In today’s episode Sam & Mikey are joined by Ben Te Maro for the Mardi Gra Special!

Ben Te Maro is an occupational therapist from Auckland who works in child & adolescent mental health & suicide prevention who also dabbles in mental health training & research. He also happens to be a group fitness instructor!

The guys start by discussing toxic masculinity in the fitness industry & their experience with it, then broaden the conversation to discuss multiple topics!

Should fitness be fun? Is being solely focused on a fitness lifestyle healthy? Does a dysfunctional relationship with exercise look different for men? Dealing with thoughts and talking to yourself. Are trainers qualified enough? Is it too easy to become a fitness professional?
