You and I are going to drink a lot of coffee together. Like, borderline dangerous amounts of coffee.
So, first things first. Pour yourself a mug and I’ll introduce myself real quick.
My name’s Jordan - but everyone calls me “J” - and I’m a 27th degree black belt in chugging coffee.
I’m also strength & nutrition coach, I hold several powerlifting world records, and I’ve been fortunate enough to have my writing featured in a variety of outlets like CNN, the Huffington Post, and Schwarzenegger.com.
But listen.
This channel isn’t for fame, publicity, cash, props, fist bumps, likes, pings, pows or whatever else there is.
It’s a place where you and I can chat.
I’ll never sugar coat, lie, or beat around the bush. I’ll tell you everything exactly as I see it. Some stuff you might like. Others you might not.
And that’s totally cool.
Either way, my goal here is to create a discussion. A place where you and I can get together, exchange ideas, and motivate each other to be better every day.
Like I said, we’re gonna drink a lot of coffee together - borderline dangerous amounts - but I’m excited. Because there aren’t too many online communities in which the sole purpose is to inspire and motivate one another.
And that’s exactly what you and I are going to do here.
To your success,
-J

For me personally, the mindset change happened when I accepted that exercise is the celebration of the movement that my body can do rather than a punishment. #sortinghatsquad
Love this Shannon!
So life is suffering no matter what. You can choose to suffer by letting your body decay, dying with shambles, or suffer by building your body up, and dying with something to be proud of. Nice, thank you.
Nice, watched this in bed on IG this morning and kept nodding approvingly :D
#sortinghatsize
Nice i watched this in bed too tho before sleep time😖
With a cup of nice coffee and dark chocolate 😂
I liked your comment so much and asked my wife to press the like button
Istggggg
Who else is glad that Jordan is back on his RUclips grind? #sortinghatsquad
I'm working on a video about how I stay motivated and I just came across this. I gotta say I LOVE the idea you propose, "willfully suffering vs unwillfully suffering". What a great way to think about it.
Love this! Pain from discipline itself vs. pain from the results of lack of discipline.
"Just because it's suffering, doesn't mean you shouldn't do it." - Well said, Jordan. Love your words. Getting out of my warm, comfy bed in the morning is SO hard to do, but it's so dang worth it. #sortinghatsquad
For me the way I learned to stay motivated for everything- working out, learning more, talk to more people, get out of my comfort zone- is to start by building up small good habits. So for example, start making your bed in the morning, start tidying up your apartment or bedroom everyday, brush your teeth twice a day (I used to not do this, don’t feel ashamed just try to fix it) and then work your way up to bigger healthy habits like try to get at least 20 minutes of walking in every day or try to spend at least 15 minutes a day just reflecting on yourself and cooling down (I do this while driving or commuting). I mean it sounds cheesy and cliché but truly I was antisocial, fat and lazy for a lot of my teen years and even in college. This method of forming simple healthy habits truly did help me so much.
Oh also it’s probably
Important that you recognize all of the good things you do. Especially so for people who struggle with confidence- whenever you complete a task you should stop and tell yourself “look what I did. I just worked out and this is good for me” or “I just sat down and learned how to file taxes today. I put in work and I was successful.” Again it’s super corny but damn does it boost confidence
Omg nearly cried. The best fucking thing I have seen today. This hit so hard, being I decided to get up at 5:30am to excersise and not wanting to. But made the conscious choice to do it. And felt great 👍. This helps so much for most of us that have been working out for years trying to reach our goals. Thank you for being the biggest fitness blessing to us. And of course Ms Susan too❤
I find you to be so refreshing, honest, truthful, direct, to the point, caring and “non gimmicky”. I love it, “willful suffering”. Make the choice now! Thank You J!
