"Tonewell Next Gen Wellness Tech" with Alex Fredericks

Season 2. Episode 20!This week's guest is a growing name in the instagram space for machine reviews, critiques and biomechanics. Jeremy Amin is a fellow colleague from Australia that recently got back into personal training after a few year hiatus. I came across Jeremy on instagram watching some of his detailed reviews and we decided he'd be great to have on. In this week's episode we talk about Jeremy's background in fitness, leaving the field and coming back to it, discovering HIT and his online review and machine critiques. Jeremy has a fantastic eye for biomechanics and we cover a lot in this episode. Be sure to give him a follow (HERE). If you love home gym equipment there is one product that is on the market that is a MUST HAVE for any true home gym enthusiast. The ⁠⁠WIDE BODY BENCH⁠⁠ is a true "Jack of All Trades". Not just a premium adjustable bench, but with their patent pending ecosystem of attachments its also a multi-press (chest, incline, and shoulders), a pec fly, and a elite level seated bicep curl.

The 2.0 bench is built like a tank, ultra premium padding and construction, and unlike any other home gym piece you've ever seen.

Season 2! Episode 18!So honored to be joined this week by the founder, CEO and president of Wide Body Bench, Mark Apuzzo!Mark and I connected through Instagram. I found one of his first generation benches on Facebook Marketplace for a steal and decided to add it to my home gym arsenal. After posting a few videos of me using the bench (integrated with my Speediance Gym Monster), Wide Body Bench (aka Mark), reached out to me. We chatted a bit and as I learned more about his story I knew I had to get him on the podcast. Mark is a 20 year vet in the Air Force, currently based in Montana. During one of his previous deployments early in his career he was introduced to powerlifting and fell in love. As he's grown in his lifting career, he realized there was something missing in the space. Mark and his wife worked hard to come up with the Wide Body Bench and it's extended ecosystem. His passion for the product and his goal of making the world's MOST premium benches shines through in this episode. Mark is so passionate and with reason. His product is AMAZING. I have zero affiliation with WBB, but I can genuinely say this is one of the BEST home gym products I've ever used, and the version 2.0 is leaps and bounds better than my original facebook marketplace purchase. If there is one product that you could add to your home gym that would give you the most bang for your buck, it is the Wide Body Bench. Definitely give this episode a listen and if you're interested, go check out their products HERE. To be clear I have no affiliation, I receive no kick-backs, I simply LOVE the product and I'm honored to have Mark on the show.

Season 2! Episode 16!So excited for this episode with my friend and colleague Ashley Hromyak AKA "Ashley The AMAZING!" Ashley is a former Army Airborne Combat Vet (specialized joint unit) with multiple deployments under her belt. It was in the Army where she found her love for strength and conditioning and after coming back built a coaching business helping everyone from stay at home moms, to IFBB pros. Ashley also holds her own IFBB pro card... in 3 different divisions!!We met through our love of home gym equipment at Home Gym Con 2025 and have stayed in touch since. I'm blown away by Ashley's continued desire to improve and level up. After returning form overseas she also got her BS and MS is exercise science and started teaching in person and online at George Mason University. She's currently back in school pursuing her EdD (Doctorate in Education) in Sports Nutrition Science, and hopes to make teaching her full time occupation. She also has a SICK home gym and a large following on IG and YT, reviewing gym equipment, sharing workout advice, and helping people get in the best shape possible. You can find her YT channel HERE.

Season 2 Episode 13!I'm so freaking stoked for this episode! Dr. Stu Phillips, PhD joins the show this week. Stu is one of the leading protein and exercise science researchers in the WORLD. He's a senior lecturer at McMaster University in Ontario (we've had a lot of his students on the show), and like most Canadians... he may be the nicest person on the planet. I've been trying to get Stu on the show for over a year and I'm so honored that he was finally able to set aside some time to come and chat with the EIB audience. In this episode we discuss a new term that he's coined "Orthometria", basically the compulsion and obsession with measuring everything health and fitness related. I had a recent viral post inspired by this exact topic by Stu on my LinkedIn HERE. We discuss why obsessing over your tracker, HRV's, RHR, VO2, Sleep scores, etc, might actually be doing more harm then good. We also had some additional time to dive into a really interesting discussion about strength vs. hypertrophy. How the two are correlated, but why it's not always a 1:1 ratio. I think you will REALLY enjoy this episode and if you like it you should 100% check out Stu's new podcast with fellow McMaster scholar Dr. Martin Gibala called "Real Exercise Science". For those who like to watch the episodes we did have a small technical glitch in the recording where we lost Stu's video (towards the last third), but thankfully the audio stayed intact.

Season 2, Episode 12This week I'm so excited to be joined by my good friend and colleague Tony Burns of "Burns Gym" in the UK. Tony and his brother Joe created Burns Gym with the goal of helping people improve their lives with personal training. Over the years its transformed into something much bigger. Burns Gym now specializes in creating incredibly high quality strength training workouts for senior care centers all over the UK and now into the US. Residents log in at a designated time and join in with other centers to work on mobility, strength, balance and more. Tony and Joe lead them through all of this remotely from their studio in Glasgow, Scotland wearing their kilts. In this episode we discuss the business, and how they've managed to scale it across the Atlantic and make it so successful. We also talk about the future of the company and how they hope to continue to help more seniors in the future. This one is an inspiration for aspiring entrepreneurs and trainers alike.

Season 2. Episode 11!Excited today to have on a brand new guest Jeremy Hudson. Jeremy is the founder of the Hudson Institute of Performance Enhancement (HERE) and a strength and conditioning coach in Canada. Jeremy and I connected recently on LinkedIn over a post I had made questioning the long standing paradigm of the strength endurance continuum. Prompted by a study from Brad Schoenfeld's lab out of Lehman College in New York (HERE).The long standing belief has been that strength, hypertrophy and muscular endurance exist on a spectrum of training. This desired outcome is mitigated based on things like the relative weight and reps performed for specific exercises and which type of outcome they would impact. More specifically if you're training for "strength" you should work in the 1-5 rep range with a relatively high percentage of your 1-RM. If for instance you wanted to target an muscular "endurance" outcome, you would use a lighter relative load and train with a higher rep volume (20+ reps). This is what I was taught in school and is still widely taught today. However, recent research (like the paper from Schoenfeld) has shown that this continuum is not as cut and dry as we once thought. Specifically with hypertrophy (muscle growth), there exists a wide range of reps and weights that create a desirable response. Jeremy and I discuss in detail what this means, not just for athletes, but also casual lifting enthusiasts and how to apply this new understanding to get the most out of your resistance training workouts. I think you'll really enjoy this in depth discussion into a nuanced topic, with a real expert practitioner.
