You know, rebels want to do things in an unconventional way. And so also something about inform fitness that appeals to rebels is like, Oh, everybody else is on the treadmill for 90 minutes and like they're pedaling away and doing the Stairmaster and like we know the secret way we've figured it out like we're doing it this unconventional way and everybody tells you you have to do this and we're telling you no you don't you don't have to listen to all of them because we know the like the secret arcane way to fitness and like you know, even your doctor doesn't you know, your doctors workers, they don't know what they're talking about. We figured it out.

Thanks again for joining us. I'm Tim Edwards, the founder of the inbound podcasting network and a client of inform fitness. Now, in just a minute, the founder of inform fitness himself Adam Zickerman will be joined by Sheila melody who is the co owner of the inform fitness in Toluca, Lake, California, Mike Rogers, the general manager of inform Fitness in New York City, and of course, our guest, Gretchen Rubin. Gretchen has a very popular weekly podcast titled happier with Gretchen Rubin, where she discusses good habits and happiness with their sister Elizabeth Craft. Her podcast was named in iTunes lists of best podcasts of 2015 and was also named in the Academy of podcasters best podcasts of 2016. So we're delighted to have her today. Gretchen Rubin is also the author of several books, including the blockbuster New York Times bestsellers, better than before the Happiness Project, Happier at home, and her forthcoming book to be released later this summer titled The four tendencies, learn how to understand yourself better, and also how to influence others more effectively. Now here in this episode, we will be discussing what those four tendencies are, how you can find out what your tendencies are, and how those tendencies might affect how clients of inform fitness could approach their workout. And this is pretty cool. Gretchen Rubin has been interviewed by Oprah, eaten dinner with Nobel Prize winner Daniel Kahneman, and has actually walked arm and arm with the Dalai Lama, and now is interviewed by Adam Zickerman looks like Adams in good company. Let's get to it. Here is Gretchen Rubin on the inform fitness podcast.

Adam  02:35

Gretchen, thank you so much for coming on our show. It's been a long time coming. And so, Mike, since you're the one who's working with Gretchen all these time, all these years, why don't you introduce her a little bit?

Mike  02:48

Okay, well, I just looked through our database, and I just found out that she's on her 498 session, wow. 12 years, 11 11 years, like 2005, so almost almost 12 years. She is by far our biggest refer she's consistent, except when she's on her book tour and vacation or something like that. But it's been such a pleasure to have Gretchen as a client here. She's become a great friend. Her husband works out here her father in law, her mother in law, her children. So we're very, very grateful to have you as a client and a friend and and to have you on the podcast as well.
