Training Angelina Jolie, Stallone & Kardashians ft. Gunnar Peterson | Khloé In Wonder Land Ep. 12

[Music]. G I've listened to all of your episodes. on here you guys bleep it out oh I. didn't realize we bleeped. like beep beep be okay well I didn't. realize that you're not selling Fitness. I tell trainers that all the time you're. not selling Fitness you're selling. energy I'm 150 years old and I worked. out this morning and I was I was giddy. because I had a great workout and I. think as a trainer you should do that.

for the people's exercise you program. what do the 1centers do especially in La. especially in Hollywood the people that. you're saying well if I had what they. had I would do what they did you. wouldn't oh what else is she doing she's. got all day to workout no she doesn't. have all day to workout what's the hack. the hack is hard work d That's the hack. yeah your mom would walk into my gym. without looking without taking inventory. of who was there she would go may I do. my Chris Jan impression yes good morning. mother she just walked the gym and.

that's how she lit it up every day and I. love it cuz that matches the energy I. have and I love having somebody in there. with. [Music]. that so gunar Peterson right here I have. known. gunar I want to say I was a teenager. like 13 14 14 years old I think 14 yeah.

14 that's what I think too so gunar has. been training basically every family. member my from my sisters to my mom and. we've known you. forever and you I don't know if people. know this about you but you are a. very serious you get like your job. you're committed to your job but you are. one of the biggest pranksters you have. the craziest wildest mouth I keep that. under R not anymore but um yeah you have.

the darkest sense of humor which is why. I love you it is but yeah people I don't. think realize that side of you like. you're so professional and you know. exactly what you're doing but you will. it up with the rest of them you have to. yeah I think you have to it's funny. people go how do you motivate people I. go you don't motivate him me insult them. and you shame them but that's also like. on their time behind closed doors never. on camera and you just keep it under.

wraps well and I think also by the way. PS one of the reasons and the person I. knew first in your clan was your mom. yeah who has a. super dark yes nasty side your mom would. walk into my gym at 5:30 on the dot yeah. and as she walked through the gym. without looking without taking inventory. of who was there she would go may I do. my Chris Jenner impression yes good. morning mother.

she just walked through the gym it. didn't matter who was there and that's. how she lit it up every day and I I love. it cuz that matches the energy I have. and I love having somebody in there with. that you have been I mean I remember my. mom being at that gym the one in off. Tower right off Tower and I would have. to sit with her while she would work out. and I would do homework and she would I. would see her like kick ass and Beast. yeah what she would do in the gym and I. really think that also like I like.

working out and having my kids in the. gym with me not for like a weight loss. like it's not that it's about just. showing them to be active and I used to. sit with my mom at Taio and all the. other [ __ ] like it's good for that sets. the tone and then when they're. introduced to it at whatever time in. their lives they they're not intimidated. because they're like yeah I've been. around this I've seen it it doesn't get. weird for them right yeah whether they. do it or not is another thing right but. the intimidation part is interesting so. when I I obviously known you since I was.

younger but then during my marriage I. started really working out when I was. going through my divorce and I remember. that's when I started to need those. workouts and but not even like going to. your gym was such a safe haven for so. many people and yes you taught No. cameras that's what people don't get. there's no people go what about theft. don't you worry I go I don't worry about. that there are no cameras in the gym but. also you only let one person work out. during that hour at a time so you can. feel as uncomfortable and vulnerable as.

you want there's nobody else there it's. your gym it's your music there was a. great video you probably have it of you. and Kendall oh yeah dancing up the track. uh This Big Sean song it is you right. yeah got it do you have that video that. you got to send me that it's just and. it's you guys from the back I think you. guys said but you can't do that at. another gym like good luck yeah you. could but you can't get the music queued. up you can't Kendall used to come there. and B on the on the iPad and literally.

DJ her own workout yeah no and I that's. H I missed that gem because it literally. was like our I'll get you come to. Nashville even if you come for a weekend. and they break ground today on the new. building for our gym to expand it but. you'll see same Vibe but oh of course it. is bigger ceilings just I've seen your. videos and I'm like ah I got to go back. there but so I feel like I know. everything about you and I'm sure people. who are well everything hey now don't.

know everything we'll leave that for. Jess your wife but. um yeah I want you to tell people like. how you got into this cuz I don't like. you went to Duke you know everything. about the human body literally. everything which is always so. fascinating to me because you're not. just a trainer like you know workout. things if I'm like Oh my left leg is. hurting you will know exactly what. muscle you got to stay on top of the. field that's where some trainers they. don't get it they think oh I know basic. programming and you know three sets of.

