If you've been on your Peloton bike, Tread or App since 2021, you've probably taken a class with Camila RamĂłn. She was the first Spanish speaking instructor on the bike and since her inaugural ride, she's brought the music, culture and body positivity she wanted to see more of in the world.
We spend our time on the episode talking about how she came to fall back in love with movement after years of dance, the importance of music to her, and what it's like to work at Peloton.
But the thing that was most delightful to me was just experiencing the silliness wrapped up in someone you should take very seriously. Camila knows how and when to crack a joke to make you comfortable, but she also has a big important story to tell that can make even more people feel seen in fitness.

What started as a personal challenge for Kayla Jeter seven years ago has evolved into a global sensation. From May 1 until August 31, 100MilesofSummer challenges thousands of participants across the country to simply log 100 miles. That amounts to 25 miles a month and approximately 6 miles a week.
And to make this challenge even more doable, participants can walk, run, jog or roll those miles.
I met Kayla just after she moved to Chicago and was making her way in the city in her post-professional sports career. Her vision for this summer program has always been clear (and fun to watch): create change in the sport of running to make it more inviting and inclusive.
In our conversation, you'll hear a lot about where 100MilesofSummer came from, the role of movement and community in dealing with grief, and the power of community to help you achieve your goals.
And in the seventh year of the challenge, there are some really big updates - aside from reaching folks on other continents.
Kayla and her team created a community home on the Circle Platform. Kayla and her team launched their own platform-agnostic miles tracker (so if you love Nike's app, use it. If you're a Strava stan, go crazy. You'll just log your miles for the challenge on the tracker separately.)ï»żResources:Follow Kayla on Instagram Follow 100MilesofSummer on Instagram Join the 100MilesofSummer Circle community Start using the tracker Read the Chicago Tribune's Feature Story on Kayla's journey and goals We chat about Kayla's insane experience taking on Lululemon Further and running more than 200 miles in six days.

Haley Shapley, author of the book "Strong Like Her" is a walking history book of women's foray into sports and strength.
That's because she literally wrote the book on it ("Strong Like Her," which is now available in paperback). After the author entered a bodybuilding competition, she had the eye-opening experience of hearing first-hand the outdated ideas about women's strength. So, she started looking into the people she calls, "our Muscular Foremothers."
"Don't lift too heavy," "No man will find you attractive," and "you look like a man." No matter how much we try to move past these ideas, we still encounter them them. In our conversation, Haley talks through the rule breakers in strength as well as the link between gender, strength, feminism and suffrage.
In this conversation, you'll hear some really interesting stories of strength - some that may be new to you:

I was never the kid who sought out a jump rope for fun, I wasnât counting how many jumps I could do uninterrupted, and I wasnât doing double dutch. However, as an adult I was handed a jump rope to work out and after a couple of minutes, I was gassed. So I incorporated it into workouts and developed a love for how much I hated it.
At one point, I was even teaching a fitness class called âRopes Gone Wild,â but thatâs a story for a different day.
So when CrossRope reached out, promising to make jumping rope at home a fun part of your workout (with a connected fitness component), I tried it, I loved it, and I selected a 25-minute workout my first time back to jumping rope. That was a mistake - my poor calves.
And in the world, weâre going back to hybrid everything - hybrid work, hybrid workout. I know for me, if I choose to work out at home, it's because Iâm in a time crunch, so I need whatever I do at home to be efficient.
So today, weâre talking to two experts from Crossrope: Dave Hunt, Founder and CEO of Crossrope, and Jennika Landon, a Crossrope Trainer (who Iâm pretty sure is also a molecular biologist). Weâre going to dig in to making at home workouts fit your time and your lifestyle.

As a lifelong learner, I feel pretty fortunate that I get to interview smart people, innovators, and inventors and say, "teach me something."
And this week, the big question was about Essential Fatty Acids. What makes a fatty acid essential? Spoiler: you have to ingest it and your body needs it for important functions. And what about saturated vs. unsaturated fats?
We dig in with the co-founders of Fatty15, Stephanie and Eric Venn-Watson, on the discovery of the essential fatty acid you'll find in the Fatty15 capsules: C15:0.
And the best part? Stephanie was studying dolphins when she made this discovery.

