E44: Reclaiming Your Athletic Potential at Any Age at Marietta Performance Training
Manage episode 477992504 series 3644711
Aging doesn't have to mean giving up the activities you love. That's the powerful message from Nyles Stewart, founder of Marietta Performance Training, who joins us to discuss his mission of bridging the fitness gap for active adults who notice they're "not quite the same" as they once were.
Nyles shares his journey from athlete to fitness entrepreneur, describing how he built his business from scratch through early-morning free training sessions in parking lots and parks. What began on Craigslist has evolved into a thriving fitness practice serving both everyday adults and competitive athletes, including several national champions. His approach focuses specifically on restoring the strength, power, endurance, and core control that naturally diminish with age.
One of the most valuable insights Nyles offers is challenging the widespread myth of "instantaneous results" in fitness. Drawing parallels between physical conditioning and other life aspirations, he emphasizes that meaningful transformation requires consistent effort over time: "These things don't just happen overnight. As you stay consistent, the results start to multiply." This philosophy served him well during the pandemic, when many fitness businesses collapsed while his relationship-based approach endured.
Whether you're looking to get back into tennis, enjoy hiking without pain, or simply move better in daily life, Nyles' straightforward guarantee is compelling: "As long as you do what I ask you to do, you're going to get results."
