The Motivation Lie

In this episode, we talk with Saevar Thordarson, owner of Heritage Coffee in Solon.   Born in Iceland, he talks about his life as a child and how he instills the value of family not only into the Heritage brand but with his family here in Solon as well.  We also delve into what makes good coffee good and how important it is for both Heritage and Iron-Oak Fitness to support our local community.

As a fitness coach, one of the things I hear most often is, "I just don't have the motivation." We all say it, I'm guilty as well.  But what we really need is more drive and commitment, not motivation.  Motivation lasts for minutes.  Drive keeps us taking action to achieve our goals. In this episode, we discuss the difference between motivation and drive, as well as some tools that may help you keep pushing toward your goals.   If you'd like to join Iron-Oak Fitness in our "Change for 2021" challenge, the registration link is below.   We'll focus on... habit stacking/scheduling nutrition gratitude and self-gratitude journaling fitness and some other stuff Iron-Oak Members can register for free using code "MEMBER."  For all others, the cost is $15.  Once registering, you'll receive an invite our private FB group that we'll utilize for this 12-week challenge.

In this first episode of #sweatnolon, we interview member Julie Merker.  Julie discusses her passion for helping others, how COVID has affected her family, and discusses her experience at Iron-Oak Fitness going from a CrossFit affiliate to its own path being unaffiliated.
