Florida’s Fittest Podcast

Welcome back to Florida’s Fittest Podcast! My first guest of the year is someone who has known me for a long time. She is the owner of @hotworxosprey, Personal Trainer @k2_fittribe and the Hybrid Coach @coresrq. We take about achieving goals, how her franchise (which opens in March 2023) helps with recovery while working out and the importance of continual growth!

Just a quick rant on what happened over the weekend for me and my thoughts on it. Remember, if you’re a coach, it’s literally your job to watch and critique your athletes when they compete! Otherwise why are you even on the sideline? As always thank you guys for tuning in!

It’s the New Year and we have goals we want to achieve. This is my preferred method of stacking wins and achieving my objectives. All you need is a notebook and a pen. Let’s Go!!

Welcome to 2023! I just want to thank you listeners for staying with us and supporting our Podcast! I just shared some quick insight for new year ahead of us and I hope you enjoy!

We welcome our instructor Werther Marciales who is a Black Belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Werther Marciales is a jiu-jitsu black belt who runs Fellowship Jiu-Jitsu Sarasota.

Hey guys I haven’t recorded in awhile so i figures now is better than never.

Like always thank you for the support and you can find me on Instagram @mcox91 @floridasfittestpodcast and on Facebook at Florida’s Fittest Podcast.

The world is too full of hate right now and there is no need to contribute to it. I didn’t want to make a part 2 but things happened and I needed to speak about them.
