In this episode, I interview Jonathan Chant, R.Kin - President of Fitness for Freedom and Founder of Fortis Forma. Shortly after graduating from the University of Ottawa he began his company Fitness for Freedom, a mobile Kinesiology company. Jonathan operates under the following principles: to care, be honest and treat people the same way he would like to be treated. His goal is to raise the bar for the entire fitness industry by focusing on developing the required habits to live a healthy lifestyle, not just exercise.
In this episode, Jonathan tells us how what calculation he made that pushed him to start Fitness For Freedom, How his R.Kin designation has helped him a long the way and how to find ways to stand out in a crowded space as a new Kin.
