Gym Bag Confessions
Welcome to Gym Bag Confessions with your gym besties, Rochelle and AnnMarie—where fitness gets real, fun, and just a little bit sweaty. We’re spilling the tea from inside the gym bag: from workout wins and epic fails to the gym-girlie stuff no one talks about (yes, that too). Get ready for unfiltered convos, real talk on lifting, wellness stuff, and making gains (both in and out of the gym). If you’ve ever wondered what actually goes down between sets, spoiler: it’s more than just catching your breath. Whether you’re hitting your first squat or chasing your next PR, you belong here. Grab your water bottle, sis, and tune in every week—because someone’s gotta spill the pre-workout tea, and it might as well be us.
