The Rad One

from Let's Talk About Shhh(it)!

Meet Rad! Join us as we discuss his journey from that timid little boy from the boogie down Bronx to rising fitness star leading the masses with the intention of community & connection. In my experience, it is not often you meet a leader in the fitness community who actually gets the purpose of their mission. The boutique fitness world is over saturated with privilege. That is a fact. I mean, who else can afford it (insert your favorite Bernie in gloves meme)? I often find the best leaders are people who start from the foundation of an organization or craft & work their way up through the ranks with diligence & hard work. I believe struggle often makes the best leaders. Rad started as a maintenance team member at a NYC gym & now leads a multitude of people on their fitness journeys. In my observations, I have seen a pattern when it comes to "rising to the top". With increased power, we can often see an increase in unnecessary ego & a detachment from the original mission. Rad understand the importance of human connection & individual empowerment. He also understands the importance of using your voice & platform as a mouthpiece for change. Come in & meet my guy, Radicheeeeeeeell Lopez. Mmk? Mmk! Gday. TODAY'S TRIVIA: WHAT HAPPENED IN 1991 (THE YEAR OF THE GOAT)?
