What if peace isn’t something you discover but something you construct, brick by brick? We sit down with Devon, our fitness manager, to trace a path from numbness and depression to deliberate identity-building, relentless habits, and a coaching career defined by standards, not shortcuts. He shares how setting traits as targets—hardworking, kind, dependable—became a daily practice that reshaped his mental health, his relationships, and his results with clients.
We unpack the early years of overtraining and overlearning, the hard realities of session-based pay, and the leap to a salaried role where he scaled fast on service and reliability. Devon explains why he avoids alcohol and even most over-the-counter meds due to a family history of addiction, how that fear shaped an approach rooted in whole foods, and why honesty about tradeoffs builds trust. We dive into grit as a system of small, repeatable wins, the neuroscience of motivation peaking just before achievement, and the power of starting with the tiniest action—make the bed, add ten push-ups, stack momentum.
On the business side, we make the case for premium coaching: deeper assessments, real accountability, and long-term progress that outlasts trends. Paying more funds better coaches and buys the time needed to solve real problems—like chronic back pain—through careful evaluation and tailored training. Devin’s vision is clear: build a team that delivers the best training quality in the market, become harder to get into because the standards are higher, and scale impact by developing coaches so excellence multiplies.
