Shownotes

Imagine growing up in a stable household, being able to get good grades, move on to have a successful career, and have a loving family. For many of us, this was (and is) possibly the life that evolved for us. However, what would happen if something shifted in the series of events that would change not just the plans you have set out for yourself, but the course of your entire mission on this Earth forever? Today's guest, Brock Waluk, shares his very open story about being thrown off course, surrounding himself with new positive influences, and creating the Next Generation Personal Training brand to help empower not only his clients, but his impressive team, to regain their lives. Oftentimes, we have to step through unbelievable amounts of self-doubt and give "pep talks" to ourselves in order to carry through on our promises and aspirations of what we want to envision becoming a reality, but the short-term disciplines that distance us from the disruptors can certainly make us stronger (& wiser) for all that we set out to accomplish, even if it just for getting through leg day at the gym.

Guest Bio

Brock grew up in the small town of Wyalusing, PA, and resides in Mechanicsburg, PA currently. He grew up a good kid but had a rebellious stint after graduating high school, where he ended up being arrested and in jail a few times, but learned a lot in the process of making poor life choices. He was the first to attend a higher education university (Lock Haven) in his family. He studied sports medicine/athletic training and was married at 23 years old, then divorced at 30 years old, where during that marriage, his amazing 8 year son Justus was born. He remarried in 2022 at 37 years old to his beautiful wife Courtney, who does social media for a few local companies, including his business, Next Generation Personal Training. He started Next Generation Personal Training in 2015 and has been training for a total of 16 years. In 2022, he partnered with Ark Fitness, opening in August of 2022, growing from 2 trainers to 12 trainers, and from 70 clients to almost 300.

Transcripts

Intro:

Welcome to the podcast where relationships, confidence, and

2

:

determination all converge into

an amazing, heartfelt experience.

3

:

This is Speaking From The Heart.

4

:

Joshua: Welcome back to a very special

episode 99 of Speaking from the Heart.

5

:

Now today I'm doing a little bit different

and if you were expecting a monologue

6

:

episode, you are in for a surprise,,

because instead we have a guest being

7

:

featured on episode number 99 in lieu

of my own monologue, and the reason why

8

:

is because this is the eve of my 100th

episode in which I'm doing something

9

:

very special, I decided to switch

things up, so thank you if you were

10

:

anticipating listening to a monologue

episode, you get to hear from somebody

11

:

that I have really enjoyed working with,

and you will see why in this episode.

12

:

Today we have Brock Waluk with us,

and Brock grew up in the small town of

13

:

Wyalusing, Pennsylvania, and currently

resides in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania,

14

:

in which he had grew up to be a good

kid, but had a very rebellious stint

15

:

after graduating high school, where

he ended up being arrested and in jail

16

:

a few times, but learned a lot in the

process of making poor life choices.

17

:

He was the first to attend a

higher education university, which

18

:

is Lock Haven University, in his

family, where he studied sports

19

:

medicine and athletic training,

and was married at 23 years of age.

20

:

He later divorced at 30 years of age,

where during that marriage, his amazing

21

:

8 year old son, Justus, was born.

22

:

He remarried in 2022 at 37 years of age

to his beautiful wife, Courtney, who does

23

:

social media for a few local companies,

including Brock's own business, Next

24

:

Generation Personal Training, which

we talk a lot about in this episode.

25

:

He started Next Generation Personal

Training in:

26

:

for a total of 16 years overall.

27

:

In 2022, he partnered with Ark Fitness,

also located in Mechanicsburg, opening

28

:

in August of 2022, where they had grown

from two trainers to over 12 trainers,

29

:

and from 70 clients to almost 300.

30

:

Now, there will be a very important

connection that you probably have already

31

:

identified that I will allude to when we

open this episode with Brock, but there's

32

:

a lot that we talked about that even for

myself, somebody that has known him now

33

:

for a few years, my mouth dropped open

with some of the things that he had made

34

:

in terms of those poor choices when he was

growing up, but I think that what we learn

35

:

about ourselves, and our past versions

of ourselves, is even though that we go

36

:

through hell, we have to find the ways in

which we need to get paid for our worth,

37

:

regardless of the fact that we might have

a record of ourselves, which truthfully, I

38

:

also have a record of myself, which we'll

talk about at the end of this episode, but

39

:

when you stop believing in those voices

that are telling you no, you are going

40

:

to be able to give yourself so much more

value than you might have never realized.

41

:

But with that, let's go to the episode.

42

:

All right.

43

:

We're here with Brock Waluk.

44

:

Brock, thanks for sharing

your heart with us today.

45

:

Brock: Hey, Josh.

46

:

Thanks for having me on, man.

47

:

I really appreciate it.

48

:

Joshua: Dude.

49

:

I am so pumped to finally get you on

the show, and for those that might be

50

:

wondering, "Why am I so pumped, and

doesn't this name sound familiar?"

51

:

It's because all the way back in episode

six, when I interviewed Noah Snyder of

52

:

Ark Fitness, there was a connection made

because of you being referenced there so

53

:

that's where we all bridge this together,

so Brock, it's cool to have you on the eve

54

:

of my 100th episode, so thank you so much

for taking some time to be with me today.

55

:

Brock, I really want to start with this

question about your upbringing, because

56

:

when I let the audience know a little

bit about you, I noticed the fact that

57

:

you lived in Wyalusing, Pennsylvania

and probably people are like, "Where

58

:

is Wyalusing, Pennsylvania, so do you

want to talk a little bit about your

59

:

upbringing there and getting into

some of your early years, especially

60

:

before you started the business?

61

:

Brock: Sure man, so Wyalusing,

Pennsylvania is in north central, PA,

62

:

and it's a very, very rural area out

in the middle of nowhere: dirt roads,

63

:

cows, tractors, factory work mostly, and

one thing I'll say to keep it quick is

64

:

that, in the biggest way, I noticed that

most people that stayed in that area

65

:

didn't do a lot as far as chasing their

dreams, or moving forward in their life.

66

:

It's a lot of factory work, which

I appreciate those people, because

67

:

we need those people, but I wanted

to get out in the worst way, right?

68

:

I worked in those factories.

69

:

I worked in butcher shops.

70

:

I worked on farms and I was

like, "This sucks for me."

71

:

Yeah, again, somebody has to do it, but

I just wanted to do something different,

72

:

right, so I was looking to get out in the

worst way, but I will say that, at times,

73

:

it's cool to grow up in a small town.

