In this special episode of The Gi Spot, Rach and Kaz hand the mics back to their long-suffering and much-loved partners: Grant (Rach’s husband) and Producer Matt (Kaz’s husband and behind-the-scenes wrangler of audio chaos).

Together, the crew reflects on the year that was — from highs and chokes to those “why am I still doing this?” moments — and set their sights on what 2026 might hold.

Whether it’s dealing with comp prep nerves, evolving gym culture, or training while juggling life/kids/work/bodies that don’t always cooperate, this is a conversation full of insight, a few spicy takes, and many laughs.

Think of it as the end-of-year roundtable you didn’t know you needed: four people, one shared obsession with the mat, and wildly different coping strategies.
