Listen "242. The unexpected lessons that shape how I coach"
Episode Synopsis
In this freestyle episode, Coach JK pulls back the curtain on some of the life experiences that have shaped his coaching philosophy. From early struggles stepping into the gym as a father and husband, to lessons learned working in retail fashion, JK shares the backstory behind why his approach to training and nutrition is firmly lifestyle-centric.This episode connects the dots between personal history and coaching style...why JK believes fitness should fit your life (not the other way around), and how experiences outside the gym can influence how we build confidence, habits, and long-term success.Perspective notes: Why JK’s coaching philosophy is rooted in helping adults with responsibilities, not “perfect schedules.”How his "late" start in fitness impacts the way he programs and relates to clients.Lessons from retail fashion that translate into fitness: the problem isn’t always you, sometimes it’s the “template” you’re trying to fit into.Why early wins and a tailored approach build confidence that lasts.Connect with Coach JKInstagram: @CoachJKMcLeodEmail: [email protected]
