People at the box might not know Ricardo Santos. A former model turned personal trainer, Ricardo is probably one of those guys you'd glance at in a magazine while thinking, "ugh, genetic lottery winners." But the reality is far different: Ricardo has come a long way from being the scrawny kid that got bullied growing in in Sao Paolo, and the things he's learned about life balance, self-care and fitness are something we can all learn from. 

It's a new year, and Coach Chevy joins Justin in the studio to talk about all the new stuff going on... and the difficulty of getting back into the swing of things.

Whitney Cline has been a regular at our gym for years, but aside from her strength and impeccable fashion, many of us don't know much about her. In this episode she opens up about overcoming her difficult childhood, her repeated encounters with addicts, and what it finally took to love herself.

We wrap up our deep dives into the show hosts by burrowing deep into Wes Mendelson, a guy who normally offers a kind smile but doesn't share much. Turns out, still waters run deep! Plus, some news about the future of the show. Check it out!

Last month we did Paul, but this time the interviewer has become the interviewee. It's Justin's turn in the hot seat, and he pulls no punches in talking about the sad, self-loathing nerd he used to be, and the bizarre path that led him to fitness and, to some extent, emotional health.

We all know Paul, but do we REALLY know Paul? In this episode we do a deep dive into Paul Austad's past, his childhood in Minnesota, what brought him to LA, and the experiences that made him who he is. It's one of the most refreshingly honest conversations we've had yet. Also, fill-in cohost Dayvora has another fitness tip for you.
