Thank you, Kim, Thank you Kim. Yeah, it's good to
be here this morning.

Speaker 1 (03:15):
So glad listen. I wanted to make sure people know
because when you get into the fitness world, that's like
a special genre, if that makes sense. So it's birthed
out of something. I would love for you to just
tell us. Have you always been physically fit and into
that in your younger years.

Speaker 2 (03:32):
Let's start there.

Speaker 4 (03:34):
Oh well, no, no, no, I had to I had
to look at myself in my early twenties and say, well,
maybe I should be doing a little bit more physically.
And that's when I lived in Houston. So I went
out and I got a trainer. Her name was Katina,
and she was my first trainer, and my first session

(03:59):
going to her, I actually ate.

Speaker 3 (04:01):
So I remember this session is because it's very memorable.

Speaker 4 (04:04):
I ate some windy chicken nuggets thinking that that would
have been a healthy, a healthy meal before my first session,
and yeah, she worked me so hard I threw them
all up.

Speaker 1 (04:14):
So yes, if so, that's that's a takeaway. Do not
eat some fast food before.

Speaker 2 (04:21):
You work out.

Speaker 4 (04:22):
Don't do nothing fried, nothing fried if you've never worked
out before, you know, try to go with the spoodie,
something light on your stomach. But yeah, that that was
my intro into fitness, working on myself.

Speaker 3 (04:35):
So that was back in Houston.

Speaker 4 (04:38):
I maybe started working with her at the age of
twenty six, and then from there it just turned into
a passion. I always had a gym phobia, and a
lot of people do a lot of people just don't
know how to identify it. So back in my when
I started to work with her, I started to work
with her is because I didn't want to go to

(04:58):
a gym and I didn't want to fanned out be
someone who didn't know what they.

Speaker 3 (05:03):
Were doing, or the gym phobia we're.

Speaker 4 (05:07):
Gonna talk about. Yeah, yeah, I didn't want to be
the one to feel like that people were looking at
me because I didn't know what I was doing.

Speaker 3 (05:17):
I was new to the gym, so it's good for
me to.

Speaker 4 (05:19):
Start off with the trainer, and I slowly got out
of that gym phobia and I and I started to
have the confidence and me going to the gym and
doing what's best for me.

Speaker 3 (05:30):
But that took a long time to get through.

Speaker 2 (05:32):
Mmmm.

Speaker 1 (05:33):
Okay, I'm interested in learning more about I'm sure a
lot of people have jim phobia. I'm gonna look it
up right quick because I don't know. But when you
think about I can only speak personally. When I go
to the gym, I'm looking at the equipment, I'm reading
the instructions figure it out, and I do feel like
everybody's like, are you gonna use it or you're not

(05:55):
give you or not. I'm not gonna use it and
don't know how to use it, so I have.

Speaker 2 (06:00):
To do it quick.

Speaker 1 (06:01):
Tutorial right, correct, And so are you saying that that's
the gym phobia.

Speaker 4 (06:06):
Piece, Well it yes, that's that's that's tied into it too.
But also to you know, some people are just not
comfortable in that type of space where other people are
comfortable at and it takes, and it takes, it takes
some time, It takes some practice and consistency of going
there to become comfortable in what your routine is and

(06:27):
how you're going to.

Speaker 3 (06:27):
Work yourself out.

Speaker 4 (06:29):
So a lot of people will associate others with what
we're doing. So if it's happy news, we want to
go and share with others. But then within that happy news,
some people could really take your happy news with their
bad attitude. So but by including others in that, we
are always we're always within those positions of how we

(06:51):
put ourself of by telling other people. So what I
mean by all that is is that when we go
to a gym, we are surrounded by other people, other
people who are doing other things. Some people may want
to chat a little bit in the gym. Some people
have their music on and ignore you in the gym,
But we are around others and we are feeling how
others are viewing us, if they're viewing us or not,

(07:11):
or if they're looking at us or they're looking like, well,
how long are you going to read that information on that.

Speaker 3 (07:16):
Equipment, going to use it or not.

Speaker 4 (07:17):
So it's just those small things that really scare people
off from going to a gym, from people who have
never been to the gym. So that's why a lot
of people when they go to the gym, they just
stick on the treadmills or the bike, something that's a
little bit more familiar.

Speaker 1 (07:32):
That's good.

Speaker 2 (07:33):
That's good.

Speaker 1 (07:33):
And I was actually just looking at statistic up and
according to word Guru, this is a I got this
off of off of social media. It says that the industry,
the gym industry is worth ninety six point seven billion
dollars and membership base. There are over one hundred and
eighty four million gym members worldwide. Wow, that's a lot

(07:54):
of gym memberships worldwide, and globally, over two hundred and
five thousand gym.

Speaker 2 (08:00):
Are operating globally.

Speaker 3 (08:02):
That's huge.

Speaker 1 (08:04):
So what you're talking about, I know, I have a
son that's heavily involved in the fitness industry as well.
He's lost over one hundred pounds. Oh wow, and went
on his own personal weight loss journey. I'll I'll pull
his picture up because I'm really I'm so proud of him.

Speaker 3 (08:20):
He just went on.

Speaker 1 (08:21):
This was him, This was him when he first started,
and this is him after he lost one hundred pounds.

Speaker 3 (08:26):
Oh wow. Yes, yeah, that's a huge change.

Speaker 1 (08:29):
That's a huge change. And all through diet. Actually he
hates saying diet, but because diet, I guess, is a
bad word when it comes. He went through proper eating
and proper eating and exercise and discipline. So with you, Frederick,
how did how did your transformation happen.

Speaker 2 (08:49):
In your twenties with this when you threw.

