In this episode of Kicks & Convoys, Coach Dion sits down with Jason Garner, CEO of Max Fitness Powered by GarnerFit, for a conversation that goes far beyond sneakers. Jason shares how his love for kicks started with the iconic Air Jordan 11, why sneakers represent more than style, and the stories behind favorites like KG’s Air Max Tempos and the classic white Air Force 1. From sneaker culture to mindset, this episode explores how the shoes we wear can reflect who we are, where we come from, and the greatness we strive for. The conversation also dives into Jason’s journey from Louisiana to South Carolina, his experience as a multi-sport athlete at Mauldin High School and Guilford College, and the lessons football taught him about discipline, leadership, preparation, and embracing the grind. As the CEO of Max Fitness Powered by GarnerFit, Jason discusses the purpose behind his work in fitness, athlete development, and wellness. After working in health care and seeing the effects of preventable health challenges firsthand, he became committed to helping people build healthier, stronger lives before they reach a crisis point. His approach goes beyond workouts—focusing on movement, nutrition, recovery, sleep, accountability, and intentional programming. Jason also shares the vision for Max Fitness Powered by GarnerFit, a community-driven fitness experience designed to serve student-athletes, adults over 50, first responders, and anyone ready to improve their lifestyle. The mission is simple: create a space where people can train with purpose, build confidence, and become the best version of themselves. From entrepreneurship and family to resilience, legacy, and the “be a dog” mentality, this is a powerful conversation for athletes, business owners, parents, and anyone working toward something bigger.