74

:

It's quiet, it's quaint, it's nice to

get away, but there's not much to do.

75

:

I think the closest mall was like

an hour and a half; closest grocery

76

:

store was a 20 minute drive, and

it was a small grocery store.

77

:

If you wanted to go to a Walmart,

it was over an hour drive, so there

78

:

wasn't a ton to do where I grew up.

79

:

Joshua: It reminds me so much of my

childhood too, because I also lived

80

:

in the boonies, but not so much where

you live because that was truly a once

81

:

industrial place too, for sure, but

for me, I grew up around cow tipping

82

:

and goats were herding and all kinds

of things, so I can relate dude.

83

:

The dirt roads and all of those

things were some of my common

84

:

occurrences as well, but I've

noticed too that you've been to jail?

85

:

I think that's just, first off, very

opening of people because I would be very

86

:

ashamed, but I will tell you that, from

even from my own personal experience, I've

87

:

had my run ins with the law when I was 16

years of age, so I can definitely relate

88

:

to having kind of a rebel side, but what

exactly transpired to get you in jail?

89

:

Brock: I went to jail when I was 21

committed to crime when I was 20 and I'll

90

:

kind of lead up to how that happened, and

I was mostly a pretty good kid growing up.

91

:

I didn't get into a lot of trouble.

92

:

I played sports, so I wanted

to keep my nose clean.

93

:

I think I had two detentions

ever in high school.

94

:

One of those was from not turning in

my homework, and I think one was for

95

:

talking in class, like it was kind

of silly things, right, but I went to

96

:

college and even prior to college, I

wrestled, I got into boxing in college,

97

:

and I always had a little bit of a

rebellious side that was suppressed, I

98

:

would say, probably for a good reason

and my brother was kind of the same way.

99

:

It's interesting how I think genetics

can play a role in a lot of things,

100

:

obviously environment too, but my

brother did a lot of crazy stuff and

101

:

we did a lot of crazy stuff together.

102

:

Not that I need to get into a lot of that

just; stuff we didn't get caught for, but

103

:

I got into this habit in college where I

would go to parties, I would drink, and I

104

:

would fight and it seemed like it was fun.

105

:

It was, I don't know, the

kind of let out aggression.

106

:

It was just like your typical stuff.

107

:

Kids find an outlet, like my

parents went through a divorce.

108

:

It was this whole thing, and I had a

girlfriend that had broken up with me

109

:

and it was like the first heartbreak.

110

:

It was just like all this stuff that

kind of pent up and so my outlet was to

111

:

drink at parties and I wouldn't start

fights, but if something was about

112

:

to go down, I was like, "Okay, cool.

113

:

Let's do it."

114

:

That led to multiple occasions of

that happening over probably six to

115

:

eight months; maybe a year and a half

period, and there was a couple of close

116

:

calls where people were getting hurt,

and cops were called, and I had never

117

:

gotten in trouble, but for some reason

I didn't take that as a warning sign

118

:

that something bad could happen, and I

went to Lock Haven University and it was

119

:

my first week of- I guess it would of

been my sophomore year, and I usually

120

:

would never go out on a Thursday night

because I was still attending classes.

121

:

I wasn't stupid.

122

:

I mean, yes, I was stupid as

far as some of the things I did,

123

:

but I was showing up to class.

124

:

I was smart with it, so it was the only

Thursday night, thirsty Thursday, that I

125

:

ever went out, and just got super drunk.

126

:

I was on the way home from the party,

got an argument with a guy, got in a

127

:

fight, and then this one is the one that

did me in because I ended up fracturing

128

:

his eye socket and his cheekbone.

129

:

I didn't know that at the time.

130

:

I got called to campus

security that night.

131

:

They found out what happened or some

witnesses and they're like, "Oh yeah.

132

:

The guy had to go to the hospital."

133

:

I was like, "What?

134

:

That's crazy."

135

:

I just didn't know what was going on,

and so they let me go, but they had

136

:

to report it to the police, right,

but the cops weren't there that night.

137

:

The next night, I was out at

Penn State at a bar drinking

138

:

underage with a friend of mine.

139

:

Again, I was drunk, and I got a call on

my phone, and it was the Clinton County

140

:

Police Department, which is where Lock

Haven is located, and they are like, "Mr.

141

:

Waluk.

142

:

There's a warrant out for your arrest.

143

:

You have to turn yourself in."

144

:

I was like, "Well, I'm out.

145

:

I'm at Penn State drunk right now."

146

:

I didn't say that, but I was like,

"I'll turn myself in tomorrow.",

147

:

so I drove back, turned myself in.

148

:

They booked me.

149

:

They hit me with aggravated assault,

which if you don't know, is a felony,

150

:

so I was facing three to five years in

jail, and it turned my life around.

151

:

I was like, "Oh my God.

152

:

This is really real now."

153

:

I had to call my mom multiple times up to

that point of just like smaller things,

154

:

so then call my mom to say, "Hey mom.

155

:

I got arrested.

156

:

You need to come bail me out.", so my mom

drove down from Wyalusing to bail me out.

157

:

Obviously, she wasn't super

happy with me, and so I got out

158

:

and then I still didn't quit.

159

:

I had lost my license even before that for

an underage drinking incident, so I was

160

:

still underage during this incident, and

then, I went on for a couple of weeks

161

:

at school, the school found out about it.

162

:

I got kicked out of school.

163

:

I got called to the dean's office

and kicked me out of school,

164

:

because it technically happened on

campus, and I went home and I worked

165

:

construction; you know, the things

that I knew how to do at that time,

166

:

but I still didn't make good choices.

167

:

I went and I bought a crotch rocket,

a GSXR:

168

:

a high speed chase with the cops.

169

:

Yeah, it's stupid.

170

:

I got a gun drawn on me that time.

171

:

Joshua: Whoa, whoa, whoa, wait, wait,

wait, so you had the fear of going to

172

:

jail because of the aggravated assault

charge, but yet you went and bought a

173

:

motorcycle essentially, and you were

in a high speed chase with a cop.

174

:

Are you serious?

175

:

Brock: Yeah.

176

:

Multiple cops, so it's just- I was

reckless, man, like I was self destructing

177

:

my own life, right, and people sometimes

go down- I see it, you know, and I think

178

:

sometimes you can't outperform how you

view yourself, and at that point in

179

:

time of my life, I was viewing myself, I

don't even call it a loser or whatever.

