What kinds of things should you be looking for when getting a gym membership?  It's a more important question than you might think.  A gym is a place we go to become better versions of ourselves, so it's crucial that we choose the gym that can actually help us achieve that goal. Listen on as 3 (as Coach Hunter cheekily put it) "Gym Bros" chat about what makes an ideal gym as well as what makes a less than ideal gym...

The trainers at Success will likely encourage their clients to track what they eat, but do the trainers themselves track?? In this episode (part 1 of 2), four Success trainers (Grace, Hunter, Nikki, and Tom) explain why they do or do not track, as well as go over the nuances of the practice.  But stay tuned for part 2, where we will dive even deeper into the nitty gritty of FOOD TRACKING!

Do you have more of a "growth mindset" or more of a "fixed mindset"? No worries if you don't know what these mindset types imply - that's what this episode is for!  But before we really even get into it, we can already tell you that you likely have a mix of both, and that's ok!  That being said, we definitely encourage a growth mindset, as it is a surefire way to make improvements in many areas of your life!

Aaron Maltz has spent the majority of his life as someone intent on spreading the genuine good word on health and fitness.  His decades long fitness career eventually led him to the creation of FitLabb - an online fitness and nutrition platform.  As Aaron puts it, "We [at FitLabb) are firm believers that everyone has the ability within themselves to create a healthy body and mind, but they may simply lack the knowledge, support, or...

Children are little adults, and adults are big children.  We are all human in the end, but kids are the impressionable ones, while adults are the ones making the impression.  In a world where being overweight and obese is rampant, children are not excluded from these afflictions.  But, at the end of the day, parents dictate a lot of the lifestyle choices of their kids.  In this episode, we were lucky enough to get the perspectives ...

Coach Jesse actually studied music in college, so it's fitting that he ultimately would suggest this topic for an episode!  And Coach Tom loved the outside the box subject!

 

When you step into a gym to smash a workout, or a stadium to watch a sporting event, music will almost certainly be playing in the background.  Music is often associated with fitness and athletics, but why? Perhaps it's simply because music is always on when w...

Perhaps a silly question for some, but this is actually an important semantical distinction to make: What is the difference between "physical activity" and "exercise"? In short, physical activity is anything that involves movement, but isn't a planned workout.  Exercise on the other hand is a planned workout, and involves calculated progression towards a fitness goal.  For all the specifics and dirty details, listen on!