#sortinghatsquad
I needed to hear this today. Thank you, Jordan. I have been lurking around for a good while, I have lost some weight, gained some back and lost some more, but I have never really done anything to improve my fitness, as in I have never exercised willingly. I have never experienced the "endorphin rush" from exercise, I have just always hated exercising. I hate being sweaty, I hate sore muscles, I hate being tired, and I hate to organize time for exercising when I'm already busy. But I also hate that I get winded when walking uphill, I hate that I can't keep up with other people, and I hate the fact that I have skip social events because I know I'm not fit enough to participate, let alone enjoy it. And after carefully thinking this through, I have decided that I would much rather choose to suffer for less than an hour a few times a week than constantly be thinking about and even fearing moments that could force me to accept the fact that I'm just not fit enough to do basic, everyday things for maybe the rest of my life. And I'm young, I really don't want to be in this situation for the rest of my life. So I'm making a change. But how, that I don't know yet. #sortinghatsquad
You got this! It's definitely a challenge but you're not alone! What an amazing decision you made! YOU GOT THIS!!! :D
Your comment is very long but i ended up reading all n i got myself so motivated specially with when you said i would rather suffer for 1 our then 24 hours i mean this is so true every time we think about wish I would be fit so I would meet more people go to social events feel more confident play on the ground more run marathons or just look good buy good clothes that suit on me this is all suffering when we are only wishing not be able to do that so rather thinking like this 24/7 n suffering will suffer for 1 hour n make the rest 23 hours feeling good about that you did it
I’m definitely one of those people who doesn’t like to “workout” - I really enjoyed this video! #sortinghatsquad
Do things that work for you. You don’t always have to be EXTREME just consistent. Precovid I lost 50 lbs, I gained a lot of it back from being stuck at home and depressed. I got my head in the game again and adapted to the situation around me. I invested in home equipment by putting money away over a few months and even doing home workouts before getting the equipment. Since I wfh, I dress in my workout clothes so I don’t feel the drag of having to changing into them after work. I used to get up at 6am to go to the gym before covid. But honestly, nowadays I don’t feel like getting up that early. I need my sleep after this year of having so much happen. Now I workout 5x a week around 7-8 pm in my basement. These things work for ME. These changes have made it easier for me to stay disciplined when I feel unmotivated. Come up with ways that help YOU. #sortinghatsquad
Thank you for this comment. I hope you are thriving and happy.
I’m sitting here, telling myself I need to workout today. But I didn’t have the motivation to do so. A few minutes later I receive your text with a link to this video. Message received. #sortinghatsquad

It took me 7 years to fall in love with exercise. Before that I always waited for the moment after class or exercise, when I could have a shower and drink my protein shake.
For me it was a process: first I had to heal my relationship with food so exercise is no longer a punishment or a guilt driven activity. I've started to learn how to love myself, how to accept my past, heal my traumas and start to live my life to the fulliest. That was the point when exercising has become joyful and now I just simply love doing it.
4 days in and I swear to hell and back I'm going to bulk and keep at it for the rest of my life. I can't stand being inactive and physically unimpressive. I will not give up!
You gotta find something you love to do is so true 💕 Hated exercise but started taking Zumba classes that I loved, then months later I was finally motivated to start going to the gym & I ended up loving it :)
I have lost 28 pounds because of your guidance! I have still a long way to go but I love your no bullshit approach and really appreciate your honesty.
#Sortinghatsquad
Hi, did you do the calorie counting Jordan suggests ?
@@lporquai9048 Hi! Yes I count my calories daily
Thank you for sharing this since I am not on Instagram. Willful vs unwillful suffering is the mindset I need right now. I feel like it’s so much work to get food and exercise on track but this shift in thinking helps show it’s worth it. I always felt guilty for not loving it and not having that incredible boost of energy after. Thanks Jordan! You’re incredible. #sortinghatsquad
#sortinghatsquad thank you for giving out free NO BULLSHIT content🙌 tired of people telling me to go low carb, do cardio as much as possible and drink acv everyday. Just roll my eyes and keep rewatching your content😅 straight to the point and inspiring! Thank you for everything you do!🙏
this video is exactly what i needed. This was something that I really needed to hear. I understand it now and i finally feel motivated enough to do something with myself, thank you for that
Hi Jordan, I just wanna say your “you can’t fck this up” mantra helps me so much with my weight lost journey in 2020. I’m down 22kg now from 92kg in Jan 2020. It’s not easy and I stumbled over and over again, battling my demons and the urge to just eat away my feeling but that mantra keeps me in check and get back on track. I’m one of those who can’t seems to enjoy exercising, but now I try to do it regularly. Even if it’s just 20mins walks, it’s still better than not doing anything. And you’re absolutely right, I keep reminding myself that I’d rather willfully suffer now than have to bear the negative consequences later on. Thanks for emphasizing this! #sortinghatsquad
I LOVE this concept. Thank you for always being so real, Jordan. You are SO GOOD at putting things into words that resonate with me. #sortinghatsquad forever!
