The Elite Pod

Jake broke his foot, but not his fitness habit

In this episode, Jake explains how he broke his foot but did not stop his fitness journey here at Elite. This is a super motivating episode, or perseverance, and grit. If you are dealing with an injury, you don't have to stop working-out, you just have to work out around it. If you need help with that then contact us asap, and we will guide you through it.

Real Talk on Our Training Program From A Real Client

Everyone wants to know: Does the new Elite Fitness programming actually deliver? In this episode, I’m joined by Bobby Flores, who called me up to give an unfiltered update on his progress. We dive deep into how the new structure is feeling, the changes he’s seeing in his strength and recovery, and why this shift is a game-changer for anyone serious about muscle gain and bone density. If you’ve been curious about the "why" behind our new methods, this is the episode for you.

Joaquin Goes on Air: My iHeartRadio Interview 🎙️✨ It’s not every day you get to step out of the gym and into the broadcast studio! In this special episode, I’m sharing an interview I did with the team at iHeartRadio. It was an incredible experience getting to pull back the curtain on the "why" behind Elite Fitness Downtown. A special Thank You to Kiana for inviting me. We dive deep into: * The Origin Story: How I went from a trainer at the big corporate gyms to building a specialized home for personal training in Santa Ana. * The "Engine" Philosophy: Why we focus on starting the "car" (your body) before we worry about the high-performance fuel (nutrition). * The Weight Trap: Why I believe the number on the scale is the #1 reason people quit, and what we track instead to ensure our members are winning every single week. * Guided Success: Why a piece of equipment is just a "clothes hanger" without the right coaching and community to back it up. If you’ve ever wondered about my personal view on fitness—and why we treat our members like athletes regardless of their age or injury history—this is the conversation for you.

Mindset Story with Robert "Bobby" Flores - Part 2

Welcome back for part two of Bobby's mindset story! Joaquin and Bobby sit down and talk about his story after beating cancer and his journey with Elite Fitness!  #Fuckcancer by Robert Flores is a raw, graphic, and occasionally funny first-hand account of how Robert beat stage four cancer. Robert's blog of his daily cancer treatments was turned into a book to help spread awareness to the male, Latino community of colorectal cancer. Men rarely speak of very personal events in their life. Robert lifts the veil to help anyone that faces cancer treatment. We are giving away a copy of Bobby's book!
