After playing Division 1 football at Fresno State, Joe received a BS degree in Business Marketing.   Joe started his first business soon after graduation.

He was selected by the same publication as one of the top 30 executives under the age of 30 in the Valley. In that same year, Joe was chosen as 1 of 50 from a pool of 1,000 applicants, and the youngest to participate in the MIT “Birthing of Giants” Program. Joe sold his interest in the business in 1995 to a firm who took the chain public.    In 1997, Joe purchased his first athletic club building in Milpitas, Ca. He has successfully continued buying commercial fitness property with athletic club businesses in northern and central California and Arizona. Joe has been working with companies and individuals who own fitness property and also operate their fitness business within the company. Through a sale leaseback, Joe and his company www.WeBuyFitnessRealEstate.com, purchase fitness property, and through a long-term lease, the current fitness business continues their operations.    In line with his passion for fitness, Joe opened WeightsandBars.com, a local equipment retail business specializing in functional equipment for home gyms, CrossFit boxes and health clubs.    Brief Summary:  Today is all about increasing profit!

Dr. Bo Babenko has been in the CrossFit world for over a decade as a gym member, a coach, a manager of a gym in Dubai, and most relevantly to this show, as a physical therapist. Bo has a unique ability to merge his analytical approach with a human impact for his clients and he is a massive asset to the Active Life 1 on 1 staff.    Sheila Rixon is a current Active Life 1 on 1 client who exemplifies exactly the type of clients who we are privileged to help. She had spent over $1000 in physical therapy, and years in a CrossFit gym to improve her aches and pains to no avail. She went all in with Active Life and got the life she longed for back.     What would you do if the gym, and your activities of daily living stopped being fun, and started being too painful to perform. You stop seeing your friends as often, you stop getting that emotional release, you lose part of who you are. This is essentially where Sheila found herself. The frustration was at its pique, and she decided to go all in. Find out what happened and how it happened in this episode.  Minute Breakdown:   0-10 - How much is this going to cost? 11-20 - What’s it like to take over a client from another coach? 21-30 - What is crepitus? 31-40 - How to learn breathing and bracing from a distance. 41-50 - Doesn’t it get boring to be on a linear program? 51-60 - The magnitude of getting results. 61 - 70 - How to be present.

I was lucky enough to get to chat with Hunter just hours after he found out he was getting cut from the competition floor at the 2019 CrossFit Games on day 1.    His “Wild Card” spot caused quite the stir in the community and love him or hate him, you bet there was a ton of people tuning in just to see how he was going to do.   In this episode we chat about his experience here at the games, his feelings on getting cut earlier than he anticipated, and future goals.    Oh ya, and in true Hunter fashion, we rattled off for another 20min about some of the most inappropriate things you can imagine. There’s a lot of humility in this episode, laughter, and learning experiences. Guaranteed to be one of your all time faves! #bulkpony   ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Show notes: http://www.shruggedcollective.com/rc-hunter ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ► Subscribe to Shrugged Collective's Channel Here http://bit.ly/BarbellShruggedSubscribe 📲 🎧 Listen to the audio version on the Apple Podcast App or Stitcher for Android Here- http://bit.ly/BarbellShruggedApple http://bit.ly/BarbellShruggedStitcher Shrugged Collective is a network of fitness, health and performance shows that help people achieve their physical and mental health goals.  Usually in the gym, but outside as well.

Ashleigh chats with coach and metabolism expert (and kiteboarding daredevil) Dr. Mike T Nelson about his latest research and coaching work, including a deep dive into metabolic flexibility, sleep hygiene, the differences between good and bad stress, myths around nutrition and training for longevity, and why hibernating bears might have the right idea on healthy living (anyone else want to sign up for the “sleep through winter” health plan?) This one is equal parts fun and educational – hope you enjoy it!    Dr. Mike T. Nelson has spent more than 18 years of his life learning how the human body works, specifically focusing on how to properly condition it to burn fat and become stronger, more flexible, and healthier. He’s has a PhD in Exercise Physiology, a BA in Natural Science, and an MS in Biomechanics. He’s an adjunct professor and a member of the American College of Sports Medicine. He’s been called in to share his techniques with top government agencies. The techniques he’s developed, and the results Mike gets for his clients have been featured in international magazines, in scientific publications, and on websites across the globe.      Minute Breakdown:    4 - 15 Intro to Mike and his passion for kiteboarding and foil boarding, and a discussion of fun and dangerous sports in general      15 –  19 Mike’s approach to coaching: a focus on time-tested fundamentals and research-backed information, with an open mind to “newer” concepts like red light therapy. Why it’s great to explore and play with ideas but while keeping scientifically-backed and solid principles as your foundation (ie, no such thing as shortcuts!)     19 –27  We talk about his new chilly pad for his bed and research on temperature as it relates to sleep quality; connecting this research to his totally normal hobby researching hibernating bears, and  how they can sleep, fast, and lose fat without losing muscle      27 – 34 We talk about the “training and eating for performance vs longevity” discussion, and why Mike rejects the notion that these two goals must be mutually exclusive. Why factors like muscle mass, aerobic capacity, and grip strength are better indicators of longevity than chronic calorie restriction (thank goodness)      34 – 55 A deep dive into the concept of metabolic flexibility: what it is and why it’s useful; why keto may not necessarily be the best tool to make you metabolically flexible;  why reasonable fasting may achieve the same results in a more sustainable way; and why you don’t have to get rid of carbs entirely and deal with nasty keto flu transitions to benefit from metabolic flexibility    55 – 59 Talking stress and inflammation, and the differences between good stress (eustress) and bad stress (distress)     59 – 1:03 How Mike quantifies health benchmarks and progress with clients, and why a healthy mix of data and experimentation can encourage anti-fragility    1:03 -  I ask Mike about his FlexDiet certification       Learn more at miketnelson.com, and say hi to Mike on Twitter @miketnelson or Instagram @drmiketnelson    Reach out to me on Instagram @themusclemaven to say hi and tell me what you thought of the podcast, head to ashleighvanhouten.com to sign up for my weekly health and fitness newsletter, and if you enjoyed the episode please share on social media and leave me a nice rating and review on iTunes!    Learn more about Beekeeper’s Naturals and their raw, enzymatic honey products – including a delicious cognitive enhancing nootropic and a honey + hemp product, and how they can support your mental and physical performance: head to www.beekeepersnaturals.com/musclemaven and use the code MUSCLEMAVEN at checkout for a 15% discount!     Subscribe to Butcher Box and get grass-fed and free range meat delivered directly to your door each month - choose from one of their boxes or customize your own, and because you're cutting out the middle-man (the grocery stores) you get super high quality meat at a lower price.
