If we’d asked ChatGPT to write this caption it would probably say this podcast is “No Fluff.”  Not only would that be incredibly cringe, it would also be quite untrue.  What you’ll actually get from this podcast is a real world view and perspective on training, nutrition and lifestyle from 2 guys that combined have been training and coaching for over 30 years. We want to make fitness more accessible, remove barriers that stop people making this a consistent part of their lives and have some fun, tell a few stories and invariably go off on a few tangents along the way.
