You don't have time to do heaps of prehab or rehab work before your workouts, so you skip it. It doesn't add to your gains anyway, right? In this episode, Coach James talks us through a practical alternative to reducing injury risk in and out of the gym without adding loads of time to do fluffy stuff before you start lifting. He drives home why, if you really care about your long-term lifespan in strength or physique endeavours, you can't afford not to.

#93 Eugene Teo - Online Education, Worldwide Tours and Human Connection (Replay)
We loved this episode so much when we released it back in 2019 that we just had to share it again. Coach Eugene Teo shares his experience with moving from 1on1 PT all the way through to international seminars, an exotically large following on social media, and his global fitness app 'Ganbaru Method'. This episode takes some funny turns of discussion but also straightens up towards the life of a digital trainer and the practical hurdles and considerations that come with it. This isn't a short episode, but you know what they say.... size matters.

#92 Lizzy and Dean - What's the difference - PT VS Coach
Personal Trainers, Educators, Consultants, and Coaches. Too often we see people in any of these roles call themselves a 'Coach'.
What is the difference?In this episode, your co-hosts discuss the differences in scope of practice and skillset within each of these roles. Knowing this helps consumers/clients better understand what each role offers so that they can seek the right service for them.
In order to raise the industry standard in the coaching space, bringing awareness to what a 'real coach' does, instead of a consultant or PT masquerading as a 'coach', is vital. It is only when the general public knows what they should be receiving in coaching, can they expect more, demand more, and get more.

#87 Flex Coach George - How to manage diet fatigue
When we talk about 'diet fatigue' we don't mean the normal feelings of hunger between meals when you start making better food choices. We are talking about that deep gnawing feeling in your stomach when you're trying to get super-super washboard abs lean. We are talking about the brain fog and heightened mental preoccupation with food, kind of lean. These symptoms are considered part of 'diet fatigue'. In this episode, Flex Coach George, the mightiest of all the Georges, talks us through some management strategies for diet fatigue... if you're mad enough to attempt this level of leanness.
