In this week's episode of Nacho Fitness Coach, Caleigh and Sara are breaking down ten of the biggest myths in the fitness and wellness world—and we’re not holding back. From miracle pills to the myth of being "too old" to start, we’re calling out the B.S. and giving you the facts (plus our tangents along the way, as per usual). Whether you’re tired of being told you’ll get bulky from lifting or think your cortisol levels are ruining your life, we’ve got you covered—with plenty of silly goose fun and real talk. Bonus: Caleigh finally identifies as a fitness person, but only on Tuesdays.Connect with us on social media!Instagram | TikTok | Threads | Youtube | Facebook | X (Twitter) | WebsiteThis podcast offers health, fitness, and nutritional information and is designed for educational and entertainment purposes only.

This week on Nacho Fitness Coach, Caleigh and Sara dive headfirst into the bizarre world of fake fitness—literally. From prop dumbbells to questionable silicone workout toys (yes, we’re looking at you, Dill Bell), we’re calling out the ridiculous trends that somehow keep going viral. But between the laughs and side-eyes, we’re also asking the real question: Why is there still so much resistance to picking up actual heavy weights?We talk about the physical and mental benefits of strength training, the lingering myths around “bulking up,” and how women are often sold gimmicks instead of empowerment. Plus, Caleigh explains why she’ll be cheering on the sidelines in her Taekwondo Mom Era, and Sara brings the fire (again) about why lifting heavy isn’t just for gym bros.Come for the laughs, stay for the unsolicited parenting stories and chaotic energy—we promise, this one’s a workout in itself.Connect with us on social media!Instagram | TikTok | Threads | Youtube | Facebook | X (Twitter) | WebsiteThis podcast offers health, fitness, and nutritional information and is designed for educational and entertainment purposes only.

This week on Nacho Fitness Coach, Caleigh and Sara accidentally stumble into one of the most heated debates in podcast history: is it pronounced niche like quiche… or niche like witch?What starts as a tangent about sexual wellness (don’t ask) turns into a full-blown pronunciation showdown—with hot mic confessions, unsolicited Google searches, and a deeply scientific breakdown involving oat milk, kettlebells, and chaotic beauty.It’s six minutes of completely unplanned, entirely unnecessary, and 100% on-brand content we just couldn’t keep to ourselves.

This week on Nacho Fitness Coach, Caleigh and Sara go full FBI mode on the fitness industry. We’re talking fake dumbbells, sketchy transformation pics, shady supplement companies, and influencers who conveniently forget to mention they’re on medication while selling you their latest program. From photoshopped abs to “pain-relieving” T-shirts, it’s a wild ride through the smoke and mirrors of wellness content online. Also, Caleigh cut off all her hair, our office plant has died (RIP), and Sara may need spelling supervision. If you’ve ever felt discouraged comparing yourself to fitness content online, this episode will set the record straight—and make you laugh along the way.Connect with us on social media!Instagram | TikTok | Threads | Youtube | Facebook | X (Twitter) | WebsiteThis podcast offers health, fitness, and nutritional information and is designed for educational and entertainment purposes only.

This week on Nacho Fitness Coach, Caleigh and Sara go completely off the rails with a chaotic bonus episode of “Would You Rather” – and yes, it gets weird. From choosing between eating live crickets or earthworms to debating the pros and cons of hair for teeth (why is this a thing?!), we’re asking the important questions no one else is brave enough to tackle. We also discuss whether we’d rather gain 100 pounds or lose 15 inches of height, if burpees should be illegal, and why Caleigh thinks mushrooms are just earthworms in disguise.

This week on Nacho Fitness Coach, Caleigh and Sara sit down with the powerhouse that is Kerstin Schulze—celebrity trainer, gym owner, and expert in making big results happen with little time. We dive into the world of body recomposition, goal setting with high stakes (hello Thor transformation), and why short, efficient workouts might be the holy grail for busy people. From the truth about long cardio sessions to tips for managing hormones, stress, and nighttime sugar cravings, Kerstin breaks down what really works and why—and yes, Caleigh considers fasting for longer than 12 hours. Whether you're curious about recomposition, burnt out from group fitness, or just want permission to take baby steps, this episode will leave you feeling empowered and maybe even ready to sprint... for 30 seconds, max.Connect with us on social media!Instagram | TikTok | Threads | Youtube | Facebook | X (Twitter) | WebsiteThis podcast offers health, fitness, and nutritional information and is designed for educational and entertainment purposes only.

This week on Nacho Fitness Coach, Caleigh and Sara go shaker-to-shaker in the ultimate protein shake showdown. From mix ratios to mouthfeel (yes, we said it), we're taste-testing what happens when your post-workout shake leans more pudding than pourable. Caleigh’s got thoughts, Sara’s got protein math, and poor Allen is just trying to survive his first shake ever. We’re breaking down the great water-to-powder debate and daring to ask: do you sip it, shoot it, or… spit it back out? Join us for messy textures, too much eye contact, and the conclusion that consistency (in your shakes and your habits) might matter more than the flavor.Connect with us on social media!Instagram | TikTok | Threads | Youtube | Facebook | X (Twitter) | WebsiteThis podcast offers health, fitness, and nutritional information and is designed for educational and entertainment purposes only.

This week on Nacho Fitness Coach, Caleigh and Sara dive into one of the most misunderstood concepts in nutrition: the difference between eating healthy and eating for weight loss. We talk about how your personality—whether you're more of a "cook" or a "baker"—can shape your approach to fitness and nutrition, and why that actually matters when you're setting goals. We also get into journaling (of both the food and feelings variety), Gusher confessionals, banana girth (this again?), and how sometimes the smallest tweaks make the biggest difference. Plus, we cover the moment Caleigh realized ChatGPT might actually be her best assistant… and possibly her therapist. It’s another episode full of useful info, unhinged tangents, and way too much discussion about fruit size.Connect with us on social media!Instagram | TikTok | Threads | Youtube | Facebook | X (Twitter) | WebsiteThis podcast offers health, fitness, and nutritional information and is designed for educational and entertainment purposes only.

This week on Nacho Fitness Coach, Caleigh and Sara decide to start with a wall sit… and things spiral from there. What begins as a test of leg strength turns into an unplanned, chaotic 5-minute bodyweight workout, complete with heart rate spikes, drywall damage, and Caleigh nearly passing out in jeans. We laugh (a lot), learn that jumping jacks aren’t for the faint of pelvic floor, and talk about how just a few minutes of intentional movement a day can make a difference. Spoiler alert: you don’t need a gym membership to move your body—just a wall, a questionable idea, and a co-host willing to suffer for content.Connect with us on social media!Instagram | TikTok | Threads | Youtube | Facebook | X (Twitter) | WebsiteThis podcast offers health, fitness, and nutritional information and is designed for educational and entertainment purposes only.
