About Bikini Podcast
From the publisher's feed
This fitness and bodybuilding podcast was created because I was sick and tired of the lies, the bullshit, and the misinformation in the Fitness Industry.
I wanted to provide an educational, yet motivational platform for all listeners to ask questions, seek answers, to learn TRUTH.
I’ve seen some of the nastiest things you could see within the industry.
I will discuss everything with complete transparency, sharing my experiences and explaining the good, the bad and discussing some of the things to look out for and expect in your journey within the industry.
