At North Atlanta FitLife, we love connecting with individuals who inspire, encourage, and motivate others to live well. Meet Jonotthan Harrison, a former NFL football player turned fitness entrepreneur who lives by the words, “No Days Off”. He wears this mantra proudly around his neck as a constant reminder of the dedication, meticulousness, tenacity, and passion required to achieve greatness. These values drive him daily in both business and life.
We sat down with Jonotthan to talk about his journey—from the NFL to his work with Strength Society and Project Lean Nation—his philosophy on health, and his advice for anyone ready to take charge of their life.
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.
FitLife: That’s powerful. You are living that passion off the field as a proud new dad, and owner of Strength Society. Congratulations! What made you want to get involved with Strength Society?
Jonotthan: I wanted to be part of something that not only delivers results but also does so in a sustainable way. Strength Society 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 Strength Society apart from other fitness programs?
Jonotthan: Strength Society 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 Strength Society, it’s about setting people up for 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. Strength Society 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 Strength Society and Project Lean Nation help people achieve long-term success in their fitness journeys.
BOX:
Strength Society: More than just exercise:
• Emphasis on technique and form over repetition and volume
• Adjusting time under tension to maximize results
• Coaching-only floors: no high fives, no mics, no cheerleading, no gimmicks
• Not a “get fit quick” program
• Creates lasting results thru discipline, accountability, and attention to detail
• Coaches with backgrounds in both the MLB and NFL
Quote: “I hope to share my knowledge, expertise, and experience to help achieve long-term success.”
