You asked, we listened! We are bringing back Karlton Meadows for another Gasparilla Overload!

From Birth Defect, Braces and being told I would fail the swim test to becoming one of the 1st Fitness Instructors for Navy SEAL Support and an Industrial Sports Medicine Professional. I am a master at optimizing health and ensuring that you can enjoy every aspect of your successful life to the fullest.

Athleticism did not come easy for me; a birth defect had my tiny feet imprisoned in braces. I outgrew those braces only to become a hostage in a weak, scrawny, sickly and skinny body. I understand 1st-hand how challenging it is to create a successful fitness program. Resilience helped me conquer my childhood adversities and three vehicle-totaling-automobile accidents, forging me into a strong & determined USA Track & Field Silver Medalist at 46 and a 2020 Olympic Hopeful at age 49.

"I empower affluent fathers to cultivate phenomenal physiques, vitality & longevity over the weekend. Spartan ~ Silver Medalist ~ Ironman"

Check out his first episode on the last year's Overload here!
Back in 2021, he also stopped by A Mental Health Break. You can dive into his journey here!
