 Next question is from KDC. Have you guys ever fallen out of love with fitness? What made you love it again? You know, this is a good question. What was it? I've never not liked fitness. I've definitely, there's been definitely times in my life where I've enjoyed it more. I enjoy fitness the most when I'm feeling my best, when I'm training at a high performance level and I'm feeling strong and I'm feeling aggressive in my workouts. But I didn't dislike my workouts when that didn't happen. I think that's because for me at least, and this is something I used to try to communicate to clients, exercise and workouts and fitness really is a tool to compliment my life. So through stressful times in my life or times when I wasn't feeling so good or whatever, it's definitely not as fun to go workout, but I still enjoy the workout because I'm going there to make myself feel better. But I've never really fallen out of love. I think that's the one most consistent thing I've done since I was 14, for me at least. I have a few times. Have you, Justin? I've gotten like, I'm trying to think of the word, but it was really like I got turned off. Yeah, I got fat. That's the word. I'm trying to think of the politically correct word. I got fat. Yeah, that just happened. It was weird. Yeah, no, like I got tired of kind of beating myself up, and this is because I was training wrong for a period of time because I was always trying to compete to be the strongest in whatever team setting that I was in and I was in groups with people. Like, again, this is where the whole thing with groups is sort of like near to me because it's about the individual. It's about the individual experience at the end of the day. Groups a lot of times is great because you kind of feed off momentum, but for me it was, I got to a point where I just felt like I was just beating the hell out of myself and I just needed to like take a break for a while. And so it wasn't that I was falling out of love. It was just like, okay, I'm more into music now and I was just like drawn to another passion but then realized right away I was like, oh, I don't feel good physically. You know, I feel like my energy level's dipping. Like all these things started to happen again and I hated that even more. So I was like right back to fitness. I feel like it's similar to the house cleaner who doesn't ever want to clean their own house or the construction worker who never builds his own home. Like it's similar to that. I had moments, but it was for different reasons, right? So my first experience of falling out of love with it was training. I trained so many clients the first couple of years of being a personal trainer that I got burnt of training people. Like, so I didn't lose my love for fitness as far as like me having a passion for the industry or liking to work out or like I also and I fell off and didn't work out again. It was something I was so excited about when I first got into it and I got burnt. I got burnt of like training so many clients and trying to solve problems and failing a lot. I mean, let's be honest, the trainer-client relationship is a majority of time of failure. I mean, you're lying to me if you tell me that more than 50% of your people got all the results they ever wanted. That's not a reality. We're more like baseball, you know? We're batting like 300 if we're lucky that we're getting our clients' results. So the consistent failure of not getting people to their goals and trying to help them all the time and like all I did was speak fitness all day and then when I was off, I was in the gym lifting. So I did have a moment of being burnt out. That was also the same moment that led me to realize that, oh, I like teaching trainers more than I like teaching clients. So that was that first pivot. Then I had another one where I was really upset that, this was like, I've talked about this in the podcast before where I was really upset with where I was at in my career. I wasn't moving up as fast as I wanted to move up. I left, I took off, I took a couple of years off of fitness, this is where I pursued medical marijuana. You know, that was also what made me realize how much I did love it. You know, I left it, I realized that, oh, maybe this space is not gonna provide the lifestyle that I've always wanted and the money I wanted to make. So I left it, pursued that, accomplished that and then realized, oh, wow, it wasn't about that for me. I really do miss it and came back. And then I had a little taste of that again, not that long ago after competing. You know, and the funny part about competing, I'd love to compete. I loved being jacked and strong and looking amazing. I actually didn't like how I felt about our audience, how they thought of me, that bothered me. It started to bother me that I was kind of pigeonholed into the, because we started the podcast when I was in the middle of it, that I was this bodybuilder guy and I totally never identified with that guy. Like I was never that guy to me. I became that guy to help build what we did. And so when our audience like thought of me as that all the time, like I was like, ugh. You know, so there was a part of me that kind of after being done and like accomplishing what we did, I was like over it for a while. Like, I don't want it. And that's why I was like all in a mobility. And hanging up the man key. Yeah, dude, so. I'm sick of being handsome. