About the Fit Mess Podcast Hosts

Meet the Voices Behind the Conversation

The Fit Mess isn't just another show about fitness and mental health—it's a raw, honest exploration of personal growth, technology, and navigating life's most challenging moments. Our diverse team of hosts brings unique perspectives that transform difficult conversations into powerful insights.

Jeremy Grater

A journey of transformation began with an unexpected bike ride that changed everything. After a knee injury led him to cycling, Jeremy discovered the power of presence and mindfulness. What started as a physical recovery became a deep dive into meditation, personal development, and understanding the intricate ways we can improve our lives. With a passion for exploring new paths and breaking through personal barriers, he co-founded the Fit Mess Podcast to share vulnerable conversations about mental health, growth, and resilience.

Joe Villegas

From a self-described "math nerd" to a high-performance coach, Joe's journey is a testament to personal reinvention. After struggling with weight in college, he discovered CrossFit and completely transformed his life. But Joe didn't stop at personal change—he became passionate about helping others unlock their potential. As a senior leader for Tony Robbins and a master trainer for the Elite Mentorship Forum, he specializes in helping people discover inner resources they didn't know they possessed. Joe brings a unique blend of personal development expertise, fitness knowledge, and motivational coaching to the podcast.

Jason Haworth

A technologist, inventor, and lifelong adaptor, Jason embodies the spirit of continuous reinvention. With a background spanning ethical hacking, technical innovations, and multiple career transformations, he's an expert at navigating change. A pivotal health moment—recovering from a bicep tendon injury—led him to a remarkable physical transformation, dropping from 285 to 205 pounds and then building significant muscle. Beyond personal health, Jason is deeply engaged with emerging technologies, particularly AI and its implications for healthcare, mental health, and societal change. His insights bridge technology, personal wellness, and futuristic thinking.

Zach Tucker

Zach is a wellness advocate with a powerful personal transformation story. His journey began weighing close to 300 pounds, smoking, and struggling with daily physical activities. A simple 5k challenge post-college became the catalyst for a complete lifestyle overhaul. Now a certified yoga instructor and Insanity® Live trainer, Zach is passionate about helping others discover their potential through small, consistent changes.

His philosophy is deeply personal: there's no one-size-fits-all approach to wellness. Having found his own path from struggling to thriving, Zach is committed to sharing the tools and insights that helped him transform his life. His mission is to show others that inner peace and physical health are achievable, no matter where they're starting from. As he puts it, "If I can find some semblance of inner peace, anyone can."