Speaker 3 (08:51):
Up your nuggets?

Speaker 4 (08:55):
Is But but from that day, from that day for
my transfer started, I started to work with her three
times a week.

Speaker 3 (09:05):
She started to slowly push me into working out on
my own.

Speaker 4 (09:09):
That didn't happen so fast because of that phobia of
people looking at me and those types of things. But
it took me moving back here to New Orleans. So,
if you're fast, for possibly five years after that journey,
it was sort of in and out of working out

(09:29):
after working with her, because I was still in that
phase of not wanting to go to the gym by
myself because I was afraid of people looking at me.
But once I moved back here to New Orleans, I
was still in restaurant management. So before I started in
the fitness industry, I was in restaurant management, so long

(09:50):
hours and doing those things. So a lot of the
lifestyle didn't fit where I was trying to go with
fitness either. So after I made that change and shift
I started, I was hired as a kickboxing instructor. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (10:05):
Yeah, that was my first fitness job. I was a
kickboxing instructor.

Speaker 4 (10:08):
I was not certified in anything because we were just
teaching in a group setting, so it was only for fitness.

Speaker 3 (10:14):
It was only for fitness purposes.

Speaker 4 (10:17):
And then from there that's when I truly believe my
fitness journey started because I started to really take it seriously.
I started to work on my own routines. I started
to go to the gym by myself, so I started
to I started to gather that confidence.

Speaker 3 (10:31):
From not giving up on it.

Speaker 1 (10:33):
Okay, that's good, that's good. And you know what, You're
like a wonderful guest, Frederick, because what you do is
you actually say a point and then you pause and give.

Speaker 2 (10:43):
Me a chance to interject.

Speaker 4 (10:44):
I'm like, okay, that's a good place.

Speaker 1 (10:48):
Pause for a minute and let her say a professional guest,
I'm loving it. Listen. I do want to know to
you in the studio audience, what is your favorite workout routine.
Do you actually have a workout routine? What exercise do
you enjoy doing the most? Please put it in the
comments section. We'll pull it up throughout today's broadcast as well,

(11:10):
and if you're watching a replay, please put it in.
We'll still make your reacknowledge your comments even if it's
at a later setting. Okay, I know, I can say,
right quick, my favorite is zoomba I enjoy so.

Speaker 3 (11:22):
Right, okay, okay, okay, no, that's good.

Speaker 4 (11:26):
My favorite workouts will be now just cardio base, so
it could be the elliptical.

Speaker 3 (11:34):
Well, I really love the elliptical, and because.

Speaker 4 (11:37):
I have really attached to the burning aspect of it,
the mind clearing on how cardio you could just move
and put your music on and just burn.

Speaker 3 (11:48):
I love that.

Speaker 4 (11:49):
But also with zoombum zooma that is a great burning
aspect too, So put on some music and just dance.

Speaker 1 (11:58):
Back in the day, I had a little skirt, had
the little the little dangly change. Couldn't tell me, You
couldn't tell me nothing anything. I'll be like, hey, get
back in my mind, right back and get it. Yeah,
I'm gonna start doing some more zoom But I went
to class recently and I was like, I've actually loved

(12:20):
this zoomer class.

Speaker 3 (12:22):
I think.

Speaker 1 (12:23):
You know, sometimes we stray away and when life gets
busy and different things accring to be like, how am
I going to infuse all of these other pieces that
are the fun pieces? But really it's not just about fun.
It's about health, right, correct?

Speaker 3 (12:36):
It is? It is, it is. The main focus.

Speaker 4 (12:39):
Is is that you stay consistent. So you may not
always want to be there. We don't always want to work,
so but we still have to go there, right And
because we have, we have we have responsibilities that work
tie into. So once we start to tie in our
help with that consistency, see, you'll start to see that change.

Speaker 3 (13:02):
It takes one day at a time, so we typically just.

Speaker 4 (13:06):
Wanted to change in thirty days because we see a
lot of ads and a lot of postings and a
lot of getting you excited because oh we could give
you a flat ap of flat fabs.

Speaker 3 (13:16):
And all this and thirty days.

Speaker 2 (13:17):
Oh, I tell you what I thought you got?

Speaker 3 (13:19):
Ready say, oh, well, well I did. I did. I
wasn't gonna say that, but I stuck it back in
my mouth.

Speaker 2 (13:28):
Okay, you did like a force edit right.

Speaker 3 (13:30):
Yes, I did, like so much.

Speaker 1 (13:38):
And it's like, Okay, I don't have those capabilities, y'all.

Speaker 4 (13:42):
So what you're gonna say, I had to switch it around.
But no, that's the but. But that's the world that
we live in that everything could come fast. You could
get rich fast, you could do a lot of things fast,
and that's that's a lot of selling points. But in fitness,
it's not a fast turnaround. You did not gain all
that weight in one day.

Speaker 3 (14:02):
Of thirty days. It took years.

Speaker 4 (14:04):
You just didn't notice it because if you were in
that zone, you were in that comfort zone. But getting
out of it, it does take one day at a time.

Speaker 2 (14:13):
That's good. That's really good advice.

Speaker 1 (14:15):
So everyone that's listening and watching today, even our audio
podcast listeners, to just keep in mind that what Frederick
is saying here is that you it's not an overnight
success situation.

Speaker 2 (14:27):
You're not gonna get fast.

Speaker 1 (14:28):
I'm not gonna slip and say anything wrong, but get
fast abs.

Speaker 4 (14:33):
Right, yes, fast abs, let me stop playing playing too much?

Speaker 3 (14:42):
Right.

Speaker 1 (14:42):
But it's a it's a process and so and so
what I what I'm hearing you say is that that
process just takes the time that it takes.

