Description:

I met Marshall Roy the night before Man Camp started. Over a couple of beers, I realized this dude is just as big a nerd as I am.

After his presentation at Man Camp, I knew I had to have him on the podcast to chat.

Marshall Roy is a personal trainer (2014 Best Personal Trainer in Philidelphia), an accomplished powerlifter, a black belt in kickboxing, and writer. Besides his numerous certifications from the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM), an SFG level II kettlebell instructor, Precision Nutrition nutrition coach (Pn1), and certified practitioner of the Functional Movement Screen (FMS), Marshall Roy has also appeared on television fitness segments with The Weather Channel.

He believes fitness is a decision you make repeatedly---for the rest of your life. But one where you don't need to try and strive for perfection. Instead, Marshall Roy would rather see you strive for excellence and consistency. Because as he says, "perfection is an illusion, but the achievements made in its pursuit are very real."