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Damn it. Oh my God, so hard. Too much. So women whistling at me as I walked down the street. I remember that. I remember that. Dude, it's crazy. We're all walking. What are we doing? Oh, dude, yeah, we're down in Campbell. The chick whistled at Adam. I'm like, what the hell's going on here? This doesn't happen to me. This is weird. This is too much. I could see how that could get totally. Yeah, let me shut your face. But I like this question because even though Sal's answer, I thought it was a little bad, we're not. It's true. It's not bad. It's a truth. No, no, it is a truth. And you are the most consistent. He's the most in love, let's just say. Yeah, he's got like googly eyes constantly. What's the longest, I guess, you didn't work out? Right, right. So I've gone a month before without lifting or two months even in a row. Oh, OK. That's not bad, a couple months. Yeah, yeah, so I'm definitely. But that's why I like this question because we are all everybody's lives. Can I come and go in seasons? And there's definitely seasons of my life where I am all about fitness. All I do is talk about. I mean, obviously I competed, right? So that's like a full time every single day, all I think about is fitness. And I did that for three, four years. And how to blast doing it because I love fitness. But then I have times where lifting weights and training is only one part of the whole health sphere. And real easily, the other things can get out of whack. And I've realized that now in two decades of being a personal trainer that just because my body looks cool on Instagram doesn't necessarily mean that I'm really addressing all other aspects of health in my life. And so as I've gotten older, I've learned to look at that more holistically and go, OK, sure, I'm not in the best shape of my life. But what other aspects am I really drilling home? And that's made me re-fall in love with what we do. I stopped. Well, I didn't stop working out. But I was only lifting maybe once or twice a week. But that's because I was doing jiu-jitsu at the time. So when I did jiu-jitsu for about six years. Because you're doing something else fitness. Exactly. So I never really stopped. And I do. I just love it. But I've changed it so many times. I mean, I went through a very, very tough period of my life years ago when someone close to me had a rough battle with cancer. And at those times, I would go into the gym. And my workouts were about alleviating stress. It was about making myself feel better, taking care of myself. It wasn't about building muscle or strength or having the blasts. And it was like taking a break is what it was. Let me get in here, take a break so I can go back and help out. But I've always used it as a tool. And I do. I just enjoy it for that. But honestly, I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that it's just the discipline of doing it. There's definitely times when I'm doing the workout. And I'm not thinking to myself, I love it. You have good balance, though. And I think that's the answer to this question is what can happen when you get so focused on a goal or a modality, like maybe you're in a crossfit in a competitive side or whatever. It floats your boat. Oh, I've definitely been obsessed. I know what that feels like. Yeah, and that leads to burnout. Totally. And I think that's, and so, and I've done that to myself. I've become super focused on a goal or a pursuit of something, went hard at it, and then you accomplish it. And then you're like, oh, I'm over it, right? And that was kind of like bodybuilding for me. It was such a, it was probably one of the biggest accomplishments as far as my fitness pursuits that I've ever done because of how long it took. And then when I got there and kind of achieved what I was going for, it was like, eh, whatever. Anything you do for a long period of time, you're gonna go through periods of really enjoying it and through periods of not enjoying it. But what gets you through that is the discipline. Look, I'm a dad. I love my kids more than anything. I don't always like them. There's definitely times I don't like my kids as other times when I like them even more. And I'm gonna be their dad for the rest of their lives. It's a long relationship. Same thing with fitness. There's gonna be times when you love working out and it's great. Don't fall in love with that feeling because it's gonna be very hard to stay consistent at those normal times when working out isn't as great, when it kind of sucks, when you're not as strong, when you're not feeling great, when it's not as fun. If you wanna stay consistent, it's that discipline that's the important thing to focus on. I think the key is, too, is to not look at, look, I love that they use the word fitness, too, because that encompasses so much. It's not just going and lifting weights. Like, sometimes that is spending time with my partner and my child or sometimes that is, you know, strengthening the relationships with my friends. Sometimes that is- Health. You're talking about health. Yeah, exactly. Sometimes that is, you know, reading more or, you know, practicing meditation or doing more sauna work and more inward type of work. Like, I think that's the key is to make sure that you're always in pursuit of bettering yourself in the total sphere of health. It doesn't always have to be this, I'm going to the gym and hammering the weights three days a week and I'm following the maps anabolic program. Like, sometimes it just looks different and being okay with that so long as you are always moving in the right direction. Personal development. If you're always trying to improve yourself as a person, then fitness will probably find its way into your life most of the time.
