    #177 The Real Reason Your Workouts Aren’t Working

    Why can two people do the exact same workout and get completely different results? In this episode, I’m talking about one of the most overlooked parts of training: intent. From running intervals to strength work in the gym, the goal of a session matters just as much as the workout itself. When you understand what a workout is actually trying to improve, whether that’s strength, speed, endurance, recovery, or technique, you train smarter and get better results. This episode is for everyone, from competitive runners to everyday people who just want to stay strong, healthy, and moving well for a long time.

    #176 Intentional Intensity: How to Turn the Dial Up Without Burning Out

    Is "sustainability" actually holding you back? 📉 We talk a lot about sustainable fitness—finding a plan that fits your real life, your family, and your work. But lately, I’ve been chewing on a different thought: Sustainability is the goal, but Intensity is the engine that gets you there. In this episode of the MVMT Strength Podcast, we’re breaking down the concept of Intentional Intensity. This isn't about fake hustle or punishing yourself; it’s about choosing a season of life where a goal matters enough to organize your life around it. Whether you're training for a marathon, a wedding, or just trying to build the momentum to finally stick to a routine, sometimes "doing less" isn't the answer. Sometimes, you need to turn the dial up on purpose. In this video, we discuss: The Sustainability Trap: Why simple consistency is great, but sometimes it leads to "drifting." Intentional Intensity vs. Reckless Hustle: How to tell the difference. The Boston Lesson: What training to qualify for the Boston Marathon taught me about focus and sacrifice. Building the Momentum: Why the first part of any journey is always the heaviest lift—and how intensity makes it easier. Seasons of Life: How to know when to go "all-in" and when to shift back into maintenance. Sustainability is what keeps the wheel spinning, but Intensity is what gets it moving in the first place. 🔗 Are you ready to stop the drift? Check out our programs at https://www.mvmts.ca or book a No-Sweat Intro to find your focus. 📧 What season of life are you in right now? Are you maintaining, or is it time to turn the dial up?

    #175 The Essentialist: Why "Less" is the Key to Your Best Results

    Most people are failing at the gym not because they aren’t doing enough, but because they are doing too much. The $100 billion fitness industry thrives on complexity. They want you to believe that if your workout isn’t a 6-day split with fancy machines and 90-minute sessions, it doesn't count. But if you’re a busy professional in your 30s, 40s, or 50s, complexity is the enemy of consistency. Inspired by the philosophy of Essentialism, this episode is about the "disciplined pursuit of less" in the gym. We’re breaking down the Minimum Effective Dose (MED)—the 20% of movements that give you 80% of your results. In this episode, we discuss: The Complexity Trap: Why adding more "fluff" to your workout is actually slowing your progress. The Vital Few: The 4 "boring" movements (Squat, Hinge, Push, Pull) that build a body that lasts. The Mastery Curve: Why being "bored" is actually a sign that you’re finally getting strong. It’s time to stop chasing novelty and start chasing results. Whether you’re balancing a career, a family, or both, learn how to build a resilient, high-performance body without living in the gym. Listen now and stop the "slow leak" of your time.

    #174 Stop Training Like a 20-Year-Old

    We dive into why strength is the ultimate insurance policy against aging and why your "Healthspan" is far more important than your "Lifespan." What You’ll Learn: The "Muscle as Medicine" Framework: Why muscle is actually an endocrine organ that regulates your metabolism and immune system. Healthspan vs. Lifespan: Why living to 90 doesn't matter if you can't get out of a chair for the last 20 years. The Sarcopenia Trap: How the "natural" loss of muscle is the leading cause of frailty and how to stop the leak. The Minimum Viable Dose: The specific types of movements you need to be doing now to stay independent later.

    #173 Where to Eat Healthy in London + Our Perfect 24-Hour Day

    In this episode, Isaac and Brooke share their go-to healthy eating spots around London, Ontario! From quick grab-and-go options like Green Window and Chickpeas to sit-down favorites like Ozen Sushi and Thaifoon, they break down where to find high-protein meals when eating out. They discuss the challenge of finding protein-rich options at restaurants (spoiler: carbs and fats are always cheaper!) and share specific menu recommendations. Then things get fun as they each plan their perfect 24-hour day in London for visiting family. From workouts and coffee shops to beaches and breweries, Isaac's action-packed itinerary (featuring multiple workouts, endless coffees, and rock climbing) contrasts hilariously with Brooke's more relaxed day of great food and local experiences. Plus: Sprint accountability check-in, protein shake recipes, and why vanilla is the ultimate versatile protein powder!

    #172 Two Simple Things You Can Do Today to Make This Week Better

    In this short episode, Isaac and Brooke each share one simple thing you can do today to make the rest of your week better. Not next week. Not Monday. Today. Brooke talks about choosing the one thing you’ve been avoiding and finally doing it — the walk, the prep, the follow-through — and why building discipline and self-trust matters more than a “perfect” week. Isaac shares the habit that had the biggest impact on his life last year: going to bed 15 minutes earlier. Not an hour. Not a complete overhaul. Just a small, realistic shift that compounds over time. They also dig into why all-or-nothing thinking keeps people stuck, how small increments actually create momentum, and why simple habits done consistently beat complicated plans every time. If you’ve had a rough week, feel behind, or keep telling yourself you’ll “get back on it Monday,” this episode is for you. Do the thing. Go to bed earlier. The week’s not over yet.

    #171 Hard Truths, No Sugarcoating (with Courtney from Lost)

    This week I’m joined by Courtney from Lost Cycle for an episode that’s equal parts hilarious and a little bit of a January reality check. We get into the hard truths people need to hear when they’re chasing fitness goals: finishing what you start, cutting the corner habits that keep you stuck, setting realistic expectations, and building discipline that lasts past the “new year motivation” phase. We also talk about the emotional side of it all: comparison, life stress, grief, and why some of the hardest seasons can actually be the best time to dial it in. Plus, a few side quests (Portuguese lessons, spin shoe recs, and a questionable skincare routine). And yes, we also touch on Courtney’s running journey, including the fact that I coached her for her first marathon, where she casually ran a Boston qualifying time… no biggie. If you’ve been feeling behind, stuck, or like you “keep falling off,” this one will hit.

    #170 Fitness While Traveling: What Actually Matters

    Travel is one of the easiest places for people to fall off track with their fitness, not because they don’t care, but because routine disappears. In this episode, Isaac and Brooke break down what staying on track while traveling actually means. Using a recent work trip to Florida as a real-life example, they talk about how fitness can (and should) look different when you’re away from home. They cover: What “staying on track” really means during travel How to maintain momentum without a gym or perfect routine Simple movement, nutrition, sleep, and mindset anchors that actually work The “bare minimum” approach to travel fitness What not to do when you get home This episode is all about removing guilt, ditching all-or-nothing thinking, and learning how to travel as someone who trains, without letting a trip undo months of progress.
