[02:10] CJ wasn’t sure what to do for the rest of his life or what group of individuals he would serve -- until he noticed his own interests while playing sports and exercising. CJ decided to explore Kinesiology and Sport Science and landed internship at a facility called Gymnazo.
[04:01] Working with individuals in an open environment, where there were no machines, CJ found a way to connect with individuals who are struggling to figure out how their body moves. He realized that working out is like a chore, and it's just something that he must do to stay healthy. Through different communication styles, CJ learned the deeper purpose of working out.
[07:30] Coaches meet different people with their own story, their own goals, ambitions, and even setbacks. CJ wanted to share authentic positive energy, which sometimes leads people to ask questions like, "why are you so happy all the time?". Coaches believe that when they show up for work, they are there to serve and are happy to help and guide others when someone is lost, or they're on their path, and we want to affirm it."
[11:10] Being in a gym with coaches is like building chemistry for CJ. He believes that there is no one coach by themselves; they've got to work together. And as a team, they help to be a cutting edge of innovation and training. For CJ, it's not just about our physical training. It's a mental challenge and a spiritual challenge.
[14:12] Every piece of equipment has its certification. CJ thinks that coaches end up getting stuck on how it needs to be done appropriately. CJ felt the limitation of working out, which will lead to burnout. Somehow, what changed his perception of how to program and how to see movement was that there are infinite ways to move people's bodies.
[23:21] CJ's job is to help define what it means for someone to be healthy, fit, and more active, get to the more profound questions that drive someone's personality and their reality to shift in the way that they have always wanted to. CJ believes that's it is still accessible, but we have to be able to do the work and put in the effort to apply those things in practice. CJ wanted people to come back and give their best effort for him to do so as well.
[25:33] CJ believes that to change someone's mindset starts with self-talk.
[26:53] Accepting people's answers to what it means for them to be healthy and not questioning their beliefs.
[29:02] Find your own goal or purpose for doing your training. It helps people to recognize the improvements and changes that happen over time.
[36:21] Learning the proper way to breathing is beneficial to people. When it feels uncomfortable, people tend to react and stop doing it. But that's when people start to break free. As soon as they begin to have that basal foundation layer that's good for training, they begin to explore and turning it into a habit for better endurance and to be in tune.
[42:56] Core values are essential for discovering what we value and what we believe in, connecting people that have the same wavelength as theirs.
