On the Metric Mate Minute Podcast, we cover leaders from all over the world telling you about how they do what they do, why they do what they do and how staying fit keeps them in their best mindset. Let's go.
M-T:
What's going on, family? Man, welcome to another Metric Mate Minute Podcast. This is your boy Brother M-T. And as always, I bring you all the best. I don't know if y'all can see this from every other week, bro, but I try my damnest to bring out the best people on this podcast, to give you the real, give you the scoop, give you the gems sprinkling all over the place, man. And this week is no different man. Ferson Stafford, great guy, amazing trainer. Out here changing lives, changing bodying, changing everybody's attitude and mood about the way that they feel the move. ... I had to get this guy on the podcast, man. We just talked about some of this stuff earlier. He was giving me the lowdown on where everything's going up. But I always get into this. I want to give you all the scoop on my people, bro. But I know because I'm humble you know, you might not be able to tell from my voice and my energy, but I'm a humble guy. I know that I can not give you what these people do the way that they can. Man, so Ferson, appreciate you, brother, for joining us. Man, we're always appreciative of all of our guests. And you are no different, bro, because you could have been anywhere right now, but you decided to be with the community, drop a little bit on the community, let them know a little bit about you and what you do and why you're so awesome.
Ferson Stafford:
Thank you so much, man. Definitely, a blessing to be here. I didn't want to start with that man. I'm excited to be here, man. And that opportunity I had to jump on. So, yeah, man, real quick about me, man. So my name is Ferson Stafford, costarred on a Legacy Fit located here in Atlanta, Georgia. I'm out training ED clients. Also, I'm a certified weight loss specialist. So if I glute so I trained both virtually and in person. My passion is integrating the mental, emotional and physical aspects to help an individual meet their fitness goal. So that means essentially take them on the journey. I'm just going to include teaching them how to motivate themselves, helping to motivate themselves, creating healthy and sustainable habits and doing individual culture program for them, it may include body sculpting, weight loss, glute training, ... Or agility, whatever that may be. So yeah, man, I'm here in Atlanta. I just like to see people grow, man, mentally, physically, emotionally, all it.
M-T:
Love it, love it. The butt and glutes specialist. But let's let our know what it is he's certified and help you pull that thing together. That's what we're talking about. I love it. I love it, man. So you've seen a lot of individuals come through. We talked a little bit about you playing ball and on the collegiate ranks and being able to come through and your involvement with the leagues that are popping up all over Atlanta, man, and women's football is making a huge, huge push to be a part of the landscape athletic landscape. Man, we saw the stuff about Sandhiya getting her million-dollar contract, coming out with the shoes, shout out to Sandhiya, trying to get you on the podcast for a while. So you need the holler at me. But how has women's football and everything that they're doing changed over the years, or what do you see going on in the future for them?
Ferson Stafford:
Yeah, man. So first and foremost, man, given women, the notion I mean, let's just put it out there, that we can do everything to make it. You know, I have daughters. My daughters see me training women playing football and they trying to get out there. Everyone in drills. They're moving around and things like that, man. So definitely putting everything in his proper place ultimately is this is the way I see it, man, because that's the way things should be. So it's definitely put into perspective for everyone. Man, these women can do some amazing things, man. They can do some amazing things. They go into, they work hard, they grind, they sweat, and so they should be paid to play the game that they love to play is just that simple.
M-T:
Just that simple. Man, changing the narrative, changing the perspective, like you said, trying to see something different. Man. I mean, WNBA definitely change the landscape of basketball. I've been following them since the beginning. A shout out to the Atlanta dream for being so conscious, aware and active and everything that's going on and being able to who I was out there, Notre Dame playing with the basketball team with Skylar Big as first came around Notre Dame, Bro, they would whoop us up every day. It was embarrassing. You know what I'm saying. And I'm not saying I'm LeBron James, but, ..., I didn't want to get embarrassed like that so I could definitely see something coming into the professional football ranks, even if it's just a women's league where women compete against other women and show that they have the concept that is gladiators for under control. Man, what do you see as the future of this ward? Do you see it getting bigger and growing and being able to have more people access it and stay fit and stay in charge going through here? Where, what do you see?
