I run solo on Episode 10 and discuss why I started out as a personal trainer and why I am passionate about helping over 30s reclaim their body and get in shape - a quick review of liquorice allsorts pops in aswell. 

This weeks guest is Iain Allen, a fellow da, coach and strength enthusiast.

We chat about being new to the dad game and the changes in training approach that being a parent brings.  We also discuss how it has allowed us to coach better and empathise with clients that are parents.

Iain Allen is the owner of Everyday Strong in Kilmarnock and he coaches men and women to get stronger, drop fat and gain confidence in their own skin.

I am joined by Heather Moffat, a MNU Certified Nutritionist and Crossfitting mum. We chat all about nutrition and the common mistakes or myths that surround nutrition still whilst bringing up our own mistakes and stories along the way.

Me and Ian Fulton coach and  owner of Primal Performance Ayrshire discuss why "comparison is the thief of joy"  and why being active is important for your noggin.

This episode is a belter. Me and good friend Simon Lavell head coach and owner of West End Workouts have a deep chat about meeting and starting our fitness businesses, mental health, lack of self belief, why discipline is king and how we as coaches help people master themselves.

Simon is an ex miltary man and he has a no nonsense approach to fitness - like myself he says things how they are.

This  weeks guest is Sean Jimminson (I wrongly call him Jamison ) a  Personal Trainer from Carnoustie. He works mainly with fat loss clients in small groups and online. He prides himself on teaching his clients the unsexy truth about real fat loss and how to train for results without being shackled to boring gym workouts or classes.

We talk briefly about Sean's background and us starting out as personal trainers before moving on to the main topic - the nutritional pitfalls over 30s make when aiming to lose fat.

This weeks guest is Scott McMillan, 5th Degree Black Belt, owner of a Phoenix Tae Kwon Do and one of my first coaches and mentor figures as a youngster.

Was awesome to have him on the podcast and find out what he is doing to adapt to lockdown and what his vision for Pheonix Tae Kwon Do is.

Our main topic today was mentors and mentorship - Why do people need mentorship and what role does it play in self development?

This weeks guest is Drew Wilson owner of a gym called Dual Fitness in Dundonald,  South Ayrshire. 

Myself and Drew dive into the common pitfalls of the new years resolution crowd, and as usual we meander through a host of other topics and stories along the way.

"Dual Fitness is a  small community based gym and as a member you will experience a close  knit, motivated and highly educated culture that will assist you on your  journey whatever that may be - from 16 years and over you have the ability to join us and change your health and fitness for good."

I'm joined on the podcast by friend, colleague and fellow fit pro Kristian Hill. I forgot to go over Kristian's fine credentials but he operates a bootcamp and is a personal trainer in Kilmarnock. Kristian has a miltary background and is known for his no nonsense approach to fitness often dispelling myths and challenging old beliefs. Today we dived in on what "mindset" people often have in terms of fitness or self improvement and what may need to shift in 2021 to get results and grow. 

An introduction to Andy Banks, Banks Fit, the vision and the podcast!

I want to help the over 30 crowd on their fitness and self improvement journey as much as I can.
