    Fitness Education Has a Problem...

    Fitness Education Has a Problem...

    In this episode, Gymnazo Founder Michael Hughes reflects on a recent conversation that he had with a college professor and dean about the standard of education in our country.
    This episode explores topics that dive deep into the fabric of "How" we get taught to think and process learning as we go through our educational journey. The traditional educational system we are currently in does a great job of producing a certain type of learner or professional.
    In this episode, Michael questions whether or not our educational system is teaching its students to ask the right questions and how it is massively affecting the healthcare system and the way the fitness industry has coached its clients. Perhaps there is a better process!

    Grant Thomas on Exploring & Integrating the Spiritual Side of Movement

    Grant Thomas on Exploring & Integrating the Spiritual Side of Movement

    In this episode, Director of Programming at Gymnazo CJ Kobliska, sits down with Movement Specialist and Creator of Smoov Moves Grant Thomas. They explore topics like what it means to be strong, integrating intentions and awareness into movement, the differences between a movement matrix and movement pattern, and a whole lot more!
    About Grant Thomas:
    Grant is a movement specialist that dances in the realms of bodyweight strength, rhythm, and various forms of play. His deep dive into movement began with chronic back pain at age 19 which led him down an alternative path to physical training, mentality, and holistic health. Today, Grant empowers individuals to create their own movement legacy through SMOOV Moves, an online fitness platform that focuses on foundational movement, practical strength and skill development. You can find Grant in the park crawling on the grass, spinning the rope and kicking the hacky sack around for hours on end.
