Howdy y’all, and thank you for clicking play on this week’s fitness-fueled episode of David’s Saturday Night Sit Back!
Joining me today is Christoforos Jordan, aka Omega Aesthetic — a certified personal trainer (ISSA), online fitness coach, and kinesiology student at the University of Texas. CJ’s mission is simple: help people burn fat, gain muscle, and build unshakable self-confidence through sustainable fitness habits and mental discipline.
Over the last 18 months, CJ’s been grinding solo—balancing online coaching, a media business, and now a new full-time role as a personal social media guide. He’s using this new gig to invest in his own growth, hire mentors, and unlock new levels of income—all while staying committed to helping others improve their lives through faith, fitness, and honesty.
This episode is packed with unfiltered takes on the fitness industry, including its smoke-and-mirror gimmicks, his thoughts on run clubs, steroid use among teens, and how social media affects self-perception. Plus, we dive into CJ’s journey with faith, humility, and how he uses challenges like anxiety to fuel transformation.
