Tim Riley and Zack Zillner are back together for a loaded Q&A episode covering creatine, in-season sprint programming, isolation movements, entrepreneurship, and why a hack squat might be the most underrated tool in your gym. Tim also announces his new Austin gym opening June 8th, equipped with a custom Coach Em Up podcast studio! Zack survived his first year in Miami and a full colada on day one.

Tim and Zack go deep on what it actually takes to build athletes, run a business, and not burn out doing both. Topics include how to balance what clients want vs. what they need and the origins of the Coach 'Em Up Podcast itself. They also give a full breakdown of the Coach 'Em Up Conference 2.0 in Austin — live show, free BBQ, and a stacked speaker lineup at the C4 Performance Center. Plus: fitness grifters get called out, training music gets debated, and both coaches share the life advice that actually changed their careers. It's all here.
