    The Thing Everyone Gets WRONG About Awareness | PD Fit Bits

    If YOU'RE ready to make real, sustainable change in your life, jump on a free call with us - https://physiquedevelopment.typeform.com/to/ToP9TYLE The thing everyone gets wrong about awareness? Awareness isn't self-criticism, it's strategy. And that distinction matters more than you think. If you're exhausted, frustrated, and wondering why something that should feel simple keeps feeling so heavy, this episode is for you. Sue breaks down why knowing what you should be doing isn't the issue, and why applying good information to systems that don't support you will always lead to burnout. Because this isn't a mindset problem, it's a strategy problem. The goal is to build systems that support the version of you that actually exists—not the person you wish existed.

    Predicting the BIGGEST Fitness Trends Coming in 2026 | PD Podcast Ep.250

    If YOU'RE ready to make real, sustainable change in your life, jump on a free call with us - https://physiquedevelopment.typeform.com/to/ToP9TYLE Today's episode is all about fitness and wellness trends—what took over in 2025 and where things are likely headed in 2026. Sue and Alex unpack the patterns they've seen gain momentum, why trends aren't inherently good or bad, and how marketing often oversimplifies solutions that are far more nuanced in real life. They start by breaking down major 2025 trends—from the shift away from HIIT and bootcamps toward Pilates and community-driven movement, to the rise of weighted vests, endurance events like Hyrox-style racing, and wearable trackers. From there, they look ahead to 2026 predictions, including an increased emphasis on sleep tracking, AI-powered upgrades, new approaches to walking ("Japanese walking," anyone?), continued expansion of community-based fitness, and evolving conversations around GLP-1 medications. The takeaway? The next big thing isn't always your next big thing. This episode will help you think critically about trends, avoid getting pulled in every direction, and choose what actually aligns with your goals. We'll see you in the New Year!

    When Discipline is the WRONG Tool for the Job... (& what to use instead) | PD Fit Bits

    If YOU'RE ready to make real, sustainable change in your life, jump on a free call with us - https://physiquedevelopment.typeform.com/to/ToP9TYLE If you're listening to this and still feel stuck, this episode is for you—because chances are, you're not lazy. You're capable, responsible, and used to getting things done. In this episode, Sue breaks down why discipline is sometimes the wrong tool for the job. More rules, pressure, and control don't lead to better results; they lead to burnout. Not because you're failing, but because your plan was built for an ideal version of you that doesn't exist in real life. She unpacks how awareness—not self-judgment—is the starting point for real change, and why designing systems around how you actually function makes progress easier to execute. Because you don't need to try harder. You need a strategy that works with you, not against you. Have questions or comments for us?

    Reflecting on 2025: An Honest Look at Our Successes & Failures Over the Past Year | PD Podcast Ep.249

    If YOU'RE ready to make real, sustainable change in your life, jump on a free call with us - https://physiquedevelopment.typeform.com/to/ToP9TYLE In this episode, Sue and Alex pull back the curtain for an honest, personal reflection on what it actually looked like behind the scenes at Physique Development this past year. 2025 was a year of lessons, pivots, and growth. If you're in a season of building—whether it's a business, a body, or a life—this conversation will resonate. Sue and Alex share real numbers from the business, the client wins they're most proud of, and the mistakes, missteps, and moments that forced them to reevaluate how they operate and lead. They reflect on the evolution of company culture, the work it took to create a more aligned team, and speak candidly about being willing to suck at something before becoming excellent at it—and why that mindset changed everything. They also touch on personal life reflections: building stability and consistency, maintaining their own health through training, movement, sleep, and nutrition, and how prioritizing their marriage and relationship ultimately strengthened the business. 2025 was one for the books—and this episode is a reminder that real growth happens when you're willing to reflect, adapt, and build with intention.

    You Were Set Up To FAIL (the truth you need to hear) | PD Fit Bits

    If YOU'RE ready to make real, sustainable change in your life, jump on a free call with us - https://physiquedevelopment.typeform.com/to/ToP9TYLE If you've ever wondered why you can't seem to "stick to it," this episode is going to hit home. Coach Sue breaks down how so many people were given bad advice and strategies that were never designed for long-term success. It's not that you lack discipline; it's that you've been trying to follow plans that require perfection to work. From "just eat clean" to "carbs make you fat" to "do more cardio," Sue unpacks the messaging that quietly sets people up to fail, and what you should have been taught instead. She reframes what real progress actually looks like and why consistency comes from structure—not self-judgment. Because it's not about trying harder, it's about trying smarter.

    How Long Should a Muscle‑Building Phase Really Last? (how to MAXIMIZE your results) | PD Podcast Ep.248

    If YOU'RE ready to make real, sustainable change in your life, jump on a free call with us - https://physiquedevelopment.typeform.com/to/ToP9TYLE Over the past few episodes, Sue and Alex have unpacked the truth about bulking—why a massive surplus isn't necessary and what actually drives muscle growth. In today's episode, they dive into how long your muscle-building phase should be. So if you want efficient results and want to feel good while getting there, this episode is for you. They break down what a real, effective, feel-good build phase looks like, and what needs to be addressed before the build even begins. They also explain the optimal length for a muscle-building phase and why staying in hypertrophy for months on end often leads to stalled progress, not better results. Muscle growth requires complementary phases and intentional planning, not just grinding harder in the gym. Because you don't need more effort, you need a better system—one that supports your body, respects your life, and delivers lasting results. Have questions or comments for the podcast?

    Why You Need to STOP Avoiding Your Weaknesses (and use them to your ADVANTAGE instead) | PD Fit Bits

    If YOU'RE ready to make real, sustainable change in your life, jump on a free call with us - https://physiquedevelopment.typeform.com/to/ToP9TYLE If you're tired of starting over and keep wondering if you are the problem, this episode is your reality check. Sue breaks down why knowing your weaknesses, and actually understanding them, is what determines whether you make progress or stay stuck. She walks through three simple ways to identify where you’re getting tripped up, how to stop avoiding your weak spots, and how to build a system that works even when life isn't perfect. Replace friction with structure, build default choices, adjust expectations to match your current season, and stop romanticizing the "perfect" version of you that never actually shows up.

    How to Build Muscle While MINIMIZING Fat Gain (Part 2) | PD Podcast Ep.247

    If YOU'RE ready to make real, sustainable change in your life, jump on a free call with us - https://physiquedevelopment.typeform.com/to/ToP9TYLE Welcome back to Part 2 of How to Build Muscle While Minimizing Fat Gain. In this episode, Sue and Alex continue answering your most common questions about building muscle in a way that feels controlled and sustainable. Muscle gain is an expensive process; your body won't prioritize it unless you’re placing the right demand on it and giving it enough time. Building off last week's foundation, they dive into what realistic muscle gain actually looks like, how to track it, and which metrics are worth paying attention to if you want to see real progress. They unpack macros, tackle the big cardio question, and explain the important role of gut health and proper digestion. This episode brings clarity, realistic expectations, and a reminder that true muscle gain is a slow, methodical process. Have questions or comments for the podcast?
