John Hazdovac: Fitness Approaches for Life, Cultivating Positive Gym Culture & More

In this episode of the Brawn Body Health and Fitness
Podcast, Dan is joined by John Hazdovac, founder of Chuckwalla
Fitness in Phoenix, AZ to discuss the experience at Chuckwalla
Fitness, which includes a fitness-for-life approach to training,
positive gym culture/environment, and so much
more! 


Everything began for John at the young age of 6 years old, when
he joined his first gymnastics class. From there, John became
hooked and continued competitively until he was 17. It was by
that time in his senior year of high school that he decided to
play football (interestingly enough, a lifelong dream). John
barely made the team and got very little playing time. Yet, after
graduation John decided that he had just enough toughness and
grit, given his small size & inexperience to play in college.
So, John trained like crazy...And after a ton of hard work, he
ended up playing 4 years of college football...a dream he never
thought possible! One year John was even voted, “Most Valuable
Defensive Back.” John attribute all of it to his training in the
gym from such a young age. It wasn’t just physical training but
the mental training as well that helped me achieve such athletic
success. Since then, John has DEDICATED his LIFE to FITNESS...in
competition and in helping others in achieving ANY of their
fitness goals, whatever they may be.


Currently (as of Nov. 2021), John competes in CrossFit and
Olympic  Weightlifting. In 2019 he made the podium at
Weightlifting  Nationals in Salt Lake City, Utah taking home
a silver medal. Since  then, John has continued to rank in
the top 0.2% worldwide in the CrossFit Games qualifier events
every year. More recently, John took 1st place at Arizona Masters
State Championship (October 2021) and also placed 6th worldwide,
in The Legends Masters CrossFit Qualifier securing his spot to
compete at the main event in San Diego, CA, December 2021.
 At the same time, John and his wife have owned and operated
a successful gym (Chuckwalla Fitness) for the past 6 years where
we continue to build up our community and get results for
clients
