In episode 3 I chat with Jillian Keaveny. Jillian is a full time fitness and yoga instructor, personal trainer and FNTP in Denver, Colo. Alongside co-founding Compass Fitness and her full time teaching schedule, Jillian produces fitness and yoga events, including 5280 Magazine's Wellness Boost, is a certified Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner through the Nutritional Therapy Association and is passionate about a little thing called the Enneagram.

Jillian began playing sports early in life securing a college basketball scholarship.

Our conversation touches on how tragedy impacted her life and brought her to Denver, the passion behind opening a studio of her own, which is completely trainer owned and nutrition and why we all need to be paying more attention to what we eat.

This is a great conversation for anyone that wants a look into the boutique fitness world right now.

In this episode of Behind the Sweat I chat with Sarah White, the Boston based yoga and fitness instructor best known as The Coastal Yogi. Sarah is the founder of The Coastal Method which provides courses for yoga instructors and home workout classes for students. Her mission is to inspire yogis coast to coast and she does this by helping students find transformation on their mats.

We drive deep into Sarah’s own transformation from a coxswain on her high school and college rowing teams to the yogi you know and love today.

Welcome to the Behind the Sweat podcast! This is our very first episode and I am so excited to share this project with you. Sports right now look so very different from what we are used to and this is a good thing. This change kept bringing up the thought, what does it mean to be an athlete?

The question led me to wanting to start this podcast. I am sitting down with all different types of athletes, as they share their stories and answer the question, what does it mean to be an athlete?

In this episode I chatted with Brittany Charboneau. Brittany is known as the Funny Runner. She uses her comedic background in her approach to her career as a professional road and trail runner. Every run has a playful purpose and is an opportunity to spread joy!

Brittany graduated from The Second City's sketch writing program in Chicago and has taught improv comedy at The Bovine Metropolis Theater in Denver. Brittany's most recent running accomplishments include winner of the 2020 Pikes Peak Marathon,  13th place finish at the 2020 Olympic Marathon Trials with a time of 2:33:13, winner of the 2019 Marine Corps Marathon, winner of the 2019 Leadville Heavy Half Trail Marathon and most recently setting an FKT (fastest known time) on the Maroon Bells Four Pass Loop 27-mile trail run.

Although she has been running for nearly 20 years, it took Brittany over 15 years to ever win a race. The spark of belief in herself is what has launched her career to new heights over the past several years. She is a running coach, speaker and proud supporter of her "Jusband"'s custom sugar cookie company, SugarTats Cookie Co.

Welcome to Behind the Sweat. A podcast that goes deep into what it takes to be an athlete. My name is Alexandra Weissner and I am a lifelong athlete and the co-founder of bRUNch Running. If you were every to ask me how I define myself, athlete would be the first word out of my mouth. With this in mind and because the Olympics were postponed, I started thinking about what it means to be an athlete.

On this podcast, I will work on answering that question and many more as I sit down with athletes as they share their stories. You will also hear from coaches, support crews and experts on what tools, tips, and studies have to say about being an athlete.

What does being an athlete mean to you? Let me know by sharing your story with the hashtag #behindthesweat?

Listen in every Monday for a new inspiring episode.
