BodySpec DEXA Scan vs. Fancy Gym Scale vs. At-Home Scale: you won’t believe how different the results are 🤯 I’m all about data. Specifically, I’m all about getting the most accurate data humanly possible. It’s well-established that DEXA scans are THE gold standard when it comes to body fat % measurements. So naturally, I wanted to test how accurate other body fat % measurement devices were by comparison. So I got a DEXA scan at BodySpec and stepped on the fancy scale at the gym with the handles AND my fancy scale at home with the metal circles on it, all within ~10 minutes of each other. Exact same clothes, exact same hydration status. The ONLY difference was the technology measuring the body fat % and the accuracy of that technology. A DEXA scan is a low-dose X-ray that can distinguish between fat mass, muscle, and bone. By contrast, those fancy gym scales and home scales use biometric impedance (which involves sending an electric current through the path of least resistance in your body) to t try to identify fat vs. muscle. Ultimately, a DEXA scan is FAR more accurate, and the other scales can have an absolute error of as much as +/- 5% body fat compared to DEXA. That might sound “small”, but that can be a relative error of as much a +/- 20-100% depending on your body fat %! Here were my results, again all on the exact same day, same time, same hydration status, same clothes: Gym scale: 6.2% body fat Home scale: 13.0% body fat BodySpec DEXA scan: 9.2% body fat That means that my gym scale had a relative error of -33% (absolute error of -3%) and my home scale had a relative error of 41% (absolute error of 3.8%). So if you want to get the most accurate data humanly possible and to know your ACTUAL body fat %, book a DEXA scan with @bodyspec today!

I can’t gate-keep this any longer. I just found the best AI tool on the planet 🤯 As a content creator who has collaborated with countless brands, I’m always ideating, iterating, and executing with team members to create the highest quality content possible. I now have a new team member who helps speed up and amplify the output for the entire team: Viktor. For just $100/mo, Viktor does work without me even asking. He’s not only generated ideas I never would have thought of on my own, he’s also generated invoices for clients, suggested optimal marketing angles to position my content strategically, and best of all, he’s created full pitch decks of final concepts, which I’ve never been able to do professionally/cleanly on my own. Typically, I’d have to film a full video draft, submit for review, and then re-film if edits were needed. Now with Viktor’s pitch decks, I can submit fully-fleshed ideas for review before I ever film them, saving me an immense amount of time, streamlining the review process with brands, and producing a better end product. Viktor also proactively suggests workflow optimizations and offered to create a monthly refresh of my media kit AND daily fitness research synthesis + summary pulled from the latest publications to fuel my content as a fitness coach. I didn’t even ask him to do that!! And after Viktor blew my mind time after time with all of the above, I asked him to build a web app to help my clients track their fitness habits. Minutes later, I had a functioning habit tracker web app. Viktor literally does the job of 5 different people and does so faster and better than actual humans could 🤯 Add Viktor to Slack today and experience the difference of finally using an AI team member, not just another chat bot. #getviktor #viktor #slack #ai #artificialintelligence

I TOOK A TRIP TO ICELAND FOR UNDER $3,000!! Here’s how I saved $269 (stacked with credit card points!!) 🤯🤯✈️ The ShopBack App just might be the best cash back app I’ve ever come across!! It allows you to make purchases of things you were going to buy already (like flights, rental car, hotel, and tours/excursions), AND you get cash back for those purchases!! And this doesn’t take the place of credit card points; you still get those, too!! On my trip to Iceland, I saved: 💸$15 on my flight 💸$81 on my hotel 💸$173 on my rental car 💸$5 on my tour For a total of $269 saved across the whole trip!!! This brought the total from $3,144 down to $2,875!! Genuinely a mind-blowing amount of savings on a single trip 🤯 And these aren’t “savings” where you get credits to redeem somewhere; it’s actual CASH sent directly back to your bank account!! Use the link in my bio to download the app now; you’ll never travel again without it!! #Cashback #OnlineShopping #Rewards #Iceland #Travel

I only wish I’d known about this during my 3 years of failed knee injury recovery 🤯🙏🏼🦵🏼💪🏼🦿 I had a life-altering knee injury in 2015. I didn’t know it then, but it would go on to persist for 3 years, during which my legs severely atrophied, resulting in a 6-year imbalance between my upper vs. lower body. For context on the injury onset, one day while running home from the gym after a leg workout, I felt a burning sensation below the kneecap of my left knee. It lingered for hours. I didn’t know it then, but it was a 40% tear to my left patella tendon due to poor lifting form early on in my journey. I was misdiagnosed originally, and I underwent a failed mesenchynal stem cell injection procedure, as well as a failed amniotic stem cell injection procedure. I tried every conservative aid possible, including numerous knee braces and knee sleeves. Vast majority of them were entirely ineffective, or at least incredibly uncomfortable. I only wish I’d known about the Anaconda knee brace. It’s easily the most comfortable knee brace I’ve ever used, it’s got an incredible magnitude of compressive forces applied in all of the right places, and it’s designed to keep you moving, to enable you to continue exercising. Ultimately the solution I found that enabled my injury to heal was dynamic rehab. In other words, movement was my medicine. Use rather than dis-use. So if you’re struggling with a knee injury, get professional physical therapy that keeps your body moving, and use a knee brace that actually works like the one from Anaconda.

