Gym and Tonic

First of all... JAIRO LOPEZ IS BACK IN THE STU! What a nice surprise!
Jairo and Amy discuss gym updates and improvements, upcoming events (a HYROX sim AND a street lifting comp!!), and then jump into Jairo's current fitness journey and how it looks VERY different from what it looked like several years ago. Both Amy and Jairo discuss how they've navigated big changes like this, how they've had to change their mindsets surrounding fitness and identity, and where they're at now. For anyone navigating something similar, this is the episode for you!

Guys, this one was a roller coaster... in the best day! Welcome Daniel Specht to the podcast. Daniel is an avid Corepower Sculptor (also known as Murder Yoga), a Frontier Airlines pilot, and a HYROX athlete. But he grew up a Jehovah's Witness, and it was incredibly interesting and illuminating to learn about his childhood within this particular religious sect, and how it has influenced his life since. Tune in for a treat of an episode!
