Hard times come and go. Good times take them slow.
Hi. Is
it Maisie?
Maisie, like the department store. Oh, love it.
Maisie, like the department store. And when people fuck it up, what do they most regularly say?
Maisie, which honestly, I don't really even notice the difference. I get a lot of Massey. Oh, no.
Yeah, whatever.
Monica, happy birthday. Oh, good job. Thank you. You're a
hardcore armchair-y.
I'm so excited to be here. Thank you. We're excited to
have you. Now, when you were getting ready this morning, you have a very fun orange, like, let's celebrate,
let's be positive.
Was that in the mix today? You're like, I'm in a good mood.
Yes. And I knew that Monica is a fashionista. So I was like, what are my colors? How do I come off as my best self? Wow. You're really doing it. It's a great color. Thank you.
Where are you?
I am in a place that you were recently visiting, Dax.
So Denver or Birmingham?
I'm in Denver.
You're in Denver. Okay. Are you from there or did you move there?
I have moved around a lot, but I spent most of my childhood in the Denver area. And I actually went to your guys' Denver show when Monica was a guest.
Oh, my goodness. Wow, I forgot. That was a long time ago. Lots changed. I've gotten much older. I
was reflecting on that while I was in Denver. I was like, oh, the last time I was here, we did that show.
Wow, fun.
Fun, fun, fun.
It was very fun. I had a great time. Okay,
so you have a crazy gym story.
I do. I work full-time in communications and PR, but my like passion job is I coach group fitness classes on the side. So like 5 a.m., 6 p.m., coaching classes. I've done this for a long time. I've taught just about everything that is available, but right now I really just teach like HIIT and strength training, but I've taught spin, anything you can think of.
Have you seen an explosion in females entering the weight training space? I feel like there's a good and positive movement towards that.
Yes, and
I
love it. Bone density. Do you do privates? I have in the past. Let's do it. I'm not ruling
this
out. I love it because, you know, you get to see people at all different stages of life. Like we have women lifting their entire pregnancies or coming back from back surgery. In my free time, I like to try different gyms and like go take classes at other places where I can be anonymous. No one knows me. Just show up. have a good workout and also learn from other trainers, see what they're doing, what works, what doesn't. So this story takes place in 2021. In that time, it's hard to remember because it feels like forever ago, we were still doing group fitness classes in COVID facial. mask. I was teaching spin at the time so I got these really nice Under Armour branded masks that were athletic material so they soak up the sweat better and then they were kind of like shaped so they didn't collapse into your mouth when you're like running around and breathing really hard.
So I was no stranger to working out in masks is the moral of the story before I tell you what went down. I'd heard about this gym that was like in my neighborhood and the really cool thing was I They offered altitude training. So in one of the rooms, they changed the oxygen level so that it simulates you training at high
elevation. Oh, this feels dangerous.
Like if
this machine goes awry and everyone just slowly dies in there
because there's no
oxygen.
Oh, my God. Like final destination. Thankfully, that didn't happen, but it is a
little
risky. You're also already at altitude now. Or this didn't take place in Denver?
No. No, it was. But we all like to be extreme.
You want to be a base camp for K2.
Yeah. So they offered that workout and it's mostly strength training in that room. And then they offer another class, treadmills, a little bit more like HIIT style cardio and lifting. That morning I taught two spin classes, 6 and 7 a.m.