10 kind of stuff great but it's there's. a lot more that goes into it than that. and then you get the trainers who talk. about well you're a therapist like. you're not a therapist bro and you're. you're definitely not a trained. therapist so you should leave that out. of the equation and let people come to. their own decisions you just have to. create a space where the person feels. comfortable talking most people are. going to solve their own problems anyway. and you're definitely not in a position. as a trainer to give advice on that oh. you should leave your husband were you. crazy you can't do that because then if.

they don't then you feel like yeah or. you're fired right so the husband comes. in and goes hey bro right so I heard. what you said about me yeah so well how. did. you fall in love with Fitness but. also how did you get the clientele like. the roster that you have uh the fitness. part I was a fat kid I was in Weight. Watchers when I was 10 years old and. then I learned about working out and. then I learned to connect it to. nutrition and it was obviously you know. we have a mutual friend in nutrition. goolia but they go hand and glove and.

you know that and and he jokes that it's. 80% nutrition I joke that it's 80%. Fitness I think what we can agree upon. is the closer you are to your goal the. more nutrition plays a part and you. can't outtrain a bad diet right so all. that falls in line um but I got into. that because I it was a control thing. right as a fat kid I was a victim I felt. I can't control this why am I so fat why. do I look like this having that control. was cool and I just want to share with. people and I would tell friends come.

work out but they they won't or they. they won't on a regular basis so then it. becomes you're telling people but. without pitching it right like you're. not selling Fitness I tell trainers that. all the time you're not selling Fitness. you're selling energy and an experience. and if your energy speaks to your. workout like I worked out today I'm 150. years old and I worked out this morning. and I was I was giddy and I came back in. the hotel room and my son goes Dad. what's the matter with you I go I'm just. fired up today because I had a great.

workout I knew I was seeing you and and. I think your exercise program should do. that and I think as a trainer you should. do that for the people's exercise. programs that you program and they're. coming for the energy they're coming. you've always been like that and you've. been doing this for decades 35 years 35. years and every morning so I would have. the six or 7: a.m. slot typically and. you would have already been in there. 4:30 doing your own workout with your.

guys and you always had the energy. always happy always positive do you. remember when you walked in early once. and I was finishing my workout I can. tell you right where I was in the old. gym I was over oh God you're sick and I. was on the cable and I was shouting cuz. that's like my therapy my catharsis and. I was yelling and swearing and I. finished and the other guy worked with. me Brad yeah was there and he starts. laugh and I looked and I saw you walk. past and you go oh that's nice and I was. just swearing up a storm cuz that's how. I get it out well there's no judgment.

for me yeah go ahead do your. thing four letter bomb all day so that I. think that energy is what draws people. to I think your energy in anything. either draws or repels people whether. you're you know selling Widgets or or. workouts or you know running a a an. escape room it's the energy of the. people and as far as the roster goes to. go back to your question I was in the. right place at the right time and that's. not fake I used to joke I have great.

parking and people go oh that's not. really why that's a big part in La the. fact that someone like you or anyone in. in that rare air can pull in off Street. no Paparazzi Park get out of the car. where you can't be seen no cameras that. changes the game I think for who's going. to come to you like that's appreciated. by those who who value that right and. then they're going to keep coming and. it's a safe space let's not let's not I. get you're very humble no but I'm saying.

that's a big draw right and after that. at his prime you were his trainer. Sylvester Stallone yeah at his prime 23. years 23 years and the and still the man. he did a thing as did you and thank you. in person but I've done it on text for. my daughter yes he he the people like. that wrote me back right away and. there's a reason he writes you back. because he recognizes what you bring to. the table and that you're not after. anything else it's like not asking for a. photo I'm not asking for a photo yeah or. it's going to happen or it doesn't.

whatever but that doesn't change the. exchange that doesn't change the time. spent right I have people I've trained. that I'm still super close with probably. don't have any photos of them mhm but. that's fine oh no your wall I love so. Gunner's gym which we have to throw. photos of your gym the LA one the. Tennessee one whatever they're insane. and the ceiling quilted in jerseys oh. everybody if I promise you even if it's. a one-off workout any per I promise you.

you've trained anybody and everybody. whether it be from celebrity to CEO to. athlete and everyone only has great. things to say about you you are yeah. deliver on that level if they know you. outside of the gym maybe they. go but you try like you're coming for a. workout it should be fun you're you're. bringing time energy money whatever to. that you want to leave with a perception. of value I mean your gym is fun I miss. it it's such great energy my gym is.