180

:

I just felt like I didn't

amount to much, so my actions

181

:

amounted how I viewed myself.

182

:

I was in this major self destruct

mode, and so I get in this high

183

:

speed chase with all these cops.

184

:

It was through the county,

and all this stuff.

185

:

It was crazy, right, and putting myself

at risk, putting other people's lives at

186

:

risk, putting these cops lives at risk;

first time I ever got a gun drawn on

187

:

me, right, and thankfully, after I got

arrested that time, I'm super polite.

188

:

"Yes, sir."

189

:

"No, sir.", and for some reason,

the cops liked me, the DA liked me.

190

:

They actually let me go, and

they did not impound my bike.

191

:

I had to call my mom again, "Mom-", this

is literally two months after this other

192

:

incident happened, I got arrested again.

193

:

"Can you come get me?"

194

:

My poor mother.

195

:

Joshua: Yeah, I feel bad for mom in this

whole situation, but with all that said,

196

:

Brock, I mean, first off, I would have

never known, and I've known you now for

197

:

a few years because of Ark Fitness and

Noah and getting to know your personality

198

:

and really know what you are to a core.

199

:

This completely blows my mind because it's

not the same person that I've gotten to

200

:

know, so, I guess my question is, looking

back, do you feel that, that old Brock

201

:

that was going on high speed chases,

getting drunk, getting into fights, do you

202

:

think that he lived in a life of shame?

203

:

Brock: Yeah, for sure.

204

:

100 percent for sure, and it's

interesting too, I'll say that

205

:

when I then saw- cause most

people look at me that way.

206

:

"Wow.

207

:

I can't believe-" Even prior to me

doing that, people were so surprised

208

:

of my actions, right, because I

was generally a pretty good dude.

209

:

I was super respectful of people.

210

:

All my teachers like me.

211

:

I was a good kid, so then I'm

like going back to my town.

212

:

I'm going to the local fairs and stuff,

and then these people are looking at me,

213

:

because they read it all in the paper,

like all this stuff that happened.

214

:

because that's big news in my town, right?

215

:

It was definitely a shameful life, but

I felt like I couldn't get out of it

216

:

at that moment for whatever reason.

217

:

Oh, I wouldn't say I couldn't.

218

:

I didn't want to.

219

:

Joshua: What made you

change then as a result?

220

:

What was the pivotal moment that made

you realize it, because I know you said

221

:

earlier that, "Yeah, when I got the

charges, that really changed a lot of

222

:

things", but it didn't change everything,

because you went and did it again, so

223

:

what was that moment that, like the snap

of the fingers, made you realize, "Shit!

224

:

I need to change something now, or I'm

going to go and have a very bad life, or

225

:

I'm going to end up in jail for real?"

226

:

Brock: Yeah.

227

:

It was multiple moments along the way and

choices; better choices along the way,

228

:

but one of those moments was the first

night I spent in jail and not to get into

229

:

all the stuff that happens, but- and it's

not like I spent a few months in jail.

230

:

It wasn't long, but long

enough to know, like, "Wow.

231

:

I don't want to do that

again.", right, so-

232

:

Joshua: Yeah.

233

:

Brock: So when you first go in, maybe

every jail is different, and actually

234

:

I'll say they do things differently,

and I'll tell you, but you spend, I

235

:

can't remember what it's called now, but

basically you're like in solitary for the

236

:

first few days, so I was in a jail cell

by myself, lights on the entire time.

237

:

They don't shut them off even at

nighttime, so days on days, you get let

238

:

out for one hour a day to shower and make

a phone call; at least this was their

239

:

policy, and you can only sleep so much.

240

:

After the second or

third day, man, I broke.

241

:

I started bawling.

242

:

I mean, all the emotions that were

bent up inside and I was like,

243

:

"What am I doing to my life, right?

244

:

That was one of those pivotal moments,

and I had a couple of those along the

245

:

way, and while I was in there, and then

I got out and I got in more fights after

246

:

I got out of jail, but I was making

better choices along the way, and then

247

:

I started making better choices of the

people that I was surrounding myself with,

248

:

because that's not who I wanted to be.

249

:

I wanted to be different, but I

didn't know where to look, right,

250

:

because the people at the time

in my life were good people.

251

:

They're good people at heart, but

they're like me, right, and if I want

252

:

to be different, I need to start looking

elsewhere and hanging out with different

253

:

people that are making different decisions

and moving forward with their life because

254

:

I really wanted that, so I will say

there's a couple pivotal decisions along

255

:

our movements along the way emotionally,

but then it was just about making better

256

:

decisions more often, and that led me down

this path of personal growth and personal

257

:

development for years and years and years.

258

:

That's still continuing, and

then I just found that other

259

:

side of me, it's still in there.

260

:

I know it's in there because not that I

get moments of angst of like, "Oh, I want

261

:

to go back to that life.", but that side

of me is still there, and I know it's

262

:

there, but I just kind of keep it at bay.

263

:

Do you ever hear that one saying

about there's two wolves and

264

:

whichever one, like it's the one

that you feed the most, right?

265

:

Joshua: Yes.

266

:

Yes.

267

:

Brock: Yeah, so I just feed the

wolf thats the one that's going to

268

:

move me in the direction that my

life should be going, right, so.

269

:

Joshua: I've been talking about this

quite a lot, even in my own episodes

270

:

about there's really been two versions

of me, Brock, that as I've gotten through

271

:

and grown quite a lot that I need to

separate myself from the old version of

272

:

who I was because I don't want to feed

that anymore, but I really want to be

273

:

this better version of myself, so it's

really been an exploration of, like you

274

:

said, surrounding yourself with the right

people, the right resources, the right

275

:

sort of attitudes that will help you stay

and keep that past version of yourself at

276

:

bay, because it is a part of us and I have

to say, I'm pretty impressed by your story

277

:

of how that transformation has happened

for you because, first off, what you

278

:

didn't say, which I want to reemphasize

for my listeners is that you were first

279

:

generation essentially to go to college.

280

:

Yeah, you were told to go to college,

but I think that is so inspiring in a

281

:

way that you're setting a trend, like

you've always set that trend, so I've

282

:

got to give you kudos because for some

people that I've worked with, even

283

:

in my business, sometimes just seeing

that awareness is a big part of it.

284

:

I don't know if you had anything

you wanted to say about that.

