In Episode 186, the Two Fit Crazies welcome THE Peter Twist, who is joining the show from his home in beautiful Vancouver, Canada. If you have yet to hear of the amazing Peter Twist, you are in for a HUGE treat! Peter, or Coach Twist, shares his story of growing up in Canada, falling in love with team sports at an early age, and becoming the very first strength and conditioning coach for the NHL. From hockey, to baseball, to tennis, to football, to mountain biking, to skiing, to ocean kayaking, to trail running, Peter was always fascinated with movement. However, after attaining a master’s degree in coaching science, he soon realized that he didn’t want to be a head coach of a sports team, but that he wanted to be a strength and conditioning coach to mold athletes through developing their speed, agility, strength, balance, flexibility and more. Peter was a visionary when it came to understanding the importance of plyometrics and functional exercise to improve the “whole” athlete. Peter discusses the process of turning his dreams into a reality through his determination and mindset practices that not only landed him the job as the first NHL strength and conditioning coach, but also a “cancer crusher.” It is no wonder that Peter Twist is a highly coveted world-renowned speaker whose resilience and passion for changing lives is unparalleled. Be on the lookout for Peter Twist’s upcoming books and continuing education courses! He may just convince you to “get out of your own mind and into your heart….and that the best form of wealth is being enriched.”

Logan Muller - 2020 Two Fit Crazies and a Microphone Podcast Scholarship Award Winner - Episode 176

Episode 176 - Logan Muller - 2020 Two Fit Crazies and a Microphone Podcast Scholarship Award Winner

“I was only 14-years-old, and I was not like other kids...I was diagnosed with juvenile arthritis...I had to rely on medicine…I was not going to give up.”

“...exercise and eating better makes me feel good.” - Logan Muller (18-years-old & Rheumatoid arthritis WARRIOR!)

This episode of the Two Fit Crazies & A Microphone Podcast is very special. Today, you will hear from Logan Muller, who is joined by her mother Linda Muller, for an in-studio interview that will pull at your heartstrings. Logan, the recipient of the 2020 Two Fit Crazies & A Microphone Scholarship, presented through the Brick Township Chamber of Commerce, shares her powerful story of perseverance and determination to overcome and triumph over her juvenile rheumatoid arthritis diagnosis as a young teenager. Logan, a super sweet, intelligent, “old-soul,” as her mother lovingly refers to her, endured years of physical and emotional obstacles and many times of uncertainty. From long trips to and from her specialists, to undergoing various chemo treatments in an attempt to put her disease into remission, Logan was able to remain focused on her schoolwork and even managed to make it to the Cheerleading World Championships three times where she earned an 11th place ranking! Logan is wise beyond her years as she proves while discussing the impact that eating a healthy diet, exercise and a positive mindset has had on her ability to reduce flare-ups and feel good. Everyone needs to take notes on this one!

Finally, the Two Fit Crazies fill in Logan on their 40-mile run for Christine’s 40th birthday to benefit her scholarship and how Logan must now continue her journey to inspire others through her story! Logan will be attending Seton Hall University this fall where she has already been accepted to a 6-year occupational therapy program.

Thank you to the Brick Township Chamber of Commerce and the Muller Family for making this episode so special.

Episode 122 - Joel Matalon - RUNhabX- Owner, JoeFitnessWorld Coaching-Training-Living, CEO Chi Running/Chi Walking, Master & Director of Continuing Education ACE, Faculty Member

 

“Run happy instead of running hard...run with feeling...moving in all planes …to be a better person in any situation…” -Joel Matalon

 

In Episode 122, the Two Fit Crazies enjoyed an awesome conversation with Chi Running master, Joel Matalon. Joel is fascinated with the “WHY” behind running. As a young scrawny boy (his words, not ours) growing up in Queens, Joel recalls some very vivid memories about how running saved him from getting beat up by gang members and even enduring abuse by an unsuspecting adult figure in his life. However, Joel also shares the fact that he really didn’t start running until his dad promised him a soda if he ran around the block five times. Let’s just say that Joel REALLY liked soda and his dad always kept his promise! Joel discusses the ways in which he is now able to share his passion for running throughout the U.S. as a Master Chi Running/Walking Educator and how his expertise and experience is coveted by many who wish to hire him as a running coach. Presenting at major conferences around the world is in Joel’s plans as well as launching his newest venture called, The FitNantial Group. Joel is determined to help fellow fitness professionals control their fitness and finances to ensure they are making the best investments for their future! 

Joel Matalon is “where it’s at” on Episode 122! Enjoy!

Episode 109 - Sheera Goren, Co-Founder & CEO of ZYGO 

“...be SWIMSPIRED!” 

“...I wanted to create the Peloton of swimming!” 

