Back to EpisodesAram Grigorian on Influencers vs. Educators, Periodized Nutrition and “Earning Optimal”
Description
It’s no secret that helping gen pop clients see success can be tough.
It can seem daunting when you imagine that there’s more trainers and coaches entering our industry ever year, yet as a whole, we’re seeing a steady decline in our physical capacity and dealing with more severe chronic diseases than ever before.
So I went searching for someone that would really tell me how it is, and that’s why today I’m pumped to have Uh-rom Gri-gor-ian on the podcast.
A former finance bro and party boy, Aram came to the hard realization that it wasn’t the material things in his life that drove him, but rather the impact that he made on the lives of others in a positive way.
He started personal training people after being laid off from his finance job, and 10 years later, has coached hundreds of clients with his belief system of food quality/quantity, training intensity/frequency and rest/recovery.
He provides food for thought daily on his Instagram page @4weeks2thebeach and he gets clients to release themselves of their limiting beliefs by changing perspective and helping folks see that there are solutions to everything if you want to find them.
He also co-hosts the Other Side Lifestyle podcast and hosts The Real Coaches Summit, an education based event for coaches and enthusiasts.
So in this episode, we talk about a bunch of hot button topics, as well as filters you can use to reframe diet and exercise.
