Season 1, Episode 6 - Jeff Jeran

The Medical Fitness Podcast

Jeff Jeran is the Chair of the Board of Directors of the Medical Fitness Association for a reason – he is an ALL-STAR in this space. Jeff has opened SIX successful, award-winning medical fitness facilities over the past 18 years, which are a testimony to his amazing ability to build fitness centers which cater to the 80% of the population that don’t use traditional gyms and health clubs, and who prefer to train in a safe environment. It is also a testimony to his ability to successfully collaborate with clinicians across a wide spectrum of care, and create models where clinicians refer to fitness professionals.
In our awesome discussion, Jeff talks about his windy path to success, which is something I always find intriguing – it’s so interesting to listen to successful people talk about how they got to their point of success.
• He also talks about what makes the Medical Fitness Association great and unique, which includes their desire to SHARE best practices and collaborate as an organization - something that all organizations should learn from and mirror,
• The Medical Fitness Association’s desire to collaborate with the National Strength and Conditioning Association,
• Strength coaches working with patients in clinical settings,
• Valley Health’s provider-referral program and “medical integration services” – unique models which should serve as a prototype in the industry,
• How fitness professionals can connect and collaborate with clinicians – how to be successfully proactive,
• And the importance of “cradle to grave” fitness.
It’s always worth your time to learn from the best, so I hope you enjoy our conversation!
