  2. “Yeah, I mean, NCFit, right? Nc.fit would be great. I'm very active on Instagram, Jason Klippa. I don't use Facebook as much. I probably should and Twitter. KHALIPA.

  3. “Not good. You know, you don't go to the ICU as a cancer patient. I mean, it was really, really not good, right? It was the only time that we really felt like it was a life and death situation. I'm sitting there and there's this baby to my left and he's seven months old. And his dad comes in. The baby had never left the ICU before. And all night, they were sucking fluid out of this kid's lung because he had pneumonia or whatever it was. And I'm sitting there for two days straight, right? Up all night eating muffins, looking at my daughter over here like really not in good shape. And this guy over this baby over here in the dead, I'm just sitting there like, and people are complaining that there's traffic and it's just, you know, I'm not expecting people. I never want anybody to be in our position. I don't. But what I want them to do is to really reflect on their life and realize that everybody has something to be grateful for if you think about it, right? You're alive, you're well, you have the ability to get up and go do some amazing things, you know? And I think that sometimes people get caught.”

  4. “Changes your whole perspective. Yesterday I was on the road, and this woman is just tailing me so hard, coming around getting all crazy. I just looked over at her. I'm just like, easy. Like easy. Like life is good. You have a beautiful car. You look healthy and young and pretty. Whatever. Like, show the hell out, you know? And I think people, they get so caught up in these little problems and they let it manifest into something so great that they stop to, they never stop to reflect that, hey, look, life is okay, but I choose to look at the world me personally. I choose to look at the world in a pair of glasses, not sunglasses. I choose to look at things in a brighter light because especially after, you know, I spent three nights in the ICU and my daughter was on the brink of...”

  8. “I mean, I think you start off just saying, hey, I'm Jason Klippa with NC Fit. Just want to follow up with your whatever. I think really what you would try and do is just identify, hey, so how is your experience? We're just checking up. Did you enjoy your experience? What were you looking for out of your experience? And you identify what they were looking for, right? And they say, oh, well, did you hear that we actually just added this program that, you know, kind of tailors to what they were looking for? And I think finding out what people are looking for, I think is really important instead of trying to force feed what you think they want, find out what they do want.”

  9. “He lived by the code, you know, ABCs always be closing. He would just identify what someone needed to hear and he would work really hard at doing it. And there was no sugar coating. He would follow up with people. He would tour people well. He showed me from an early age that there's no easy answer in life. You got to put in the work and you got to get on the phones and hustle it. And you want to get leads? Go to the collections who like all the members who are past due. Call them all and try and collect it. Go back to people who visited the gym from five years ago and call them. And I would just end up with stacks on the phone. Maybe you get one.”

  10. “I was working the front desk, and so men would put in his sales slips. And I looked at his commission slips, and I was like, dude, what's going on? Teach me how to sell. And he did. And that was really a cool experience because I learned how to talk to different people, identify what their wants and needs were, and see what's going on. But it was also a time in my life where I started recognizing that you need to run an ethical business. Just because you make money, making money is not everything in life. running a very ethical, successful business is critical for me. And what happened is I would sell them the dream like, hey, join our gym for $9.99 a month. And, you know, you're in the best shape of your life. But they wouldn't. And I knew I was selling them a false hope. And so that's when I got into the kind of like the group coaching style, which just changed the game for me.”

  13. “I got a few. I mean, you know, we have a few mentors that have really helped out. Some of our corporate partners, Western Digital is one of them. Some of the executives in there have really been amazingly helpful just in asking about things because for me in my industry, sometimes I get overwhelmed. So I need to get outside my industry to start asking what's going on. And, you know, I have also friends through different sponsorships that I have that they've really helped me out from, you know, Paul. I have a lot of people. And then in the beginning.”

  17. “Very modern, maybe. I love coffee. What I would do is normally exercise, come in, see the kids. I'll make my coffee like doing pourovers. I want to get a really cool espresso machine. That's what I'm working on next. And hang out with the kids. They get breakfast. Boom, they go off to school and I go off to work. And we do our thing. And then I'll be there and I'll, you know, I'll go to meetings. I'll go to different gyms. I'll try and just see what's going on. Then sometimes I'll do a workout. I'll take one of our classes, right? Throughout the Bay Area. And then I'm always home for dinner at 530 with the family. And I get back on emails and different stuff around 7.30 till about 10 because the kids go to sleep. So basically I regiment my days. Like it's exercise, get the body moving. It's time with the family briefly in the morning. They go to school. I go to work. Then when I get home at 5.30, we have dinner. We hang out. Then for the rest of the night, I'm doing work and I go to.”

