Faith, Fitness, and Redemption: How Everett Miner Found His Calling in Helping Others

Raising The Grade

On this episode of Raising the Grade, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Everett Miner, the owner of Miner Fitness, for his very first podcast appearance and let me just say, he absolutely crushed it. Everett’s story is raw, inspiring, and a true testament to resilience. From growing up in Connecticut struggling with self-image to finding his faith and turning his life around in Arizona, Everett shares how he’s transformed not only his own life but also the lives of his clients.
We dove into his passion for fitness as a path to self-improvement, why he created Miner Fitness, and the unique approach he takes with his clients that sets him apart from the rest. Everett’s commitment to building personalized programs and helping others reach their full potential is unmatched. We also explored the challenges that shaped him including battles with concussions, heartbreak, and finding purpose through faith.
If you’re looking for a conversation filled with heart, humor (we even talk pizza, naturally), and motivation to tackle life’s obstacles, this episode is a must-listen.
