Episode 97: A Community Revival: Justin Schardt on Coaching, Family, and Health
In this episode of the Take Control of Your Life Podcast, I sit down with Justin Schardt, founder of CrossFit Revival, to talk about the journey of building something meaningful from the ground up.
Justin purchased a gym in 2014 while still working full-time driving truck for Pepsi. Like many entrepreneurs, he started by balancing long workdays with the responsibility of running a gym and building a community.
In 2020, he made the decision to officially affiliate with CrossFit, transforming the gym into CrossFit Revival and doubling down on his mission to help people become stronger, healthier, and more capable in their everyday lives.
But this conversation goes deeper than just business.
We talk about raising children with health and fitness as a priority, the responsibility coaches have to their communities, and why helping people reach their true potential is about far more than just workouts.
Justin shares lessons from over a decade in the fitness industry, the challenges of entrepreneurship, and why building a culture of support and accountability is what truly creates lasting change.
If you’re a parent, coach, entrepreneur, or someone simply trying to live a healthier life, this episode will remind you that transformation is always possible when you commit to the process.