Speaker 2 (14:52):
And just when do how often do you.

Speaker 1 (14:54):
Recommend that a person would gauge their success? Would it
be week, step on the scale, monthly? Don't step on
the scale?

Speaker 3 (15:02):
Ever?

Speaker 2 (15:03):
What's your feedback by that?

Speaker 3 (15:06):
Oh, well, let's scale. That scale could be your enemy,
it could be your.

Speaker 4 (15:10):
Friends sometimes, and sometimes you just need to leave it
words that and just go on to the gym and
continue on with the feeling of how you feel. I
think that that's the most important aspect of being consistent
in your gym routine. Once you start to feel it,
that's the first and then you will see it. You
don't have to see it in numbers of the scale.

(15:32):
You'll see it your genes, you'll see how your clothes fit.
People around you will see it. And I think that
that's a good comfort because if those numbers on the
scale are not changing, keep in mind, that could be
muscle mass, so fat is turned into muscle so as
you're losing a fact, now you are gaining the muscle mass,

(15:54):
which will entail make your numbers look bigger on the scale.

Speaker 3 (15:59):
So you have to keep all those things in mind.

Speaker 4 (16:01):
And what I will say is, on your fitness journey,
just go with that feeling because that feeling is amazing.
You feel better mentally physically, and you're ready to take
on the world. Keep that feeling and that consistency will
follow behind it.

Speaker 1 (16:14):
So in this case, a lot of times when at
least from a spiritual perspective, it's like, no, don't just
be going on a feeling, go with the facts, read
the word of God, and follow the word and so forth.
But what you're saying is, in this case, go with
the feeling because the feeling it's really getting you back
in the proper direction that your body will follow the feeling,
is what I'm understanding.

Speaker 4 (16:33):
Correct, Correct, Because a lot of the times the numbers
on the scale will really beat you up, and then
once you're beat up, then you're slowly moving back to
the place where you're trying to get out of.

Speaker 3 (16:47):
So mentally, if.

Speaker 4 (16:49):
You're overweight, you are you're stuck in that continuous cycle
until you decide to get out that sitle right now,
if your cycle is depending on the end result of
what a number may look like on the scale, then yeah, no,
you have to you have to find that confidence within
yourself is because that's how you got here is to

(17:10):
think that those type of material worldly things are are
are or what is satisfying for you and what will
actually uplift you mentally. So what I would say uplift
us mentally is actually physically putting in the work. So
you have to get out there. You have to get
to the gym first, and then once you finish one workout,

(17:33):
don't go jump on the scale, you know, think of planning.

Speaker 3 (17:36):
Your next workout.

Speaker 4 (17:37):
That's what we should be putting the time into planning
finding the time to plan the next workout. Now, what
I would say, three months down the line, if you
want to look at the scale, yes, take a bite
at it, you know. But if you're doing that every workout,
if you're doing that every week, right, that's that's really
tough on you mentally because the dumbers may not change.
So what the numbers may not change, how you're gonna

(17:59):
beat yourself up? That's that's not good to part that's
not a good part of a fitness journey.

Speaker 1 (18:03):
You're such an inspiration and I feel better just having
you here on McKim jacobs show today because I feel like, Kim,
don't stress about any numbers. All you need to do
is just go enjoy your workout, enjoy skating.

Speaker 2 (18:19):
I like to skate and stuff.

Speaker 1 (18:20):
But one time I fell in the garage because I
was practicing my skating. I said back and I was like, hey, hey,
and I was out in the garage by myself and.

Speaker 2 (18:28):
I'm like, I fell back.

Speaker 1 (18:30):
I was like, I'm falling and I can't get up.
I was screaming my cell phone. My cell phone was
on the treadmill thing.

Speaker 2 (18:37):
I was like.

Speaker 1 (18:38):
One of my sons came out. He was like, what
in the world, Mom, what are you doing?

Speaker 2 (18:44):
Do you know?

Speaker 1 (18:44):
I put those skates up on something and I haven't
picked them back up since. As a result, I fell
on the concrete.

Speaker 4 (18:51):
Graduating yeah, yeah, yeah, And a lot of seniors that
they're falling in their homes and then months down the line,
people people are wondering, well, why.

Speaker 3 (19:03):
They're moving so slow up the stairs and.

Speaker 4 (19:04):
Why they're so cautious about things is because all it
takes is one fall, and one fall will take you
off that path of where you are going at with
the consistency to working out. So my advice to that
is is that remember where you are so and what
I mean by that is is that you may have
loved to skate so much in your teams and early

(19:26):
twenties and those type of things, but now you're not
that age, so you have to you have to be
cautious to where you're skating and how you're skating, how
fast you're gone, and all those things, because one fall
could be a major setback.

Speaker 1 (19:41):
It was a major setback for me, and I actually
think now I'll go to the skating ring, but I'm
going to use that senior thing just I'm gonna give
it another try, but it's going to be a slow,
a slow moving effort. Talk to us, if you will,
about why you became so passionate about working specifically with seniors.

Speaker 3 (20:03):
Yees.

Speaker 4 (20:03):
So, I moved back to New Orleans roughly in the
twenty sixteen going into twenty seventeen. You know, during that time,
I was still managing restaurants. I was the general manager
of a restaurant, and I was making that transition so
I finally got hired as a kickboxing instructor.

Speaker 3 (20:23):
Look at them and.

Speaker 4 (20:24):
Yep, maybe early twenty eighteen, and my mom she was
still working. I remember still taking her to work, and
she was still doing her caregiving and sitting thing.

Speaker 3 (20:37):
Of what she does, and she'd been doing that for
thirty years. But something happened on the job where.