emulated off of your gym love that like. I have the turf in the middle y um I. don't have the yellow but I have the. turf in the middle so the new gym has a. block that's black and yellow and a. block that's red white and blue and it. just makes it phone which I had kind of. in the old gym the downstairs was. morphed into red blue starting Pirates. and Patriots I still have one workout. bench that's yours it has your signature. on it do you remember you gave me that. left that so it's one thing that's. reminiscent of yours talk about about. how you went from being a production.

assistant to now doing what you're doing. cuz I think it's fascinating so I was. walking out of a gym uh I used to train. early morning before the job and um a. dude asked me if he could work out with. me and I was like and and the person the. kid I was training with early morning. training Partners as you know are hard. to come by and they're hard to be. consistent and the kid had not shown up. so I worked out by myself and as I'm. leaving the gym this guy asked me to. train and I said I was kind of like uh. sure and and I said but I go early and.

he goes no problem then he said what do. you charge and I was like let me get. back toing that wow yeah cuz I didn't. have like I wasn't a trainer and then I. played Cat and Mouse training him in a. gym as a non-employee but training him. and then uh trained a buddy of his and. then I started training a woman in the. evening so I do two people in the. morning and then go to the regular job. production assistant and then go to the. gym for my own workout at night oh my. God and then a woman started training. and then I started looking at it and I. go.

I'm making more money training three. people three times a week than I'm. making for a full week in a in a regular. job right and I quit the job and you. just had that much Faith No I I guess I. was like probably didn't love the job. but I didn't love the control of the job. and then I started um I met a casting. director who I started training and I. trained like two or three casting. directors and they worried that I didn't. have insurance because I didn't have. insurance cuz I was young and strong and. I don't get sick and I was like I got.

Viking Blood I'm not going to get sick. and they're like you need insurance. Gunner oh like health insurance yeah or. gym insurance yes and yes but they were. talking about health insurance so they. would put me in small roles in some of. the shows that they were casting oh. that's so funny and then I got sag. Insurance okay and I kind of coasted. like that for a little while but you do. what you can you're in your 20s you. don't have responsibilities right you're. not married no kids no pets so you can. do what you want work when you want and. as long as as long as I can control the.

workflow as long as I can keep my foot. on the gas I'll go as hard as it takes. and then uh it's just crazy to go from. that and then it's like Arnold. Schwarzenegger and The Rock and the. Kardashians no just kidding no but you. have to reverse that order. it's no but it is crazy that but you're. also in the right think about it you're. in the right zip code like you're you're. in the place where the people are where.

was your first Gym U my first gym was at. the house on Tower Road the house next. door yeah and I remember that one yep. gutted it and it became a gym and it. became again it was a safe place for. people who who can't be it's not fair. they can't who it's uncomfortable for. them in a public gym and I get that. people go oh why can't they work out. what's they can but can you promise me. you're not going to go bother them or. you're not going to take pictures like. this because that's what people do and. that gets annoying for somebody in your.

line of work that's tough but also you. like movies movie roles people would. rely on you to get them together for. that role didn't you do Angelina for. Tomb Raider Tomb Raider too yep went to. London that's a lot of responsibility on. your shoulders it is but it's fun and. you've already had the especially when. youve when you get called by a studio to. train somebody for a role that's a. different responsibility then you've.

worked with a person for X period of. time they get a role and they say okay. here's the role here's how I want to. tweak that you know I worked with uh Nam. drop um Matthew mccon for a lot of years. and he was training for a role I want to. say he was going to be a diver like a. springboard diver and working working. work and then he came in one day and he. goes changing the role uh that movie. fell through I'm doing a different role. and I need to look like across between. whatever it was something like a. quarterback and a linebacker and it was. the role of um in the movie Sahara the.

