If you know us or train with us, you'll know we are huge fans of Strength Training. Should we think about strength training as a skill in the same way as we might with flexibility, musical instruments or sport?

Coaches Anna and Jaz sit down today to look back on (and laugh about!) diets we've tried in the past (some healthy, most not) and reflect on how our gym training has evolved over the years! We had a laugh recording this one! Hope you enjoy it :)

Jaz and Scotty discuss 5 common strength training myths ... does muscle burn more calories at rest? Is lifting just for those who want to pack on size? Does having visible abs = fITneSs? How often do you need to work out to make an effective change, really? And are there any age limits on strength training?!

Today I have a chat with my good friend Dan, aka @caffeineandcrossfit.
Dan is amazing at ticking all of the proverbial fitness boxes around his office based 9-5 in Accountancy. I ask him how he makes time for it all as well as about training for Hyrox and his views on alcohol.
Thanks for listening! -

This week I am joined by my good friend Ilina @fitwithilina. We reflect on (and laugh about) how our attitudes and training goals have evolved over the years we have been in the gym and what we have learnt from having aesthetic goals.
We also discuss body image, the recent NY Times article re. body trends and why we don't push clients towards having a certain goal.