The thing about being human is that weâre born ready to discover the world - the sights, the sounds, what makes us happy, what scares us, and even who we are. Our identity is something that comes to us piece by piece as we mature and explore the world around us. Can you imagine living a life that fully supports you discovering your identity?
Today, weâre speaking with Dr. Gwen Bass about her work in creating identity-affirming environments that promote belonging. She also wrote a book Called Immaculate Misconception about her journey to finding her biological siblings who shared a sperm donor as well as her family that was created around love and belonging.
She was one of the first children conceived in the '80s to two lesbian moms.That journey of identity and hiding her identity in certain situations and being accepted in others shaped her research and her academic work since.
In this conversation, she talks about risk factors and protective factors for identity.
Dr. Gwen shares some steps that leaders can take to ensure that folks know that they an be themselves while not getting in the way of others needs being met. We talk about how the concepts of belonging apply to the fitness space. Dr. Gwen chats through how yoga is an exceptionally inclusive fitness space because of the ways instructors cue leveling up and down, using props.
She talks about:

We kicked off season 9 of the podcast a bit later than expected. We learned of the untimely and unexpected passing of Ryan Deffet this fall - aSweatLife's friend and the longtime editor of this podcast. We waited to come back until we could mourn Ryan and find a way to properly memorialize him.
His friends and band mates from The Space Gators allowed us to use a song that featured Ryan on vocals called "Somewhere To Be" at the upfront of the episode. We hope you'll take the time to listen to that beautiful song in this week's episode.
We spend this episode going over what's to come on aSweatLife (including big updates for the Ambassador program) and on our podcast. As we come back this season, you'll hear us talking to experts who we ask to teach us something.
We're excited for you to come along with us on this journey.

It has admittedly been a weird week or so on the Internet. We went from learning that aliens might be super real (told you, Gideon) to moving on. Maybe it was the full moon, who knows.
So, we decompressed and talked it over on our monthly tĂȘte-Ă -tĂȘte - our podcast episode that we call "Let's Talk About It." Sure, we spent a little bit of time talking about aliens and whether or not they're just tourist, but we also covered which astrology apps we like and what we're saving on Instagram and TikTok.
On this week's episode, you'll hear from me, Jeana Anderson Cohen, and from the Senior Director of Communities at aSweatLife, Kelly Matkovich. Joining us is Dana Farber who runs Moonstone marketing and works with aSweatLife on content strategy and social media.

Have you ever seen a small, round sensor on the back of someoneâs arm? For a long time, those continuous glucose monitors were only used for monitoring the blood glucose of those with Diabetes. My grandfather had diabetes and he would check his blood glucose twice a day using a finger prick. I remember distinctly the sound of the little device - it was like a stapler - I also remember the curse words that would follow.
So, I assumed as I was putting the Freestyle Libre on the back of my arm that it would be as painful as the finger pricks. It was not. And for two weeks, I wore it and dutifully trained the January.ai App to help me understand and control my blood glucose.
It created something called a "digital twin" which learned which behaviors led to blood sugar spikes and valleys. If creating a digital twin of yourself sounds scary, and like the robots are coming. Well, the robots are coming anyway, so, we might as well team up with them to make our lives better.
Joining me today is Noosheen Hashemi, CEO and Founder of January.ai, which uses AI to help manage your glucose and predict the impact of key behaviors on our bodyâs unique metabolism.

If we were on TikTok right now, Iâd be referring to myself as an âanxiety girlieâ and as such, I have tried many, many anxiety coping mechanisms and recently, I discovered the Quiet Mind weighted pillow and I am super in love.
And joining me today on the podcast is Mikey Goldman, creator of Quiet Mind. We talk through where the idea came from, and a few of his big backers, like Nick woodman of GoPro and Chad Hurley of YouTube.
We also discuss the reasons Mikey created Quiet Mind - a diagnosis of ADHD and managing the symptoms that came with taking multiple medications - and how surprising it was to him that a weighted pillow didn't exist already.

I'm the kind of friend that keeps up with people through their posts. And this year, it's been pretty hard to miss what my friend AND yours Gideon Akande is up to: he committed to doing 365 consecutive days of movement. He's calling it Project 365, and it's a lot less daunting than you might think.
On this week's episode of the podcast, I asked Gideon to share the rules of his challenge - he didn't love the word "rules," but shared the guidelines nonetheless. Basically, he can do anything for exercise at any time of the day as long as it's "concentrated exercise" for a minimum of 15 minutes. So taking a walk for exercise versus taking a walk to commute and counting the multi-task.
At first, I was worried about his recovery. "He'll burn out!" I thought. But on a closer look, he's doing this in a safe and strategic way. (It's almost like he's a personal trainer or something).
So we talk about WHY he started and I found it completely relatable. As a new dad, he found himself moving less. And because movement is a big part of his life as a three-time Chicago Golden Gloves champion, trainer, and national winner of the Menâs Health Next Top Trainer competition.
He lives for movement and wanted to make sure he was walking the walk.
I loved this entire conversation, but my favorite part was hearing what Gideon has learned in more than six months of this challenge. I won't spoil it for you, but the key word is JOY.