Clive kussler novel and he was playing. the lead character Dirk pit yeah and. yeah very different ironically I read. all those books growing up cve kusser. also the thing about. you don't ask you to immerse like you. are immersed in any piece of knowledge. got to go deep EV but how the hell do. you have the time well that's why I. don't gamble I don't do drugs I'm afraid. of coffee like I don't I know how I.

would go i' be know be the psycho it's. wild that like me I need my coffee the. pre- energy you're like You're Sober. Sober Sober Sober like I'll do an energy. drink I like it I'll do a zo 160. milligrams of caffeine let's go but the. energy my free gym workout but that's. crazy that that's like all it takes to. get you going yeah so he said to me I'm. doing listen this this is funny he goes. I'm doing this role Sahara and I said oh. Sahara there's a book CLI cusser he goes. what do you know about that book. and I said uh lead character is Dirk pit.

he's got a girlfriend named Eva Roos he. works for a guy named Admiral sander who. works for Numa he's this and he goes. what do you know about Dirk pit I go. what do you mean and he goes I'm Dirk. pit I go Dirk pit is 6'4 and he goes. Dirk Pitts 51 and 3/4 and I go solid say. less you're right you're right yeah. funny are yeah so you but working with. him for a role like that or working with. somebody that you've worked with for a. while I don't feel the pressure I think. it's then it's fun because you're just.

you're taking the relationship in a New. Direction and they trust you you know. how they work you know what's going to. work with them what you can and can't do. there's no like feeling it. outphase picture this you and your. bestie finally making that girls getaway. degreas of reality you've been talking. about it since high school and now it's. happening but wait where do you even. start are you drowning in browser tabs. comparing hotels and second guessing. every itinerary or are you the go-to. trip planner in your friend friend group. already kneed deep in a Google doc.

things change and you move on yeah but. nothing but love for those guys and and. they crushed it I mean there's a work. ethic down there that's sick which is. why they are who they are speaking of. your family so you have three three sets. you have three kids from your first. marriage and then two more yeah I have. Henry my oldest then Jack then Sloan and. then I have Zayn and then I have Monroe. and so I have a starting five you have a. starting five which is whatever everyone. needs everybody right you better no I'm.

good I have my two and then I just. acquire other kids you also have a lot. of nieces and nephews so I do like you. feel take care of a I'm good I Feel. Complete starting 20 but um ever since. I've known you you found a way to. balance you have this extreme work life. that you do literally from 4:30 in the. morning on and then you're always at. your kids games when your kids were. touring College you were on the college. tours even though they were only going. to go to Duke I imagine du um my middle.

son went to SMU and I left I said to him. dude you're gonna have more fun than. everybody who went to Duke just because. you're going to be in Texas and you're. gonna and he tore it up he'll still wear. a Duke shirt but he's an SMU kid Jack. and it's it's awesome to see him in his. own like he's got his own gig there but. yeah they were only going to Duke I. wouldn't let the I wouldn't have any. baby blue in the nursery I want Duke. Blue in nurseries for the boys it's.

always been Duke Blue correct always but. how have you always found a way to. balance I don't even know if it's. balance I think your kids were your. number one priority and then the rest. yeah balance is that's that word right I. have a guy now um country music guy in. Nashville he goes he goes I hate the. word balance I said cool I hate the word. Journey so let's not the band but like. people always say I'm on my journey I'm. like shut up you're not on a journey. what do you it's your workout like. you're not on a journey. but um I don't think you have balance I.

think I think you go hard and get. obsessed with everything mhm like I. imagine that right now you are because. this is your newest baby I would imagine. you are all day the fact that you have. notes and things and like you can't have. balance if you're doing a new project. right whether it's a work project or a. kid you got to go all in with that and. you know what you're about to find out. but I think you do know with the kids. they're gone in a minute I know right. that first it's the school thing and.

then they're then they're gone for x. amount of hours a day and and you go oh. that's weird I got a big hole in my time. and then it's the friend thing and then. it's trips with friends and then it's. college and then it's like good luck you. know you've always handled it so well. and I feel like when if you had a crazy. day your kids would come by the gym and. hang out for a little bit and do. homework in the back or you always found. a way to make it so family inclusive but. never feeling like God Gunner's kids are. here do you know like like it was never.

intrusive it was always such a great. environment they're always super. respectful and they would stay back. there and and that's also how you get to. tell who the people are that you're. working with the ones who acknowledge. them and speak to them versus the one. who just wave and walk um and I want. them to see I brought my little guy here. Zayn this I'm in La for two days and. he's with me and I said you're going to. do work dat with Daddy and he's like can. I bring my iPad yeah I go you can but he. needs to see I think it's helpful that. they see what you do yes it is yeah.

speak a little bit about Monroe and what. you guys have been going through on her. health journey and like. tell I know Journey let's find balance. uh she how old is she she's five and. last year I think it's I think it's a. year ago tomorrow or Thursday wow was. diagnosed with AML. leukemia um which yeah that's a fun day. I was so surprised with.

