In this episode of the Discover Strength Podcast, CEO and exercise physiologist Luke Carlson is joined by three Discover Strength exercise physiologists: Taylor Melvin, Chris Langley, and John McQuade. They discuss their careers in exercise science, the idea of practicing what they teach, and the push to raise the standard for the entire profession.
The conversation covers what it means to professionalize the exercise profession and why exercise professionals deserve to be treated as part of the allied healthcare continuum. They also discuss what makes someone thrive at Discover Strength and the “customer comes second” philosophy, which means putting your teammates first and holding each other to a high standard. They share favorite moments from their time with the company, and how they train themselves today, including how they get through a workout when they don’t feel like doing it.