Speaker 4 (20:44):
Her left toe must have hit something in her shoe
and it is a puncture, and she sat on it
so meaning like she didn't do nothing about it, okay,
And it turned into maybe a week or so down
the line, it turned into much more because she was

(21:08):
a diabetic and from there her toe became swollen. She
had a seizure and she was rushed to the hospital.
So from there it was kidney failure. The seizure they
had to afputape. It went from just the toe to

(21:30):
below the left knee, so they had to cut it
off from there to.

Speaker 3 (21:32):
Get rid of the affection.

Speaker 2 (21:34):
Oh my god.

Speaker 3 (21:36):
And from there the latter part, well, the.

Speaker 4 (21:43):
Maybe the first to second quarter of twenty eighteen, she
was in the hospital. So I don't remember much because
it all just happened so fast. But yeah, yeah, she
was in the hospital for a really long time. So
you know, during that process of still working at the
kickboxing studio, still visiting her in the hospital, I did

(22:04):
become a certified trainer because I knew that that's where
I wanted to take my career.

Speaker 3 (22:08):
Next. I started to work at Planning Fitness, making fifty
making fifteen dollars an hour as a train I was happy, though,
I was really happy that that was your world.

Speaker 1 (22:18):
You had already boxing exity and you are you done?

Speaker 3 (22:22):
Got it? Made it big time?

Speaker 2 (22:23):
You in the gym.

Speaker 4 (22:24):
Yeah, I'm in a gym now. So but then my
mom is still going through what she's going through. Fast
forward to when they send her home. She's in a
wheelchair and they gave her so we had to put
her own Medicaid and Medicare and also should apply for
SoCal security because she wasn't able to work anymore. So

(22:45):
Medicaid and Medicare jointly only paid for thirty days of
physical therapy and home for her. So coming out of
the hospital, you only got thirty days to say, well,
you're going to learn some good balance with this one leg.

Speaker 3 (22:58):
You're gonna learn something.

Speaker 4 (22:59):
We're gonna to build up strength in thirty days and
that doesn't work like that from out conversation that we
just went through. That does not work like that. It
takes months years to come back to where you was.
So a lot of times when I had the time,
I was in there watching him train my mom. So
I was learning different techniques of what he used, like

(23:20):
a resistant band and most of the resistant band of
what he used.

Speaker 1 (23:25):
So you were learning and training yourself while they were
training her.

Speaker 4 (23:30):
Correct, correct, correct, you know, just certain techniques of what
they could do or what I could do with her,
because I knew after those thirty days that I was
going to work with her, so I started to work
with her. So after they left and I started to
work with her for roughly six months and I documented it.
So she was using a resistant band, she was doing

(23:51):
sit ups on a couch, she was doing a lot
of things that help her build up the shrepp right.

Speaker 3 (23:58):
And from starting.

Speaker 4 (24:00):
To work with her to the end of working with her,
she was a different woman. She had the arm shrink
to cook. So so keep in mind, keep in mind
she did not receive a prosthetic leg. She did not
receive any because she was older, so she had to
work back on her balance and stuff, and she didn't
have all of that, but yeah, no, she she worked

(24:22):
with that wheelchair. So I worked her out from a
wheelchair and I was able to see that change over
six months. So she was able to put herself in
and out of vehicles with her arms, and she was
able to go to diallis three days a week because she.

Speaker 3 (24:36):
Did have kidney failure.

Speaker 4 (24:39):
So that that change really motivated me to then in
twenty twenty during COVID to start a new fitness.

Speaker 2 (24:48):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (24:50):
Okay, so a new fitness came was really birth out
of the love and adoration that you have for your
mom and just seem able to form get back to
where she could function and not be dependent on whoever else, whoever.

Speaker 2 (25:06):
She would have had it depend on to be able
to be in this world.

Speaker 1 (25:09):
So that's amazing, amazing, amazing. So I'm gonna put some
of these pictures up. I see I see this picture.

Speaker 2 (25:16):
Talk to me.

Speaker 4 (25:17):
Yeah yeah, well, well that's that gentility Senior Finler. That's
that's actually one of my first senior centers that I
went to to start to you know, work them out.
So this program did not start without a fight. So
what I mean by that is is that you talk
about what I know.

Speaker 3 (25:36):
I say that this program did not start without a fight.

Speaker 4 (25:39):
So and what I mean by a fight is is that,
you know, going into senior centers like Gentility, they didn't
have the money for so. Uh So when I first
started it, I was still working at Planning Fitness, but
I was voluntary my time to prove to these organizations
that all right, you have someone here who's going to
be consistent with you, who's gonna come and work your

(26:01):
seniors out and we're gonna have a good time. So yeah,
but now Gentility Senior Center is now paying a new
fitness and yeah, they're one of my they're one of
my bigger partners.

Speaker 2 (26:11):
Now, oh look at that.

Speaker 1 (26:13):
Look at that.

Speaker 2 (26:14):
Okay, let's see.

Speaker 4 (26:16):
Yes, yeah, yeah, so that's Kinship Senior Center. That's that's
one of my bigger partners.

Speaker 3 (26:23):
Also too. The instructor is in the red. That's Kelly.

Speaker 4 (26:27):
That's my chair yoga instructor. So what they're doing here
is just the chair yoga. So the first picture was
a part of the chair aerobics portion of the program,
and then were going to the chair yoga of the program,
which is good for the stretching.

Speaker 3 (26:40):
So that's good.

Speaker 4 (26:45):
Yes, yeah, yes, yes, So this picture is from Holly
Grove Senior Center. We were doing some chair aerobics because
because you know, sitting in a chair, my mom couldn't
get out of her wheelchair. Nless you'll transferred to a
culture to bid. So having that aspect of the program.