how subtle like the symptoms were for. leukemia that I would love for you if. you're comfortable to explain that. because I when I heard like when I was. like Mom how did I remember I was like. how did he know Monroe had that and it. was a few bruises from what yeah my wife. Jess found that and and I'll I'll give. even more kudos to Jess for not just how. she found it but how she's ch in the. whole thing as far as I'm concerned.

she's she's got an MD like she's become. an absolute Beast the way I would expect. a lot of moms especially you and and. like when you're it's not helicopter. parenting by the way it's it's being a. good mom um so Monroe is getting fevers. and they would subside or they'd break. it the night in the night and then she'd. be fine and then she'd get another one. and and I don't know to me her her skin. like her palor wasn't her her the there. was a palor to her skin that you didn't. see normally and I said to Jess maybe.

it's like anemia or something I think I. think this is more than just like day. cool night cool time I think this is. like go to the dock and she went and. checked and they she checked while I was. at work and then she they put her in an. ambulance they said uh her counts are. extremely low she needs to go up to. Vanderbilt right now so they sent her to. Vanderbilt and um then they checked and. then a couple days later they come and. they do they checked her in and of. course my wife stayed with her the whole. time like literally lived there ended up.

the two of them living there for six. months wow thank God it's only 20. minutes from our house so we could do. like a tag in tag out thing and and zann. could see and my other kids flew in and. all the other kids when she when it came. down to needing bone marrow transplant. all my other kids stepped up right drew. the blood to see who was a match and and. it gets uh that gets super hairy but um. they get that diagnosis and it's no joke. they check you in and then then they.

tell you what it is and it's it's not. leukemia it's AML leukemia it's more. rare more rare it's more rare it's more. difficult to it's everything and then. it's probably going to be a bone marrow. transplant and then there's going to be. then that didn't take the first one. didn't take and then I mean it took for. a minute and then it didn't and then. they go through a radiation and then Keo. it's just uh you wouldn't wish it on. anybody right but my wife um and I would. tell I would tell any parent or any.

Guardian you have to advocate for your. kid and you have to keep meticulous. notes my wife wrote down on this. notebook that that's more notes than I. took in four plus years of college uh. and she wrote down everything they did. every time the nurse comes in at night. how much what are you giving her what. time why and and you keep it because you. want to go back to it and say this. didn't work this did work and Vanderbilt. topnotch can't give it more praise for. how they handled the whole thing but you.

have to advocate for it yeah and you. have to ask questions of not just the. doctors not just the heads of the. Departments which we had you know we. were lucky to have good relationships. but the the day-to-day caregivers those. people are the ones who see symptoms who. see Trends who you know the nurses the. orderlies the people who are in and out. and in and out and if you don't keep. those relationships open and take those. notes something can get missed and and I. worry for the people who don't know to.

do all that it can go sideways real fast. my cousin Cece who I know you've met in. the past she's had cancer for like over. 30 something years on and off and she. says the same thing you have to advocate. for yourself that regardless of who the. medical practitioner is they're not you. and you have to even saying no like no I. you don't feel like this is the right. drug for you like it's okay to push. against that yep just that we also had a. guy um through another through other.

friends and probably not cool to say. their names but anyway we had other. friends who connected us with another. doctor down in Florida who Jess and I. could bounce but more Jess bounce stuff. off of but I was on all the emails all. the text and so I'd read it and Jess was. just on it on it on it and without. without his being like a sounding board. and giving advice and he never he never. contradicted or countered anything but. he said ask about this or what about. this and when you put it in a question. form sometimes you do spark an idea like.

Oh that's oh maybe and then the. treatment takes a different turn or a. different path or like the second. transplant she. did um they do a TBI right a total body. irradiation where they essentially. microwave your kid to Nuke anything. before the transplant so that the. transplant has a better chance of taking. and they get down to. discussing what temperature that's set. at doctor in Florida has a different. idea than these people because how would.

you know how would I know how how would. my wife and I know oh for her body size. for her body weight for the fact that. she's been under chemo for this long and. now she's going to go through this. having those people like I would tell. anybody reach out and the the pediatric. oncology world right is very small and. they talk in real time and you can get. really good answers if you step up and. ask a question nobody's holding back. information it's not like we have the. Cure and we're going to hold it so you.

come to us and we make money it's it's. not that kind of business they will talk. and we got some really good people on. our side no that Community is huge huge. your family friend Harry who yes Harry. Hudson who's phenomenal like he lives in. Tennessee too correct we've gone back. and forth on Texas but he has a a little. room at in the vanderbild in the Monroe. Carol uh Children's Hospital for kids to. go because I guess teenag go and then. they feel thank God like Monroe our.

