Listen "Episode 41 - Ryan, Inez and Sophie (Kinsei-Do Corner): Raising the Next Generation of Awesome"
Episode Synopsis
In this final episode of 2022, I had the immense pleasure of sitting down with perhaps the Fittest Family in Indonesia, Ryan, Inez and Sophie, from Malang.
Ryan, who's been on the show a number of times already, is the co-owner of VPT Strength Club together with his wife, Inez, who is a highly accomplished powerlifting, bodybuilding and CrossFit competitor (yes, all three!) herself. Rounding off the esteemed guest list was Inez' 16 year old daughter, Sophie, who I've had the pleasure of seeing first hand tearing up the competition floor at this year's Magnus Iron Games.
With guests of such pedigree and combined experience, it's no wonder our conversation was extremely wide ranging and took us from Inez' experience of competing at the 2010 CrossFit Regionals, to raising active and healthy children, and everything in between!
If you are a parent trying to get your kids off the couch and away from their devices more often, or if you're an avid athlete (from teen to masters) looking to be competitive and awesome like the Townsons are, or even if you just want to get (back) into fitness and do something good for yourself, I promise you'll find some advice and nuggets of wisdom in this conversation. Enjoy!
