John Gaines on Consistency, Confidence & Fatherhood: From Athlete to “Gains by Gaines”
In this momentum-building conversation, host NeAndre Broussard—founder and CEO of Black Menswear—sits down with trainer and creator John Gaines (aka Gains by Gaines) to unpack how daily habits shape identity, why confidence starts with keeping promises to yourself, and what it really takes to build a body—and life—that lasts.John opens with a mantra that guides his coaching and fatherhood: “You are what you consistently do.” From there, he breaks down the athlete-to-entrepreneur pivot, the power of being coachable, and how “gains mentality” turns small reps into big results that actually stick.We peel back the four layers—appearance, mindset, foundation, and core—while exploring:✨ Consistency > intensity: stacking small wins, training smart, and celebrating incremental progress✨ Making the gym translate to life: discipline, resilience, and keeping your word when no one’s watching✨ Why coachability wins rooms—and opens doors—long before you speak✨ Confidence as a felt experience: how putting in work changes how you walk into any space✨ Sustainable transformation vs. crash fixes: realistic programming, plateaus, and meeting yourself where you are✨ Community over ego: building relationships that refer, retain, and raise your ceiling✨ Fatherhood & co-parenting with intention: leading with love, patience, and example as a #GirlDad✨ Thriving in L.A.: finding your lane, protecting your foundation, and letting opportunity support purposeIf you’re an athlete in transition, a busy parent chasing health, or a builder who wants discipline to show up everywhere—this conversation is your blueprint. Come for practical frameworks on training and mindset—leave ready to chase gains in everything you do.📌 Don’t miss it—this one blends fitness, fatherhood, and fundamentals you can apply today.👍🏾 Like, ✍🏾 comment, and 🔔 subscribe for more culture-driven conversations that pour back into our people.Follow John Gaines:Instagram: instagram.com/gainsbygainesYouTube: youtube.com/@Gainsbygaines2023Follow Black Menswear:Instagram: instagram.com/blackmenswearX / Twitter: x.com/blackmenswearFacebook: facebook.com/BlackMenswearWebsite: blackmenswear.com#JohnGaines #GainsByGaines #BlackMenswear #ConsistencyWins #GainsMentality #Coachable #Fatherhood #GirlDad #SustainableFitness #Discipline #Confidence
