Hey there! 👋 I'm Jayd Harrison (Jaydigains), personal trainer and host of the Coaching Corner podcast. In this episode, I’m diving into one of the biggest struggles I see—staying consistent, especially when you're trying to lose fat or make long-term changes to your health and fitness. After over a decade as a personal trainer, I’ve noticed that the people who actually get results—and keep them—share a few core habits.

I’m breaking down the five things they do differently:

💪 They cultivate discipline (even when motivation fades)

🧠 They have a mentor or coach to guide them

💬 They build a strong support system

🎯 They take ownership of their progress

🔥 And they learn to embrace the hard days instead of running from them

If you’ve ever felt stuck, fallen off track, or wondered why some people seem to crush their goals while others spin their wheels—this episode is for you.

We’ll talk routines, accountability, and what it really means to commit to your fitness journey with a growth mindset. And if you're looking for personalized support, I offer online coaching to help you stay accountable and get results that last.

🎧 Tune in now and let’s level up your consistency game.

Hey there! 👋 I'm Jayd Harrison (Jaydigains), personal trainer and host of the Coaching Corner podcast. In this episode, I break down what it really means to have a fast or slow metabolism and answer a great question I got live on Twitch: “Is metabolism even real, or is it a medical condition?”

I’ll explain how metabolism works, what factors influence how many calories your body burns (like muscle mass, activity level, and more), and share science-backed tips to help boost your metabolism naturally. We’ll talk about resting metabolic rate, the thermic effect of food, and how strength training can help your body burn more calories—even at rest.

If you’ve ever felt like your slow metabolism is holding you back from your fitness goals—or if you’re just curious about how to increase your daily calorie burn—this episode is packed with helpful info you can actually use.

Whether you're trying to lose fat, gain muscle, or just understand your body better, this metabolism myth-busting episode is for you.

Hey there! 👋 I'm Jayd Harrison (Jaydigains), personal trainer and host of the Coaching Corner podcast. In this episode of The Coaching Corner, I’m sharing why a consistent warm-up routine can make such a huge difference—especially if you’re neurodivergent and living with ADHD or autism.

I’ll also introduce you to my training app, which gives you access to structured workout programs and on-demand sessions to keep you moving, even when motivation is low. If executive dysfunction or stress has been getting in your way, this episode is packed with simple strategies to help you build momentum and show up for yourself—one step at a time.

Hey there! 👋 I'm Jayd Harrison (Jaydigains), personal trainer and host of the Coaching Corner podcast. In this episode, I’m diving into the mental side of fitness and talking about something so many of us deal with—setbacks in the gym. As a personal trainer and health coach, I’ve seen how these moments can impact mental health, especially for those who hold themselves to high standards or struggle with self-worth.

I share why it’s important to reframe setbacks as opportunities for growth rather than seeing them as personal failures. I also talk about the value of building an identity that isn’t just tied to gym performance. That means developing self-compassion, finding hobbies outside of training, and nurturing connections beyond fitness.

If you’ve ever felt discouraged when things don’t go as planned or found yourself measuring your worth by your physical progress, this episode is for you. I hope it helps you build resilience and reconnect with your value—both in and out of the gym.

Hey there! 👋 I'm Jayd Harrison (Jaydigains), personal trainer and host of the Coaching Corner podcast. In this episode of the Coaching Corner Podcast, I explore the crucial (and often underestimated) role that rest plays in achieving your fitness goals. As a personal trainer who’s coached hundreds of clients through strength training, fat loss, and body recomposition, I’ve seen firsthand how skipping rest can stall progress, increase injury risk, and lead to burnout.

We dig into the science of recovery, focusing on the balance between the sympathetic (fight or flight) and parasympathetic (rest and digest) nervous systems. I also break down practical ways to improve sleep quality, build better recovery habits, and shift away from the toxic "grind harder" mentality that dominates so much of fitness culture.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• Why rest is not the enemy of progress
• How your nervous system impacts recovery and performance
• The connection between sleep, stress, and muscle growth
• My go-to tips for better sleep and smarter rest days
• Why recovery is just as important as your workouts

Whether you’re training hard, stuck in a plateau, or constantly feeling run-down, this episode is a must-listen. Tune in to learn how to train smarter—not just harder.

Hey there! 👋 I'm Jayd Harrison (Jaydigains), personal trainer and host of the Coaching Corner podcast. In this episode of the Coaching Corner Podcast, I’m talking all about sugar addiction—why it’s so common, how it hijacks your brain and body, and what you can do to take back control of your eating habits.

As a personal trainer, I’ve worked with tons of clients who struggle with refined sugar cravings, especially when stress and emotions run high. In this conversation, I break down:

🔹 How refined sugars are designed to be addictive

🔹 The link between emotional eating, stress, and nervous system dysregulation

🔹 Simple, effective ways to cut back on sugar without feeling deprived

🔹 How practices like mindfulness, meditation, and somatic tools (like the butterfly hug) can help you regulate without turning to food

🔹 Why working with a therapist trained in somatic therapy or cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) can be a game changer for your mental and physical health

I’m also sharing insights from my own experiences and client stories—because breaking free from sugar isn’t just about willpower. It’s about healing your relationship with food and your body.
