In this episode, we’re joined by Sam Theyers, Commercial Sales Director at Wattbike, to explore how data, performance testing, and smart benchmarking are reshaping the fitness industry.

Sam shares insights from his journey through the sector — from gym floors to leadership roles — and breaks down how fitness testing can drive member engagement, improve personal training uptake, and fuel real business growth. We discuss the role of objective data in client motivation, common mistakes facilities make with onboarding, and why gyms that embrace performance metrics are ahead of the curve.

If you’re a coach, club owner, or fitness leader, this conversation will give you practical ideas and strategic insight on how to better serve your members through data-driven training.

In this episode of the TRX Podcast, host Nathan D’Rozario sits down with Rudy O’Halloran—the founder of ROCUP, a grassroots community running movement that’s making waves far beyond the pavement.

What started as a simple initiative to get people moving has grown into something much deeper: a safe, inclusive space where runners of all backgrounds and abilities come together not just to train, but to connect, support, and grow.

Rudy shares how personal struggles and a drive for purpose led him to create ROCUP, why running is the perfect vehicle for building belonging, and what it means to lead with heart in a world that desperately needs more community.

We also explore the challenges and rewards of grassroots leadership, the power of showing up consistently, and how fitness—when built on empathy—can transform lives.

In this episode:
– The origins of ROCUP and its mission
– How running builds connection and confidence
– The role of leadership and vulnerability in community fitness
– Why positive role models matter now more than ever
– What’s next for ROCUP

Whether you’re a coach, a runner, or someone who cares about building real human connection through movement—this episode will leave you inspired.
