Carl Hardwick

BIO: OPEX COO Carl Hardwick has dedicated his life to health and fitness. Already as a teenager, Hardwick lived at the gym. A 3-time All-Conference football player at Saint Mary’s University, Hardwick became passionate about becoming the most effective coach. This led the former U.S. Army veteran to buddy up with world-renowned strength coach Charles Poliquin to complete the PICP and then to complete his Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS). While running the Army fitness program for his Battalion and a stint in Afghanistan, Hardwick was introduced to OPEX Founder James FitzGerald. Sold by the OPEX individual program design approach, Carl went on to open multiple OPEX-licensed gyms before accepting his position as COO. Today, Hardwick is an integral part of the growing OPEX engine that is using the Coach Certificate Program (CCP) to change the face of fitness by professionalizing the fitness coach.

#060 - James Fitzgerald on The Future of Fitness Coaching and Human Longevity

Bio:Michael has been the head coach at OPEX Fitness (formerly Optimum Performance Training) since 2014 as well as the expert consultant for The American Center for Natural Medicine, a functional medicine clinic.  Before coming to OPEX Michael had been a personal trainer and boot camp instructor, the head strength coach for a law enforcement academy, and an instructor for a strength and conditioning course at Northern Arizona University.  He eventually transferred to Arizona State University to study Kinesiology. While studying, he taught anatomy and physiology cadaver labs. Currently Michael is finishing a graduate degree in kinesiology which he will finish in 2018. Throughout the years he’s traveled around the world seeking deeper understanding of the human body.  Aside from his academic education, he’s a functional diagnostic nutrition practitioner. He has completed courses ranging from FMS as well as SFMA, to PRI, DNS, CFSC, Precision Nutrition, an Altis apprenticeship, as well as completed all of EXOS’s performance mentorship courses.  Throughout his travels and continuing education, he’s recognized that no matter what new information that was presented, there were underlying principles that could be applied across all populations from pain to performance as well as body composition clients.  In the last decade, he has logged over 20,000 hours of coaching. As well, he’s written thousands of programs to improve performance, get out of pain and improve or improve body composition. Michael is not only inspired to coach his clients, but to educate other coaches as well.  He has consulted with the United States Army, worked with special forces and special operations, professional and collegiate athletes, as well as general fitness clients looking to feel and look their best.  He has a firm belief that principles transcend paradigms, and that dogma leads to the death of mastery. With this vision of mastery in mind, he has traveled all over the world teaching coaches how to use the principles he recognized to elevate their own coaching craft to improve client results and their own businesses. When he’s not busy traveling the globe teaching, you can find him in sunny Scottsdale Arizona, reading a book, writing about research he reads, or spending time with his family and dog Buddy.Time-Line:0:00 – 1:14 – Robbie’s Intro1:15 – 3:47 - Mike gives us his background and current role at OPEX3:38 – 5:52 – Robbie asks Mike to share his thoughts on how important a thorough assessment is5:53 – 10:15 - Robbie asks Mike to give us his thoughts on a coaches’ scope of practice when itcomes to performing and interpreting certain assessments10:16 – 13:52 - Robbie asks Mike to share his future aspirations both personally and professionally13:53 – 15:26 - Robbie and Mike discuss about how medicine and fitness will become integrated as aholistic entity going forward in the future to help upgrade the health and well-being of people’slives, and they talk about how “everything is all connected!”15:27 – 21:00 - Robbie asks Mike about his current reading list and book recommendations21:01 – 24:01 - Robbie asks Mike the big question – If Mike could invite 5 people to dinner, dead oralive, who would he invite and why?24:02 - 24:44 - Wrap up

Joel Jamieson

BIOJoel Jamieson is a conditioning expert and online educator who teaches coaches how to write science-based conditioning programs that deliver real-world results. After working with elite performers and top athletes worldwide, including the Navy SEALS, UFC world champions, and dozens of teams from the NFL, NBA, MLS, NCAA, Joel began sharing his conditioning principles and methods in his first book, Ultimate MMA Conditioning. Since then, he’s leveraged heart rate variability technology in two fitness apps, BioForce HRV and Morpheus, to help people train at their body’s unique ideal intensity every day. When he’s not at the gym, you can spot Joel flying his amphibious plane or helicopter around his hometown of Seattle, WA.

#031 - Conditioning and Recovery-Driven Fitness with Joel Jamieson

Jim Crowell

Bio:Jim Crowell loves doing two things over all else…. Building businesses and mentoring coaches and business owners to enjoy inspiring, fulfilling, and successful careers. He attended Penn State University where he double majored in Finance and Economics. After graduation, Jim moved into the fast paced environment of a commodities trading hedge fund first in Columbus, OH and then in Austin, TX. After five years in the financial arena, Jim couldn’t ignore his heart anymore; he left finance in pursuit of fitness. For the next four years he founded and successfully scaled multiple fitness facilities in Pittsburgh. He built his reputation around three main principles: hard work, progress, and fulfillment. Those ideas lead him to earn a Business Designation with honors from The Harvard Business School, as well as his MBA through the Kenan-Flagler Business School at The University of North Carolina (UNC) while concurrently working full time. After his tenure in Pittsburgh, Jim was honored to join OPEX in sunny Scottsdale, AZ. His unique background helps him understand that every coach and business situation is different and needs to be treated with mindful strategy and relentless execution.