Speaker 3 (27:03):
Is really good for seniors.

Speaker 4 (27:05):
Who cannot spand a good amount of time and for
seniors who are in the wheelchair.

Speaker 3 (27:10):
So chair robe, this is what we're doing there.

Speaker 2 (27:13):
That's really good.

Speaker 1 (27:14):
And so so you're people, your focus in your niche
is specifically chair related activities because of the fact of
your senior situation.

Speaker 4 (27:27):
Yes, yeah, yes, Now, now the program does have those
aspects to it, but the program has four modality. So
I developed this program in maybe.

Speaker 3 (27:35):
Early twenty twenty one.

Speaker 4 (27:37):
So twenty twenty was all about figuring out all right,
am I going to charge the seniors for this program
or am I going to go.

Speaker 3 (27:43):
To the organizations and ask for the money.

Speaker 4 (27:46):
So so I did.

Speaker 3 (27:49):
Intel chose the organization.

Speaker 4 (27:51):
So how a New Fitness work is is that we
work business to business.

Speaker 3 (27:56):
So we work with living facilities, we work with dementia.

Speaker 4 (27:59):
Care unit as, we work with churches, we work with
senior centers and we go to the organizations and we
ask the organizations to sponsor to partner with us by
bringing fitness on site for their seniors. So our program
is all financed by the organizations who actually serve the seniors.
So so yeah, that's the change of what we're bringing

(28:22):
is is that we're not saying that old seniors who
are on set incomes on a monthly income pay us
one hundred dollars an hour. No, we're asking for the
organizations to pay us so that we could provide services
for their seniors. So the four mortalities is what we
bring to those organizations. One is line dance, so yes.

Speaker 1 (28:44):
Yes, putting their boots on the ground.

Speaker 4 (28:46):
Right, yes, yes, yes they are they they're snapping those fans, okay,
So and then and then line dance. It's good for
the seniors who want to stand, you know, like you
love zoom. But you can come out to one our
line dancer classes because it consists of the standing. And
then the other is chair yoga, which is good for
the stretching. Now, getting down to the floor and getting

(29:09):
up could be a lot for seniors. So when you
take that element out of it. You can set them
in the chair and stretch them just as well as
they're being on the floor. The next element is share aerobic,
So like I explained, that's good for the blood. Flooring,
get them sweating, but they don't have to stand because
standing could be too much for their knees or they

(29:30):
may cannot stand. And then the last and final element,
so that's three of the program. The last is shrimp resistance,
so resistant shrimp because we need the strength as we age,
so a lot of things with yes, that's the band
what we use there, so yes, yes, yes, because we

(29:56):
need that strength. You know, as we're reaching up for
things in the cabinet. As we get older, the range
of motion may not be there. You may feel a
little stocked. That's because your body is telling you, well,
you need to start to lift that arm up more.
You need to lift it up more. And most of
us may say, oh, well I want to. I'm not
gonna lift it up.

Speaker 3 (30:15):
Because it has some fatigue or something. No, you have to,
you should. You have to move the body. You have
to lift that arm up. So those are the elements.

Speaker 4 (30:27):
Well, so so what happens then once you start to
work something that don't have the range of motion. So
if you experience a fatigue, so meaning that oh ouch,
oh ouch or ouch, you know you just have to
work on bringing it up and down. This may be
your up and down, but do you see over time

(30:49):
it goes higher. One day at a time, it goes higher.
So so if you work on that consistency, then it
brings it back. Yes, yes, yes, you're able to recover
the body. You just have to be consistent about it. Okay,
you know, if you do ten of these, so if
this you're up, then if you keep going for full

(31:11):
motion up and down, you'll see how you're up both
from here to here in month's time. Okay, but you
got to keep that consistency. So now, how I say
is that if you're experiencing some fatigue and pain, those
are two different things.

Speaker 3 (31:27):
So keep that in mind.

Speaker 1 (31:28):
That's good, that's good. Fatigue and pain are two different things.
Somebody type that fatigue and pain are two different things.

Speaker 2 (31:36):
Very important.

Speaker 4 (31:36):
Yeah, yes, a fatigue would be more so when I
lift it up, you feel a difference. But when it's
down and relaxing, it's just fine. You know, you may
move it around, it's just fine, you know. That's just
a body saying, oh, all right, you haven't done this
in a long time. Let's do this a little bit
more and you'll see how that fatigue slowly goes away. Okay,

(31:57):
pain will be is that as I'm sitting here, is
in pain.

Speaker 3 (32:01):
You should see a doctor for that. Okay.

Speaker 4 (32:03):
That that means that's something that is not in your control.
You should see what's actually going on. It is bothering
you when you're not even moving in that's the difference
between the two.

Speaker 3 (32:13):
So when you're.

Speaker 4 (32:14):
Working out and the muscles just fell a little fatigue,
keep challenging yourself slowly, okay, slowly, build upon it. But
if you feel like that is it's extreme pain when
you're not working out, you should get that checked out.

Speaker 1 (32:29):
I love I love the fact that you are differentiating.
If it's tired and you can have the range of
motion increase and improve over the course of you doing it,
then keep on exercising and strengthening that muscle. But if
it's but if it's pain, when you're going to do
that and you can feel sharp pain, see a doctor.

Speaker 3 (32:49):
Correct.

Speaker 1 (32:50):
Correct good advice, very good advice. Okay, I know, yeah,
I don't know what mine is over here. I'll be like, okay,
sensation up to my head when I just oh, do
I see a doctor.

Speaker 2 (33:05):
And then believe not to Frederick.

Speaker 1 (33:07):
There are times when I know, for mothers anyway, where
something may happen when you're giving birth, like I pulled
the muscle.