“...we are dealing with a passionate population.”  -Sheera Goren 

 

In Episode 109, the Two Fit Crazies are WOWED by Sheera Goren, the co-founder and CEO of Zygo, the first wireless headset for underwater streaming audio and live coaching. Whether you are a swimmer or non-swimmer, Zygo is going to revolutionize all water sports with its ability to transmit sound through a specific frequency that penetrates water. Swim coaches can instruct swimmers mid-stroke while surfers, stand-up paddle boarders, crew teams, can receive real-time coaching. Sheera reveals how her past experiences playing soccer at the University of Michigan, attending law school at UCLA, and working in the world of hospitality law all lead her to the creation of Zygo. As a non-swimmer who wanted to dabble in the world of triathlon, like Fit Crazie Christine, she was lost when it came to finding the right training groups to learn to swim. Sheera talked about how she created her own swim groups rather than attend intimidating Masters groups or take water aerobics classes with “older” populations. She further explains how she wanted to create “the Peloton for swimming” with Zygo and give people the ability to listen to podcasts and music as well as receive live and recorded coaching.

“Get your feet in the door and then figure it out! Ride the momentum!” 

“Welcome the unknown and learn from it!”  -Jesse Itzler 

 

Happy 100th Episode/Birthday/Anniversary! We f’ing made it!

In this episode, the Two Fit Crazies go BIG as they welcome the AMAZING Jesse Itzler! Jesse joins the best “party” in the world to shed some light on how to build your “life’s resume.” Through Jesse’s ability to think BACKWARDS, he then was able to “write the end of the movie...but then you just have to write the script.” This seemed to work for Jesse Itzler since he first made a name for himself as a rapper on MTV in the 1990’s. Since then, Jesse went on to write the theme song for the New York Knicks, found Marquis Jets, own Zico Coconut Water, and even own the Atlanta Hawks. Although Jesse’s “life resume” is super impressive, Jesse is someone who “walks the walk.” He is a true giver and believes in the power of relationships, but he also believes that, at the end of the day, we all want the same thing: “we want to feel good!”

In this episode, Jesse shares his insight on the importance of fitness, nutrition, and mindfulness as it relates to happiness and success. Even after living with David Goggins for a month and then living with monks, Jesse continues to crave new experiences. He has created events, or “Experiences,” for others to quit the mundane and invest in themselves. Climb mountains, camp in the wilderness, and BUILD THAT LIFE RESUME!  Hear more from the AWESOME Jesse Itzler and find out about how to register for an upcoming event or workshop on Episode 100!

Episode 99 - Matthew Long - ATHLETE-SURVIVOR- SPEAKER

Former NYC Firefighter

The Long Run, Author

Motivational Speaker, WME Speakers

Orangetheory Fitness Danbury, CT Franchisee

ATHLETE-SURVIVOR- SPEAKER

 

“Why did it happen...and why did I live?”

“...Turn your burners on and fire-up the human spirit!”

-Matt Long

 

In Episode 99, the Two Fit Crazies are left speechless from the most amazingly inspirational story of one man’s battle for survival after being hit by a 40-ton bus on the streets of New York City at 5:30AM on December 22nd, 2005. With a 1% chance for survival even after receiving over 68 units of blood, Matt Long was not about to give up. As a NYC firefighter, triathlete, marathoner, and IRONMAN at the time of the accident, Matt discusses how his elite fitness level “literally” saved his life. Although Matt champions an “I WILL” attitude, he also shares what it was like to wish his mother had prayed for him to die instead of having to endure the slow and painful process of rehabilitating a body that was practically sliced in two. Unbelievably, Matt not only survived the day he and his bicycle were crushed beneath the 10” space between a charter bus and the asphalt, but also recalls the mental journey to recovery! After more than 40 operations and years of rehabilitation, Matt has since returned to the New York City Marathon, IRONMAN Lake Placid, cycling, and even holds 8 world records for the indoor rower! Matt also discuss his inspirational book, The Long Run, as well as his love for public speaking engagements and why he decided to be a franchisee for Orangetheory Fitness. Prepare to be inspired!

Bart Yasso - The Mayor of Running - Episode 81

Two Fit Crazies and a Microphone

Episode 81 – Bart Yasso - The Mayor of Running

“Never limit where running can take you.” Bart Yasso

In Episode 81, the Two Fit Crazies had the honor of speaking with the great Bart Yasso. Affectionately known as the “Mayor of Running”, Bart goes deep into his journey and life in running. Recently retired after 21 years at Runner’s World where he held the title of Chief Running Officer, Bart takes us from his first run in “cutoff jeans and a Budweiser t-shirt” to the “world’s toughest footrace” through Death Valley to a 5k in a nudist colony. And an interview with Bart would never be complete without getting the lowdown on the famous workout created by and named for him – the Yasso 800s, stating that “There isn’t a day that someone doesn’t mention Yasso 800’s.”

Bart is an incredibly genuine person with a passion for running and life. It felt like we were old friends catching up after some time apart. An inspiration to all that cross his path, we hope that you enjoy this episode as much as we did.

 

Yours in Fitness (and running),

Brian and Christine – The Two Fit Crazies