285

:

Is there something that has really helped

you to see why it was really important to

286

:

you to stay in school, despite all these

things, and being kicked out, and kind

287

:

of going back in and getting what you

have earned, which essentially, getting

288

:

your athletic training degree, being able

to help others with sports medicine, I

289

:

mean, it's really helped you in what you

do now, which we're going to talk about

290

:

in a moment, but, do you think that has

played a big role in what you do today?

291

:

Brock: 100%, and I think realizing

what my potential could be- you

292

:

know, I get pretty philosophical

with some of this stuff, man, like

293

:

I hear things and they just click.

294

:

Joshua: I think you should drop

those nuggets for our listeners,

295

:

Brock, if you got them on your heart,

because I think that it might be

296

:

something, and I had never heard

of anybody being in jail before.

297

:

I think it's really profound to kind

of hear some of these things from you.

298

:

Brock: Yeah, so there's a couple of

things that I heard along the way that

299

:

really just made me think, "Oh, what

am I doing, and what do I want to be?"

300

:

One of those things is that one day,

when you're at the end of your life,

301

:

and whether you believe in an afterlife

or there's something after this, right,

302

:

and there's been other people that

have said this, but I'm stealing this.

303

:

It's not an original thought, but I

just like it, right, and then you get

304

:

the gates, or whatever it is, you're in

this room and you're seeing this vision

305

:

or this TV's flashing someone's life

before you that's you on the screen,

306

:

but your life looks nothing like that.

307

:

It's like all these things that this

person was accomplishing, right,

308

:

and you're like looking at it.

309

:

You're like, "Who's this?",

and they're like, "That's the

310

:

person that you could have been."

311

:

Another way to say it is the true

definition of hell is the person

312

:

that you are, someday, meeting the

person that you could have been.

313

:

Joshua: Wow.

314

:

I don't think I ever thought of it that

way, even for myself, that I want to

315

:

put that person in hell, essentially,

that I didn't want to be, and yet at the

316

:

same time, I can say one day, "Ha ha.

317

:

I was able to accomplish things, and you

said I could not", and that's a big deal.

318

:

Brock: That keeps me on track.

319

:

I will say, I have a eight year old son.

320

:

He keeps me on track because, I mean,

one of my life endeavors is to break

321

:

off family curses, right, and things

that are generational in my family:

322

:

alcoholism, and abuse, and divorce, so

some of these things I've been able to

323

:

overcome, some of them, it's a work in

progress, and I just want my son to be

324

:

able to stand on my shoulders and not have

to go through the same stuff that I went

325

:

through, so it's like a mission of mine,

legitimately, to defeat these demons, or

326

:

whatever you want to call it, that have

been in my family for years and years.

327

:

Joshua: I can't tell you how much

I resonate with that at this very

328

:

moment, even as I go through and I

look at some of the things that have

329

:

happened in my life and I realize, "Wow.

330

:

I do not want to repeat the same

mistakes as my father, my mom."

331

:

I want to learn from what they have been

through and also not repeat those same

332

:

behaviors that got them in what they are

in the first place, which I'm not saying

333

:

they haven't had a fulfilling life.

334

:

Don't get me wrong, but I definitely

seen where there could be some changes

335

:

that happen and I'm really happy to

hear that you are on the right and

336

:

narrow, which speaking of your son, I

know that you were just remarried in the

337

:

last year or so, or a couple of years-

338

:

Brock: Yeah.

339

:

Joshua: And I've gotten to meet Courtney.

340

:

She's an awesome person.

341

:

I feel like she's definitely

the second half of you.

342

:

How has that been, especially with

Courtney, working with the business,

343

:

and I know she supports you.

344

:

She does other social media as part of her

overall skills, but how's that dynamic?

345

:

Brock: Well, I'll say that the

dynamic between us is really great,

346

:

right, and I think the biggest thing

of why we're so cohesive, like we

347

:

laugh, we have fun, we have a great

time, but she allows me to lead.

348

:

She has never held me back.

349

:

She's always been a cheerleader of mine.

350

:

She's believed in me, which then has

allowed me to believe in myself, and

351

:

I think this would be true for most

men is that you spend your twenties

352

:

trying to figure out who you are, right,

and then your thirties, maybe still

353

:

doing some of that, but refining and

now starting to make true decisions

354

:

of this is who I actually want to be.

355

:

This is what I want to be defined as,

and she's helped me figure that out along

356

:

the way, and unfortunately, obviously

I was married previously, that my first

357

:

became the collateral damage of me trying

to figure out who I was supposed to be,

358

:

because I got married at 23, my first

marriage, when I had not a clue who I was,

359

:

or who I wanted to be, or what I wanted to

represent, so that's one of those demons

360

:

that I didn't beat, so to speak, because

my parents were divorced, and my brother's

361

:

been through multiple divorces, all these

types of things, but it's about learning.

362

:

It's about growing.

363

:

It's about making adjustments along

the way and figuring that type of stuff

364

:

out, but it's been great with her, and

for her, she's still trying to figure

365

:

out the things that she wants to do,

and I'll say that I just support her.

366

:

She's done multiple career

changes through the years.

367

:

She was in the fitness for a while,

then she did a fashion blog, so whatever

368

:

she's into, I just support her, and

people figure out along the way.

369

:

Joshua: It's a great partnership in a

way, which actually is a great transition

370

:

into when you started Next Generation

Personal Training in:

371

:

that this predated before even what we

were just talking about with Courtney,

372

:

but I think for our audience, first

off, you do something that is quite

373

:

unique, and I even expressed this to

Noah in episode six about the values

374

:

that both of you have aligned with being

co-owners together with this big vision.

375

:

In your own words, and I'm sure that

you've probably listened to what Noah

376

:

had to say in that episode, but give

me your own personal take with working

377

:

with Ark Fitness, and working with now

new clients that come through that,

378

:

and the expansion of your business,

because it has seen leaps and bounds.

379

:

What has that defined for

you, Brock, in terms of your

380

:

relationship with your clients, with

leading a team of 12 people now?

381

:

What has that really demonstrated

for you in terms of your own

382

:

personal and professional growth?

383

:

Brock: Yeah, so I'll say this it was

just me for a long time as a trainer,

384

:

and then I brought on one or two trainers

over the years, and then I met a guy

385

:

named Yo Le, so I don't need to get into

the whole story, but him and I were the

386

:

foundation of Next Generation Personal

Training, and that's when this vision

387

:

was birth of starting something better,

and to kind of go back, I was doing

388

:

training for 7, 8 years before I started

NGPT, and I just saw that there was a

389

:

huge gap in the training industry of

what was being offered as a product, and

390

:

actually what was being delivered upon.