daughter lost all her hair right and her. eyebrows which is a freaky look but but. it's cool like make it work but she. doesn't have the association with hair. and beauty and how she presents herself. as a teenager would so Harry recognized. that and there's a little Center for. teens within the hospital where they can. go and and be themselves and there's. there's musical stuff and it's Harry's. the best and when Harry got cancer he. was teenager and so it brought him into. the gym one time and I was like just.

something like he looked thin and I. didn't I didn't know the backstory and. then they're like oh by the way I said. got it yeah okay they were aware of how. kids the teens are going through sure. the cancer fight not to be denied but. the other fight of how come I look like. this and I don't fit in and now I look. weird and whatever Monroe doesn't have. that my daughter doesn't have that she's. like laughing and then it's coming back. Monroe has I took a picture of her hair. the other night best personality. hopefully you can I'll show you the p.

and it's like she wetted it down and. it's just growing back in and it's. patchy and she combed it over like that. and I took a picture from the top and I. sent it to my brother and I go I'd like. you to meet my new accountant like it. looks like a terrible combover but she's. just happy to have it yeah and how is. she doing now she's good uh she's going. through and this is another thing she's. going through a ton of gut GI problems. so you have to know as the parent as the. guardian advocating for the kid that the.

treatment yes sure the cancer is in. remission that's the best news ever but. there are things you can do leading up. to it that might help you avoid future. problems like the gut disorders which. she's been fighting now for a five. months I would say now it's better than. it's been and her attitude through it. like you realize you learn more from the. kid through this than the kid learns. from you I was just going to say to you. has it surprised you yeah Monroe's.

attitude through all of this her. attitude she's a 10 yeah she's a trooper. she gets I mean I don't know how graphic. you want to get but like her bathroom. habits have been pretty um crazy over. the last five months but she'll go in. there and I'll go you all right and she. goes yeah I'm just riding my dirt bike. and I'm like you're 5 years old don't. say that but it's her attitude she's. she's not phased by it and she'll go. from. a painful episode in there and then.

she'll just start talking hey Daddy when. the Barbie goes down the slide she has. to move because if not the other Barbie. when she comes and I'm looking at her. going how are we talking about Barbie's. right you were just going through. immense abdominal pain right but her. attitude she just compartmentalizes it. and but every video you posted of her in. the hospital going through the chemo. it's she was decorating her room and. that's just justed theme rooms which of. course you would do too yes she made. because the rooms are pretty bleak and. feel you. feel if you want to ever look at where.

you could help not you but one with. their time or their money or or their. energy take a walk down a Children's. Cancer Ward it's like humbling right and. it's pretty bleak and a lot of those. kids are in there by themselves young. and so Jess made I mean she made the. bathroom fun she did a mermaid theme she. did the Frozen theme she did some cool. stuff so that Monroe her stay there was. was less awful than a normal hospital St.

nobody wants to be in a hospital. nobody do you cuz I'm sure I like that. you're going to sit back and set this up. like it just popped into your head yes. and this just came to me well cuz I'm. sure so many. people hire you because of who they see. you're training and what they see you. can do for other people but yes you're. incredibly talented but also it takes. that person to be committed right yeah. and so so is there anybody you don't. have to say names but do you have a lot.

of clients that you mainly like you you. know they're not committed so you would. rather sort of break up with them so you. could use that hour towards someone. that's great question and I'll tell you. this in the beginning of doing this 35. years. ago my when I had people and you could. feel that right when you feel the. reluctance or the push back my thought. at the. time younger gung-ho passionate excited. to share it was I'm gonna make this.

person fall in love with their time with. me and fall in love with Fitness and I I. would make that would be that would. become my C CB I wanted that I wanted. them to just love it and when they get. it that's like a huge Victory now if I. feel any push back I just go hey. Wednesday I'm slam but I have these two. guys here Colin and Adam they're great. um they're going to be here and and just. try to push it Downstream not in a bad. way right just in a it's not this is not.

we're not suited I can't come at this. with 110% energy and and I prepped the. workouts the night before and you come. in not wanting to do it or phoning it in. like that's just a bad match not that my. other guys are are not doing the same. but they're younger they're earlier in. the game they're going to want to pitch. it I'm not selling it to anybody like no. and I I also I love that you said that. you do plan your workouts the night.