Ferson Stafford:
Yeah, so I can definitely see the sport growing for women, man. What I'm hearing, they're starting to get into it, into the NCAA level, women's flag football. From from entrepreneurial standpoint, but also getting into the actual NCAA to where there are part of the turnaround process and things like that. So these women can be adequately developed and taught the game because a lot of them are known in the game at their current age or they know what they know from watching at a young age and being told a little bit about it here and there. But to be able to help them, to groom them so that they can compete at those high levels. But it's definitely coming is kind of.
M-T:
Yo, that's real talk. That's real talk. So we've all been dealing with this pandemic. We've all been dealing with a changing in the evolving world is going on out here. And I'm pretty sure that personal training and physical fitness is the same. You know, people figuring out how to work out at home, people not necessarily going to the gym as much. How has that affected you and everything that you've been doing as far as being at the ATL Fitness?
Ferson Stafford:
So it's definitely pushed me to do more online training as I mentioned before on virtual and in person. I have a ton of online clients now, specifically because of the pandemic and the idea of quarantine and things like that is definitely got my creative juices flowing. And so for me, I was raised in Alabama and fitness wasn't like a big thing, but I love to workout. So ultimately you can put me in a jungle and I'll find a way to work out. So for me, man, I get really excited about being able to help my clients use what they have at home to try and whip. Right now I'm doing I have a post on my Instagram and I'm doing it every single week, just showing you different workouts using one piece of equipment. So it could be a foam role. It could be, you know. Well, my auntie bought me a resistance band two years ago. I don't know how to use it until I got to the gym. I got it could be a bouncing ball. It could be whatever you have at home. So really got me being creative and finding different ways to teach individuals to use what they have at home. I like it in that regard. I definitely miss a lot of the person-to-person stuff, you know with my athletes I still do a lot of, you know person-to-person things like that, still trying to remain softly decent and wear a mask and things of that sort. It's definitely moved a lot of trainers to the online space. So I would definitely say that it's made access to trainers are more available to more people because before the pandemic you had some people going online. But now it's a thing like now a lot of training are moving to strictly online. So if you think about the scope of the Internet, we can have access to anybody around the world. So if you, trainers on a platform and they mess with you, you have you, have to be around the world and with them every single day.
M-T:
True. True. That's real. That's real. Everybody's got a remote. Everybody's figuring out this electronic medium that's allowing people to be able to communicate in each other and share information. And this is one of the big reasons why Metric Mate came into existence. Shout out Metric Mate, check us out at TheMetricMate.com, shameless plug every time you already know what to do, but that's why we came in, is to be able to give people access to this training level of efficiency and of efficacy to the workouts without necessarily having to be in the same place, because even before the pandemic, people were moving around, We were flying all over the place. We had a business meetings here and there. So you might not be able to keep up with being able to move forward towards your fitness goals, And Metric Mate has definitely allowed me to be able to change the way that I move and I do my workouts and I get my fitness so I can say that I'm pretty good in the fitness space, you know what I'm saying. I'm doing my thing. I'm a get a trainer eventually when I want to actually hit no say in the eight pack, I started a six-pack. I'll try to get the two right now. But as I was saying two to four to six. I mean you say I get a little push to go six to eight, but it's a progress, Slow progress, slow process. Oh, but for the folks out there that are looking to get into their fitness regimen and move forward and become better at being a more fit and healthy person, where should they start? What are your suggestions on where they should start or the questions they should ask trainers if they want to get a trainer?