  19. “I'd say in general, it's probably some type of exercise. In general, there's exceptions to that, right? But in general, it's exercise, whether it be jiu-jitsu or, you know, hitting it in my garage, whatever it is. I like to get the body moving and I like to get flowing early in the morning”

  20. “Anyways, for me, I like more of a practical application book. I like a book like Mark Cuban's Sport of Business. I like it because it gets me fired up. I like it because it's a real story from a real guy just saying like it is and it's easy reading. It's not so analytical and things like that. And so that's the book I like.”

  21. “Yeah, I think it's just in my head. I think it's just constant evaluation, whether I like to, let's just say, be alone with my thoughts in like in the garage working out. And I just think about, you know, hey, what am I doing right now? What am I doing well? What can we do better at? How can I be better at this, this, this, this? And it's just that constant pursuit of being better at whatever I'm doing. And I think it's an internal conversation with myself. And I think that if I ever get complacent or comfortable, that's where I start getting nervous. And I think I want to get uncomfortable in business. I want to get uncomfortable and get out there and start sharing my message of what I'm trying to do and what we're trying to accomplish and provide for more people to do what they love for a living. And these are the conversations I have in my head, right? Ava's getting better now. I can start focusing a little bit more on this. But don't forget about this, you know, and things like that.”

  22. “But there's been times where I haven't been the most present father. I've been doing a lot of different things. And I wish I had learned that earlier on. At least now when I travel or the smoke I left the house at four and I'm not going to be home until later, at least now every time I do that, I recognize that it's a sacrifice I'm making, but that I have to accept it and then try and make it right in the future, right? But at least being aware that there's sacrifice. I think before it was just kind of like I was trying to just do so much. Now I need to identify and say no to more things so I can really start pinpointing my focus.”

  23. “Advice I would say is earlier on identify this whole concept of amrit mentality and evaluate more regularly because there's times in my life that I regret not spending quality time with, you know, but I mean, I don't necessarily regret because he's got us where we're at today.”

  24. “Just service, like you walk into a gym, I want to be service, I want someone to help me, I want their guidance and direction, you know, think about hotels. You go to a hotel gym the four seasons. Everywhere else is like, hello, sir. How can I help you? This, that. You go to the gym. There's no one there. You just get on the elliptical and you have an aimless workout, no direction, no guidance. So from a business perspective, I want to bring service to the hotels. I want to bring service to corporate wellness where instead of people just going to the gym and wearing their headphones, now all of a sudden they're creating connections and that helps with productivity in the workplace. It creates with fostering a sense of more culture in the workplace. And then also I want to do that on the commercial side, open to the public. I want to be experts in the best at service-based fitness, right? Bringing the highest level of quality coaching combined with quality programming in a fun atmosphere. That's what we're really focused on right now.”

  26. “Lead to these oh shit moments where you wake up and you've been doing the same thing for five years, then you're unhappy, right? You need to start taking that into your own hands-on daily basis and evaluating.”

  27. “Mean reevaluating happens with big moments in your life, such as your daughter getting sick or you're getting married or you have children, you have reevaluate with the things you're going on. You used to love maybe playing video games for three hours a day. Once you have a kid, you need to reevaluate. You can't do that anymore, right? You just can't. You need to reevaluate those times. And so reevaluation happens kind of internally for me, whether I'm on the bike just kind of like, you know, thinking in my thoughts or whatever it may be, but I identify every so often when I reevaluate. But on a consistent daily basis, I try and check in with myself and try and ask myself, hey, did I do the best job today as I could to be a father, to be a husband, to be a business owner? And did I maintain my fitness? Did I do that today? And if the answer is yes, hell yeah. But if the answer is no, then there's always tomorrow, right? And I think if you do those micro goals on a daily basis, it doesn't.”