before you're old school so I'm old. school like whenever someone sends me. like something about let's just say I'm. interviewing you they'll be like oh here. we printed this out for you because I. don't want to read it on my phone I want. a tangible piece of paper and I know. with your workouts you've it tangibly. printed out you hang it on the wall or. take it around with you so you know what. workouts we're doing but talk us through. I had an NFL quarterback who took it. once at the end of the workout and he. wrote on it you don't faase me and he. crumbled it up and he threw it like that.

and then I go you spelled faase wrong. no well football player you know you. know but I love your how methodical you. are with your workouts and how you plan. it the night before and you do that for. each client and it's talk about that. it's a system I I joke with my. nine-year-old son like last night we got. to the hotel and I said on I want you to. open your suitcase and line your clothes. up for how you're going to put them on. tomorrow I said because when I get back. from the gym I want you to be bang bang.

bang ready to roll and he goes but I. know they're in the suitcase and I said. it's not going to work like that you. have to have a system if you don't have. a system you're going to be slow on the. draw so I'm the same with the workouts. write them out have them stacked in the. order that the people are coming in and. just know that you're going to execute. that way but also when you plan them. like I write it on the work on the on. the I'm not so old school that I do on. paper but I write it on the computer but. I pull up what we've done I know the. date I know what your short-term.

long-term goal is how are we going to. set that up what you've done in between. if anything and you got to prepare it. like that just destroying somebody in a. workout is such. a it's such a um cliche rookie trainer. move oh and I've had that oh I'm sure. you have I've had trainers reach out to. me especially when doing Revenge body. like I would want to try some of those. trainers I'm not I'm not pushing for. this but I would if there's a campaign. why don't they bring Revenge body back. it was so fun it was and it holds up and.

you you made some great changes in. people's lives and you also expose some. people who well if I had a chainer if I. had a chef you're like no bro you. wouldn't you you wouldn't well and it. wasn't about taking people out of their. comfort zone it was about this is still. your daily life we're going to implement. just the training aspect but there's no. Chef we're not putting you in a mansion. and isolating you for 3 months that's. easy for anyone to. find a time to make it work because the. people that you're seeing the people.

that you're saying well if I had what. they had I would do what they did you. wouldn't that's why those people are in. that thin tier of people and I think. that is a thin tier of people especially. in La especially in Hollywood oh what. else is she doing she's got all day to. work out no she doesn't have all day to. work out that's why like you say yeah. you're there 6:00 7 in the morning you. drive in you park you do the work and. then you make good conscious choices the. other 23 hours of the day whether it's. food alcohol drugs sleep recovery Stress.

Management whatever it is you're doing. all the right things that support the. workout or the workout supports those. good choices people won't do that and. that to me is the thrust of the show. here's the body you claim you want for. whatever your personal issue you're. going through the Revenge you wanted to. get right thematically and then you. didn't even do it and we provided it and. we found found a way to fit it in your. life and you drop the ball right I know. everyone is always looking for the new.

fitness Trend and I want to know if. there's one that you love right now and. one that you wish would. disappear I you know again pauliana I. think there I think you can pull. something good from everything I think. everything starts because of something. good or something beneficial I think. sometimes you you want something to. be the end all be all I don't think. that's necessarily the case I think the. one thing like hard work never goes out.

of style and I know that's not a workout. type but in fact it is a style of. working out whatever you're doing work. hard um I I think when people just use. their step count as their as their like. Fitness North Star I go that's cool but. there's a lot more so I'm not saying I. want the step count zealots to go away. but I am saying that's great that you've. got the step count you know on on lock. but you should add to that and I think.

more and more studies come out about. resistance training and you and your. family members get that resistance can. be anything right it can be body weight. it can be water it can be pneumatic it. can be weights it can be cables there's. so many different ways to implement an. an exterior load to the body but you. need that and especially women need that. you're not going to bulk up you don't. you don't have enough testosterone to. bulk up unless you're eating above and. beyond calories you're burning and. nobody wants to hear that but you're not.

going to bulk up something that I've. always taken away from you and I. reference it cuz I remember I think it. was the bike I was on and I was like G. bike makes my legs big and I no I rolled. my eyes and you were like what and I was. like I [ __ ] hate the bike and you're. like Okay so let's do another piece of. cardio right and I was like wait I. didn't have to argue with you like I I. was thinking I didn't say that but I'm. like oh you're like well I don't want. you to hate it here and there's 20 other. options of cardio so which one do you. want to do yeah you used to get people.