391

:

I felt like the quality

of service wasn't amazing.

392

:

I felt like people were

taking advantage of.

393

:

I felt like the pricing wasn't great for

what things were offered, all these types

394

:

of things, and so I straightened this

dream and vision of what we could create.

395

:

What could we build, right, and

partner with the right people.

396

:

Now, I didn't know what that looked

like, but then along comes Noah and

397

:

through a bunch of just crazy instances

of how things worked out, him and I

398

:

had a similar dream and vision that

we wanted to get rid of the stuff that

399

:

we didn't love about corporate gyms;

corporate training, and from my side of

400

:

things, I wanted to take care of people.

401

:

I pair trainers very well; way above

what the national average is because

402

:

they deserve it, right, and I believe

that people should be able to, in

403

:

a perfect world, do what they love,

and actually make a living at it.

404

:

Now, it's easier said than done, right?

405

:

You have to come up with the business

model to be able to do that, but our

406

:

partnership with Ark has allowed us to

start that process, right, and then as far

407

:

as the education side of things with NGPT,

like I spend fifteen plus thousand dollars

408

:

per year dumping into our team education.

409

:

I flew the whole team out to Colorado

to learn from a company, N-1, which is,

410

:

basically, the basis of where we learn

our biomechanics and program design,

411

:

and we just want to offer a great

product, but that's the starting point.

412

:

That's the starting point of

what we want to offer, right?

413

:

We have to actually know what we're doing.

414

:

It's not about just taking

people through exercises.

415

:

We want to help them get results by

training for a specific purpose and

416

:

actually knowing how to do that, but

on the bigger scale of things with

417

:

having a team, I've read over the

past, I don't know, 15 years, I've

418

:

read hundreds and hundreds of books.

419

:

One's on leadership, personal development,

and I literally had nothing to apply

420

:

that to until more recently, right,

when I had a team to be responsible for

421

:

and people that were looking to me to

lead, and so I take a lot of the things

422

:

that at least I learned theoretically

through books, and I'm applying,

423

:

and a lot of it's experimentation.

424

:

The biggest thing that I instilled to our

trainers is like, I want you to be a good

425

:

trainer, but this life is much bigger than

personal training, right, for themselves.

426

:

They need to pour into themselves.

427

:

They need to be on their

own personal growth journey.

428

:

They need to develop themselves into

who they're supposed to be, and then

429

:

they'll be able to pour into other people.

430

:

If your own cup is empty, how

can you pour into other people?

431

:

You can't.

432

:

Joshua: You can't.

433

:

Absolutely.

434

:

Yeah, you can't, and everything

you said is essentially what I

435

:

said to Noah is that it's debunking

everything that we've ever known.

436

:

You could go to a Planet Fitness.

437

:

You could go to a Power Train,

which I've used to go to.

438

:

You could go to all kinds of these crazy

gyms, wherever those franchises are,

439

:

but are you just a number, or are you an

actual person that has needs and wants,

440

:

and I feel like you are the latter, Brock.

441

:

You want to have that relationship,

and I know with working with you,

442

:

with Yo, and even dealing with all

these different people that you have

443

:

been able to encounter, I see that

compassion from you when it comes

444

:

to that, even with what you've said,

but here's my real question for you.

445

:

Brock: Yeah.

446

:

Joshua: Although you say that you want

to have those sort of things with your

447

:

team, and paying them above average, and

getting this world class experience for

448

:

your clients, do you feel that there are

challenges along the way with being able

449

:

to have that consistency, especially

with the way fitness is, because a

450

:

lot of people don't take advantage of

fitness; me, myself included, because I

451

:

know that I could do a lot better with

working out and doing things, and I've

452

:

had plenty of people in the show that

are local to Mechanicsburg where you're

453

:

located at that have shared that, but I

guess my question is, in your view, how

454

:

do we start changing that conversation,

I mean, you certainly you're starting

455

:

that with saying, "We need to pour into

the people that we're working with.

456

:

We need to be able to help them

get to where they need to be."

457

:

What makes you different is

really my question to you.

458

:

Brock: Yeah, and that goes back to,

again, the science side of stuff is

459

:

taking care of the training, the program

design, all that nutrition, right?

460

:

That's the tip of the spear.

461

:

That's the very beginning, so this stuff

that we're working on, continuously.

462

:

One of the reasons that we also hired you

to come in and help coach us and I want to

463

:

continue that relationship down the road.

464

:

Joshua: Full disclosure to my listeners

is that, yes, I have worked with Next

465

:

Generation as a client of mine to help

them get to where they need to be, so

466

:

yes, there's definitely, although there is

that sales perspective, I enjoyed having

467

:

Brock on the show for the sheer fact that

he has an interesting story, so I just

468

:

want to clear up any sort of naysayers

out there that might be thinking, "Oh.

469

:

He paid to be on the show."

470

:

He did not.

471

:

I actually wanted him to

be part of this experience.

472

:

Brock: And I'll say this

for any of the listeners.

473

:

If you have a need for not just

public speaking stuff, but for life

474

:

coaching, and business coaching,

I hope that you reach out to Josh.

475

:

By the way, he didn't pay me to say this.

476

:

I'm just saying because

listen, it took one meeting.

477

:

Myka and I met with you,

maybe a couple months ago.

478

:

It took one meeting with you to say,

"This is a guy I want to partner

479

:

with.", like, legitimate and not just

like the short term, like long term.

480

:

Joshua: Thank you for that.

481

:

Brock: I just, I- yeah, man, and so

whoever's listening to this right

482

:

now, and this is going to continue

to grow, I hope you reach out sooner

483

:

than later, because there's going to

be a time when he won't be available

484

:

to do it himself, right, and we'll

have a team of people working for him.

485

:

Joshua: Absolutely.

486

:

Brock: I'm speaking it, I'm telling you.

487

:

Joshua: That's the goal.

488

:

No, that's speaking from the heart right

there, Brock, because that's really

489

:

been the goal all along is that I would

love to grow this out and have people

490

:

have the best versions of themselves,

but in any event, I'll let you continue

491

:

with the answer to that question I had.

492

:

Brock: Yeah, so we're having conversations

with our team more than anything

493

:

right now that it's about building

relationships with your people, which

494

:

is interesting because, and most of

your generic- well, they're nationally

495

:

accredited, but there's still generic

personal training certifications.

