In today’s episode, Kara and Kylie are talking to Jon Childress, a competitive bodybuilder and the Head Coach/Owner of Childress Fitness. Similar to last week’s episode, Jon provides a look behind the curtain to the men’s side of the competitive bodybuilding world.

Growing up, Jon played sports in high school and enjoyed competitive events. Soon after leaving high school, Jon made some poor choices and ended up homeless for 6 months. Later, he ended up in Indiana and fell in love with fitness again. He started his fitness return with CrossFit before moving on to take up bodybuilding and coaching. He is a true example of overcoming adversity and beating the odds to succeed.

During the recording of this episode, it’s peak week for competition day for both Jon and Kylie. Together, they also outline what this means and what this looks like for each of them!

As a bonus, enjoy some fun facts and laughs from Jon’s time as a server at Olive Garden! We hope this episode provides some awesome value to you whether you intend to compete or not -- there is a ton of wisdom regarding pursuing your goals inside and outside of fitness inside.
