Welcome to the Boom Boom Performance Podcast, your resource for science-based training and nutrition,

data-driven coaching, and education-focused content. Before we get into this podcast, I just want to say

thank you for taking the time to listen and learn with me so that you can apply what you are

about to learn, take my strategies, use these tools, and finally

have some serious methods to see sustainable success with your physique, your mind, and your life.

This podcast was built on the foundation of applied education, and I'm excited for you to be here

so you can have that experience with me. Now without any further ado,

let's get on to the show.

Today's guest is Carl Hardwick, who is the CEO of OPEX Fitness, OPEX Gems, and the Big Dog

athletes. Carl is somebody who has grown with opex for a while now somebody

i've been following and respecting for quite a while too um and just in general everything they do

as coaches and in people who are creating fitness programs um in lifestyle transformations if you will

really align with with what we do at tailored coaching method so it's two companies that have a very

similar message have a very similar philosophy and agree on a lot of different things so you definitely

won't hear us debate on anything today but you will get a chance to hear two people in the coaching

space who have been in the coaching space for a long time and who have a lot of passion around

individualizing and tailoring the process to the individual.

So we're going to touch on program design.

We're going to touch on behavior change.

We're going to touch on how to connect with your clients better.

We're going to talk about where the future of the industry is heading and tech inside of fitness,

some things they have planned.