496

:

They basically tell you to

never talk about personal stuff,

497

:

never talk about religion,

politics, all these other things.

498

:

The reality is if you want a relationship

with someone and for them to stay

499

:

with you long term, somewhere along

the way, you might end up talking

500

:

about all of those things, right?

501

:

I have clients that have been

with me for 15 plus years.

502

:

It's not that they don't know what to do.

503

:

Some of it's accountability still.

504

:

Some of it's like they like to be

pushed, but it's still about the

505

:

conversation piece that you have

along the way, and from what we

506

:

have seen, we have great attrition.

507

:

I mean, amazing attrition, as far as a

company is concerned in this industry.

508

:

It's way higher than the average, but

I do see that some of the trainers that

509

:

tend to lose clients, not because of

anything they did wrong, but a lot of

510

:

it is because there's not a relationship

there, right, and as interesting as

511

:

it is, sometimes these relationships

that you build, I want to say they're

512

:

therapy sessions, but you just learn a

lot about people, and sometimes we're

513

:

the only people they actually get a

chance to talk to candidly in their

514

:

entire lives, legitimately, right?

515

:

We're seeing people two, three,

four times, four hours a week,

516

:

sometimes depending on how many

times they work, so that's a lot.

517

:

You end up having these

relationships with people.

518

:

Joshua: Let's be honest.

519

:

That's unheard of when it comes to

going into the four or five, six hour

520

:

range with something like this, because

you're thinking, "Well, I only need to

521

:

work out maybe two, three times a week.

522

:

I only have to really worry about food,

then after that, making sure I keep it

523

:

at a level that is for my nutritional

needs.", but you're taking the science.

524

:

I'm literally reading

this from your website.

525

:

You're taking the techniques and

you're taking the science and

526

:

you're creating the results, but

you're doing much more than that.

527

:

You're building what I think is the

most important thing that we're missing

528

:

in this world, which is having those

relationships with others, so Brock,

529

:

we're almost at the end of time, but

I have this final question for you to

530

:

really cap this conversation because

this has been incredible for me just

531

:

to hear this and this is really, as I

mentioned, this is the eve, and this is

532

:

unusual for me to be doing an episode

right before the eve of my 100th episode

533

:

where I actually have a guest on.

534

:

I have met several dozens of people

on this program that less than a year

535

:

ago, I started this and I've just been

fascinated by the conversations of

536

:

different people and what they have

shared as knowledge and information.

537

:

I think for you, you have such a unique

background that has just kept you pushing

538

:

along, so I guess my question is this.

539

:

What would you say to those out there

that are just sitting on the couch,

540

:

they're not sure what to do to get

started, maybe they have a previous

541

:

record of criminal activity and they

are just shunned by society, but yet,

542

:

you've taken the reins and said, "No,

I'm not going to let that define me.

543

:

I'm going to do something

because I was given a chance."

544

:

What would you say to someone that

might be going through those hard

545

:

times, and they need that dose of

inspiration from somebody like Brock?

546

:

What would you say to them?

547

:

Brock: Yeah.

548

:

I would say, it would be multifaceted,

but there's a couple things that I would

549

:

say is that, one, you have to get started.

550

:

You have to stop believing-

I'm going to get emotional.

551

:

Joshua: Dude, let it all out.

552

:

Speak from the heart for with me,

because this is like the eve of something

553

:

big and I would love to hear what you

got to say, and so do my listeners.

554

:

Brock: You have to stop believing what

those inner voices are telling you about

555

:

yourself, and it's really, really hard,

but the only way to combat that is you

556

:

got to start putting good stuff in which

takes discipline, which takes effort,

557

:

which takes consistency, so that's the

place that you have to start, and as

558

:

challenging as this may also sound,

you have to change your association.

559

:

You'll realize that as you

continue to hang out with the

560

:

same people, and I get it dude.

561

:

They're your boys.

562

:

They're your friends.

563

:

They're your people, but if you're looking

to be different, you have to change

564

:

who you are mentally, emotionally, you

have to change your association, but

565

:

it starts with day one, and you're not

going to change everything overnight,

566

:

or over a week, or a month, or even a

year, but you got to start the journey,

567

:

right, and that's the biggest thing I

can say, and it's just continuous effort

568

:

and drive to want to be different.

569

:

Sometimes I think that's

inherent in people.

570

:

I really do.

571

:

Some of it, I think, needs to be

learned, and can be learned, right?

572

:

Some people have great natural ability

to do things, leadership or whatever.

573

:

Some people don't have

those natural abilities.

574

:

I did it, and again, you didn't know

me 20 years ago, right, and I'm not

575

:

even polished now, but I'm getting

better, but it just takes time,

576

:

effort, and change in association, and

believing in yourself, and listen, I'm

577

:

big on self talk too; all the time,

speaking to myself in the mirror.

578

:

Something I'll do, I'll just share

this really quick, is every night

579

:

before my son goes to sleep, we

have affirmations that we say.

580

:

He says his own: "I'm a leader.

581

:

I'm a champion.

582

:

I'm a winner.

583

:

I'm confident.

584

:

I'm bold.

585

:

I'm excited.

586

:

I'm enthusiastic.", all these things.

587

:

Then, I pour into him.

588

:

I say all the things that I see in

him, so you might not have someone

589

:

to say those things to yourself yet,

so you have to start saying them to

590

:

yourself, right, and I know it's weird,

but the subconscious mind doesn't

591

:

know right from wrong, different from

indifferent, so it'll start believing

592

:

the things that you're telling yourself.

593

:

That's all I have to say.

594

:

I think that's a great place to

start, but it does take action,

595

:

and that's the biggest thing.

596

:

Joshua: Dude.

597

:

I'm sitting here and I'm thinking, "Yeah.

598

:

You're absolutely right.", and then at

the same time, I'm saying to myself,

599

:

"I could have used that advice 20

years ago when I was faced in front of

600

:

a judge and I was being told, 'Yeah.

601

:

You're going to get charged with

terroristic threats, pointing a handgun at

602

:

some kids'", which is a whole long story

in itself, and yes, listeners, I have

603

:

been through that process as a kid, but

to realize that you have to give yourself

604

:

that pep talk of, "You are worthy of all

the good things that will ever happen in

605

:

your life, and that you deserve them."