Ferson Stafford:
Cool, cool, man. Yeah. So to answer the first part, man, I always tell people somewhere. So, they ask me where to start. I say somewhere and all that means is, is to begin by taking steps, by taking a step. And the first one could be realizing that I can't do this by myself or I don't have the knowledge or the motivation to do this on my own. That's totally OK. That's perfectly fine. So being able to have that conversation with yourself in the mirror, that self-awareness is a really, really, really great place to start. You know, being able to say, ok, this is who I am, this is what I'm doing, this is what's working, this is not working, will help you to determine what you actually need. There is a lot of times I have clients come to me and tell me what they need and what they want to do with things like that. And then when we have a conversation, we figure out the motivation and we figure out what they know, what they've done before, what they haven't done before. It begins kind of shift. So to start with having that conversation with yourself. Having a decent understanding of what your current habits are, for a lot of people is about consistency. So the New Year, the new year just went by. Of course, you see a lot of posts on social media and people talking about New Year's resolution, New Year, New Me. I want to get it to the gym this year and in all that good stuff, what essentially boils down to is consistency. So habits become heuristics. So thinking about the things that I do habitually eventually become a rule of thumb for me and the way that I live my life without even thinking about it. So I first have to realize what my current habits are. I know myself and I know that if I hadn't made my lunch for, you know before I go to work and I probably stop at the McDonald's by the job or I know that if I haven't done it by Sunday, then I'm not going to do so. Understanding my habits helps me to do some things, to put some things in place that can, then so I can actually make some changes. But if I'm walking around blind to what my habits are and thinking that I got this under control when I really don't, then this is going to be difficult for me to, I'll constantly be in that New Year New Me mindset every single year and haven't really met my goals yet. So for a person that is looking to get a personal trainer, man, ideally a trainer is definitely an investment. So you definitely want to ask questions about the person that you want to figure out what type of person they are. You want to be a mesh. I've encountered a ton of clients that went through personal training and it was a horrible experience for them and now they don't work out anymore. Or now I'm on your last audit ... to the fitness realm or whatever the case may be. So making sure it's a good fit personally, figuring out what they do, who they work with. If I'm a person that's constantly traveling, businessman constantly moving around, things like that, then I want a trainer that's used to working with clients that they have a difficult schedule, a trainer that's used to program at this thing for people always going out of town or not. But things like that, as opposed to getting the trainer that, may be used to working with someone who has a ton of time and helping them figure out what to do with the idle time is very important. So figuring out what their niche is, figuring out where they specialize is extremely important. Also talking to a trainer, if, you want the trainee to be able to say, I don't know, sometimes. As trainers, we have different specializations, different things like that. I have a nutrition certification. I am not a registered dietitian. So there are certain things that I will not do. or, these sort of things I'll you. I don't know when it comes to your nutrition or meal prep or things like that. And that's OK. But you're going to issues when you have the trainers that say they know everything and not to give you all this bad information and now you've got this trainer that's gonna give you this bad information. You got a bad taste in your mouth and now you don't want to train anymore. Definitely. Their personality, a specialization, figuring out if it's a good fit for you. Figuring out what they're good at if that works for you if they're able to use what you have and try. So, yeah
M-T:
Dope, that's real. That's real. And you really. But if y'all ain't catching those jewels right there, right here, he's dropping some mad knowledge right there, man. Got to have somebody in a professional mindset and in a professional standpoint, that can tell you when you're outside of your wheelhouse. Is it like you say, there's a lot of folks out there that would be like, yeah, yeah, I got that. And if start giving you bad information, it's like the guy in the street that's giving you the directions is like, you know how to get there. You have to what you're going to do is going to go down to the varsity. You go hit that right. And you go hit that left of the highway and you will go down about two Xs. And now you over there on the south side, I don't know where you are. You don't hit trying to get the ..., you know what I'm saying, but you don't know where you going, but you want to feel like you know what you're doing and everybody runs into people that are like that. But when it comes to your health, your wellness, your abilities, being able to increase your happiness, that's not something that you really want to run into because that's how you get injured. That's how you end up messing around and having some type of reaction to some food they told you about because it's not necessarily built for you or what you're trying to do or didn't ask the right questions to better understand what it is that you can handle and what you can't handle. And now you out here with a torn ligament or a poor muscle or something because somebody wants to act like they know everything when in actuality everybody doesn't know, everything. And that's why it takes a team of people to get it right.

Ferson Stafford:
I have some clients now that know, no, I had a ton of clients, it would be very difficult for me to work with. You have some people that need a little bit more time with you, or they need a little bit more attention to detail. So if you have a client list, no, if you have a trainer that has, you know, forty-five, fifty different plans and it's going to be difficult for them to program something specifically for you.
