What it is

A high-volume, conversational podcast hosted by long-time trainers, mixing training theory, listener questions and frank discussion of what it is actually like to make a living in fitness.

Best for

Commutes and gym-floor downtime. The business and client-management episodes are often more valuable to a working coach than the training ones.

Watch out for

It is opinion and experience, not a literature review, and the hosts sell their own products on the show. Take the confident claims as starting points to check, not as settled evidence.