You’re surrounded by positive people who genuinely love life. It’s the kind of week that reminds you how good life can be. Fully present. Fully alive. Fully connected. That’s why this retreat means so much to me. It’s not just a vacation.

🏡 Living together under one roof in this immaculate luxury villa for a week every year is genuinely one of the highlights of my life 🥹🌴🙏🏼❤️ One of my favorite sounds in the world is waking up in the mornings to laughter echoing throughout the halls of the villa. When I first dreamed up the idea for the annual Hawaii Fitness Retreat, this is the exact type of space I envisioned for us to share… I just didn’t know a place like it actually existed. The villa is tucked away in nature, surrounded by lush greenery and far removed from the hustle and bustle of the city. Because we all live together for the week, we get to wake up and share meals together, flow through guided yoga sessions together, play summer camp-style games together, and somehow talk about anything, everything, and nothing all at the same time :’) After every retreat, I always reflect on how different that week feels from any other week of my year. Not just because we’re in Hawaii. But because we’re living in true community. A full week surrounded by positive, energetic, passionate, like-minded people who all genuinely want to make the most out of life. There’s something unbelievably powerful about that kind of environment. Honestly, it feels like creating our own little Blue Zone for a week… a glimpse into the kind of joy, connection, movement, and community that people are meant to experience more often. This villa becomes our home base. The place we return to after long, fulfilling days of hiking, training, surfing, exploring, and living fully. And every year, when I leave, I already find myself craving the feeling of being back there again. Not just because of Hawaii itself. But because of the people and the sense of community that fills the entire experience 🌺 If this sounds like the sort of experience that would fill your cup, DM me “RETREAT” 📷: @ryanresatka #oahu #hawaii #fitnessretreat #retreats #mansion

The older I get, the more I realize the best memories in life usually involve the same few things 🙏🏼🙌🏼🤙🏽 Beautiful places. Meaningful conversations. Movement. Adventure. Great food. And people who genuinely make you feel more alive. That’s exactly what the Hawaii Fitness Retreat has become. A week where all of those things come together at once. We wake up and train together. We spend the days exploring beaches, mountains, hikes, tide pools, and local spots that honestly don’t even look real. We end the nights around incredible meals, telling stories and laughing until way too late. And somewhere in the middle of all of it, life starts to feel simpler again. More present. More intentional. More connected. One of my favorite parts is seeing how naturally fitness integrates into the experience. Nobody’s forcing workouts. Nobody’s obsessing over perfection. People just want to move, feel good, challenge themselves, and fully experience everything the island has to offer. That’s what health should feel like. Not restrictive. Not isolating. Enhancing. Enhancing your energy. Enhancing your confidence. Enhancing your ability to experience the world around you. And when you combine that with a group of like-minded people who all value growth, gratitude, and adventure, it creates something really special. Every year, the retreat reminds me that some of the best parts of life can’t be bought. They have to be experienced. And honestly, Hawaii has a way of making you feel all of it at once. 📷: @andrewjacobmedia #hawaii #hawaiiretreat #hawaiilife #fitnessretreat #oahu

The Hawaii Fitness Retreat feels like what life is supposed to feel like 🤙🏽 Waking up excited. Moving your body daily. Being surrounded by positive, like-minded people. Exploring some of the most beautiful places on earth. Laughing constantly. Feeling fully present. That’s the energy of the entire week. One moment we’re going through an island yoga flow together. The next we’re hiking through mountains, swimming in tide pools, surfing, chasing sunsets, or eating incredible food together after a full day of adventure. And somehow, every year, it all just works so naturally. Fitness stops feeling like something you “have” to do. It becomes part of the experience itself. Movement becomes celebration. Healthy living becomes freedom. Community becomes the thing that elevates everything else. That’s what makes the retreat so special to me. It’s not just about getting in shape. It’s about feeling alive. It’s about remembering how good life can feel when you’re taking care of yourself, surrounded by amazing people, and fully embracing the world around you. And honestly, there’s something powerful about seeing a group of people all decide to say yes to life at the same time. Yes to adventure. Yes to growth. Yes to trying new things. Yes to becoming healthier, stronger, and more present. Every year I leave Hawaii feeling grateful beyond words. For the people. For the memories. For the island itself. And for the reminder that life is meant to be fully experienced. 📷: @andrewjacobmedia
