Season 1, Episode 6 - Jeff Jeran

Jeff Jeran is the Chair of the Board of Directors of the Medical Fitness Association for a reason – he is an ALL-STAR in this space.  Jeff has opened SIX successful, award-winning medical fitness facilities over the past 18 years, which are a testimony to his amazing ability to build fitness centers which cater to the 80% of the population that don’t use traditional gyms and health clubs, and who prefer to train in a safe environment.  It is also a testimony to his ability to successfully collaborate with clinicians across a wide spectrum of care, and create models where clinicians refer to fitness professionals.In our awesome discussion, Jeff talks about his windy path to success, which is something I always find intriguing – it’s so interesting to listen to successful people talk about how they got to their point of success. • He also talks about what makes the Medical Fitness Association great and unique, which includes their desire to SHARE best practices and collaborate as an organization - something that all organizations should learn from and mirror,• The Medical Fitness Association’s desire to collaborate with the National Strength and Conditioning Association,• Strength coaches working with patients in clinical settings,• Valley Health’s provider-referral program and “medical integration services” – unique models which should serve as a prototype in the industry,• How fitness professionals can connect and collaborate with clinicians – how to be successfully proactive,• And the importance of “cradle to grave” fitness.It’s always worth your time to learn from the best, so I hope you enjoy our conversation!Support the show