M-T:
That's real. That's real, mate. Your habits become your heuristic Man. I'm keeping that. I ain't gonna do nothing with it because they're yours and I respect the boundaries of everybody. But if you, if I were capable of my own, it would be on a t-shirt somewhere where you got to make the happen. I love it. I love it. So, man, you are involved in fitness. That is a part of what you do as a profession, man, and as a person. That's what you've always been interested in, as you said earlier. So how has maintaining a fit mind, body and spirit, because you said that's how you want to interact with your customers. I know that that's something that's a part of your daily life. How has that helped you continue to grow, be an awesome leader and affect change and so many people here?
Ferson Stafford:
So like I mentioned before, my mental health is my thing like this. That's my baby man. I am three hours away from a master's degree and counting like this. That's my baby. That's my thing.
M-T:
Oh, clap up, clap up for that, brother. Three hours away. Man, heck yeah, do that man do that.
Ferson Stafford:
Yes. So it's always been my passion. That and Fitness. So really for me, man, being able to find a way to integrate the two, being able to find a way to integrate the two. God has certainly put me in a position to be able to integrate the two and initially I didn't know what was going on or why things like that. But my two loves having to find each other. Man is beautiful. So for me, man, like I said, I play college football, at UAB. I walked on a UAB man. That's why my slogan's walk-on mentality man is a mindset. I walked on a UAB, I was good enough to have offers and things like that. I didn't get the schools I wanted, man. Long story short, I walked on UAB, I knew I deserved to play B1 football, and I did that. I walked on to earn a scholarship, I earned ... The ball and things like that. I worked really hard for and my junior year, I freshen my neck, my junior year I freshen my neck man. So I went through this bout of depression, man. So I'm going through this, later, I found out is, you know, I was going to do a role in golf, man because if you ask anybody during the time, you know, who are you? What do you do? I'll play football. College football. Like so proud that, that was on my highest of priorities. And so to have that taken away from me, man, it really took me to a really, really, really bad place mentally. But it wasn't until I was able to fall back in love with fitness and, you know and get out of my own way. That allows me to see a way out of it. And so I want to be able to help individuals to continue to find themselves through fitness because ultimately fitness isn't just about the aesthetic aspect of it. I like to say that the aesthetic aspect is attractive. But the emotional part of it is the adhesive. So when people come to me and they say, well, I will lose thirty pounds, I want to do this, I want to do this, then I'm asking okay you want to lose thirty pounds, why? Well, my son's grown up and he's getting old, oh OK, why? Well, I want to be running around with him, you know why? Well my dad lost his life at age forty-five due to a heart condition and so you really get down into the middle of it and when you do that then you find that thing is going to keep them motivated. You find it, you find that one thing is going to keep them motivated as opposed to the numbers goal or weight goal is going to be fleeting. At the moment of, at the moment that it gets difficult and things like that is kind of hard to attach to that because it's a no, it's leading. And you constantly comparing to something only you help the individual to find out their real reason like you're going to find out there why that's when they become sticky. That's when they go the extra mile. That's when they start focusing on habits, habits. Habits. Habits. Habits. creating heuristics, creating a lifestyle. So for me, man, I found it. I'm doing my training in school and also just my personality. I'm very good at finding motivation, finding patterns. This doesn't work. Let's try this. Let's see if this is going to motivate you. Let's do this work out to date is going to be really, really, really tough. And I know this is going to be tough for you and it's going to be a reference point. Then when you leave here, you go to your job and it's so stressful that you can say, man, I did. Today is going to be tough. But I remember the other day when I had to be on an assault by a team in the street, I thought I was going to die and I didn't die, you know, so, so, so find a way to create those reference points for individuals to help them through life, not just through fitness, if that makes any sense.
M-T:
100 percent. Man, 100 percent. I know your why is something that that you hear in every aspect of life, bro. You got to know why you're doing it, not just, oh, I'm trying to get to this right now or I'm trying to get this aesthetically pleasing piece right now because I know where in your core, in the inside of your insides does it mean something? Otherwise, you wouldn't be taking this action just for the top. You're taking this action for something a lot deeper than what you're actually given to me right now. And if we can find that, then, like you said, that emotional part is the glue, you know, as an aesthetic is cool, is the attraction it brings in. Is like I am and I want to get in my chest a little big and want to get going my six-pack going. It was like, yeah, but why are you actually putting the effort into this? It was like yeah, that an emotional part, that's to stay in power.