Speaker 2 (33:15):
Not that you're my counselor right now, but I'm just.

Speaker 3 (33:16):
Thinking, Okay, so I pulled.

Speaker 1 (33:19):
A muscle my clearly seventeen years ago, because my daughter
is seventeen years old, and the same muscle that I
pulled right in this area will just trigger and it'll
get like flared up or aggravated, and I'll be like,
that's the muscle I pulled when I gave when I
was giving birth to Jaalab. What do you recommend in
any kind of situations like that. I haven't even talked

(33:40):
to my doctor about. I'm talking to Frederick in the world.

Speaker 4 (33:42):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, So I will start with see your doctor, okay,
just to make sure that it's something. But you've always
judged too, you know, if it's if it's only activated
doing certain motions, then you know that possibly it should
work on stretching muscle.

Speaker 3 (34:00):
Maybe that will help with it. And then if.

Speaker 4 (34:04):
It's if it's pain as you're laying down or when
you wake up, and those type of things, you should definitely.

Speaker 3 (34:10):
See a doctor.

Speaker 4 (34:11):
Okay, So always, oh yeah, you should always judge that
by if it's continuous pain, or if it's just fatigue
or when I'm moving, or if it's just an after soreness.

Speaker 3 (34:23):
Or something like that.

Speaker 1 (34:24):
So that's good, okay. Uh So, what are some of
the exercises that you recommend. I know you've went through
a few, but I'd love for you to just talk
about a few more of what you recommend for seniors
to be able to do.

Speaker 3 (34:40):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (34:41):
So the first thing of what I would recommend here
is things for your needs. So we all experience those
bad needs, okay, and those needs, those these don't go
bad overnight. They've been going bad for years now, okay,
because that that's what happened as we Okay, certain things

(35:01):
don't work as good as they used to.

Speaker 3 (35:03):
Our immune systems don't work as good as it used to.
It's so much wear and tear. If it's from running
on our knees some of us love to run. If
it's from walking long distance, all of that is a
part of wear and tear.

Speaker 4 (35:17):
Process unless we start to do things that help build
up the strength within the knees. So the things they
help build up strength is squats. So you can focus
on just squatting. Yes, just keep functioning those knees going
up and down. But make sure your legs are open.
Make sure you are bending from the knees and you're
not bending from the back area, okay, because once you

(35:41):
start to do that, then your risks are blow in
the back out and when you're trying to work on
the knees. Okay, So make sure you're only bending from
your knees up and down. And if that's too much
with standing, then you could sit in a chair okay,
And you could just stand up and then sit back
down in a chair okay. Yes, So what the chair

(36:02):
does then is just support you so that you could
take that mini break as you're sitting down and then
you could stand back up. So that's just like a
squad but you just got the chair to support you.
So as many ways of working of trying to build
up the strength in your knees, you're just going to
have to start today and I think about it as

(36:24):
tomorrow or the next day or the next week to
do it, because if you keep prolonging this process, then
a knee replacement will be needed.

Speaker 3 (36:31):
So that's good.

Speaker 2 (36:33):
That's good point. Good point.

Speaker 1 (36:35):
Yeah, So we can prevent, hopefully prevent that from happening
if we follow instructions leading up to it as a
preventative measure. So I love your website, A new fitness,
A new Fitness. I'm gonna pull it in because I
want to be able to just show people. I love
telling people where they're gonna go. A new fitness dot
com is Frederick's website. But I love the fact that

(36:58):
you say your best years deserve your best health. I
love that slogan. Love it, love it. So I'm gonna
pull a couple of these images up. All of these
these people look like they are truly having a good time.

Speaker 4 (37:13):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3 (37:15):
And you know that first title.

Speaker 4 (37:19):
It was, it speaks because we all work so hard
then to just go into retirement and to just sit
at home, no more social life because we all, we all,
we all, we all attach a social life to work

(37:40):
and being young, so so we don't know how to
then socialize as well as we all retire and aging.

Speaker 3 (37:49):
So just having that up there, that that's that's your
best time.

Speaker 4 (37:52):
You deserve it. That's your best time to get out
to explore the world. That's your best time to get
in the gym. That's your best time to try different foods.
That's your best time to become a chef. But just
don't burn the house down. But you're cooking, Okay, that's
your best time to enjoy everything. Once you are retired, okay,
you have no one else to report to. Okay, you

(38:15):
focus on you now, But society has lost the track
of that. So a lot of seniors who retire or
now just sitting at hall with no social life, no
kids checking all them or anything now, and a lot
of them are suffering alone.

Speaker 2 (38:32):
Wow, I am.

Speaker 1 (38:33):
So glad that God gave you this gift, and tell
them because you're so passionate about it, and I'm reading
here says we believe that every senior deserves the opportunity
to thrive, not just exist, and your programs help them
rediscover their strength, reconnect with their bodies, reignite their passion
for life, and give me, like a testimonial or anything

(38:55):
that's been something that you're like, now, this is why
I do what I do. Any success story that really
stands out to you.

Speaker 4 (39:02):
Yes, yes, so the successor of what I always tell
because I find it some really impactful. There's a ninety
four year old at Holly Grove Senior Center and the
executive director of Miya. When I went there, she pulled

(39:23):
me aside and she was like Frederick such and such
stated that how your program. She loves your program and
she comes on these tuesdays specifically for your program. It's
because she's ninety four, but she fils seventeen now. Yes, yes, yes, yes,

(39:48):
But the more impactful thing about it is that when
you think of it, at ninety four, she didn't have
access to fitness back in her day. She went through
a whole lot to just make it too ninety four
and now fast forwarding that now she's at a senior
center which never had someone come out and do fitness

(40:09):
in a way, and now she has access to fitness
and something that she don't have to pay for, she
just have to come in attend of class.

