“We are creating something that is a different animal…a combination of a performance testing tool and training tool…a new universal standard for strength and conditioning.”

“The future of fitness…a sensation of training underwater…low impact…proprioception…Proteus Motion.”   Sam Miller - Proteus Motion

It’s time for the Two Fit Crazies and a Microphone Podcast with today’s featured guest, Sam Miller, the founder of Proteus Motion Inc. In this episode, Sam reveals the future of fitness when he explains the inspiration, creation, and concept behind his “performance testing tool and training tool.” From growing up as an elite soccer player and passionate athlete, Sam understood that to perform at your best, there must be universal assessments, proven data, and individualized training programs. With an inventor and MIT graduate as a father, Sam garnered the inspiration and drive to create the “ultimate assessment tool for strength and power” that would produce accurate information in a few short minutes. If this sounds too good to be true, think again! In 2023, professional athletes that train with Proteus Motion have won the Super Bowl, World Series, PGA Masters, and more!

“The pandemic has allowed us more freedom and opportunities for collaboration.” -Elizabeth Lenart

Welcome to the FIRST EVER Two Fit Crazies and Microphone Podcast where Brian and Christine are hosting this amazing show from separate locations. While the two crazies are temporarily quarantined from one another, it will not stop them from conducting an amazing interview with a super talented, smart, and beautiful international fitness educator by the name of Elizabeth Lenart. Joining the show from Massachusetts, Elizabeth talks about what “fires her up” and how she was able to thrive in the fitness industry despite a world-wide pandemic. Listen carefully as Elizabeth reveals how she was able to overcome a massive spinal fusion at the age of 13 that left her with two metal rods in her spine. What would appear to be an extreme obstacle for so many, Elizabeth realized that this was a great experience that would help ignite her passion for movement and turn it into a successful career. With a degree in guidance and counselling, along with decades of experience educating, writing programs, presenting, and speaking at fitness conferences around-the-globe, Elizabeth Lenart is changing lives with her messages of inclusivity and body positivity. If you have yet to experience this rock star instructor live via ZOOM or in person, you are missing out!