Ferson Stafford:
I've been ... Or my you know, my self-esteem is low. No, you know, so I said getting to that part, like getting them in to get them out. And so you have to have a trainer that it's OK with going there. It doesn't have to be a therapy session or anything like that. I definitely do what you qualify for. And there's somebody to invest in, somebody that you ask him to help you stay motivated. So definitely being able to have that conversation. That's why I say the personality fit is so important. There are some people that are uncomfortable having some conversations with, there are some people I'm not comfortable having those conflicts with. And that's OK. That's OK, because it's my choice. So being able to model those healthy boundaries for my clients, being able to see that window where my client has self-doubt and to be able to jump in and jump back out, just sort of, just to sort of how to pull themselves out of it and not do it for them. Oh you got this you know, you got this or you know, or cliche's to be able to do the kind of similar to the whole butterfly in the cocoon thing to do, to be able to watch them struggle just enough to grow, you know, help them with deformities or what struggle just not to continue to grow. That's what I'm here for.
M-T:
Bro, love it, man. Hey, sprinkling jewels, all through this thing. If you're not catching some diamonds, if you're not catching some emeralds to this day man to help you live a better life, bro, I don't know what else we could do for you. That's all we really striving for here to Metric Mate Podcast is to give you the opportunity to learn and be better. And my boy Ferson is out here dropping them today bro. Like pull them up, dig them up, put them in your knapsack, take them with you for a rainy day. There. There you go. So you get over shout it boy. Get to it, man. I love it. I love it, brother. Dude, you've been given a lot of great information, but I ask all my guests for is one and the reason I have for it at the end is that they got to put a little bit of thought into this. You've done so much, you've seen so much, you've experienced so much from your playing days and now your training days and the transitions and movements all in between, if you had to give one piece of advice, one big old, Boogum, McFarlin for head size gem, that you could drop on everybody, you could just give to everybody that kind of sums up what it means to go through trials, go through tribulations, come out on the, On the top side and continue to be a leader. What's that one major jewel you could drop on the community?
Ferson Stafford:
Oh, man. OK, so I'm a psychology nerd. So one of my guys is Viktor Frankl. He has a book called Man's Searching for Meaning. He survived the Holocaust, of course. Of course. During that he saw a lot of people. He lost his family. He saw his family die like a lot of them all around. Great stuff. But the thing that allowed him to survive, you know, to not to persevere through and things like that was finding meaning in it. And so I would encourage everyone to find meaning in your circumstances. So for me, with the, you know when I got injured and things like that, football was what I wanted. Football was what I wanted for me. And, you know, my God, allowed me to do that. He allowed me to do it. And it wasn't his purpose for me. He allowed me to do it. And through that, I met a lot of people, through that got free education. I got a lot of stuff out by him allowing me to do that. But after I got hurt, I got stuck and million things like that and finding physical fitness and finding the meaning of my circumstances helped pull me out of it, helped to keep me going and things like that. So sometimes it looks like having open your eyes, having to open your ears, you know, I know for me a lot of things I ask for, it was certainly A one-way conversation, he goes like, yo, this is what I want make it happen and ignore all the signs. I would definitely ignore all the signs around me saying the same way I want it to be, things like that. So for me is definitely being able to have that conversation with myself, with my higher power, and then be able to discern the meaning between certain things. Is going to save a lot of time a lot of injuries, I can definitely say, I'm thirty-one and I wasted a lot of time and a lot of energy on things that didn't have a purpose or there wasn't or they weren't directed towards my goal. So being OK with being where you are, being true to yourself and they benefit me.
M-T:
There it is. I mean, any circumstances that. I ain't got enough of that is the realest thing, that is the realest thing, bro. I might actually take that with myself as well. Find meaning in your circumstances. Ferson, appreciate you, brother. This has been an outstanding interview, man. I know the community is going to be able to pull something out of even if they did pull that last one to pull the meaning out of your circumstances. And looking at everything that happens to you as a, a path towards where you supposed to be instead of a sticking point, a quicksand to pull you down, brother, that. Bruh, like I said, I'm taking that with me as well. That's awesome, that's awesome. Ferson, tell the community where they can find you, where they can keep up with you, where they can find out more about what you're doing and everything that you've got going on in the Atlanta community.