Speaker 3 (40:16):
She feels a.

Speaker 4 (40:19):
New life now, she feels a different life now. And
that's the most impactful thing. To be thirty six and
to say that, all right, you made an impact on
someone who's ninety four who may not have had access
to you or back in her day. Now to have
her feel that way mentally and physically is amazing.

Speaker 1 (40:39):
So that's a great success story. You're gonna mess around
and have some people getting married in the senior facility.

Speaker 5 (40:45):
They're gonna be like, yes, okay, toned up a little bit, Yes, yeah,
end up being a matchmaker.

Speaker 4 (40:56):
Right you know, yes, yes, that's true.

Speaker 1 (40:59):
What about people that don't go to these different senior
facilities but maybe just in the comfort of their home,
but they are senior citizens and they're looking for some
type of exercise. Do you offer your programs virtually as
well or is it more? Is it more just only
in these facilities?

Speaker 3 (41:16):
Well we so, so we do both.

Speaker 4 (41:18):
Now we're not so heavily into the online aspect yet,
but I have been working with a r P for
three years now.

Speaker 3 (41:30):
I have a class that have come that comes on
every Thursday.

Speaker 4 (41:34):
It's called turn Up Thursday, Thursday, turn out Thursdays.

Speaker 2 (41:42):
Where do the people get to that?

Speaker 4 (41:44):
And so the class is online being zone and is
free paid by a r P. So you come on
every Thursday from ten thirty to eleven thirty and we
do different exercises it could be from a chair, it
could be standing, and it could be trip, it could
be all core. You may come for an hour and
you're like, well, how are you gonna work my core
from a chair? I'll show you how you're working from

(42:07):
a chair because we do not lay down. Nope, it's
no laying down flat. Everything is utilizing a chair or
we're focusing on spanding. So if they are seniors who
live in a different state, who's not able to enjoy
the program here in Louisiana, pretty soon we'll be around
the United States with the program. But if you are

(42:27):
a technical senior and you could log onto that computer,
visit a new Fitness dot Com in a class tab,
you'll see the online and you can register for the

Speaker 2 (45:35):
That is, you can't beat that, y'all.

Speaker 1 (45:37):
I'm hoping y'all really understand this is go go to
a new fitness. What else do you want people to
know today about your gift and how you're assaulting this earth? Frederick,
I know them if you're typing too, But I really
want people to know that this is something that God
has gifted you to do. And you're a young man

(45:59):
in my opinion, compared to the seniors that you're serving.
And yes, it was birth out of your mom and
her situation, but just because your mom had a.

Speaker 2 (46:07):
Situation does not mean you have to do what you're doing.

Speaker 3 (46:10):
What what what do.

Speaker 1 (46:13):
You see for a new fitness and where you hope
to go and how you want this to blossom?

Speaker 4 (46:20):
Well, I so so so fast forward out of twenty twenty.

Speaker 3 (46:25):
I just started in twenty twenty two.

Speaker 4 (46:29):
My mama, well, my mom, she she got multiple malama
on her spine, a form of cancer, and she became
being ridden and then then from there she it slowly
went down because she wasn't able to keep up that
physical activity, and then she passed away.

Speaker 3 (46:47):
In twenty twenty two.

Speaker 1 (46:48):
Oh, I didn't know this.

Speaker 3 (46:52):
Well yes, yes, So so the journey just didn't end
with me helping her.

Speaker 4 (46:56):
It ended with her passing and ME figuring out out, well,
how do I continue forward with something that started out
of the passion for what my love for her. But
something something pushed me, something something pushed me to really
start to form how I wanted this to roll out,

(47:17):
and how I want to help a lot of seniors,
and how I wanted to help them at a at
a mass level. So I started to form the different
modalities of the program, and I hired my first instructor
to support me because I couldn't do it myself then.

Speaker 3 (47:33):
And then I started to look at investors.

Speaker 4 (47:35):
So I did find three investors fast toward into now
twenty five and we're still fundraising. So so where do
I see this business going? I see this business. We
we have a sales director now in a bad Ruge area,
so we have someone out there who's officially now selling
the program. We we walked into during his first week

(47:58):
of training. We walked into six random places and they
all say yes, And one of them was a nursing home.
And when you walked into this nursing when you walk
into this nursing home. If you saw the seniors just
rolling around and just not doing anything to compare to
what we could bring there as professionals, right, and this

(48:19):
activity director was just so happy.

Speaker 3 (48:22):
It's just because now we could bring something that's different for.

Speaker 4 (48:27):
Their residents there. And that's when I see this program.
This program would live around the entire United States. We'll
also be training other instructors on the program and how,
and so they will also take trainers out of different
areas and turn them into instructors who are able now

(48:49):
to take care of seniors in that area. It's because
that was me. It started with me. I was a
regular personal trainer who had to slow down my routines
and I think of a muscle head that i'm training,
to think of somebody who's eighty years old that i'm training.
So I turned into a different trainer who's able to
now take care of his senior community. So that's what

(49:11):
this programmer do around the United States. It will help
it help a lot of trainers who may not have
that skill to help them transform into a senior fitness
instructor then, who are not helping the seniors within their community.

Speaker 3 (49:25):
So yes, and the years going forward.

Speaker 4 (49:27):
This year is all about the spread throughout the state
of Louisiana.

Speaker 3 (49:31):
So we're in over forty centers now and then from
there we're able for one that's huge.

Speaker 2 (49:40):
Forty cents.

Speaker 1 (49:41):
Yeah, you just recently started and here you're already expanding
to forty centers.

