The Great Steve Maxwell EP: 16

6/24/2014

 
This episode is brought to you by…Nature Box. To help us keep this podcast going, please eat snacks!  

Now, on to our guest… Steve Maxwell

You asked for him as a guest, so here he is, Maniacs! We had a blast, and I learned a TON.

Steve has created 10 bestselling DVDs, including Steve Maxwell: The Road Warrior. Steve is an American fitness coach, physical educator, and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu instructor. Maxwell was named one of the top 100 trainers in the USA by Men's Journal.

Besides all of that, he’s built some highly clever and super-functional training methods and is an all-around hilarious guy.  Steve is one of Joe Rogan’s "go to" trainers and his thinking can be applied in nearly all aspects of training, fitness, and lifestyle.

In this episode, we discuss life, maximizing your body and spirit (and common mistakes), and generally answer these questions:

  • How did he become a powerhouse in the fitness community? How does he consistently create amazing movements and concepts?
  • How he overcame the toughest movements, blocks and other pitfalls in his life
  • What are Steve’s thought on Joe Rogan?
  • How did Steve become a master trainer, and how can you?
  • What are some of Steve's evaluation processes?
  • Visualization, Meditation, and who inspirers Steve Maxwell
  • Sex, Drugs, Gum, Supplements, Crunches, Shoes... 
  • Why Crossfit isn't the best, or even a good method of training
  • Some important lessons Steve's learned during his life
  • What’s in Steve Maxwell's bag???
  • What’s next for Steve Maxwell???

Whenever you have a second, please leave me an honest rating and review on iTunes by clicking here. It will help the show tremendously, including my ability to bring on more incredible guests to answer all of your questions!  This show has had nearly 10,000 downloads…but only 25 or so reviews! If you’re listening, please leave a short one here. I appreciate the inside jokes about singing but new listeners are not privy to the joke so it makes me laugh, but I need feedback for them as well.  Thanks guys, I appreciate each and every one of you, and I'm excited to see where we can take this podcast project!

Show notes and links (e.g. books mentioned, additional resources) can be found below.

Steve is a close friend of the Rogan Army, and this is one of my favorite conversations. Please ping him on Twitter (@stevemaxwellsc) to let him know what you thought!

    Background

    For the past 17 years I've made my career out of designing and teaching group fitness kickboxing classes.  Many of my classes consist of up to 100 people, who range in fitness levels from beginner to advanced-- all in the same class. Obviously this exposed some challenges and hurdles that I needed to overcome in order to keep my classes at the highest quality possible.  
    Using my classes as my "laboratory", I've successfully implemented a series of techniques that I use to motivate my clients to achieve their fitness goals.  It is my belief that health and fitness is far more mental than physical, and by unlocking certain aspects of the mind in a group setting, I've seen some absolutely amazing transformations!  
    Now, over 10,000 classes later, my passion has turned to researching and studying human psychology and how it relates to motivation, learning, willpower, and self-improvement.  Each guest featured on my podcast has impacted me at some point in my quest for understanding, and I hope that by bringing all these masters together, we can benefit from the collective knowledge and make the world a better place to live.
