What makes Gunnar Peterson a legendary trainer?
I've listened to all of your episodes on here. You guys bleep it out. Oh, I didn't realize we bleeped like... Beep, beep, beep, beep. Yeah, okay. Well, I didn't realize that. You're not selling fitness. I tell trainers that all the time. You're not selling fitness. You're selling energy. I'm 150 years old, and I worked out this morning, and I was giddy because I had a great workout, and I think as a trainer, you should do that for the people's exercise you program. What do the one percenters do? Especially in LA, especially in Hollywood. The people that you're saying, well, if I had what they had, I would do what they did. You wouldn't. Oh, what else is she doing? She's got all day to work out. No, she doesn't have all day to work out. What's the hack? The hack is hard work, dude. That's the hack. Yeah. Your mom would walk into my gym without looking, without taking inventory of who was there.
She would go, may I do my Kris Jenner impression? Yes. Good morning, mother. walk through the gym and that's how she lit it up every day and i love it because that matches the energy i have and i love having somebody in there with that so gunner peterson right here I have known Gunnar, I want to say I was a teenager, like 13, 14 years old. 14. That's what I think too. So Gunnar has been training basically every family member, from my sisters to my mom, and we've known you forever. And you, I don't know if people know this about you, but you are a very... serious you get like your job you're committed to your job you are one of the biggest pranksters you have the craziest wildest mouth I keep that under wraps not anymore but um yeah you have the darkest sense of humor which is why I love you it is but yeah people I don't think realize that side of you like you're so professional and you know exactly what you're doing but you will fuck it up with the rest of them
You have to. Yeah. I think you have to. It's funny. People go, how do you motivate people? I go, you don't motivate them. You insult them and you shame them. But that's also like on their time behind closed doors, never on camera. And you just keep it under wraps. Well, and I think also... By the way, P.S., one of the reasons and the person I knew first in your clan was your mom. Yeah. Who has a super dark... Yes. Nasty side trick. Your mom would walk into my gym at 5.30. On the dot. Yeah. And as she walked through the gym without looking, without taking inventory of who was there, she would go, may I do my Kris Jenner impression? Yes. Good morning, motherfuckers. She just walked through the gym. It didn't matter who was there. And that's how she lit it up every day. And I love it because that matches the energy I have. And I love having somebody in there with that.
You have been, I mean, I remember my mom being at that gym, the one in off tower, right? And I would have to sit with her while she would work out and I would do homework and she would, I would see her like kick ass and yeah, what she would do in the gym. And I really think that also, like I like working out and having my kids in the gym with me, not constantly. for like a weight loss like it's not that it's about just showing them to be active and I used to sit with my mom at Tybo and all the other shit like it's good for that sets the tone and then when they're introduced to it at whatever time in their lives they they're not intimidated because they're like yeah I've been around this I've seen it it doesn't get weird for them right yeah whether they do it or not it's another thing right but
How do energy and mindset influence fitness training?
the intimidation part is interesting so when I I've obviously known you since I was younger but then during my marriage I started really working out when I was going through my divorce and I remember that's when I started to need those workouts and but not even like going to your gym was such a safe haven for so many people and yes you taught no cameras that's what people don't get there's no people go what about theft don't you worry I go I don't worry about that there are no cameras in the gym
