On today’s episode I am joined by Yosh Stoklosa, whom I’ve known for many years through our association with Romeo Athletics (in Enfield and Avon, Connecticut), him as a coach and trainer and myself as a long-time member.
We talked about coaching, the fitness industry, optimal health, and training, including programming and Olympic lifting.
Yosh is a Certified Sports Performance Coach and Personal Trainer at Romeo Athletics in Connecticut. Through his professional career as a Behavioral Counselor and Group Fitness Coach, Yosh learned about the importance of mental health and wellness, and now serves as a guide and mentor to others on their own fitness journey.
You'll learn all about:
- Yosh's background in fitness, coaching, and mental health
- His approach to training, programming, and coaching others
- Lessons as a Behavioral Counselor that apply to fitness / personal training
- What optimal health looks like
- The current state of the fitness industry
- Who benefits the most from hiring a coach (is it everyone?)
- Advice for someone who wants to go it alone to get started, be consistent, and find success in their training
- Top 3 priorities/tips regarding training
- How someone finds purpose (to stick with the plan / optimize their health)
- Olympic lifting (why someone would learn, benefits, why you enjoy competing)
