Meet Charlie Weingroff | Physical Therapist & Strength & Conditioning Coach

We had the good fortune of connecting with Charlie Weingroff and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Charlie, what do you attribute your success to?
Stumbling upon the right mixture of being great at delivering a clinical experience and also being enjoyable to be around. There’s a lot of words and analogs that can break these 2 characteristics down and further explain, but this is the not so secret sauce for anyone to be successful.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
My business has several arms to it in terms of revenue, but much like the spokes the wheel, they all track back to the center hub. That center hub for me is problem solving. All of the extensions of service all link back to presentation, analysis, and solution of their problem(s). The circle around the problem solving is typically related to human performance – medical and fitness. So even though I will consult with businesses outside my clinical education, most of of my services relate to physical therapy, training, and organization of both clinical and business resources within those spaces.

The clear separation from others is the linkage of nearly all skill sets and the individuals that can deliver them into one cohesive and managed journey for the patient or client. Especially given the autonomous and specialized nature of medical professionals, consistent communication and working “nice” in the sandbox isn’t nearly as common as many would think. When I have the responsibility to build a team for a patient, this is the delivery piece that clearly sets what I do apart. We don’t miss anybody or anything simply because we have the right people working together.

It is a little bit hard to say if it was hard to get to where I’m currently at because 1) what I do is typically very social being around good people, and 2) hard work isn’t hard for me. Overcoming challenges, some of which have been incredibly life-changing I suppose was driven really by 1) and 2). Just go to work the next day; obviously being around people always helps, and there are so many mini-rewards in my daily work that you always have an honest distraction from the big issues outside of the direct work.

I think an important lesson I’ve learned is that we should never be embarrassed or afraid to ask someone for money. The good news in that scenario is that the people will tell you if it’s the wrong amount. If no one comes to see you, the combination of everything involved says your price is too high. If you are busy back to back, tip to tip, and you can’t take any new people or take a day off, your price is too low. But this sequence always starts with believing in what you do, your greatness and telling others in an organic way. Everyone will admit when talking about others is of course there’s going to be some people that are just better at their job at others. They’ll admit others just suck at their jobs. They’ll admit some are just somehow the best in their experiences.

It is the somewhere in that last statement in what I would like others to know about my brand or story.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
We would go to Disney World. So over a week, the highlights would be walking the Parks without having to go on any rides. I’d certainly have to rig some kind of VIP deal to not have to wait on lines, and over probably 4 days, maybe 5, you could go on every ride.
There’s walk up spots for lunch, couple of my favorite sit-down restaurants for dinner, fireworks in evening.
You have to meet some characters and have a full-on conversation with a familiar face in an 8ft fur costume and can’t speak. But they seem to hold the conversation just fine.
Probably the best steakhouse I’ve ever been to in Orlando is actually also named Charley’s; that would have to be on the list.
Walking around the hotels has to be on the list just sharing all the trivia and unique things about each hotel.
That’s what Disney is like; it’s a big giant coin collection, and you just want to show other people all the cool coins you’ve collected. And if they’re your best friend, they’ll find it interesting. And when they leave they’ll say, “See ya real soon!”

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
I’ll run the risk of being speaking in award show cliches, but if anyone goes on this list, it has to be everyone……….that has given me the opportunity to affect their lives. These are all the athletes, clients, patients and of course those that delegated their responsibilities to me to do the same.
