#27 - Beyond the Barbell with Michael Murphy

We have all heard about the significant impact physical activity has for our mental health - but how much impact does it actually have?
In the episode Tristan chats with Michael Murphy who is the founder of Beyond the Barbell.
Beyond the Barbell aims to create a safe, welcoming and enjoyable space where men can come for a workout and benefit from a support network of like-minded men.
Michael shares his own journey with Anxiety & Depression and losing his identity. He shares the darkest point of his journey, finding myself again and how training kept going through his toughest times and was the inspiration for creating BTB.
Michael talks about the connection being created during sessions and the impact of ken showing vulnerability is having not only in the gym but on the wider community.