  28. “evaluate what am I trying to really focus on and how many things can I actually AMRAP so now I chose not to compete because I want to do the best I can in business then I want to switch gears and go best I can with family and then I still want to work out but I can't spend as much time on it and that's kind of the Amrat mentalities identify your focus work hard at it and switch gears and then every now and then reevaluate and get rid of some of the stuff on your plate”

  29. “I wouldn't be focused on my family or focused on what I was doing. I'd be focused on other things. There were times where I would go to dinner and I would be having dinner with my wife and I wouldn't remember anything we talked about because I would be thinking about the CrossFit competition I had coming up, right? And that was an example of me not am wrapping, not being present and focused on what I was doing. So the theory is you identify your focus, right? Whatever it may be. And for me, it's family, fitness business. Then you work hard at it, right? Whatever it may be. Then you switch gears and you do this throughout your day. And then every now and then you need to reevaluate. So I'll give you an example. For a while, I was going competing at the highest level in CrossFit, owning the business, and I had the family. Then I had more children. The business grew and the competition got harder. So I decided to switch gears and go team because I didn't have as much time to allocate to these other things. So I had to switch gears, evaluate what was really important to me, and then do that. But then when my daughter got sick, it was another time for me to re-”

  30. “So it's actually something I've been working on for a while, and I've given talks about. It's called the Amrat mentality. And to me, it's the way that, you know, I kind of live my life and I'm trying to live my life. And what the Amrit mentality really means is think about if someone said to you, hey, I want you to do as many push as you can in a minute. While you're doing them, you're just focused on that, right? You're not focused on anything else. You're just focused on the push-ups. And then when you're done with that, you move on. Right now, I'm podcasting with you. This is what I'm focused on. I'm am wrapping with you right now. We're trying to do the best we can together. But what I'm not doing is on my phone, right, and talking to you and trying to work out at the same time, right? I'm not doing that because, you know, I think nowadays I would make the argument, I don't know if we're less productive or more productive than we were 20 years ago because 20 years ago, when you're at work, you're working. When you're at home, you're at home. Now it's this huge carryover. So what I found myself doing for many years, and I had to really nip myself in the button, I still am trying to get a lot better, is”

  31. “I think it's really important to educate yourself, right? Educate yourself on disease. So, my daughter is AOL. It's a specific type of leukemia. It's a very treatable, which is awesome, right? There's a lot of them that aren't as treatable. And my heart goes out to those families. I mean, you come sit in the oncology department for a day with me and you'll just be humbled. So what I would say to them is educate yourself. We've had phenomenal health care, phenomenal, but there's been one or two times where we've had to catch the doctors because sometimes, you know, they have other things going on. But for me, there's nothing else going on. It's just this. But I need to be able to educate myself on it with all the different medications. What's going on here? What is this? What are the side effects? What should we look for? Because those things are critical, especially for us. I mean, we end up in the ER probably once every two weeks because of temperatures. But we have to be actively engaged to take the temperature. We have to be actively engaged on what the side effects are of certain medicines. I think that's the most critical.”

  32. “And even now here we are over a year later, and we still have a lot of challenging times. And it's a family that helps us get through all of it, right? Because my, for example, on Saturday, we were in Vegas. My mom and dad helped watch our children. So my wife and I could go have a night out to ourselves. And those are really important things in life that my wife and I since the beginning have always said, hey, look, we love our children, but it's me and you first for our relationships. If our relationship isn't good, then we're not going to be able to have a solid home for our children. And so we've really tried to set aside time to do date nights and do this and do that, which is really been helpful, especially during this time, because sometimes we have to have adult conversations. Like right after this, I'm going to go see a counselor because, you know, we need to get some support to help us with this situation. And my wife and I had an adult conversation about that to go see a counselor.”

We were in the hospital for five weeks, right? Lucille Packard, they've done some really great things for us. But, you know, like when you see that family around and then all of a sudden my father-in-law would be there every day. My father-in-law would just be sitting in the waiting room, right? We wouldn't call him.”

But as soon as they walk in the doors, they better be happy and they better have a smile on their face, or else they can't be let in, right? And it was kind of mentality that was just like, you know, kind of like, you know, she's just like, yeah, hell yeah, we're gonna crush this shit. And then it made me realize like, oh, yeah, we're gonna crush it. Like it was this very much so like football, like, you know, you're in the huddle and like you're in the fight of your life and it's like, no, no, we're gonna crush this thing, right? And we've had that mentality ever since. And, you know, her strength has been awesome to see from a marriage perspective, right? So that's a kind of a cool, cool thing to find out about your spouse.”

