Anybody that’s been in Pete or rehab in the past, I was trying to figure out how long it’s been since I first spoke to you. And it was 20 years. Yeah, easily.

Today Sandy Webster interviews Peter Twist, MSc, 2013 IDEA Fitness Inspiration Award recipient and 2010 IDEA Program Director of the Year.
Twist has not only helped to shape our industry over the past 25 years, he also has profoundly impacted IDEA’s path and that of countless fitness professionals, clients and athletes. He has been a shining star, mentor and beacon of positive energy. He recently made the monumental decision to close the doors of his successful brick and mortar businesses in Vancouver due in large part to frustrations with COVID-19 restrictions in North America. He speaks candidly about closing this chapter of his career and gives a glimpse of what comes next.
Pete has held many leadership roles in our great industry. In a CV with too many achievements to detail for such a brief intro, here are but a few bullets from his highlights reel:
Pete is a sport scientist, academic researcher, a coach to professional and everday athletes, an author and subject matter expert who has tirelessly shared his knowledge around the globe. He is an entrepreneur, industry disruptor and contrarian. When everyone else is zigging, Twister is almost always ZAGGING. Topping the list of his leadership traits are his boldness to blaze unique paths and his generous spirit. Once he does the heavy lifting and clears the way, he circles back to the trailhead and pulls others along with him. He is a builder of bridges and a true visionary.

In Episode 186, the Two Fit Crazies welcome THE Peter Twist, who is joining the show from his home in beautiful Vancouver, Canada. If you have yet to hear of the amazing Peter Twist, you are in for a HUGE treat! Peter, or Coach Twist, shares his story of growing up in Canada, falling in love with team sports at an early age, and becoming the very first strength and conditioning coach for the NHL. From hockey, to baseball, to tennis, to football, to mountain biking, to skiing, to ocean kayaking, to trail running, Peter was always fascinated with movement. However, after attaining a master’s degree in coaching science, he soon realized that he didn’t want to be a head coach of a sports team, but that he wanted to be a strength and conditioning coach to mold athletes through developing their speed, agility, strength, balance, flexibility and more. Peter was a visionary when it came to understanding the importance of plyometrics and functional exercise to improve the “whole” athlete. Peter discusses the process of turning his dreams into a reality through his determination and mindset practices that not only landed him the job as the first NHL strength and conditioning coach, but also a “cancer crusher.” It is no wonder that Peter Twist is a highly coveted world-renowned speaker whose resilience and passion for changing lives is unparalleled. Be on the lookout for Peter Twist’s upcoming books and continuing education courses! He may just convince you to “get out of your own mind and into your heart….and that the best form of wealth is being enriched.”
Enjoy!