606

:

Brock, dude, that is such a profound

thing that we miss in this world, where

607

:

we've had people that want to just tear

you down on Facebook, they want to rip

608

:

you apart with your opinions, they want

to say what they have on their minds,

609

:

which yeah, they're entitled to that,

but the problem with that is, there's

610

:

no word to describe it other than saying

that they don't have compassion, and

611

:

you, sir, have a lot of that, and I see

that with what you do on a day to day

612

:

basis, but Brock, with all that said,

I think people are inspired by hearing

613

:

this, so with that said, how can people

reach out to you if they're interested

614

:

in maybe some personal training?

615

:

Maybe they're local to Mechanicsburg

and they actually want to come in and

616

:

get some information from you about

nutrition, coaching and personal training.

617

:

Brock: Yeah.

618

:

Joshua: How can they do all that, and,

I mean, by all means, maybe they have

619

:

some questions for you personally, and

if you feel so bold, maybe you want to

620

:

share how they can reach out to you,

but in all of that, I'm going to give

621

:

you the last few moments to do that.

622

:

Brock: Yeah, so there's multiple ways.

623

:

One, you could reach us in person.

624

:

You can come to 220 North

York Street, Mechanicsburg.

625

:

That's where Ark Fitness is at,

and we're there all the time.

626

:

The trainers there know we'll be

there most of the time and to reach us

627

:

online, you can go to arkfitclub.com,

and go into the training section.

628

:

You can put an inquiry there.

629

:

You can find us on Instagram:

nextgeneration_PT, or you can

630

:

find my personal one on there too.

631

:

We're also on Facebook, so

we're all over the place.

632

:

Feel free to send me a personal message.

633

:

If you have a question about nutrition,

training, anything, honestly, or you can

634

:

put an inquiry online and we get back

to you within 48 hours, and we get a

635

:

lot of inquiries and we're still growing

like crazy, but we're trying to be

636

:

pretty prompt with our customer service.

637

:

Joshua: I have to tell you, you're

pretty prompt with the fact that you

638

:

have been through incredible amount

of things that, I think even for some

639

:

of my listeners, their probably mouths

are dropping open as to how you have

640

:

this incredible energy to keep moving

forward, but, here's the deal, Brock.

641

:

Not only have you survived those

tumultuous periods of your life in which

642

:

you've kind of been asking yourself, "Why

did I have to go through this trial in

643

:

the first place?", because you had an

awesome mom who drove all the way from

644

:

all those things to help you bail you

out when you needed it the most, but more

645

:

importantly, you have people in your life

that love and care about you, and I can

646

:

tell that because they bail you out to,

myself included, as somebody that has

647

:

gotten to know you, and, by all means,

gotten to know both Noah and you and

648

:

why you've built this incredible awesome

experience for people that I'm telling

649

:

you guys, if you're not going to Ark

Fitness, if you're not checking out Next

650

:

Generation Personal Training, you are

missing out on the next generation, the

651

:

next era of what fitness is all about,

because it isn't just about your mind.

652

:

It isn't just about the body in

which we have physically, but it's

653

:

about how we use all that emotional

opportunity to create the best versions

654

:

of ourselves, so Brock, with all that

said, thank you for being one of my

655

:

last guests before I turned three

digits here on Speaking From The Heart.

656

:

Brock: Let's go!

657

:

Joshua: I am so pumped

after this conversation.

658

:

I am honored that you've been part

of this experience with me, so thank

659

:

you from the bottom of my heart.

660

:

Brock: Thank you so much for that.

661

:

Thanks for having me on brother.

662

:

I really appreciate it.

663

:

Joshua: I want to thank Brock so much

for being so open on this show and

664

:

being part of this team, Ark Fitness,

Next Generation Personal Training,

665

:

the whole group, both Noah's team,

Brock's team, and even John Neifert,

666

:

who wasn't mentioned as much on this

episode, but also is a big, key player.

667

:

I want to thank the three of those

gentlemen for really being part of a

668

:

bigger expansion into the Mechanicsburg

area, and having hearts of gold, because

669

:

they certainly go above and beyond not

only in their service philosophy, being

670

:

able to help others and enjoy what life

has to offer for not only themselves,

671

:

but also their clients and empowering

them to be able to do just that.

672

:

I will encourage you if you are

interested to check out episode number

673

:

six in which we featured Noah, and

I hope to have John Neifert on the

674

:

show in the near future as well.

675

:

Let's talk about Brock for a moment

because, oh my goodness, there is so much

676

:

to unpack here, and I think one of the

first things that is really important

677

:

about what is truly necessary in our

life is getting out of the lifestyle

678

:

that we have and being involved with

something that we really want to

679

:

enjoy doing in our lives, but being

held back is really what's causing

680

:

it to not happen in the first place.

681

:

We have these genetic codes

that we build within ourselves.

682

:

They create habits, whether they are good

or bad, in our lives, and those thoughts

683

:

and those patterns keep on repeating in

our brains to the point that we're not

684

:

able to achieve what is truly necessary.

685

:

I have those genetics working

against me, time and time again,

686

:

myself, but I've learned that

I have to keep pushing forward.

687

:

I know that I have to be better, and go

through the hell, as Brock even mentioned,

688

:

to get to that side where we need to be

able to learn and grow for who we are.

689

:

Are you fighting for all the right

reasons, or all the wrong reasons, because

690

:

everything can go wrong and especially

when you're going through some of the

691

:

toughest challenges in your life, you are

definitely on the receiving end of so much

692

:

crap, and we've talked about that stuff in

previous episodes, about the importance of

693

:

not only understanding what that crap is,

but then being able to navigate through

694

:

it in a methodical pattern, being able

to understand that when those triggers

695

:

are going to happen, that you're able

to address them carefully and clearly.

696

:

I know for me, working with therapists,

it's allowed me to help so much with

697

:

understanding the true implications

of going through those sort of issues.

698

:

We need to be able to understand what

those moments are in our lives that might

699

:

change us forever, but be prepared to be

able to make a decision that might have

700

:

ill intended consequences down the road,

which we even talked about with Kaneshi

701

:

Hart in her two part episode recently,

but can you honestly say that you

702

:

create opportunities to change yourself?

703

:

Brock's team of over 12 trainers now

has been able to do all those things

704

:

for his clients and continue to build

on the philosophy of being able to

705

:

provide integrity and respect and

excellence at every step of the way.

