Episode 2 – Chris Spicer: Training for Life, Not Just the Podium

In this episode, we sit down with local athlete, RAF chef, CrossFit coach, and father of three — Chris Spicer.

Chris brings a refreshingly honest and down-to-earth perspective on fitness, fatherhood, and finding balance when life is full-on. From competing at the British Masters in Olympic weightlifting, to coaching functional fitness at CrossFit Wessex, to cooking for thousands in RAF deployment kitchens — Chris has done a bit of everything… and then some.

We talk about:

• Why learning to move well matters more than lifting heavy

• How CrossFit helped him build resilience through grief

• What he's learned about fuelling performance from life as a chef

• How he supports clients who are juggling family life and fitness

• And how staying fit helps him keep up with three young daughters — bikes, holidays, chaos and all

This one's full of practical tips, gentle mindset reframes, and stories that remind us that fitness isn't just about PBs — it's about showing up for yourself, your people, and the life you want to live.

Whether you're just starting out or you're already in the game, Chris's approach is proof that you can train hard and be kind to yourself — all while keeping a coffee in one hand and a toddler in the other.
