In this episode, Piet and Emylee sit down with Carlos, a member of the Pharos mentorship program, to talk about the real journey behind building a fitness lifestyle that lasts.</p><p><br></p><p>Carlos came to Pharos as a curious beginner. He went all in on his first six-week challenge, burned out, and didn't come back for six months. Sound familiar? When he returned, he had one simple ask — hold me accountable to showing up three days a week. That's it.</p><p><br></p><p>What happened over the next 12 weeks changed everything. Body fat down. Muscle mass up. A shoulder that went from a 7/10 pain to a 3. And more importantly — a completely new identity. Carlos is now the kind of person who schedules gym time before social plans, who walks to the gym, who shows up in spite of how he feels.</p><p><br></p><p>We talk about:</p><p><br></p><ul><li>Why going all in is often the worst thing you can do</li><li>The bare minimum philosophy and why it actually creates more results</li><li>Overcoming gym apprehension and imposter syndrome</li><li>How body recomposition works when the scale doesn't move</li><li>The mental shift that separates people who stick with it from those who don't</li><li>What the Pharos mentorship program actually looks like week to week</li></ul><p><br></p><p>This one is for anyone who has started and stopped, who thinks the gym isn't for them, or who just needs someone to say — you're worth showing up for.</p><p>If you're interested in the Pharos mentorship program, DM us or visit jointhepac.fit to learn more.</p><p><br></p><p>Thanks for listening, don’t forget to follow, subscribe, like and share—we really appreciate it!</p><h3><br></h3><p>💪 Join the 7-Day Results Accelerator to build clarity, momentum, and sustainable joy in your routine. <a href=\"https://open.acast.com/networks/64144683189a64001171dca1/shows/5db093163380c203598a83c8/episodes/pharosathleticclub.com\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">pharosathleticclub.com</a></p><p><br></p><p>If you are in Southern California come train with us&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p><a href=\"https://pharosechopark.com/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Echo Park</a></p><p><a href=\"https://www.pharosredondo.com/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Redondo Beach</a></p><p><a href=\"https://pharosidyllwild.com/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Idyllwild</a></p><p><a href=\"https://pharospalmsprings.com/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Palm Springs</a></p><p><br></p><p>Follow Pharos, <a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/pieter_vodden?igsh=YWdsaGtrZGNlaXI4\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Piet</a> and <a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/emyleevodden?igsh=YmI0YzVuZTl3N3U=\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Emylee</a> on <a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/pharosechopark/?hl=en\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Instagram</a> for more fitness related content.</p>","author_name":"Pharos Echo Park"}
