Justin Blackburn is Jerry Blackburn’s twin brother.

In this episode of the Go To The Gym Podcast, the Blackburn twins sit down to talk about fitness, business, family, and growing up together.

Jerry owns 13 fitness studio locations across Blackburn Athletics and Blackburn Pilates, while Justin specializes in semi-private training in La Prairie.

Justin spent 15 years working at Costco. Stable job, good retirement plan, repetitive work, safe future. But eventually he decided to leave that security behind and take the risk of starting his own fitness business.

The brothers talk about conflict, ambition, fitness culture, entrepreneurship, and what it’s really like building careers in the industry.

Usually the Go To The Gym Podcast is entirely in French, but because the Blackburn brothers naturally speak to each other in English, this is officially our first English episode.
