Description
In this episode I chat with trainer, coach and entreprenuer Chris Albert. In 2013, Chris Albert found himself at a crossroads in his life. Over the last decade, Chris had left his military service in the Marine Corps and wasted years with alcoholism, drug use, and chasing things that were not helping him advance his life.
After sobering up, Chris decided that he was no longer going to waste time. He devoted his life to fitness and became a well known trainer and coach, eventually opening Metroflex Gym in Long Beach, California. But with little business experience and a debilitating illness lying just under the surface, Chris's battles were just beginning.
In 2012, Chris began getting severe flare ups of Ulcerative Colitis. The disease left him weak after he began losing blood through his intestinal tract and he soon got to the point that he could no longer train one on one clients. Without a way of making income, Chris soon had to sell his shares of the gym and he found himself living out of his car with just the clothes on his back, his dog, and a computer that a friend had given him.
With no other options left, Chris began making YouTube videos about fitness. His message resonated with viewers around the world and soon people from as far as Australia and Europe were contacting him to see if he could be their online trainer. Chris moved from his car and into a rented room and began growing his business. At the same time, Chris began researching everything he could to bring his ulcerative colitis into remission and successfully did this after implementing a holistic nutrition protocol based on an anti inflammatory diet. Amazed at his fortune, Chris began looking at where he wanted to dedicate his life and he began hearing about some of the battles that his brothers and sisters in arms in the veteran community were facing.
Chris used the money he amassed from his training business to bootstrap Warrior Soul Fitness, a company dedicated to inspiring veterans to live their best lives. It began with clothing that would inspire a sense of pride amongst those who served, but his focus quickly moved to creating content that could help all veterans whether they bought Warrior Soul products or not. Through the Warrior Soul Podcast, the Warrior Soul Blog, and Chris Albert Fitness, Chris has reached hundreds of thousands of people in and out of the veteran community and helped them with topics such as mental health, fitness, wellness, relationships, and entrepreneurship.
