Ep. 11 – The Gym Girl's Guide to Dating and Relationships

Dating when your life revolves around the gym comes with its own unique set of challenges. From bringing meal prep to dinner dates to explaining why you can't skip your workout, we're getting real about what it's like to navigate relationships as serious gym girls.

We share our experiences with partners who get it (and some who didn't), how to handle family dinners when you're in prep, and why communication is everything when your lifestyle doesn't look like everyone else's. Whether you're dealing with someone who doesn't understand why you need to eat every three hours or you're trying to figure out how to maintain your routine while building a relationship, we've been there.

We talk about the challenges of dating during bodybuilding prep versus off season, how to compromise without sacrificing your goals, and why the right person will support your fitness journey instead of making you feel guilty about it. Plus, we share some pretty funny stories about drinking energy drinks at parties and hiding meal prep on boats.

If you've ever felt like you had to choose between your relationship and your goals, or worried that your lifestyle is too much for someone to handle, this episode will remind you that you shouldn't have to shrink yourself for anyone. The right person will celebrate your dedication, not resent it.

Your fitness goals matter, and so does finding someone who gets that ✨
