Running Fitness Dude - John Gaset

In college, I operated a personal training business. Health and fitness was my passion, but I thought I needed to pursue a “real career”. I gave up my personal training clients to focus full time on law school, and over the next decade enjoyed what most would consider a successful legal career. In the beginning of my legal career, I prioritized school and work. My health and fitness took somewhat of a backseat. I sat at a desk all day and stopped running almost entirely.

After a few years though, I decided to refocus on my health. I started running again, ate better, and became more consistent and intentional in the gym. The comeback wasn’t as easy as I thought it would be. I wasn’t 20-something anymore, plus years of inactivity had wreaked havoc on my body. I kept getting injured because I was trying to jump back into the same routines and movement patterns I did when I was in college. I stayed consistent, focused on the right types of exercises, studied and continued learning about sports science. Eventually, I got myself into good enough shape to run my first marathon. Through this process, I realized just how much I missed my career in fitness.

In 2021, after my dad lost his battle with cancer, I finally decided to take a leap of faith. I resigned from my position as a partner at a national law firm and jumped back into a career in health and fitness. Since then, I’ve grown a social media community of over 100,000 strong.

My dad’s passing was the ultimate reminder that our time is limited and we need to enjoy it while it lasts. And I sincerely believe that we get the most out of life by being active, healthy, and in forward motion.

My goal is help everyone achieve their goals and lead healthy, active, and complete lives. This app is part of that goal.
