Скачать или смотреть Steven Hicks talks about being a fitness coach and the road to his unique blend of fitness coaching

In this episode of At the Redline Podcast, Alec Gonzales sits down with Stephen Hicks of Thriving Body Holistic Fitness. Stephen shares his Spokane roots, his athletic background, and the knee injury that forced him to rethink everything. After months of bed rest and a complete reset of his physical capacity, Stephen realized fitness is not about pushing the body to the limits. It is about being capable of who you want to be and sharing life with the people you love.
Stephen also talks honestly about his faith journey, doubt, and how his worldview shifted toward a religious naturalism shaped by his fascination with the human body and the patterns that unite life. He explains his two origin stories as a coach, his critique of convenience as a hidden driver of poor health, and why he works best with people who want confidence, energy, less pain, and more joy even if fitness is not their top priority.
Stephen closes with a practical vision for 2026 rooted in the Michelangelo effect: seeing more in people and helping them become what is already inside them.
