In this episode of The Anthony Amen Show, I sit down with Devon, our Fitness Manager at Redefine Fitness, to walk through his journey from numbness and depression to becoming one of the strongest leaders in our Stony Brook and Mount Sinai studios. His story is proof that who you become is the result of the traits you put into practice every day. Devo...

In this episode of The Anthony Amen Show, I sit down with Rick, one of our coaches at Redefine Fitness, to talk through a story that starts with state titles and Friday night lights—and turns into a sudden crash of torn shoulders, a damaged spine, and the heartbreaking discovery of his father’s early dementia.

Send us a text What if demolition is the point—the chaos before the craft? In this episode of The Anthony Amen Show, I sit down with one of our coaches at Redefine Fitness whose path went from pizza ovens to construction sites to the gym floor. What looked like a messy résumé turned out to be the foundation of his purpose. Carpentry taught him a lesson that now shapes his coaching: swing the hammer, clear the debris, then slow down and get precise. That arc mirrors real transformation—move fi...
Send us a text A rough childhood, relentless bullying, and a quiet kid who found her voice under stage lights—that’s Olivia.

You’re not alone—and in this episode of The Anthony Amen Show, I strip it down to the fundamentals so you can finally understand how your body actually burns calories. No trends. No gimmicks.
