Culture Chat Episode: 64


Today I chat with strength and conditioning expert, Brett Jones. Brett holds degrees in Sports Medicine and Rehabilitative sciences in addition to his fitness certifications (CSCS, NSCA). He also teaches Functional Movement Systems (FMS), and kettlebells as the Director of Education for StrongFirst.  I enjoyed my chat with him on the trends in strength training but really enjoyed getting to know more about his journey through the industry and how it led him to be one of the most sought-after resources in fitness education.
