Coaching Corner

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.

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 breaking down why resistance training should be your top priority during a fat loss phase—not just cardio.

Cardio definitely has its place, but relying on it too much can lead to muscle breakdown and a slower metabolism over time. To help you avoid that, I’m sharing 9 powerful strategies to make your resistance training more effective so you can burn fat, keep your muscle, and get long-term results.

🔥 Here’s what I cover:

• Why cardio alone isn’t enough for sustainable fat loss
• How lifting weights supports your metabolism and muscle retention

My 9 go-to training tips for fat loss:

1. Train consistently (3–4x/week)
2. Focus on compound movements
3. Use higher reps with moderate weights
4. Keep intensity high (train smart, not sloppy)
5. Choose weights that challenge you
6. Add metabolic finishers
7. Increase your daily movement (NEAT)
8. Prioritize recovery and sleep
9. Get your nutrition right—think protein, fiber, and a slight calorie deficit

If you’re trying to get leaner without losing strength, or just want to train smarter during a fat loss phase, this episode is for you.

It’s the key to continually making gains and ensuring your workouts remain effective. Without it, your progress will eventually stall, leaving you frustrated and stuck in a plateau.

In this episode, we’ll break down what progressive overload is, why it matters, and how to apply it to your resistance training for long-term results.

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 diving into a question I get a lot from female clients: Should I change my workouts based on my menstrual cycle? The short answer? It depends on you.

I walk you through the different phases of the menstrual cycle—menstrual, follicular, ovulation, and luteal—and break down how hormonal changes can affect your energy, strength, and recovery. I also share the potential benefits of training during each phase, along with practical tips for adjusting your workout intensity if needed.

This episode is all about tuning into your body, making informed decisions, and ditching the myths around performance dips during your period. My goal is to help you feel empowered in your fitness journey and confident adapting your training to your unique cycle.

Let’s stop forcing a one-size-fits-all approach to fitness and start working with our bodies instead of against them.