Jordan my brother this hits me so hard bro. I have had to change my mindset to willfully suffering everyday in order to hit my goals. I get alot of my inspiration from David goggins but at the end of the day you have to get tired of accepting how you feel and look everyday. I am sick of tired of lieng to myself every day and so I take action everyday to get better rather than tell myself a lie. Either walking or working out or both but no matter what I'm not going let my life be wasted anymore. I was 280 a few months ago and now I'm 250 . I've learned to enjoy the small wins every day or week. Without suffering everyday we don't grow and know what to do when we are in a bad situation. That's why you see people with the worst life possible growing up being successful its because there suffering pushed them to be great. Thanks bro godbless and keep grinding!!!!
I sent you a message on IG, but you haven't seen it. Just wanted to say thank you. This video has changed my life. Five minutes and I'm in tears with my mind kind of blown. You spoke to the inner me that has been struggling for what feels like forever with over 100lbs to lose. I've felt alone and sad and not sure what to do or how to start. You've just changed my life. Thank you. So much.
Jordan, it’s like you know what’s going on in my head! This video is the kick up the backside I needed. Kudos to you for caring, thank you 🙏. #SortingHatSquad
Love your content! Down 50lbs since I found you almost 2 yrs ago! Slow and steady but a love the new lifestyle! #sortinghatsquad
Once again, dropping the TRUTH like no other!!!
#SortingHatSquad
I'm still struggling through my weight loss journey. I just want to live a normal life without constantly worrying about weight loss and food! It sucks lol. Still trying to figure it out and hopefully I will 💪 your videos are great Jordan, thanks for the tips. 😍
I’d love to try out the inner circle! Thanks for everything you do!! #sortinghatsquad
#sortinghatsquad really like the breakdown of willful vs unwillful suffering. It's like putting your own spin on the whole instant gratification vs long term gratification concept and applying it to health/exercise
This is perfect I had to share this with my brother. He has diabetes, he lost the weight but regained. I'm trying to get him to workout maybe this will help.#sortinghatsquad
I think this is so on the money!! People who love exercise are so lucky. Like, you enjoy all this stuff, which makes you healthier... yay for you! For others it’s either a grind or just something that’s never going to be enjoyable, but something that HAS to be done for health reasons. That is never talked about... ever! Thank you!! #sortinghat 🙌🙌
"Just because it's suffering, doesn't mean you shouldn't do it." Just what I nedded to hear! Ready to willfully suffer. Thank you Jordan! #sortinghatsquad
REAL TALK!!!!!!!!!! Thanks Jordan
Love this! Voluntary Hardship. It maybe more difficult for some, but you choose to do it any way. Think of it as medicine.
Jordan-I love this explanation!!! It’s taken me so long to get the mindset of not killing myself in workouts 7 days a week for 2 hours is ok. Recognizing that some workouts are just good for me is the key to getting me to do them! Thank you!! #sortinghatsquad
Thank you! I really needed this. Willful suffering will always be in the back of my head from now on!
Literally sitting here trying to motivate myself to exercise right now. #SortingHatSquad
Go do it!!!
#sortinghatsquad Brilliant way at looking at wilful suffering vs unwilful suffering. Absolutely brilliant. Useful for many aspects of life. Thank you Jordan. 🤍
Such good stuff! Thank you for this! I saw another trainer on Instagram the other day who said you have to “WANT to” not “HAVE to” and I 100% disagreed and was annoyed with the whole post.
I’ve lost 120 pounds... I don’t want to eat healthy and I don’t want to workout. If I were going to wait until I “wanted” to do those things, I’d probably weigh at least 150 pounds more than I do right now (I would have gained weight from my starting weight for sure).
Seriously.
What I DO “want” is to feel good and to be healthy and to feel good about myself. And in order for that to be my reality? Well, I HAVE to eat healthy and exercise. I want the benefits of those things but I don’t necessarily want to DO those things.
Most of our lives are made up of us doing things we don’t really want to do. Most people don’t want to work but we do it because we need money so that we have places to live, food to eat, clothes to wear, etc.
Imagine telling someone they need to change their mindset to WANTING to work. Let me tell you - if I won a big lottery, I’m quitting my job immediately. Lol.
