Hey Coach Radio

In this episode, Coach William, Coach Gillis Pellegrin and Coach Zach Richie, discuss the fitness industry's biggest problem right now when it comes to coaching and client relationships. 

Do any of these warning signs sound familiar? Cookie-cutter training programs. Lack of educational material from a fit-fluencer. A lack of responsiveness from a coach?

The coaches teach you what to be on the watch for. Keep listening as they dive into the big mistakes made with exercise and diet that lead to burnout as people start hitting the gym for the first time or for the post-holiday season diet cycle.

Will, Zach, and Gillis also discuss the dangers of jumping into fad and elimination diets vs. taking a sustainable approach that does not completely alter your way of life and leads to throwing in the fitness towel.

Coach William Grazione was recently on Beyond the Bikini Radio, hosted by Nicole Ferrier, and on this episode, we share that very special talk.

We go over why Coach Will started his mission to transform the fitness industry to help prioritize women's health through proper nutrition and education and create a new generation of health-focused nutrition coaches.

Nicole and Will discuss the concerning factors at play when coaching women and the three different dieting phases: lean, restore, and build.

The two will address the fears that concern female clients who need to restore their health before engaging in another fat loss transformation. They will address the importance of monitoring your hormone levels and other health markers through lab testing and how to get it.

Will and Nicole will touch on why we see women steering towards harmful and aggressive workout habits more so than men in the nutritional coaching world and learn what it will take to tackle the change that needs to happen in diet culture.

We have a question for you! Wouldn't it be great if you only had to diet one more time to get to where you need to be and are comfortable for the rest of your life? We're going to talk about how to get there.

Maybe you are a person who is looking to improve your health and physique. This episode will fill you in on the difference between a functional nutrition client and a general health client. 

William Grazione along with Coach Zach and Gillis speak on this important topic.

Listen as they go over how imperative it is to have an annual plan for nutrition and training vs. a 12 week or 6-month program. 

Many pitfalls can happen when you do not plan for the long road.

In this episode, Coach Will is joined by coaches Gillis and Zach for a Q&A roundtable. The three take on the great carb debate! 

Should you be tracking net carbs or total carbs? Should people stay away from starchy carbs? 

The three will also cover frequently asked questions about meal tracking and whether or not to weigh your food raw or cooked.

Other topics covered include determining what amount of weight you should put on the bar when starting a strength training program and how activation exercises are an essential part of any warm-up routine for your workout.

In this episode, Coach William Grazione is joined by Coach Zach Richie! Today, the two go over client Q&A. These topics discussed hit their inboxes frequently while helping people reach their health goals. Will and Zach address why some people question if their rate of weight loss is on point or not and how progress is measured, not just on the scale.

Listen as the two go over when it's time to bow out of a fat loss phase and how we manage approaching this with data backed by blood labs if necessary. Will and Zach will discuss the importance of carbs and when a low-carb or keto diet approach may be required.

Lastly, the two take on the great rep debate. Is there is a perfect rep range for muscle growth - or is it more about intensity? Listen in to learn more!

Grab a coffee with Coach William Grazione and Coach Zach Riche as the two go over some client questions and concerns that they address regularly. Chances are, you or someone you know may have the same worries. Listen as they discuss some great supplements to help during the cold season and talk about whether the holiday season is a time to diet or a time to build.

Coach William and Coach Zach also talk about client's fears of failing. Maybe you lost weight, and gained it back, and are ready to try again. For some, anxiety creeps in, and they fear they may self-sabotage or things will not work. The two will discuss how to combat that and how to keep weight off once you lose it.

Last but not least, keep listening as Will and Zach address the point of optimizing your hormones for your health. People often overlook this as they take on a body transformation, but a key part of success is ensuring that hormone levels are stable and ready for you to take on body changes.
