This throwback episode hits a core truth: nothing changes until you make the decision to commit.

You can want to change all you want — but progress begins the moment you stop hoping and start deciding. In this episode, I break down the mindset shift that must happen before real growth can begin. I share examples from my own journey — including what I had to overcome to launch and grow this podcast — and explain why decision comes before strategy, motivation, or results.

If you're feeling stuck or unsure, this episode is your reminder that it all starts with one choice.

If you’ve ever said, “I’ll join that workout class once I’m in better shape”… you’ve got it backward.

In this episode, I break down the flawed logic behind waiting to be “fit enough” before joining a fitness class. Whether it’s bootcamps, yoga, HIIT, or cycle — group fitness is built for all levels, and your progress depends on showing up, not waiting to be perfect.

We’ll cover:

• The real purpose of fitness classes (hint: not perfection)
• Why saying “I’m not ready yet” is rooted in fear, not fact
• How instructors and environments are built to support you
• What actually happens when you walk into a class underprepared (spoiler: it’s not a disaster)

This is your sign to stop letting fear win — and start moving forward.

We’re closing out the Gym Etiquette series with a bang — and yes, this one might ruffle a few feathers.

In this episode, I’m sharing my unfiltered gym hot takes — the behaviors that are technically “normal,” but definitely gross, annoying, or misunderstood. From people judging phone use to barefoot showers (seriously?), it’s all on the table.

You’ll hear:

• What to know about phone use during rest periods (it’s not always slacking)
• The one thing in the locker room that still haunts me (hint: flip flops exist for a reason)
• Why you should wipe down equipment before you use it

It’s part rant, part truth, and all about keeping the gym a place we actually want to train in.

Apparently one episode wasn’t enough — because some people still need help.

In this follow-up to the viral Gym Etiquette episode, we go even deeper into the unspoken rules that keep gyms functional, respectful, and less rage-inducing. From giving people space to not interrupting mid-set (seriously), this is the reminder no one asked for but everyone needs.

We cover:

• Why filming strangers in the gym is never okay
• The curse of unnecessary grunting and clanking
• How to handle shared equipment without being that guy
• The golden rule: Don’t interrupt someone mid-set — ever

Whether you’re new to the gym or just forgot how to behave in public, this one’s for you.

There are rules at the gym — even if they’re not written on the wall.

In this episode, we dive into the unspoken (but very real) world of gym etiquette — and the habits that drive everyone crazy. From re-racking your weights to blasting music, hogging equipment, and skipping deodorant, we’re covering the stuff no one wants to say out loud... but absolutely needs to hear.

You’ll learn:

• What makes someone that person at the gym
• Why some bad habits are more than just annoying — they affect everyone’s progress
• How to train like a pro and respect your space (and others)

Whether you’re new to the gym or a seasoned lifter, this is your reminder: don’t lower the collective happiness. Respect the space. Get your lift in. And yes — wear deodorant.

• When it’s actually time to switch things up — and when to push through
• Why changing movements can boost results, not stall them

If your routine feels stale, this episode will help you reset — without losing momentum.
