Joe spends the remainder of the show sharing his "Top 5 Strategies to Prevent Stress Eating at Work and/or Late at Night."

Together, Joe and Chris share their "Top 6 reasons most gyms fail within the first 1-3 years"... More specifically, 30% of gyms close within the first 12 months and by year 3, the failure rate climbs to between 50-70%! If you are a gym owner or an aspiring gym owner this is a MUST LISTEN! (That is, if you DON'T want to become another statistic!) And for those of you who don't own gyms - there are a ton of great business/life lessons, valuable information, and (of course) funny moments! Give it a listen...

This week Ben Bruno makes his 5th appearance on the Industrial Strength Show and it just may be his best [most impactful] appearance yet! Ben has been "catchin' strays" from a handful of outspoken coaches online who [indirectly] blame him for an injury that occurred during the NBA Finals to one of his clients. Ben has NOT responded to the criticism online, but on today's show he speaks out on the topic of "Personal Trainers & Injury Prevention - Who's To Blame When An Athlete Gets Hurt?" Ben also explains the logistics of training pro athletes in the off-season [As you'll find out - the general public has NO IDEA what really goes on behind-the-scenes]. Furthermore, Ben candidly reveals his current frustration with social media, ie, the type of content that goes viral vs the type of content that "flops". Additionally, you'll hear Joe D's unsolicited advice to Joel Seedman and other coaches who claim to "have the answer" whenever an injury occurs to a famous athlete. *For a full list of Show Notes w/ Timestamps visit www.IndustrialStrengthShow.com.
