Chrissy Horan - Freelance Writer and Running Enthusiast - Episode 275

Episode 275 - Chrissy Horan - Freelance Writer and Running Enthusiast 

“For me, running became a kind of game…I ran to the next bridge….then the next…” “My favorite part of the Boston Marathon…it sends the tingle up your spine.” 

“...I first started writing a blog…but I love writing human interest stories…” Chrissy Horan  

In today’s episode of the Two Fit Crazies and a Microphone Podcast, let’s welcome running enthusiast and freelance writer, Chrissy Horan. Chrissy, a Long Island native, who also happens to be Christine’s childhood volleyball teammate, is here to share how her unexpected love for running led her to become an experienced marathon runner, volunteer, fundraiser and freelance writer. Chrissy, a former obesity researcher, claims to have always “dreaded running” until she moved to Boston in 2000 and began running along the historic Charles River. For Chrissy, her competitive nature enabled her to turn her running into “a kind of game,” running just a little farther each run. Fast forward, Chrissy Horan has established herself as a runner who not only takes pride in raising funds and awareness for charities such as the Alzheimer’s Association, but also writing about current research and human interest stories related to the sport. Chrissy’s articles have been featured in Runner’s World, the Boston Globe, Women’s Running and Boston.com. In fact, she even wrote an amazing evidence-based article shedding light on the benefits of running to fight Rheumatoid Arthritis that featured a cameo by one of the “Fit

Crazies.” Learn more about Chrissy Horan and read her latest blogs and articles at www.ChrissyHoran.com.

Episode 274 - Rachel Lavin - Author of The Doughnut Diaries/Personal Trainer/Certified Life Coach 

“I turned 40…I was so tired of being unfulfilled…Whatever the “new thing” was, I tried it…Any diet is a repackaged restriction…” 

“It’s never too late to be happy. 

What is a “doughnut diary?” In today’s episode of the Two Fit Crazies and a Microphone Podcast, Rachel Lavin explains exactly what led her to write, The Doughnut Diaries: A Personal Trainer’s Tale of Being Every Size from 12 Through 0! After over twenty years as a fitness professional, Rachel is finally breaking her silence about how her love-hate relationship with doughnuts led to a life-changing epiphany. While Rachel does NOT promote the overindulgence of the sweet treat, she does promote the power of loving yourself in order to stop the “madness of dieting, restricting foods, or using exercise to make yourself smaller.” Get ready for a glimpse into what your life could look like once you stop hating your body and realizing that you are not alone.

You will fall in love with this California-based power couple who just happened to swing by the studio this week while on vacation at the Jersey shore. Lucky for us, Kelly and Rick took a little hiatus to sit down and talk about all their amazing projects and offer up some awesome fitness and business advice! Rick, a marketing and self-taught production expert, discusses how FitBiz Toolbox was created to provide fitness professionals the tools needed to successfully launch their career. In addition, Kelly shares what it was like to leave her eighteen-year elementary school teaching career to follow her passion for fitness and create her own company called SoulStrength Fit. Kelly, a true pioneer, has found the perfect combination of daily bible study and exercise “to become God’s best version of you.” Her world-renowned program continues to grow as more and more Christian women see the value and fulfillment in this powerful combination of faith, movement, nutrition, and community. Be sure to keep an eye out for Rick and Kelly Wenner and get your daily does of awesomeness on Devotionals on the Go Podcast!

“MOXIE has built everything…they have flipped the script…be confident…grow your brand and bring it to the platform. This is your house…program, coaching, and following up!” - Jenn Blackburn

Get ready for another awesome guest today on The Two Fit Crazies and a Microphone Podcast. Let’s welcome MOXIE master trainer, Jenn Blackburn, to the show who is joining us from her home in DC.

If you are a fitness professional looking to grow your brand without a brick and mortar, or you do not have the funds or the knowhow to build your own website and take care of the backend of running a business, your prayers have been answered! And, if you love to take group fitness classes and looking to join virtual groups taught by some of the most experienced and well-known fit pros in the world, you are in luck. Jenn also sheds light on the “why” behind MOXIE and what makes this platform outshine the rest! MOXIE is designed to be a wellness community “to bring people together, empower its participants and instructors, and allow fitness professionals to thrive and earn a good living.” Check out MOXIE at www.moxie.xyz and see for yourself!

Episode 226 - Hank Ebeling IV - Founder of H4 Training, Business Coach and Author of Crushing the Competition with Service

“At an early age in my fitness career, I was ingrained with the importance of customer service...put people first and the profits will come.” - Hank Ebeling IV

In this episode of the Two Fit Crazies and a Microphone Podcast, Hank Ebeling IV joins the Fit Crazies to shed some light on the MOST IMPORTANT skill to master in order grow your business while “crushing the competition.” Listen up as Hank breaks down proven methods for success as detailed in latest book, Crushing the Competition with Service. After receiving an exercise science degree from UNLV, Hank learned firsthand the importance of providing exceptional customer service from some of the top hotels and health clubs on the Las Vegas Strip. From the Venetian to Equinox Sports Clubs, Hank recalls how a simple handshake, a welcoming remark, remembering someone’s favorite sports team, or what they prefer in their coffee can make the difference between a fleeting client and a life-long membership. In the last decade, Hank continued to educate himself about the power of growing a business with a focus on stellar customer experience alongside fitness legends such as Rick Mayo, Todd Durkin, Allan Cosgrove, Mike Boyle and more. In 2013, Hank founded and opened the doors to H4 Training, a small group training facility just west of Chicago. In a few short years, Hank’s success led to the opening of his second location in 2017, and a third location is in the works. Get ready to take some notes and level-up your customer service so you, too, can “CRUSH THE COMPETITION!”
