Weekly Episode Tie-In
This episode hits at the core of what training is supposed to be about. Not just sets and reps — but intent, belief, environment, and commitment. The Insider Program is built on this exact idea: structure matters, but meaning is what makes people actually show up.


Today’s guest is Jin Mikami, owner of Uplift Strength Center.

Jin ran a full five-day Jay Schroeder–based isometric program for six months straight — not just for physical results, but to rewire belief patterns, process grief, and reconnect with purpose. What started as a training experiment turned into a deeply personal journey involving forgiveness, family, and redefining why we move at all.

We get into neurological belief reprogramming, pairing visual imagery with isometrics, the mental cost of rigid programs, why commitment still matters in an age of auto-regulation, and how community-driven gyms may be the future as AI floods the fitness space with perfect but meaningless programs.

This is a long-form conversation about training, coaching, identity, and why belief might matter more than the plan on paper.