  35. “So right now she's five. She'll be six in a month. You know, it's looking back on it now, it probably we probably could have identified the shared leukemia earlier, but everything like had a reason. She had ear infection, then she had another one, then she had another one, and then the doctor's like this is the worst ear infection I've ever seen. We're like, wow, well, her immune system seems kind of suppressed. We didn't really think about it. We're just like, oh, we'll just keep getting our medicine. She has an ear infection. Then it's like, oh, my legs really hurt. I can't walk more than 100 feet without stopping. Oh, man, it must be growing pains. Let's get you a trampoline. Let's get you in a PT, all these different things. Then she started having bruising. And that's where we knew something was up. And so we went in for blood work. We called into ER. And when they told us that night that she had leukemia, he was at like 2 a.m. in the morning. And I just remember, you know, it was a very challenging time for us. And now I've had a lot of time to reflect on it. So I'm a little less, you know, you know, I used to talk about it was a lot harder now that I've reflected on a lot. It's a little bit easier to talk about. But I just remember when I told my wife, you know, she just, we went out, you know, we were, you know, I was crying and she just looks at me. She's like, hey, look, you tell our family, you know, tell our family.”

  37. “Had our first child in 2011, Ava, and then we had our second child in 2014, Caden. Ava was diagnosed with leukemia, January 21st, 2016. So about a little over a year ago. And, you know, I think when you talk about what makes a marriage successful, I think it's obviously a number of things. You have to respect each other. You have to become best friends. You need to be able to be okay with, you know, supporting each other on their journeys. But you also need to align well on difficult times. And I didn't know that until Ava got sick. You know, when you're in high school, you don't know how your wife is going to react or girlfriend is going to react to a negative situation in life. And I think what's really intriguing about what happened to us is my wife and I and my family in general has gotten a lot closer through Ava's diagnosis, primarily because she was so strong and she still is. And that's something that's really exciting for me because I take on like.”

  38. “Sure. Yeah. So my wife and I, Ashley, we started dating freshman year of high school, so 14, 15 years old, and we've been together almost ever since. What happened is we started dating for a week, two weeks actually. I thought we were in love, right? I went home. I told my mom, I'm like, mom, I found the woman I'm going to marry, right? I was all fired up. And then, of course, two weeks later, she dumps me because she said I was too nice. Well, you know, a year later, right, she knew, you know, we were meant to be together. So we ended up getting back together again a year later. We haven't been separated since, right? So that was, you know, 15, 16 years old. And so, you know, we went to college, graduated college together, did our thing, got married in 2009.”

  39. “I mean, obviously, you know, I like rolling jiu-jitsu. There's a ton of things get better at there. But for me, it's really on the business side and on the family side, right? I'm trying to be the best dad I could be, the best husband I could be. And I'm trying to support our business and run it the best way possible and treat people that way. And that's what I'm really focused on. You know, stealing a line from our cube. And it's just a support of business and I'm trying to win at that right now for myself in particular. So that's what I'm focused on. My fitness side, I'm still hitting it all the time, right? I still work out really hard, but I don't have any specific goals other than just to maintain my fitness.”

  40. “I mean, I think my workout's going to be roughly the way it is right now just basically scaled down. Meaning, you know, the demands that I have at my age with my, we all need to squat, we all need to press. We all need to lift. So whether I'm 60, 30, 50, I still want to be doing those same movements. I just might do a little bit of a less intensity, right? And even now being 31, the intensity I can bring to workout is a little bit different than when I was 25. My body's been beat up a lot by doing that. And so I just need to recognize it, listen to my body, and recover as well as I can. But the amount of volume I'm putting in isn't as much it used to be. And I assume by the time I'm 60, the amount of volume I'm putting in wouldn't be as much, but the movements would be similar.”

  41. “Now, a lot of the guys at the top don't really track all the macros. Some of them do, but not a lot of the guys. A lot of them just work hard, train hard, and just eat appropriately.”