706

:

Brock is somebody that I have gotten to

know over these past few years, and as

707

:

we even disclosed, have been able to work

together in a long term partnership, which

708

:

I really have been excited to develop

his team, and himself, and become the

709

:

best versions of themselves in their

business venture, but being able to

710

:

coach and being able to pull somebody

through, regardless of what those issues

711

:

are, can be a challenge in itself.

712

:

That means we have to meet our

past version at some level, and be

713

:

able to say that you are no longer

allowed to be here and you no

714

:

longer have permission to visit me.

715

:

We often have talked about

in this show about getting an

716

:

accountability partner, but Brock's

team does so much more than that.

717

:

As a matter of fact, and we've

even mentioned in Episode 6, that

718

:

these guys are challenging the

status quo of the fitness industry.

719

:

Instead of inviting people in for the

New Year to all join at once so that

720

:

then they can meet their New Year's

resolutions, they continue to have

721

:

the worst deal ever, making things

charged way overpriced, because they

722

:

know that they're also serving the

clients that they have existing, so

723

:

they don't pack the gyms just because

people have this fluke idea of wanting

724

:

to meet their New Year's resolutions.

725

:

They are debunking some of the things

that, even on this show, that we try

726

:

to debunk ourselves, which is not just

taking advantage of clients, which they

727

:

certainly don't do, but also getting paid

for the things that they are providing

728

:

and they invest so much, not just in their

clients, but in their trainers as well.

729

:

Brock's team has gone through some

evolutionary changes, in which I

730

:

have to ask you a similar question.

731

:

What kinds of evolutionary

changes have you been able to do?

732

:

Brock talked a lot about his habits

and being willing to change not only

733

:

the things that he wants to do on a

day to day basis, but surround himself

734

:

with the positive influences that are

needed, whether those are reading good

735

:

books, listening to good podcasts, or

even indulging in some good conversation

736

:

with other people, because when you

cross the barrier between what is the

737

:

negative, and going into the positive,

and you're changing yourself to become

738

:

that best version of who you are, there

is a fundamental evolutionary shift,

739

:

and it's a very hard process, just as

much as leg day can be when you're going

740

:

to the gym, and trust me, even though

I haven't been to the gym recently,

741

:

which I know, I'm going to get yelled

at for this episode for mentioning that,

742

:

and I will then be encouraged to get

in the gym, and work out with the Next

743

:

Generation Personal Training Team, I

will say to you that even though leg day

744

:

sucks, it is sometimes worth it to go

through that endurance, to go through that

745

:

pain, because you're using things that

you have not used in such a long time.

746

:

It isn't just about the science

of what you eat, and also what you

747

:

do in terms of the mechanics of

your body, and understanding the

748

:

methodology of how to work out.

749

:

What if you start to figure out

that you need to work out so much

750

:

more than just your physical,

but also your mental aptitudes?

751

:

Mentally, you have to be just as prepared

to improve yourself as you do physically,

752

:

and Next Generation Personal Training

really does that, and that's not to say

753

:

that I've been paid to say that, I have

seen it in action, as a casual observer,

754

:

and being able to go to the gym myself.

755

:

These guys do something different

than no other gym does, which is

756

:

what I want you to do, my listeners.

757

:

I want you to do something a little bit

different that you haven't done before.

758

:

I want you to challenge the

status quo in your own lives.

759

:

I want you to give yourself

that pep talk so that you're no

760

:

longer telling yourself, "No!"

761

:

I would not be remiss to say that

we're on the eve of the 100th

762

:

episode now, which I've been teasing

you for the last few weeks about.

763

:

As I reflect on this episode with

this guest, along with all the guests

764

:

that have ever graced my presence

on Speaking from the Heart, there's

765

:

something that really resonates with

me about the value of having that pep

766

:

talk of being able to tell ourselves no.

767

:

If you listen back to each and

every person, including Brock today,

768

:

you will notice that these people

have challenged the status quo.

769

:

They are willing to work on themselves,

regardless of what anybody else wants

770

:

to say or do, and they're willing to do

things that normal people don't do, and

771

:

that is, usually, work on themselves.

772

:

That's it.

773

:

If you're just willing to work on

yourself just a little bit each day,

774

:

even if it's just 30 minutes, as

simple as a cardio exercise, or a leg,

775

:

core, upper body routine at the gym.

776

:

If you're able to spend just the 31

minutes instead, that extra 60 seconds

777

:

of your life, if you're willing to pour

into that, can make such a big difference

778

:

in the overall grand scheme of things.

779

:

Let's ask the question again.

780

:

Can you honestly say that you can create

opportunities for changing yourself?

781

:

I don't know about you, but I

wasn't chasing a police car.

782

:

I wasn't chased by somebody, but

I was chased by police when I was

783

:

going through the roughest part

of my life at 16 years of age.

784

:

You see, the most common connection

between my guest today, and also

785

:

myself, is that I also had the

possibility of facing jail time.

786

:

I didn't go to jail, but I certainly had

the biggest scare of my life because I was

787

:

just not happy with who I was becoming.

788

:

I was not happy with the growth

and support that I was receiving,

789

:

and I was not investing in

myself, even at 16 years of age.

790

:

That moment in my life in which I faced

a record that would have been for the

791

:

rest of my life fundamentally changed me.

792

:

It made me not just a better person

overall, but allowed me to fight for the

793

:

right reasons instead of the wrong, so I

don't know about you, but you need to get

794

:

out of the lifestyle that might be holding

you back from creating not just those

795

:

changes that you need to have, but being

able to look elsewhere when those people

796

:

that have been holding you back for so

long, or creating such a negative mindset

797

:

for what's ahead, because you are worthy

of being paid what your worth is, and

798

:

that isn't just about the monetary aspect.

799

:

No, no, no.

800

:

It's about the mental and physical

things that you should be paid for.

801

:

You should be able to feel healthy,

engaged, and excited for the ideas,

802

:

inspirations, and attitudes that you

are allowing yourself to accept, so stop

803

:

listening to those inner voices that

are telling you no, because you are not

804

:

being chased by the police, you are no

longer a slave to the negativity that

805

:

exists in your life, and when you cross

that barrier of wanting to have the best

806

:

version of yourself, not only are the

things worthy of your life going to come

807

:

alive, but you will see what will happen

to you and others as a result of your

808

:

amazing talents, amazing opportunities,

and the things that you employ, and hey!

809

:

If it doesn't all work out, at least

I have a gym buddy for leg day.

810