And if I could be in shape and feel great without having to do anything? SIGN. ME. UP. Y’all can find me on the couch watching Netflix and going HAM on some chips. 😂
I haven’t trained since I was very sick last October. I decided to make it a new habit and to start slow to reduce the chance of burning out mentally or physically. I’ve now done 30 days of yoga in a row! Starting up at the gym on Monday. Just need to find a gym program to follow as a new habit (and will still do yoga daily because it has done wonders!) Thanks Jordan #sortinghatsquad
I start 2y ago. Workout 6 days in a week, and I love it. Last year I took another rest day, and another, and...
Now I workout every 4-5 days and I dont want to continue after first set.
I've used to hate exercising, but in my case was more about the fact that everyone made exercising about losing weight. And I hated to do sports to lose weight.
Eventually I started doing calisthenics to get stronger and have a better control of my body and how it moves and now I love it. For me it was about intent.
#sortinghatsquad
I love listening to your podcasts and your videos, you truly have so much empathy for others that I don’t think a lot of other coaches have #sortinghatsquad
Thank you for this! I feel like I'm only 'motivated' to exercise when I can't exercise, so I love the idea of willful suffering. #sortinghatsquad
Not all of us can be on Instagram. I don't want to miss even a single video of yours!
You have literally changed the way I look at healthy living. It may not be that much, but I’ve lost 25lb in the last year! #sortinghatsquad
This makes so much sense. My husband claims there is no exercise on earth that he likes. But he loves to play golf. Maybe I can at least get him to go to the driving range a few times a week when the weather is bad. I enjoy working out but need to do it more often too. #SortingHatSquad
as someone who truly LOVES to exercise, i find during the colder winter months my motivation/drive just isn't the same and somedays i really have to use the 'just 5 minutes' mindset to get myself off the couch!
thanks for the perf reminder, positively love all you do
I have shared this video with the peeps in my life that think they hate exercise. Thanks for all you do! #sortinghatsquad
This guy explained it very well. The problem is that unwilled suffering is a form of suffering you don’t really choose. Its something you get because you don’t make the choose of willfully suffering. Making that choice is hard.
It's so refreshing for someone to admit, that the personal experience of exercise does not necessary feel the same for everyone. It makes it realistic and this approach psychologically makes much more sense. It has credibility. Being told you will love the endorphins when you don't, or don't even get them at all, means you can't relate to your trainer. Doing it anyway because the alternative is worse, makes much more sense.
#sortinghatsquad
Just had my aha moment! I am that person. I can diet all day, but I hate exercise. Love this. Thank you.
Mark Manson states that all choices have some suffering innate -just choose what amount of suffering you are willing to risk or tolerate
Very wise advice. Thank you for this.
Thank you!!! This hit home 🏡
Hey Jordan you just gave me a totally different perspective on working out. I love your videos, I would love to check out the inner circle #SortingHatSquad
Eating healthy in a balanced way. Working out 4-5x a week. Thank you for all you do and all the ways you didn't know you've helped me. #sortinghatsquad
Love this! Much needed and a very realistic POV about motivation that I struggle with. Was going to cancel my workout class today, but after watching this I’m still going! #sortinghatsquad
I’m currently on a healthy binge...a Jordan Syatt RUclips binge 😊 thanks for your awesome content, man! #sortinghatsquad
I don’t hate exercising. I love it. I like the tension during I like the soreness after it cause I feel I “earned it”. I’ve never regretted a workout. So you would think I workout a lot right? Wrong! I’m skinny-fat. Not too thin to look emaciated and overweight. Not being in an imminent dangerous situation made me lazy.
#sortinghatsquad
I feel like this is a topic and concept that the fitness industry and trainers never talk about. Willful suffering builds character and is a daily decision to choose what's best for you regardless if you want to do it or not. Gread video Jordan!
I LOVE that you referenced John Pinette! He was hilarious and his humor is greatly missed.
One of the best books for motivation by far for motivation is atomic habits. Highly recommend if.
Once Im in it, I love working out.
I have it on my schedule, so it gets done. I dont trust my “moods” anymore. #sortinghatsquad
This hit me so hard with the truth it made me cry. Need to get my butt into gear.
i needed this
YES PLEASE!! This right here... LOVE IT!!! #sortinghatsquad
You’re a valuable voice in this community! Thanks for the video 👏🏻 #SortingHatSquad
Wow, this hit home.
