What is a Garage Gym Athlete? Welcome to the Garage Gym Athlete Podcast!! What is this podcast?? The Garage Gym Athlete Podcast was born from a community of underground athletes you've probably never heard of before. The idea for this show stemmed from Jerred Moon, the creator of Garage Gym Athlete programming, when he would do weekly coaching calls with Garage Gym Athletes. He found each athlete had such a unique story, an inspirational journey, and had overcome their own set of challenges that could help impact other athletes...but only if the stories could be told to all. The athletes all have a diverse background; some from Powerlifting, CrossFit, Olympic Lifting, Endurance Training, Military Operators, Collegiate Athletes, Spartan Racers, Obstacle Course Racers, and many other forms of physical training. It takes the experience of these athletes braving the extreme heat, bitter cold, early mornings, and late nights to tackle their training and become athletes. This podcast is for Garage Gym Athletes and by Garage Gym Athletes. Athletes share their experience (whether a beginner or advanced), share their knowledge, and give us a glimpse into the life of a Garage Gym Athlete!! We all know the gym SUCKS...And it comes with a long commute, crowds of people, occupied equipment, and much worse...Also, home fitness SUCKS...Because the treadmill becomes a clothing rack...Or you spend an hour with a DVD jumping around in your living room...But we're changing the game...By providing the other guy (who's strapped for time) with intelligent training to help them perform and look like an athlete. Our aim is for this podcast to inspire your own Garage Gym journey and to pick up as much as you can from other Garage Gym Athletes who are crushing it!! This show's transcript: You may have never heard of us, but you can't deny our momentum. The steam behind this movement is growing rapidly. Some of us are Spartan Racers. Some of us are Special Operators. Some of us are CPAs, fathers, mothers, your friends, your neighbors… but one thing we all have in common is that we are all athletes. Before I tell you exactly what a Garage Gym Athlete is, I have to answer a more important question…. How did we get to this point? When did we start giving the proverbial middle finger to the fitness norm? What changed? Or more importantly…what broke? If you crack open your fitness history books, it is not hard to draw a direct line to how we got here. The first thing you have know is there are consequences, or aftereffects, to every significant event in the fitness industry. We call them AFTERMATHs. If we go back to 1953 you'll see the significant push in home fitness by a man named Jack LaLanne. Jack LaLanne was an American fitness, exercise, and nutrition expert who is sometimes referred to as the "Godfather of Fitness". He started the "Jack LaLanne Show" on 28 September 1953. The show was noted for its minimalist set, where LaLanne inspired his viewers to use basic home objects, such as a chair, to perform their exercises along with him. Home fitness is born. Wearing his standard jumpsuit, he urged his audience "with the enthusiasm of an evangelist," to get off their couch and copy his basic movements, a manner considered the forerunner of today's fitness videos. While he made a significant impact in the fitness industry… There was just one problem: Jack wasn't hardcore enough. He didn't pump you up. An aftermath to his impact was bound to ensue. Jack's LaLanne aftermath? Arnold. Arnold needs little introduction, as Schwarzenegger is considered among the most important figures in the history of bodybuilding. Schwarzenegger's was so prominent in the health and fitness scene he was even appointed to the President's Council on Physical Fitness and Sports, on which he served from 1990 to 1993. Even with Arnold's admitted steroid use, he exploded the industry. Everyone was looking to pump iron and look like Arnold. While an exciting time; this is where a new rift begins. A new aftermath begins to build. And it's important that you NOTE this one — as it changed fitness culture forever. As highlighted in the documentary "Bigger, Stronger, Faster" people started learning that all of their heroes from Arnold to Rocky were pumped full of performance enhancing drugs. This truth put a splinter in the fitness industry. And while that splinter was festering, the explosion of vanity-based fitness, tanning beds, harmful supplements, and men shaving their legs reigned supreme. What we call globo gyms came onto the scene heavily in the 90's; gyms where you can get a haircut, go for a swim, lift weights, and pay your taxes all while eating a krispy cream donut and having access to 357 channels on one of 200 treadmills. And, unfortunately, that is all still king today. But not everyone was OK with this status quo. Like I said, there are consequences, or aftereffects, to every significant event in the fitness industry. The next aftermath began in 2002. In