  42. “So I never have, and I until this day, eat as much as what most people probably think I eat. But with the amount I was training, sometimes, you know, just broccoli and cauliflower weren't cutting it for the carbohydrates I needed to retain. So sweet potatoes had to be thrown in and things like that. I tried to eat real food, right? I still do. I try and eat real food and I try and avoid excess amounts of sugar and different types of things. But that doesn't mean that if my daughter wants to go out and if it's her birthday, I'm not going to eat her birthday cake. And never has meant that, right? I'm okay with that. I train because at times, I want to be able to go in and enjoy a margarita with my wife, right? And that's okay. And it always has been that same way whether I've been”

  43. “Need to just go out for a 5k on your own. That's cool. I get it. But you should start quantifying what your target numbers are and your target paces. And that's what I did with him. And that's why I was able to maintain those numbers.”

  44. “He's a local guy, right? He's here out of Palm Yeah, and he's a former Iron Man tri athlete, really successful, but he has a unique way of making running quantifiable and fun. And what I mean by that is, you know, I'll go to the track and before I just be like, oh, run 400 meters. I would just like run it aimlessly. But it felt good for him to give me a hundred meter pace goals, 200 meter pace goals, et cetera. And then those goals then turn into something I could really try and shoot for. And I think going back to the whole thing about someone going to the gym is for those people who are interested in doing running or doing types with us having a program that kind of gives you quantifiable numbers to shoot for, I believe, is a great way not only get better results, but also to keep it more fun.”

  45. “That's a great question. Henshaw is great. Years ago, I started looking at some of the results from across the games and it would be like, you know, top 10, top 10, top 10, top 10, 50th, you know, top 10, top 10. I'd be like, oh boy, I got a glaring weakness there. And so I found Chris and he really helped me out. And he made running fun for me. He made running”

  46. “Our friend Kelly has some good tools at Mobility Wad, right Yeah, Kelly Surrett. I mean, I think that there's multiple different things you could do, but ultimately you need to commit to it, right? I mean, if you have poor, you know, shoulder range motion, it's going to take you a while to develop that. And that doesn't mean you have to avoid all lifts altogether. Still do them. Just recognize you need to put in the time 20 minutes a day to develop the range of motion and mobility. And the best way to do that is by incorporating the movements, slow in control with light to little note, no weight, right? If you want to really develop a good squat, try and work on the squat up against the wall with no weight and work through the full range of motion of it.”

  47. “I think it ultimately just comes down to the coaches that are doing it, right? How do you start off make sure that people could do it right with just the PVC pipe or a light bar and then you can work your way up? But I think the difference is that whereas with the power lifts, it doesn't take as long to develop all the techniques incorporated with it, what the Olympic lifts it does. And so you need to be okay with doing the Olympic lifts early on, right? Almost from the beginning, it's okay, but you need to do them at a moderate controlled level versus the back so you can kind of push a little bit more. I mean, you could push them all, but you don't want to push the Olympic lift so much so they start developing bad habits. And the same thing applies with the back squash, just a little bit less technical. So the Olympic lists are a little bit easier to, you know, they're highly technical.”

  48. “But you also, when you program, you want to think about kind of this idea of if I'm programming a workout, I want to think about what's going to keep people moving. So you wouldn't want to do, for example, squats, lunges, jumping air squats, jumping lunges, and whatever, like a bunch of whatever. So what I'll end up happening is people will just burn out their legs and they'll just sit there and stand there until they can recover. But now if you did, you know, jumping lunges followed by pushups, they're not the same muscle groups, right? They're different functions. And so you can keep your body moving.”

  49. “The total duration of the actual AMRAP email, whatever they're doing, right? Cam wrap is as many rounds or reps as possible. And then you start talking about in the skill work, right? What is a theme for the month? Are we trying to develop someone's handstand? Are we trying to, there's a lot of things in play. It's a challenging topic to discuss briefly, but in theory, it's, hey, let's have some big macro goal, right? Maybe it's to get everybody ready for a five cats coming up. Maybe it's to get the skill of maybe we start noticing that our gym members need benefit in X. Let's create that macro goal and then during our warmups, make sure we touch base on it several times a week. Then let's have these other goals where it's like we go heavy two, three times a week, right? Then we go longer METCONs or metabolic conditioning workouts a couple times a week and we add in these short bursts, high intensity ones a couple times a week. So in skeleton, you want to think about, you want to push, you want to pull, you want to squat once a week, right? You want to incorporate the Olympic lifts as when you can. And that's kind of like the big picture stuff.”