who say I I bought a treadmill I mean I. hate running but I I read the thing. where that burns the most calories I'm. like why would you buy that you just. said you hate it yeah you're not going. to grow to love it probably not you. might but I I doubt it you're swimming. Upstream you're already. starting the fitness journey you're. already you're already starting it with. like head butting right what do you like. doing bike rower climber but I'll never. forget that and it was that simple and I. was like yes okay let's get to the. treadmill or get to boxing or jump.

roping it was so easy and I tell people. that I'm like well no I don't like to. ride the bike I'm not going to ride it. because what the [ __ ] does that do as. opposed to me doing the stairs or you. used to be on the Arc Trainer yeah with. your I'm going to go back and say it was. a Blackberry maybe it was and cranking. that Arc Trainer and people don't get. that's not an elliptical right it's a. high knee motion so it mimics sprinting. versus the shape of an ellipse which an. elliptical does and you would just be. pumping that thing away and like d da d. d da I go that is the definition of.

multitasking at a very high level well I. learned it from Chris Jenner no no but. that I don't know you've always done. things that for me other trainers never. did for me it was always like you. said they would just sort of want to. kill you to like impress you and it's. not to impress you it's first of all. they talk about it I crushed her she. won't she won't walk to call them back. yeah I would say if she doesn't walk.

tomorrow she's probably not walking back. here n and she's going to tell people. and that's not a badge of honor for her. or for you that's a like that's a. hindrance to her fitness program to her. progress you got to ease into it I have. a guy now wish more people would. understand that I have a guy now uh who. I started working with he lives in New. Jersey he's overweight he reached out he. came in and he's I go you got to find a. way first thing ever is to fit it in. your schedule how do you fit it in your.

schedule that's what most people say I. don't have time well you have to have. time because if you go down like you're. going to have time to recover you're. going to be in a hospital or you're. going to be dead so you because there. are people who who they get right up to. the red line and they don't realize it. and this guy like he would go all day. but you have to hold them back I go. start with one then do a 30 minute walk. then another ease into it if it's if. it's too much too soon it'll fail I. agree with that yeah but people don't.

want to hear that because and I also say. you didn't get to that condition like. overnight so we're certainly not going. to reverse that overnight and we're. trying to find something that is. sustainable if it's sustainable it's. successful if it's not sustainable it's. going to fail fine for peing for a. wedding a Beach vacation or a photo. shoot whatever it is that that's all. fine but you can't maintain that no no. and you can't get it back in a day so. correct so what's a regime that you can. fit in if your goal is just to hit this. high for for that for that day you can.

do that but then what happens then you. let it go you crash try doing that in. your 40s 50s 60s it's hard to get it. back what's in the future for gunar. Peterson so we have a TV show idea um. actually me with Lindsay Von and. somebody else that's not we don't know. yet about flushing out new fitness. things and things at work what what are. the top people do what are the top what. are the. what do the one percenters do what do.

those guys do to get better and those. girls do to get better every year every. season because they're always seeking. the next thing whether it's nutrition. whether it's a hack whether it's a. recovery thing or a training protocol so. to flush those out on camera would be. fun and you're the guy yeah there's. another one we wanted to do another TV. show um kind of like Bar Rescue for gyms. oh how funny yeah my trademark that. named gym intervention cuz I think. that's trade market before this.

airs already did um but we wrote that up. because I think there's so many gems. that and especially when you travel and. you go to little places and you see them. you're like how is this guy holding on. it's a mom and pop that's what people. like I call you for that when I was like. I'm doing my gym that's what and you've. done that for hotels I had somebody who. wrote me this morning we've done Hotel. gym designs yeah um you would be so. great at that you guys should do that. that show I forget the gu's name where. he would go to restaurants yeah uh Bar.

Rescue or Restaurant Rescue something. like that Rob used to love that show. great show and he would go in and he. would call him out yes and he would say. but I love that man like he's no. nonsense but like love but I could be. that but I don't ever want to do any of. that stuff alone he actually had a. counterpart in that he had a woman I. could remember them sitting in the car. before they went into the gym to just. drop the hammer I think it was just him. I thought he had a I thought he had like. a co-pilot but I like do you want a. co-pilot I definitely want a co-pilot I. like doing stuff he was. my mom used to worry you can't be alone. I go I can't it's just not as fun yeah.

you just don't want to yeah I like being. with people and I would do that and um. like Lindsay has a great sense of humor. and she's super fun and she's a serious. athlete so her opinion matters and it. would be I think you guys would be. perfect doing that perfect yeah yeah g. thank you so much. for I'm so happy for you.
