Breaking Limiting Self-Beliefs with Coach Luke

Coach Luke shares his PPS story and describes how he used his passion for strength-training to learn how to cope with A.D.D. (Attention Deficit Disorder)

After failing his first year at University due to his learning difficulties, he was eventually able to use what he had learned in the gym to learn how to enhance his focus and attention. Although he had told himself he was a failure and was never going to be good in the classroom, he was able to go back to University and finish at the top of the class after breaking his own limiting self-beliefs.

Emptying The Trash with Hemi Chase

We get deep and peel the back the layers on Coach Hemi Chase.

Big and tough on the outside but with a nice soft interior - he proves that not all Personal-Trainers are 'muscly meat-heads' with no depth.

We discuss his background; growing up in a small NZL town of 500 people and being taught not to express his emotions or show softness like many young Maori growing up in New Zealand.

He's now an advocate for Men's mental and emotional health and wants to break those old stigmas that Men have to be 'Staunch', teaching others it's ok to talk and let it all out.

Hemi learned the power of helping others from a young age when he would take bullied kids under his wing and he continues to help others through Coaching and an exciting new project he has coming up called "Hiking Deep".

This episode will help you learn a lot about yourself and what it takes to break your own limiting self-beliefs.

Stronger Than This

After joining PPS to meet new people and 'build a booty' Chantelle was only 7-months into her training when disaster struck.

At only 28 years old; A blood clot (DVT) had formed in her leg and she was unknowingly going about ger normal business for over a week, while operating on only one lung. She collapsed in the shower when her body finally had enough. After being rushed to the hospital, she was put in an induced coma and went through open heart surgey to remove 27 blood clots from her lungs.

That's just the beginning of this amazing story. What's most inspiring is what Chantelle achieved in the first 12-months since surviving this trauma.

"Stronger Than This" is the quote she used to drive her to recover faster than expected, return to the gym faster than she was told to and achieve more than anyone expected. She wasn’t on a mission just to heal and get back to where she was - she was on a mission to be better and prove that nothing can stop her.
