WHEELHOUSE RADIO

Working in the fitness industry since 2001, Luan Nguyen runs Wheelhouse Academy, a Strength & Conditioning gym in Birmingham, AL. Wheelhouse Academy was born out of the notion of building a supportive community that empowers people to learn the benefits of exercising the right way, teaching its members to balance the intensity of their workouts for maximum performance when it is needed most. Gyms should be inclusive and provide positive energy all cultivated through the social support of the community and staff. With this aim, we have attracted a group of incredibly supportive members who lift each other up and empower one another to work harder and smarter. Wheelhouse Radio is a dive into the lives of these individuals. To learn their stories, learn about their "wheelhouse" and what they do to stay on top. Of course we will have topics on fitness, strength building, olympic weightlifting, nutrition, recovery as well as community event specific to the academy.

Ep 28: Whammys Flashback / Behind The Scenes

June 16, 2022 • Luan

This episode takes us back to earlier this year when the Whammys (our annual celebration/party) was just an idea. Should we try to resurrect an event that died during the pandemic? Could we pull it off? How do we pull it off?

This is such a special and important event for our community but I knew that our team was spread thin on the logistics side of event planning at the moment. Naturally I leaned on great friends Nick Pihakis (Pihakis Restaurant Group) and Tina Liollio (Local Link Bham) we we somehow put on the event of the year for our community.

This episode takes us back as we got together to chat about all things leading up to the event. And now we cant wait for next year!
