We meet Eric Doyle, a vastly experienced Personal Trainer from Long Beach, California USA. He shares his journey from overweight, inactive teen to Kettlebell Sport Champion & gym owner.

Eric explains his philosophy of Unconventional Training & thoroughly describes the implements he uses, their individual merits & the way he combines them.

A fascinating conversation with a man who has shunned the conventional & lives & trains on his own terms.

In this Christmas Eve episode we discuss what we've learned from our recent guests & our own goals & training targets for 2022 & beyond.

We talk about the wisdom of playing the long game & our training & eating approaches to the festive holidays as well as social media perceptions of success vs the reality.

We are joined by Owen Hutchins, founder of My Vital Metrics, a London based clinic specialising in scientific assessments for people looking to improve their health markers and/or get the edge through improved performance.

We discuss commonly used assessment tools & talk about DEXA scans as they relate to bone density, lean tissue make up & both internal & external body fat.

A fascinating discussion around longevity & what you 'should' be measuring & focusing on as you get older - and it's probably NOT what you would first think.

We catch up with the incomparable force of nature Tracy Reifkind. We learn about dog training, the power of belief & the distinction between luck & fortune.

Tracy shares her love of strength endurance & discusses the benefits of both Hardstyle Kettlebell training & Kettlebell Sport & the importance of competition (even if only with oneself).

A must listen episode with the lady who moved through transformation, to maintenance to permanence & in her late 50s is stronger & fitter than 90% of people half her age.

There's not a great deal of information out there about the menopause and Helen has spent a great deal of time learning and educating about her own experiences so women don't feel alone when the inevitable happens.

Helen was very open and honest about how the menopause affected her mentally and physically as well as hormonally, which all came together to create some huge challenges she had to overcome.

This is a MUST listen for both men and women so we can all try to understand the big impacts the menopause will have on women's lives and offer support and guidance to get the right treatment for each individual.
