Dr Jordan Metzl Iron Strength Workout

John:

Hello everyone. This is John and Cindy with Heart Speak. We’re here with Chris on the Intrepid on June 24, 2024, with Dr Jordan Metzl who just finished the most phenomenal Iron Work workout. Chris, how are you doing today?

Chris:

I am doing excellent. I am very happy that John and Cindy came down here. My name is Chris Vichiola from Newtown, CT. As John said, I am on the Intrepid on June 24, 2024 with Dr. Jordan Metzl’s Iron Strength workout.

It was a fantastic workout. Intense. You’ve got mixed martial arts, along with aerobics, zoomba, all combined. Dr Jordan Metzl stands by preventive medicine, to help people to stay healthy. He is a world-renowned surgeon. I can’t say enough of how fantastic that Jordan Metzl offers these events for free. He gives back to the community.

John:

Now, you’ve been coming how many years now?

Chris:

Twelve years.

John:

Why do you keep coming?

Chris:

I believe in staying healthy. I am a basketball player. I play on the professional basketball tournaments, Rutger Park, West Fourth Street, in the summer leagues, and I’ve got to be able to run up and down the courts.

I’m not that young as I used to be, but I can still outrun 15 and 16 year olds on the basketball court.

John:

Now, I notice, Chris, that you know all the leaders that run this place. You know Gisselle. She is the number one person that worked for Dr. Metzl.

Chris:

Yes, Gisselle is the assistant to Dr. Jordan Metzl.

John:

I guess that is years and years of you being part of this.

Chris:

Yes, absolutely. I’ve traveled to all his events throughout NYC. Central Park; he runs 5K’s and 10K’s. He has events all over the place. I’ve been with him inside the United Nations many times, where we are teaching other countries the Iron Strength Workout.

John:

What would you say the average age of the people today was?

Chris:

Maybe about 30 years old average age. But there are senior citizens here. And that’s one thing that I really need to communicate to the senior citizens is that you need to stay healthy and stay fit. And really, you shouldn’t stay in one area. You should expand yourself and build yourself throughout the many events that are offered to you for free.

John:

You introduced me to Maggie. I would say that Maggie is one of the senior citizens here.

Chris: She is. She lives in Manhattan. Maggie goes to all the events. She used to work for ABC. No, she works for the Met. She’s about 71 years old. She is very, very athletic. She comes to all of Dr. Jordan Metzl’s events.

And I want to communicate this, as John and Cindy know, especially to the Newtown Senior Center, to the senior citizens that attend there. I always tell them there is so much out there to learn, and you need to investigate and not restrict yourself to Newtown, CT.

You want to get out and meet new people. You want to deter Alzheimer’s disease with clear thinking and meeting new people, keeping the mind busy, keeping the mind moving. And when you meet new people, it builds friendships. They can help you. They may have something to offer to you that you would need. And maybe you can offer something to them.

John:

I think that’s the secret of this. This community that you have going to for 12 years, people know each other, they see each other. I see young people inspiring older people, and older people inspiring younger people.

Chris:

John and Cindy, this is your first time at Dr. Jordan Metzl’s Iron Strength Workout, and I’m sure you met some new people and made new connections. You networked with Dr. Jordan Metzl, a world-famous sports surgeon. I know you going to be interviewing him, and you will be interviewing Gisselle, and you’re going to be coming to more of these events. And that you communicate this to the Newtown Senior Center.

John:

We started Heart Speak to empower and inspire people. You’re right. I met you at the Newtown Senior Center and I like that you are pushing this because Dr. Jordan Metzl is inspiring a lot of people. And I think you do, too.
