On today’s episode we sat down with one of the strongest individuals on the planet, JL Holdsworth, Owner of The Spot Athletics in Columbus and Dublin Ohio. JL’s name may sounds familiar since he is part of Westside Barbell royalty with some staggering lifts in his lifetime. Now, his focus is solely on creating the best experience possible at his gyms.
We talk about his journey in fitness and how it has shaped him into the person he is today. Holdsworth’s view of movement has changed a lot over the years and its important to take in that perspective to make the most for the people we interact with every single day.
