“Faith Saved Me From Rock Bottom!” How Justin King Rebuilt His Life & Career Through God!
Manage episode 474691267 series 3594257
In this episode, I sit down with my good friend and powerhouse coach, Justin King, a man whose story is a masterclass in resilience, faith, and unwavering purpose. Justin has worked with elite professional athletes across 16 sports, including NFL stars like Budda Baker and six-time Mr. Olympia, Chris Bumstead. But his journey didn’t start at the top. It began on the floor of a tiny condo, jobless, stressed, and praying for a breakthrough.
We talk deeply about what it means to lead a life of intention, not just in the gym, but in faith, business, and relationships. Justin shares how his faith in God has been the compass guiding every step, even in seasons of confusion, heartbreak, and transition. This episode is raw, real, and packed with wisdom for any woman (or man) who’s ever felt stuck, unsure, or like they’re meant for more.
We also dive into tangible training tips, why less is often more, how to structure your workouts for maximum results, and why split squats might just be your new best friend.
If you’ve ever needed a reminder that strength is built in the hard places, this one’s for you.
