At ACTIVATE FitCon 2024, we had the honour of hearing Brandon Peacock share his powerful story — one marked by resilience, grit, and the kind of mindset that redefines limits.

After being shot as an innocent bystander just a few years ago, Brandon was told he may never walk again.

Tomorrow, he runs the Ottawa IRONMAN.

That’s the definition of perseverance. That’s what happens when the human spirit refuses to give up. That is the power of FITNESS.

GO BRANDON! The entire ACTIVATE community is behind you. 💪🔥

The fitness world is shifting - and if you’re a coach, trainer, or wellness enthusiast, these are the trends redefining the way we move, recover, and connect:

1. Strength is the New Standard
Strength training is no longer optional - it’s essential for longevity, metabolic health, and confidence, especially for women 40+. It’s not just how you look - it’s how you live.

2. Coaching > Just Training & Classes
Clients want more than workouts - they want strategy, structure, and real-life integration. Coaches who guide lifestyle, mindset, and behaviour change will lead.

3. Mental Fitness & Nervous System Support
Mindset, stress management, and emotional awareness are critical to success. Nervous system regulation isn’t a trend - it’s a necessity.

4. Recovery as a Ritual
Cold plunges, saunas, red light therapy, sound baths, sleep tracking, mobility flows - recovery tools are now part of the performance equation.

5. Social Fitness
Community-based training is thriving. Group workouts, walking clubs, hybrid meetups - it’s about belonging, accountability, and fun. People stick when they feel connected.

6. Personalized Protocols
Gone are the cookie-cutter plans. From goal specific to wearable data, people want coaching that reflects their biology and lifestyle.

7. Connection Over Algorithms
We’re seeing a return to real conversations, face-to-face events, and authentic relationships. People want meaningful engagement - not just endless content.

What else should we add to the list?

We’re officially in the second half of the year.
And if that made you take a deep breath - good. That’s awareness. Now it’s time for strategy.

💭 What’s been working?
💡 What needs to shift?
📈 Where do you want to be by December?

This is your mid-year audit moment…whether you’re a coach, trainer, educator, or entrepreneur. Don’t just cruise through the rest of 2025 on autopilot.

Here are 5 ways to reset and refocus:
1. Revisit your goals — are they still aligned or do they need refining?
2. Block focused time each week to work on your business, not just in it.
3. Get rid of the noise — eliminate distractions or offers that don’t align with your mission.
4. Invest in your growth — training, systems, support. It matters more now than ever.
5. Reconnect with your community — real conversations, not just content.

🎯 The second half can be your most aligned, strategic, and fulfilling yet.

Let’s ACTIVATE it.

Ever wonder why some fitness professionals build long-lasting careers while others burn out?

It’s about connection, adaptability, and mindset.

🔹 Burned-out trainers focus only on sessions and hustle without boundaries.
🔹 Thriving professionals build relationships, diversify their income, and set long-term goals.

Signs you’re on the right path:
✔️ You have a support system of mentors and peers.
✔️ You continue learning beyond certifications.
✔️ You align your career with what energizes you.
✔️ You invest in business and leadership skills, not just training.

If you’ve ever felt like “just a trainer”… you’re not alone.

But here’s the truth:

You are a coach. A leader. A catalyst for change.
What separates trainers from transformational coaches?

🔹 Strategy over sessions
🔹 Listening over lecturing
🔹 Coaching the person, not just the plan

At ACTIVATE Academy, we build coaches who:
✔️ Lead with empathy
✔️ Ask better questions
✔️ Help clients change their lives—not just their bodies

Coaching is a craft. Let’s treat it that way.
