FitLife Interview with Jonotthan Harrison

FitLife: You’ve been so successful. What sparked your passion for fitness and wellness?

Jonotthan: I am passionate about excelling in everything I do. Obviously, health & fitness is an integral part of my journey, and that goes beyond just physical strength—to mental resilience, balance, and purpose. That is what I attribute my early success to in academics as well as athletics. Playing football in high school, college and in the NFL for 10 years taught me discipline, but it also showed me the importance of taking care of my body off the field. MADabolic and Project Lean Nation help me to do that.

FitLife: That’s powerful. You are living that passion off the field as a proud new dad, and owner of MADabolic in Johns Creek. Congratulations! What made you want to get involved with MADabolic?

Jonotthan: I wanted to be part of something that not only delivers results but also does so in a sustainable way. MADabolic gives people a structured way to build strength, improve conditioning, and recover properly. When I saw how effective it was and learned that the founders are also former professional athletes, I knew it aligned with my own beliefs about training and I had to get involved.

FitLife: What sets MADabolic apart from other fitness programs?

Jonotthan: MADabolic is a game-changer. It’s not your typical high-intensity workout that just burns you out—it’s an intentional, structured approach to strength and conditioning. The

program is built around three key intervals—Momentum, Anaerobic, and Durability—which means you’re training with purpose, not just pushing until failure. This approach allows people to build real, functional strength while avoiding the burnout and injuries that can come with traditional high-intensity programs. It’s all about moving smarter, not just harder.

FitLife: You’re also involved with Project Lean Nation. How does that tie into your fitness philosophy?

Jonotthan: Nutrition is the foundation of everything. You can train as hard as you want, but if you’re not fueling your body properly, you won’t see the results you’re after. Project Lean Nation helps people simplify their nutrition with real, whole foods that support performance and recovery. It’s not about quick fixes or crash diets—it’s about sustainable, healthy eating that fits into your lifestyle. Just like MADabolic, it’s about setting people up for long-term success.

I hope to share my knowledge, expertise, and experience to help achieve long-term success.

FitLife: What advice do you have for someone just starting their fitness journey?

Jonotthan: Start small and be patient with yourself. Set realistic goals, find an activity you enjoy, and focus on building consistency over time. MADabolic is a great place to start because it meets you where you are but still pushes you to grow. And don’t underestimate the power of recovery—rest is just as important as training when it comes to building strength.

FitLife: Love that! Last question—what does living a ‘fit life’ mean to you?

Jonotthan: It’s about balance—mind, body, and spirit. It’s about feeling strong, energized, and capable in your everyday life. My wife and I, and our 1-year old, are excited about fully immersing ourselves in the local community. I’m ready for this new chapter of life post-NFL and I truly believe MADabolic and Project Lean Nation help people achieve long-term success in their fitness journeys.
