Sabrina and her client, Kaley, joins us to talk about her journey. Kaley walks us through the last decade of her life, which included phases of rigid compliance to diet and exercise, pushing her limits, doing everything “right” but still having life catch up to her, why she celebrates the old versions of herself, and how she learned to give up all her self-imposed “shoulds” to find balance in her life.

Emi and Sabrina join us to talk about body image. It’s a topic we could talk about endlessly, because body image and body image issues are something we confront every day, both as coaches and as human beings. We talk about the social pressures we are willingly and unwillingly subjected to, how (social) media diets can affect the perceptions of ourselves, why the mirror lies, and why working towards a goal of accepting yourself while acknowledging your capacity to change is one of the most important goals we help people work towards.

Carly and her client, Michelle, join us to share Michelle’s journey. She talks about navigating one of the most difficult periods of her life, the challenges of listening to nutrition advice that she knows is true, settling into the different seasons of life, and what it’s like to grow through it all.

Emi and Maggie join us for a good conversation on the need to be realistic in your journey. Building a set of skills and habits that set you up for success over a lifetime will more than likely take longer than a few days or weeks. More importantly, your desired results will as well. It’s worth it to settle in and do the hard work. Of course, you will be most successful if you are not expecting instant gratification or an overnight miracle.

Whitney and Ashley T. join us to give us a primer on winter sports- mainly skiing and snowboarding. We talk about how to navigate the very real barriers to entry-the high costs and location limitations- and all the secret hacks they’ve learned along the way on how to find great gear for cheap, ways to get mountain passes cheaply, what you’ll need on an alpine trip.

Chris, Emi and Kiefer stop in to talk about periodization- what it is, how it’s used, why it’s so important and necessary for successful progress in strength and fitness (we also advocate periodization for diets too! A topic for another time). We talk about how it’s used in various strength sports and explore the divergent ways in which it is implemented.

We get to know two of our newest coaches, Jason and Chloe and invite them to discuss strategies for a successful holiday season. From how to plan for travel to how to eat on the big day, they got you covered!

It’s cold and flu season! Be careful out there. Practice caution. But if you happen to catch a case, Margaux and Carly join us to talk about what to do about it. Primarily we want you to do what you can as you recover. Don’t stress about macros, don’t stress about eating right. Just get rest and hydrate. That’s the main takeaway.

Yo-yo dieting, crash dieting, whatever you want to call it is taking a short duration and sometimes extreme approach to calorie restriction with a goal of weight loss. And more often than not, a thing that brings only temporary results. Lauren and Sam join us to talk about yo yo dieting, why yo yo diets don’t work long term and what mindset changes and tools people can use to change their approach to see long term success.

Sabrina and one of our newest coaches, Jason, join us to talk about injuries, limitations and general circumstances that might arise that cause setbacks in life and training. Sometimes giving your all means giving 40% of what you would normally have, but it’s still 100% in the circumstance.
