Episode #99 - Going Through Hell To Become Much Stronger: An Interview With Brock Waluk

Imagine growing up in a stable household, being able to get good grades, move on to have a successful career, and have a loving family. For many of us, this was (and is) possibly the life that evolved for us. However, what would happen if something shifted in the series of events that would change not just the plans you have set out for yourself, but the course of your entire mission on this Earth forever? Today's guest, Brock Waluk, shares his very open story about being thrown off course, surrounding himself with new positive influences, and creating the Next Generation Personal Training brand to help empower not only his clients, but his impressive team, to regain their lives. Oftentimes, we have to step through unbelievable amounts of self-doubt and give "pep talks" to ourselves in order to carry through on our promises and aspirations of what we want to envision becoming a reality, but the short-term disciplines that distance us from the disruptors can certainly make us stronger (& wiser) for all that we set out to accomplish, even if it just for getting through leg day at the gym.Guest BioBrock grew up in the small town of Wyalusing, PA, and resides in Mechanicsburg, PA currently. He grew up a good kid but had a rebellious stint after graduating high school, where he ended up being arrested and in jail a few times, but learned a lot in the process of making poor life choices. He was the first to attend a higher education university (Lock Haven) in his family. He studied sports medicine/athletic training and was married at 23 years old, then divorced at 30 years old, where during that marriage, his amazing 8 year son Justus was born. He remarried in 2022 at 37 years old to his beautiful wife Courtney, who does social media for a few local companies, including his business, Next Generation Personal Training. He started Next Generation Personal Training in 2015 and has been training for a total of 16 years. In 2022, he partnered with Ark Fitness, opening in August of 2022, growing from 2 trainers to 12 trainers, and from 70 clients to almost 300.Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/nextgenerationpt2525@brockwaluk_ngpt on InstagramWebsite: https://www.arkfitclub.com/personal-trainingVisit Our Website: https://speaking-from-the-heart.captivate.fm/Visit Our Business Website: https://www.yourspeakingvoice.bizSupport The Mission Of The Business!
