Training Side by Side: A Story I Didn’t See Coming

11/20/2025

After a week of cheese, curds, and long drives, I always carve out time for something that resets me—training at Metroflex Minnesota. It’s been part of my rhythm for over a decade. No frills, no fluff—just iron, intensity, and focus.

I first walked into Metroflex because of the name. Ronnie Coleman trained at the original in Texas, and that legacy caught my attention. But what kept me coming back was the atmosphere. It’s raw, it’s real, and it’s built for people who train with purpose.

After a full day of meetings, dealer visits, and client conversations, Metroflex is where I decompress. It’s the place I go to clear my head, reset my focus, and get back to center. That routine doesn’t just help me physically—it sharpens how I show up for my customers. Staying disciplined in the gym keeps me grounded in business. It’s about consistency, energy, and showing up with clarity and drive.

A Moment That Stuck

In 2022… I learned I had a son I never knew about. Yeah—you read that right. And that year, I met my 22-year-old son, Jimmy.
As we started getting to know each other, I found out he loves to train—just like me. That shared passion gave us something solid to build on. I introduced him to Metroflex, and now it’s part of our rhythm. When I’m in town, we hit the gym together. It’s not just about the reps—it’s about the connection. Watching him push through sets in the same space that shaped me? That’s something I’ll never forget.

Metroflex isn’t just a gym—it’s a mindset. And that’s what Lift Logic is all about: the places, habits, and values that keep us strong—on the road, in business, and in life. Whether I’m building cheese programs or building muscle, I’m always chasing better. And Metroflex helps me do that.
More to come on this place. I’ll be sharing some of my favorite equipment, how I structure my lifts, and why this gym continues to shape the way I train—physically and mentally.
