Welcome to the Two Fit Crazies and a Microphone Podcast, a show that Brian now feels he can cut the recording on Christine if he does not like her introductory remarks. Aside from a small on-air tiff between the two crazies, today’s episode is “off the hook!” Joining the show from Long Island, Gail Bannister-Munn, Long Island fitness legend, educator, creator of the Bannister Method and the Long Island Fitness Network Group, and flexibility specialist for professional athletes, talks about how she was able to build a strong network and reputation in the fitness industry. Gail also discusses what it was like to be raised by an Indian mother and English father who believed that paying it forward was a way of life. And if you were wondering, Gail was an exceptionally talented runner in her day who just happens to hail from a some very decorated Bannisters, including distant uncle Sir Roger, the first man to run a mile in under 4 minutes and one super-fast nephew, Olympic Gold medalist Matthew Centrowitz Jr.

From training the JETS to being flown around-the-country to work with top NBA players, Gail has made quite a name for herself as a flexibility specialist. I guarantee you will have a few laughs listening to Gail share some of her crazy stories of working with pro-athletes and beyond!

In Episode 186, the Two Fit Crazies welcome THE Peter Twist, who is joining the show from his home in beautiful Vancouver, Canada. If you have yet to hear of the amazing Peter Twist, you are in for a HUGE treat! Peter, or Coach Twist, shares his story of growing up in Canada, falling in love with team sports at an early age, and becoming the very first strength and conditioning coach for the NHL. From hockey, to baseball, to tennis, to football, to mountain biking, to skiing, to ocean kayaking, to trail running, Peter was always fascinated with movement. However, after attaining a master’s degree in coaching science, he soon realized that he didn’t want to be a head coach of a sports team, but that he wanted to be a strength and conditioning coach to mold athletes through developing their speed, agility, strength, balance, flexibility and more. Peter was a visionary when it came to understanding the importance of plyometrics and functional exercise to improve the “whole” athlete. Peter discusses the process of turning his dreams into a reality through his determination and mindset practices that not only landed him the job as the first NHL strength and conditioning coach, but also a “cancer crusher.” It is no wonder that Peter Twist is a highly coveted world-renowned speaker whose resilience and passion for changing lives is unparalleled. Be on the lookout for Peter Twist’s upcoming books and continuing education courses! He may just convince you to “get out of your own mind and into your heart….and that the best form of wealth is being enriched.”

This husband and wife team reveal how they went from teaching aerobics classes to owning over 65 Planet Fitness clubs (with 12 more in the pipeline), founding Brick Bodies Gyms across Maryland, to winning developer of the year multiple times and more! Victor and Lynne dish out tons of awesome advice learned in their 30+ years in the fitness industry! Although life wasn’t always smooth sailing for the Bricks, Victor and Lynne discuss the importance of having a “family first” attitude and how you will “change the size of your dream” as life unfolds.

In addition, Victor and Lynne speak about why they felt so compelled to create the John W. Brick Mental Health Foundation, a non-profit foundation that funds and promotes evidence-based research of holistic approaches to improve mental health. Named after Victor’s brother, who ultimately died from the drugs he was prescribed to control his schizophrenia, Victor and Lynne are on a mission to increase research and prove that holistic approaches can improve mental health!

Rugby New Jersey - President KJ Fuery and Vice President Terry Matthews - Episode 108

Two Fit Crazies & A Microphone 

Episode 108 - President KJ Fuery & Vice President Terry Matthews of Rugby New Jersey 

  “...work together...work on yourself first”   

“What can I do as a player to make my team better...my teammates better...make everything better?”   

“Rugby is the fastest growing team sport in the country.”     

Rugby New Jersey - Mission Statement: The goals of Rugby New Jersey are to promote, develop, support and increase the number of youth and High School rugby players in the State of New Jersey via a professionally run centralized administration structure.

In Episode 108, the Two Fit Crazies have a fantastic conversation with KJ Fuery and Terry Matthews, two amazingly passionate advocates for the sport of Rugby! Under the auspices of USA RUGBY, they are spearheading RUGBY New Jersey youth programs across the state. As the fastest growing team sport in the country, Rugby is not the rough, contact sport that is only for extreme athletes that people have been misled to believe. Terry and KJ talk about the ethos of Rugby and the awesome benefits that youth Rugby programs bring to not only kids, but also their parents. KJ and Terry discuss the emphasis that Rugby places on player accountability, the commitment that is expected both on and off the field, and the responsibility to values and character above all else. Did you know that all youth Rugby leagues, whether flag or contact, consist of a post-game meal provided by the home team so that players, parents, and coaches from both teams learn and practice respect for one another? KJ and Terry are out to make a difference in the lives of children across the state of New Jersey and beyond through the sport of Rugby! Reach out to them if you are interested in bringing Rugby to your community!
