Welcome to Trained, a podcast exploring the cutting edge of holistic fitness.

As you might have noticed, I'm not Ryan Flarity, the man, the myth, the Nike Senior Director

of Performance.

He's off on paternity leave, waking up every couple hours, taking some swaddling shifts,

finally putting that endurance training to work.

My name is Jacqueline Byer, but most people call me Jack.

For the last few years, I've been helping to lead the charge on wellness and fitness

at Nike, heading up our coaching articles, videos, and yep, even this podcast.

I've been the fitness director at Shape, the fitness editor at Self, and I'm still a fitness

jack of all trades.

I've got certifications in personal training, group fitness, nutrition, and behavior change.

When Ryan went on leave, he asked if I could step in, do my thing, and keep the mic warm.

Call up the world's leading experts and athletes to talk about mindset, movement, nutrition,

Nike trainer who's helping to change the way we think about movement.

energy of what it does, and your body and your brain come together naturally, and they

make your body just do things.