Speaker 2 (49:46):
And I'm sure going to go.

Speaker 1 (49:48):
If you walk in any senior facility around the country,
or you have a representative, not like I'm your agent,
but if you've got a representative walking into all of
these different senior facilities around the world, you would have
a business that would never, never, never fade away.

Speaker 4 (50:05):
It would never fail for work or no, because we
all have to get older. Like I always say, either
you're aging or you're not. And you know what you're
not mean, You ain't hear them more so which one
you prefer for the age? And you prefer to not
be here anymore? So I much prefer to be on
the living side until the lawd calls me here, So
to be on the living side, but also helping the

(50:27):
people who are still living who are aging. Because I'm
thirty six now, I'm only getting older. It's not going down,
it's going up. So so I'm gonna need something like
this in the future. Is because the regular box gyms,
they they're phasing out a lot of the senior program
right the senior programming are getting smaller. A lot of

(50:48):
it is talking the younger is because they're seeing that, oh,
if we sign this senior.

Speaker 3 (50:53):
Up, we're not gonna make any money from it.

Speaker 2 (50:57):
That's that's amazing. That is amazing.

Speaker 1 (51:00):
And you know what I'm actually seeing over here on
your on your Facebook page.

Speaker 2 (51:04):
I was trying to see if I can find a
picture of your mom, but I haven't been able to
find one.

Speaker 1 (51:08):
But I will say that, yeah, I will say that
based on me just seeing some of the things over
here on your Facebook page, that I love the fact
that you you don't really have respect or of person.
That's for me, that's that's so important that in life
that we treat everyone the way we would want to
be treated and not just be so judgmental of people,

(51:33):
because it's loving kindness and my opinion that people have
been drawn to even learn more about the God that
we say we serve, you know, in different regards.

Speaker 2 (51:42):
And so I don't know why I'm saying that to you.

Speaker 1 (51:44):
I'm saying that because I'm a new pastor, and I
think it's important that everybody shows love and and not
not hurt or harm or judge people in that regard.
And so I love the fact that when you come
to seniors and caring for seniors, a lot of times
people have thrown them away, and it's my heart sad
because those are the ones that need us the most.

Speaker 2 (52:06):
I remember Frederick real quick. I'll tell you.

Speaker 1 (52:09):
I used to always volunteer at a nursing home. And
when I first started dating, I had promised this senior
that I would bring her lollipop, and so I couldn't
just leave because you know, you got the lollipop, and
I want to sit there while she east the lollipop.

Speaker 2 (52:25):
But my date was like, are.

Speaker 3 (52:27):
You kidding me?

Speaker 1 (52:28):
She doesn't have teeth.

Speaker 2 (52:28):
You're gonna sit here.

Speaker 1 (52:29):
While she gumes on that lollipop for like an hour
before we go on our date. I was like, absolutely,
because I promised that I would do this for her
core So I just I don't know why I got
so much another But anyway, the point is, I just
think it's so important that what you're doing and the
work that you're doing to care for the elderly when

(52:50):
people have disregarded them and dismissed them, and you're taking
this on as an initiative.

Speaker 2 (52:55):
So congratulations and kudos to you for doing that.

Speaker 3 (52:58):
Well, thank you, thank you. And there are there are
other trainers who are.

Speaker 4 (53:06):
Out there doing it, and I just want to shout
them out too. Yes, y'all, y'all keep going taking care
of your seniors in your community. You know we that
we are doing it at a different level in a sense,
but we're all on the same team, okay. And a
lot of those trainers have given up because it's you

(53:31):
don't You don't initially see money behind it. You have
to work for free or you have to low ball
your regular price to get through the door. And a
lot of them don't survive with it, so they find
themselves back average of because they're not able to live
off of what they're trying to do for the community.
But with striving to change all of that too. I

(53:54):
strive to pay my instructors a good quality wage and
show them the need of them help, and they say,
your community and how it's needed in their communities and
around the country. So a new Fitness is charging forward
with a mission that I feel like everyone could support
because we all have a mother, we all have a fault,

(54:16):
we have a neighbor, we all have someone who's aging,
even ourselves, and we would love for someone like you
to sit down and say, well, yes, I'm gonna see
what you and talk to you as you eat this
lilipop okay, and I'm gonna miss whatever else that I
need to do.

Speaker 3 (54:33):
Is because this is important.

Speaker 4 (54:35):
So and that's the most important aspect of what I
do is being committed to it, but also training these
instructors on it. If you see the instructors that I
hire and that I tell the story about how it
begins with, then how they're going to continue the mission,
it really sits with a lot of them because once

(54:56):
they go out, they see that these sans are waiting
for the class, and that they they are excited for
the class, and that they really want the class to
live in their censers and buy a new fitness coming there.

Speaker 3 (55:08):
We are now able to offer this to them.

Speaker 4 (55:11):
And then that picture right there's from a church from
the Bethany United Methodist Church that's one of our first
church and that's the church members. Because church members are
getting older and a lot of the kids are not
coming to a church. So a lot of the pastors
are losing their older members due to illnesses and not

(55:33):
able to physically function anymore. So bringing fitness to churches
is important too. That's all a part of the mission.

Speaker 1 (55:41):
Look at God, I'm just so proud of you. I'm
really proud of you, and thank you. And so a
new fitness everyone, a new fitness life through movement is
what they are offering with Frederick Griffith and all of
his trainers. And I see different comments that came up.
I see you. Mom My mom is on she's a
senior in her seven and she said, oh my goodness,

(56:02):
what an awesome, awesome situation. Your reason and your why
has turned into a legacy. You are what I consider

Speaker 2 (56:13):
