1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,320
Justin Groth, tell me about your vision. Well, I mean, I'm living my vision. I had a vision

2
00:00:06,320 --> 00:00:13,120
years ago to be a personal trainer, to be a coach to many. And that's exactly what I'm doing

3
00:00:13,120 --> 00:00:19,120
currently. I mean, I have, I just told you off record road, you know, before we got into the

4
00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:26,800
recording that I have a brick and mortar, I have a, an actual physical location where I train people,

5
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:32,000
I personal training and I coach and you were kind of answer asking me on the difference of personal

6
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:37,200
training and coaching. And I answered with some people just want personal training. They just want

7
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:42,240
the workouts. They don't want any nutrition. They don't want to have, you know, targets set

8
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:48,080
for certain macros. They don't want accountability. They just want to come in, do a workout and then

9
00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:54,320
leave. And that's where coaching and personal training kind of come into a, there's a, there's,

10
00:00:54,320 --> 00:01:00,640
there's, that's the disparity between the two. Now I do much better coaching people because I can set

11
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:06,960
parameters and I control the variables. And that's where I get the real results of people, as much as

12
00:01:06,960 --> 00:01:13,440
people would like to assume that they're going to get results, just having a PT, it's, it's, it's very

13
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:17,840
ambitious for them to think that, but it lay in my experience, it just hasn't been the case, man. A

14
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:22,720
lot of people, they, they slack on themselves and they give themselves too much leeway and they give

15
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:28,080
themselves too many excuses. And before you know it, they've compounded these excuses to where they

16
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:33,600
are now setting themselves going in the opposite direction that they wanted to once go. And so

17
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:41,360
that's where coaching is, is definitely the proper implement to put in place so that they reach their

18
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:46,560
goals. Cause that's what their desire is. That's what they're with me for. And so it makes sense

19
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:50,720
that we cover all the parameters and I have more control of those parameters. And there's more of

20
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:55,760
a communication between me and that person, not just when they're training, but with every day

21
00:01:56,640 --> 00:02:02,080
the behaviors or old behaviors, old habits that they're trying to bust in order to get somewhere

22
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:06,720
that they've never been before with their body. Justin, thank you for sharing that. Where would

23
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:13,120
you say that this vision of you wanting to train people and coach people come from?

24
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:21,040
You know, I, I don't really, I can't really give you the impetus behind it or, or, or the

25
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:28,240
germination, but it kind of just organically presented itself to be honest. I started competing

26
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:34,560
in bodybuilding very early on in the 2000s, probably, well, I said early on like 2008, 2009.

27
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:41,440
And when I started to compete in bodybuilding, obviously before the show I'm preparing for my,

28
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:47,200
for my contest. And so I'm getting a lot leaner and I'm showcasing a different physique to people

29
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:52,080
that are around me in my local gym. And then it was only then when people start coming up to me

30
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:57,440
and asking me what I'm doing, what kind of diet am I on, et cetera, you know, the questions. And

31
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:04,320
then that started to turn into, Hey, can you watch me do this set? Can you see what my form looks?

32
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:09,120
Can you, you know, and then they started asking me questions on, you know, what's the good exercise

33
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:14,400
for this muscle? What's good for that muscle? And I started to, to notice that I love to pour into

34
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:22,000
people when it came to me just sharing whatever knowledge I had on the endeavor of getting a

35
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:30,320
better body. And that's what kind of presented itself, the idea organically to become a personal

36
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:36,480
trainer. And then, so that's really how it started for me. And I've been doing it ever since. And I've

37
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:43,040
just been doing it at different levels for a very long period of time. But would you say Justin,

38
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:49,120
after all that you shared with me is what gets you out of bed in the morning? What gets you like,

39
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:54,080
Hey, I want to keep doing this. I want to keep working out or keep helping people get a chain,

40
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:57,680
their body and a mindset. What gets you out of bed every morning to do so?

41
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:06,000
Well, right now I'm my why I don't want to go backwards. And I've done this for so long that

42
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:11,200
it's just everything that I know. It's I don't know really anything else. And so now I'm on,

43
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:18,480
you know, this is autonomous behavior, so to speak, I just wake up and I do. And I don't really think

44
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:26,320
about the why to be honest, I just operate. And my why never even really occurred to me even back

45
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:32,160
when I started. It was, I guess, if you really wanted to do sit down to something, it was,

46
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:38,160
I want to get a better body. I wanted to look better. I wanted to look better naked. I wanted to

47
00:04:39,280 --> 00:04:45,760
be more attractive to females. I wanted to be more attractive to myself. And that was really just,

48
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:52,560
that was the only feasible impetus that I can reflect back on as to the means why I got in the

49
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:57,520
shape that I got and why I took it to the level that I did with competitive bodybuilding. But

50
00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:04,880
to be honest with you, there isn't a why right now. It is just a do. I just do. I don't think about the why.

51
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:14,880
Wow. I think you're the first person on my show that has said I just do and I don't have a why.

52
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:19,760
That's it. You don't think about the why. So thank you for being authentic, Justin, and sharing all that.

53
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:25,600
Then goes to the next question, Justin. Then what is your goal for being on the show?

54
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:32,880
You know what? I don't really have a goal for being on the show. If I had to reach for anything

55
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:39,200
to say, I would say just to have a discussion about fitness, a discussion about personal

56
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:43,600
development, a discussion about mindset and maybe what holds certain people back from doing what

57
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:49,440
they want to do, or maybe even embarking on fitness in the first place. If I can be of help for them,

58
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:55,360
great. If you can be of help for them, great. If just getting people up off the couch and getting

59
00:05:55,360 --> 00:06:00,480
them stronger and healthier and more empowered in their bodies. That's what I hope stems from

60
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:06,640
this conversation. I don't really, even though humans are obviously goal oriented and we have

61
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:12,160
intent behind anything we do and anything we do, we expect to benefit us. That's the only reason

62
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:19,680
we do anything in life. I don't really look that far out in terms of it being a goal. I look at

63
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:26,320
this being a positive, there's something of positive intention behind it. I think it can

64
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:31,280
move the goalposts forward for some people that listen in on this discussion. I think that

65
00:06:31,280 --> 00:06:36,720
hopefully the words penetrate certain people and it causes them to react in a favorable way.

66
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:43,360
That's so it's not really a goal. It's a hope. I don't have a goal. I have a hope for the show.

67
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:47,280
Thank you for being here today. I'm really happy that you tuned in to Vision Pros Live.

68
00:06:47,280 --> 00:06:52,320

69
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:56,480
going to get more and more fun. We'll have more and more engagement as well. We'll invite people

70
00:06:56,480 --> 00:07:01,200

71
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:17,680
