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 34: Micah Shoemaker / 205 Throwdown Competition, Brute Fitness and a decade of lessons along the way.

March 14, 2023 • Luan

After dropping out of college, Micah moved to North Carolina to chase a dream: to open and operate a fitness facility. Looking back at his decade in the industry, we reflect on the lessons learned and how that lead to the creation of the 205 Throwdown (a four person team fitness competition geared to provide the best experience for ALL levels of competition to include Rx, Scaled and Masters athletes).

Luan and Micah also announce their partnership together for 205 Throwdown, as they strive to offer up an incredible competition option for Birmingham athletes and neighboring communities in the Southeast.

Micah is now coach to some of Crossfit's top level athletes and hosts his own podcast with Brute Strength.

Sign up now for this years competition taking place on August 12th, 2023 at the Bill Harris Arena.
