In this podcast episode I am talking to Ryan Hurst of GoldMedalBodies.com.  Ryan and the Gold Medal Bodies crew combine gymnastics skills with fitness training to create fun and effective programs.  I had a blast with this interview (despite my microphone causing some technical difficulties) so be sure to check it out!

Listen and hear Ryan and I discuss:
