On today’s episode, the IDEAfit Pro Show digs in with Greg Johnson, MS, CSCS, owner of Varimax Fitness in Sacramento, CA. His company's client retention rate of 85-95% would be impressive during normal times, but during pandemic when so many pros have struggled with basic survival, it’s an incredibly significant stat. Today, we’ll find out how he does it and also learn more about his upcoming IDEA World session.  

Greg is owner of Varimax Fitness in Sacramento. With more than more than 20 certifications and specialty qualifications, Greg’s "never stop learning" philosophy is crystal clear. In the past decade, Greg has also become a savvy fitness entrepreneur. He sees 60-80 clients a week in a private or semi-private setting. He applies his Master’s degree in kinesiology on performance enhancement and injury prevention for all.

Cardiac Cowboys

Cardiac Cowboys

The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