This week, in passing we mentioned that at the end of the aSweatLife summer internâs time with us we would sit down and tell her everything we had to learn the hard way after college graduation. Then we realized that we should probably record it as itâs hot on our minds and is really the only thing we can think about this week.
Ever since we had the conversation as a team, I thought about the things that I learned through whisper networks or by falling on my face. They were innumerable. So, weâre not going to gatekeep it.
Julia had good questions for us:Work related
How should I go about getting a job? Whatâs the best advice you could give to someone interviewing for a job? What are your musts when it comes to looking for a job?Personal
Whatâs one thing you would like your senior college self to know? How should a 20 year old come about looking for friends after college? How would you advice a 20 year old to get used to a 9-5pm What do you guys think about a hobby as a career?And we prepared a little advice for her:At work -if someone says something IMPORTANT to you with just their voice, follow up with an email asking them to confirm. Get shit in writing.It's okay to quit a job if you don't have another job lined up AND find mentorsOur advice on life:Ask questions.Have the best time with your friends - go out, go to restaurants, travel - do all the thingsOur advice as old married ladiesJeana: In my early 20s, I spent so much time wondering and worrying about whether the person I had been on one or two dates with liked me and very little time on whether I liked them. As soon as I started asking that question, âDo I like them? Have they earned my mindspace?â Things shifted for me. Kelly: I wish I would have dated MORE And live on your ownAnd the aSweatLife Ambassadors shared some guidance:Honestly, this was my favorite part: sourcing guidance from this group of really unique humans. Here's what they said:
"Staying in a crappy job too long can let some good jobs get away from you, and can be detrimental to your self esteem." - Mariah B."Know your worth and donât be afraid to negotiate your salary! I was too scared to right out of college and was basically slapped with minimum wage wrapped up as a âsalaryâ because I thought I couldnât ask for anything else." -Sydney M."More for personal life, but do what you want to do, even if it means going for it solo! I spent some years thinking I just wouldnât do things bc my friends werenât also interested in doing them, but now have embraced just going for it. Iâve gone to things solo and left with acquaintances with the same interests. Or just left solo with a great experience lol." -Sarah S."Work is not who you are, and is not everything. You can always change things if they arenât for you, you can always reinvent yourself, you can always advocate for yourself. Nothing has to be a linear path to the top." - CC"Two things ... One of them is from the Olsen twins⊠1. No is a full sentence. (thanks Olsen twins). 2. You don't have to have things figured out. Like ever. There is no point in life at which you need to have the perfect job or be married or have kids or it's too late." -Tahnee L."If you can afford to - you can take vacation even if you don't have paid time off available / used up." -Amy G."2 bits of career advice learned the hard way. 1) Sometimes not getting the job has nothing to do with you. You met the qualifications, you interviewed well, it felt like a fit. Thereâs too many unknowns to you. The company culture, the culture of the team youâd be joining, internal candidates, etc. I spent a lot of time being hard on myself and it wasnât until I became a hiring manager that I realized I couldâve saved myself some heartache by accounting for the unknowns. 2) At every job you will ever have, even if you own your own business, you are replaceable. It may not be done the same way, or as well even but, there are people who can do what you do to some degree. Keep that mindset and perhaps itâll save you some serious abuse of work/life boundaries and burnout early in your career that I learned the hard way." -Alexis R.ï»żResources:Ladies Get PaidAsk a Manager is a great resource for any question for your careerQuestions that Julia sourced from the InternetJanuary.ai -
During aSweatLifeâs annual event, Sweatworking Week, we met a lot of new people. We love that about Sweatworking Week. And they had questions about where aSweatLife came from and why. We figured we might as well share the story since youâre asking.
So this week, we turned the tables and Kelly Matkovich, who leads aSweatLife's ambassador program interviewed Jeana Anderson Cohen, founder/CEO of aSweatLife.
We talk over the beginning of aSweatLife, where the ambassadorship came from, our first revenue stream and what keeps us going today.

At aSweatLife, we always say that everything is better with friends. And because of that, we get to spend time meeting entrepreneurs and tastemakers in the wellness space. Like a lot of them. But when one of the aSweatLife ambassadors mentioned the brand Literally Outside on our private slack channel, we dug into this Chicago-based brand and knew we needed to become friends.
Joining us today is Steffan Williams, the Founder and Chief Executive Outsider at Literally Outside! Literally Outside is a lifestyle brand on a mission to empower everyone to feel comfortable exploring the great outdoors. Itâs black-owned, operated by two cousins, and supported by a team of family.
Literally Outside is one of the few Black-owned outdoor lifestyle companies in the US. That brand has transparent values that you'll hear us talk about on the episode. It's conscious, soulful, accessible, and adventurous.
Literally Outside wants to change the narrative of what it looks like to be âoutdoorsyâ so everyone can feel like they belong in the outdoors. On the episode, we talk about the idea of their slogan, âOutsiders Welcome.â

To start off the month, we like to touch base as a team and bring whatever we're thinking about to the table. This week, we talked through three big questions:
Kelly had a very specific ask for shorts for running. She has a very specific need for shorts that are High waisted, have a brief liner, have a 4 inch inseam, have Storage and come in a neutral color. We didn't have a ton to offer her on that front, so we'd love your help.
Dana talked through her co-working needs. She's ready to co-work again and asked for some ideas as to where.
As for me? I wanted to know everyone's skincare routine. You'll notice in our resources that we spent a lot of time talking about our favorite brands.
We also chatted through a tiny topic: Romcoms. We talked about the best and the worst of the genre as well as some of our favorite movies to rewatch.
And a delightful addition: you'll hear from aSweatLife's summer intern Julia who has a lot to say about both skincare and romcoms.