Wanted to be a part of inner circle for tooo long. You are just awesome
#sortinghatsquad
I choose willful suffering! 💪🏻 Cause as they say, losing weight is hard and being overweight and unhealthy is also hard. So choose your hard, so I choose willful suffering! Thank you for this! 💯👏🏻 #sortinghatsquad
I’m 13 and just started working out because I get made fun of for being skinny and now my arms are big and veins are popping
This is definitely true and the wording is perfect for this cold snowy cold morning in Ireland as I’m looking out saying no but now I’m going to put on my coat and get out 😊 plus I’m dying to watch how that recipe with apples turned out #sortinghatsquad
Love this video. Hard truth that we always need to hear. Thanks for all you do! #sortinghatsquad
I am preaching to my family and friends about how much better i feel since i started excercising and somehow it motvates them. I am a huge proponent of walking (typing this message during my evening walk). It is not too tiring, achievable for most people, can serve as time for reflection. #sortinghatsquad
Love this! Glad I’m not the only one who hates exercise! #sortinghatsquad
I've been non-stop on your podcast for weeks now. Thanks J you're a gem. #sortinghatsquad
I NEEDED this right NOW!!! Thank-you!!!!
#sortinghatsquad
I desperately need this to survive lockdown mentally #sortinghatsquad greetings from austria
Lightbulb moment! Willful suffering will reduce the unwillful suffering! #sortinghatsquad
Why did you just speak to my soul right now?!?! Lol. As a person who has yet to find an exercise that I can fall in love with, this put it into a whole other perspective. #sortinghatsquad
Definitely needed to see this Jordan! #SortingHatSquad
Needed this reminder. Thanks Jordan! #sortinghatsquad
I missed you in youtube lately, Jordan. So I went ahead and started listening to all of your podcasts from the very first one published in February 2018. They are incredibly amazing. We love you man👏👏👏 #sortinghatsquad
when i was younger, i used to be the best in every sport i played. i was a sprinter when i was younger and one of the most fastest runner. i used to be really fit
and after the covid and after my puberty, i lost all my fittness, i gained weight and barely grew any height.
my passion is dance so i joined a dance crew where we train for world cups and competitions
and another goal of mine was to qualify from a state level sprinting competition
all what happened after covid's two year break was...
me losing my stamina strength and speed plus i gained weight
my speed literally increased from 14secs something to around 16secs
i just lost all of it and started feeling very very demotivated
but I am really desperate to win in all my upcoming competition
but when it comes to working out, i can't even do one push up and that demotivated me soo much that i can't do anything else
it's just hard to stay motivated :(
what i learnt from this video is that i should understand that if i push myself and put efforts in working out, my out comes will be desired later on
i won't be having the unwillful suffering of not being fit enough to do that in the future
but what if i have unwillful sufferings right now
agree! doing something consistency is always key whether it be walking or any kind of movement/exercise! #sortinghatsquad
I would love to join the inner circle! I've been following your videos for a few months now, and my entire perspective has changed. 25 lbs down - thank you! 🙏#sortinghatsquad
Brilliant point! I work out with cronic headaches that always get worse when I exercise. It's a great approach to think of it as willful suffering! #sortinghatsquad 🥳🥳🤞🤗
#sortinghatsquad I saw this on Instagram and just rewatched again. I saved it on Instagram and I am going to watch it over every time I just want to stay on the couch. Thank you - you are the best!
This reminds me of why I enjoy your content and personality so much.
Plus, look at the quality of that video! I would love to see some more RUclips content Syatt.
Thanks for speaking the reality of exercise. Find something and just do it.
Thank you for truly caring for others. You are such a blessing and inspiration to many. You are one of the most honest fitness people I follow! #sortinghatsquad
I'm a high school PE Teacher and I LOVE this! I've incorporated so many of your concepts in to my lessons- thank you! #sortinghatsquad
I'm dealing with some health issues and your videos have helped me so much. Thank you #sortinghatsquad
Glad that you’re starting to upload more frequently to RUclips 🤘🏽 #sortinghatsquad
Love this way of framing exercise to anybody! #sortinghatsquad
I am alllll about willful suffering. my goal for the last few years is to improve my grit. This year I started running despite the elements and its been a really fun experience! #sortinghatsquad
Super helpful in these stressful times, thanks Jordan #sortinghatsquad
