The real story behind fitness success isn’t just muscle or money; it’s resilience. John Rowley’s journey proves that no setback, no loss, and no crisis can stop a man who chooses to rise again.
In this legacy series, I sit down with John, a fitness pioneer, entrepreneur, bestselling author, and one of the most influential figures in the heyday of online fitness, to uncover his powerful story of near-death survival, massive business wins and losses, and his unshakable return to serving with integrity, faith, and purpose.
This is more than an interview. It’s an inspiring look at how true legacy is built on resilience, service, and never giving up.
Enjoy the episode.