At aSweatLife, we always say that everything is better with friends. And that's not just to be cute - high quality bonds are the clearest predictor of longevity. Not to be dramatic, but making friends and spending time with them is a matter of life or less life.
Maybe you remember, but the past couple of years have been rough from a friendship perspective - you know what I mean. And many people took the pandemic to be an opportunity to reevaluate their surroundings, their happiness, and their living situations. I can't count how many people I know who moved or took off to become digital nomads. Moving can be a challenge from a connection standpoint.
Today, on the podcast, Iâm speaking to someone today who took what could have been an isolating experience and she made it friendly.
Here's what Maggie Umberger said in her article on aSweatLife about making friends during her digital nomad year.
âFrom my time traveling the country over the last year, I learned an unexpected lesson I didnât set out to receive. When I packed up the car to head west, the itinerary was set for places Iâd never been and where I didnât know a soul. I left thinking this was going to be a journey into isolation. I learned it was a journey â one thatâs only just beginning â towards connection."
So we talk about why she and her partner took off for adventure and what they learned along the way.

Stop for a second and ask yourself the following: if you meet a woman who tells you she isn't drinking, do you assume she's pregnant? Don't lie to me.
I spent nearly a year as a mostly sober - ok, fine a California-mostly-sober person. I went on Lexipro last May and I liked not feeling anxious and depressed, but I did not enjoy browning out. So, out with the booze and out with the blues. After nearly a year of the pregnant pauses (that's a lazy pun) that followed explaining that I wasn't drinking, I just started saying, "and no, I'm not pregnant."
Christina Heiser, whose voice you'll hear on the podcast this week, stopped drinking in December of 2021 and kept it up. She's a journalist, and so, she's observed and written about how it felt, the impact and why she did it. After she penned 5 Things That Happened When I Quit Drinking for a Year, I knew I'd found a kindred spirit.
We spend some time on the episode talking about our gluten *stuff* and she and I connected on how easy it is to accidentally eat gluten while you are impaired.
And because she is incredibly prepared at all times, Christina also came with her own links and resources. So don't hesitate to dive into her favorite influencers, products and links.

A couple of months ago, I saw the signature microweights on the Omorpho gear for the first time in the background of a workout on Bravo's Summerhouse. I thought, "What's that future-wear?" And then went on with my life. (Yes, I watch Bravo, but I wouldn't call myself a Bravo-holic. Except, please ask me about Scandoval if you see me in the wild.)
So when I got my Omorpho G-tight and G-tank for myself, I couldn't fathom how this futuristic athletic apparel weighing in at under 2 pounds could enhance my workout. That is until I wore the outfit to an Interval workout at Studio Three. The treadmill inclines and sprints were decidedly more challenging. So, when I sat down to chat with Stefan Olander - former Nike heavy-hitter and cofounder/CEO of Omorpho - I understood the insight the brand was tapping into.
On the episode, I reference the CrossFit workout Murph, which was my point of reference for using a weighted vest to increase intensity. You'll hear Stefan share that a Murph workout was actually a big inspiration for the company.
But weighted vests were heavy, and I didn't have any burning desire to add 10 percent of my bodyweight or more to my upper body for a workout. But Omorpho weighs much less than a typical weighted vest and its evenly distributes the weight all over your body in the tanks and tights that I tried.
On this week's episode, we dive into the science and the design of Omorpho.

"When nothing is certain, anything is possible."
Heidi Zimmer, founder of Wild Rice Retreat said that on this week's episode of the podcast, and I furiously wrote it down. Because even though she was talking about the uncertainty of breaking ground on the project she'd worked on for years in March of 2020, I felt like it applied to absolutely everything.
And today, Wild Rice Rice Retreat is thriving on the shores of Bayfield, Wisconsin. With stunning views of Lake Superior (my favorite Great Lake) and access to miles of trails, this shoreline oasis is as much about being in nature as it is about integrating wellness into your life.
And its price point - around $300 a night for meals, lodging, and yoga programming - is staggeringly low compared to some of the options available. Heidi's vision is to make wellness travel accessible - and to do it all in the north woods of Wisconsin.
Hear all about it on this week's episode!
