Rebuilding Strength, Flexibility and Energy with Jason Gagne

Most fitness programs are designed for people who are already in shape — but what about everyone else? In this episode of Finding Freedom, host John welcomes back certified personal trainer and health coach Jason Gagne, creator of the Good to Go Body 90-day program, built specifically for people starting from scratch. Jason shares his remarkable personal story of rebuilding his body after a series of childhood surgeries that left him bedridden for years, and how that experience shaped a training philosophy rooted in patience, flexibility, and consistency over intensity. The two dig into why flexibility — not strength — is the key to feeling young again, why men typically need a "scare" before they take their health seriously, and how small daily habits compound into transformational results. Whether you wake up stiff, can't remember the last time you exercised, or just want to move without pain, this conversation will meet you exactly where you are.
