We are joined by Ellie Crawley; Founder of Feel Fit shop & studio in Bristol, Feel Fit sustainable activewear clothing brand & Feel You retreats.

Ellie is an online lifestyle & prep coach & an in-person trainer & leader of the Feel Fit community & wellness movement.

We find out about Ellie's career path, her business success, her philosophy around everything she does within the Feel Fit brand & we talk about Ellie's own personal fitness goals for 2024.

An uplifting & inspiring conversation with a force of nature within the UK health & fitness scene.

We are joined all the way from Vermillion, Ohio USA by Mark Valenti; former pro heavy events athlete, Strongfirst Certified Elite Instructor, owner of 'Blind Dog Strong' gym, reader of books & swinger of Kettlebells!

We discuss competing for 18 years in Highland Games, learning directly from Louie Simmons at Westside Barbell, transitioning to Strongman, becoming Strongfirst Elite & lifting the Husafell Stone in Iceland!

This is a fascinating conversation with a rugged, strong & intelligent man who has a lifetime of strength achievements behind him & many challenges still ahead.

We are joined by Pav Johal for an important episode.

Pav is a British Asian female who is setting an example through her own athletic endeavours & through coaching other women in what is a massively underrepresented demographic with the fitness & strength world.

Pav talks candidly about her own childhood in sport & training & her strong academic background. How culturally she doesn't see many 'like her' at the events & competitions she attends & how slowly but surely she is working to change that.

This is a fascinating episode with a strong woman who has taken a direction in her own life which will impact her own children & hopefully the wider community.

We are joined for the 3rd time by the energetic & entertaining Fabio Zonin live from Italy!

Fabio has been lifting for 40 years & in this fascinating conversation we take a deep dive into programming for strength, the relationship between patience & strength & how to adjust your expectations & goals around strength as you age.

Strength is undoubtedly an attitude & we discuss the correct attitude required for a lifetime of progressive strength training.

At 54 Fabio continues to inspire & strive for great things - this episode is not to be missed ESPECIALLY if you are north of 40.

We are back with our first show of 2024 & we are joined by the incredible Alison Young.

Alison is an I.T professional by day & a Powerlifter by night (& at weekends). She also has more recently taken on HYROX as well as WINNING the last TSC 'Tactical Strength Challenge'.

Alison is also an SFG2 Kettlebell Instructor AND an 'Iron Maiden'!

We discuss the importance of competition, programming, preparation & Alison's recent decision to change careers. This is a fascinating conversation with a woman who has a unique way of looking at & approaching new challenges.

We are joined for a very special Boxing Day episode with Mark Tonner - Injured Military Veteran, one armed Strongman & fitness professional.

We discuss Mark's life, his sporting & military career, his life altering injury in Afghanistan, how he struggled to come to terms with his life afterwards & how his life & training look now.

We also discuss the incredible 24hr Deadlift Challenge that Mark will be embarking on over the 27th & 28th December for Ripple Suicide Prevention Charity.

This is a stark, honest & raw conversation with a man still facing his demons who is doing his best to make a difference for others.

In this Christmas episode Peter & James reflect back on recent guests, progress made throughout the year in training & plans for the festive season.

We talk about our direction & focus for 2024 & some upcoming guests we are looking forward to talking to. Both hosts also come dressed ready for the occasion with Peter squeezing into a rather fetching festive jumper!

In this fascinating joint episode featuring former guests Dan John & Tim Anderson we discuss the seamless synergy between Easy Strength & Original Strength & the original meeting of these two great minds & concepts.

How general work capacity should be developed & then applied to specific tasks or sports RATHER than using sport to develop work capacity & how to pass the RKC without touching a kettlebell!

We also go deep & meaningful with a discussion around the 'purpose' of training, the 'why' behind the doing & how developing a strong character & making a difference is ALWAYS more important than techniques, trends & apparatus.

We are rejoined (for the 3rd time) by Chris Branch, who, on this visit, joins us for a more celebratory & uplifting conversation.

In October 2023 Chris set off on an epic 100 mile foot race which was to be completed on a single 400m running track (over 400 laps!) In this fascinating discussion Chris explains the physical, mental & emotional challenges he had to overcome to complete the race & takes us through the internal dialogue he had with himself along the way.

If you want to know what it's like to run 100 miles (but don't fancy doing it yourself) this is an episode that mustn't be missed!

We are joined all the way from South Africa by Master SFG Instructor, Original Beast Tamer, father of 4 & Rugby nut Shaun Cairns.

This is a broad & wide reaching conversation which covers sport & athletic training, a well rounded family life, training people into their 60s & 70s & the importance of always striving for 'something' with your training.

In his 50s Shaun still has some goals he's working towards & he even issues Pete with a friendly challenge! An engaging & fun chat with a big man with an even bigger heart.
