Interview with Joe DeFranco


Written by

Anyone who is in the business of training athletes has probably been influenced in one way or another by Joe DeFranco. Juggernaut owner Chad Wesley Smith made what at the time amounted to a religious pilgrimage to DeFranco’s warehouse gym nearly 5.5 years ago while still in college and this trip was like lighter fluid on his fire to create Juggernaut. In a recent trip to New Jersey, he sits down with Joe DeFranco to discuss running a gym, the evolution of Westside for Skinny Bastards, speed training, mobility and more!
