inner dialogue. Our convo also gets into different fitness topics like programming, how to stay consistent and how to know if your workout program is actually effective.

 

John also talks about what it’s like to train Joe Rogan and more!
