How to Be A Swiss Army Knife with Andrew Eaton
Manage episode 411532048 series 2644414
This EP features Andrew Eaton. Andrew is a teacher, who integrates traditional strength training, mindset coaching, and brain-based physical training. He found his way to weight training as a response to being bullied in middle school. The lessons learned there laid the foundation for an entire career.
After college, he was certain that a radio career was the next step in his journey, but he found himself instead writing and editing a periodical for back-care professionals. Then, ten words on a flyer at the gym changed his trajectory - advertising the first personal training certification course on the East Coast.
Shortly after completing that course, a chance encounter while visiting family found him relocating halfway across the US to take a ground-floor position in the facility the Chicago Bulls called home. Once there, like many 'fitness nerds,' he set out to learn as much as possible, wanting to become something of a fitness Swiss Army knife. He also met his wife and her son, and they had two children together.
Over the following ten years, he left the club and started Eaton Sports and Fitness, designed to support athletes on their path toward performance. The last decade has included certifications in nutrition, mindset, and most recently, the revelation that he'd been missing a significant piece of his education.
Andrew lives in Illinois with his daughter, Kate, and his grand-dog, Fiona.
