Coaches Hour

Every business mentor screams about “consistent 10K months” – but almost nobody talks about what actually happens when you get there. In this episode of The Coach’s Hour, Hym and Jewade pull back the curtain on the hidden costs of chasing 10K: tax and VAT thresholds, heavy workloads, the impact on service quality, and the realities of hiring staff or success coaches.They break down the maths, the client numbers, the subscriptions, and the psychological toll so you can decide whether you really want 10K… or whether 7K (or 15K) actually makes far more sense for your life, your energy, and your clients.

In this Christmas special of The Coaches Hour, Hym and Jewade talk honestly about what the festive season is really like for coaches. Clients slow down, cashflow gets ropey, and suddenly you’re torn between wanting time off and feeling guilty for not working.They dive into how they personally handle Christmas, what they tell their clients, why January sign-ups are overrated, and how the coaches who start now (Oct/Nov) always seem to do better.

In this episode of The Coach’s Hour, Hym and Jewade go through all the stereotypical things coaches and clients say and do.

The phrases that make your eye twitch, the industry trends that need to go in the bin, and the behind-the-scenes reality of life as a PT. From “in the trenches” and “fall in love with the process” to caffeine addictions, “weekly dumps”, morning routine reels, scholarship gimmicks and back-to-back 10-hour days on the gym floor, they pull apart the clichés with honesty and humour.

If you’re a coach, you’ll 100% tick a few off this list.

In this episode of The Coaches Hour, Hym and Jewade unpack the recent wave of fitness-industry drama: Mike Israetel vs “Solomon,” Coach Kassem vs Scientific Snitch, Jeff Nippard vs Mike Van Wyck, and more.They question who these debates actually serve, how much any of it matters for gen-pop clients, and why so many coaches feel more pressure to “be right” than to be helpful.The conversation dives into imposter syndrome, overcomplicating training with hyper-niche science, and the difference between what you like to know versus what you need to know to coach real humans. If you’ve ever felt dumb watching experts argue over lats while your 6am client just wants to lose a muffin top, this one’s for you.
