In this episode of the Choose Hard podcast, we have the one and only Mike Stella, who is the owner of Movement Underground.

Movement Underground is a gym in Long Island, New York, but it is not just your typical gym, because Mike is not your typical coach.

He has an insane story backed up with hours and hours. I mean, thousands of hours of developing mastery in his craft. He is somebody that I

truly trust when it comes to getting out of pain, rehabbing an individual, and getting them to

perform at their best possible self. He is actually going to be helping me with some of my issues

and my pain and my dysfunctions and movement pattern issues that I've accumulated over the years

of training and challenging my body in numerous ways because he is literally the person I trust more than anyone to do this. He takes a very holistic approach as you are going to hear in this podcast because he doesn't just ask about the root cause. He didn't ask me, okay, you have low back issues. What happened? He asked me, what about your needs? What about your hips? What about your ankles? What about your shoulders? What about

your stress? How about your sleep? What's your lifestyle like? And we started going down this rabbit

hole that really opened my eyes to how important all these other facets of life are in regards to

your pain and specifically getting out of that pain. He also makes you feel as though pain is not necessarily

the enemy, but rather it is just a signal or a sign of information that tells you your body is

demanding change and it is time for you to create change. So if you are a movement specialist,

an athletic trainer like Mike, if you are a gym owner or an entrepreneur in the fitness space,

like Mike, the owner of a gym slash or an entrepreneur in the fitness space, like Mike,

the owner of a gym slash rehab facility, or you are somebody who is currently in some kind of

nagging pain and is limiting your ability to be optimal and to do the things you love to do in the

gym or activities outside of the gym, this is going to be a groundbreaking podcast for you.

We break down so much valuable information,

but also we go through his story and his own story of pain and his own story of struggle and

choosing hard to build his career and become who he is in the industry today. I really, really

enjoy this podcast. I know you're going to as well. And so without any further ado, let's get

to this episode with the one and only Mike Stella.
