Every lifter, runner, and gym-goer dreads the moment training comes to a halt because of an injury. But does it have to mean the end of your progress?

In this episode, Paul Bassett, owner of Hounds of Health in Wandsworth, London, unpacks what really happens when you get injured, why it doesn’t need to derail your fitness journey, and how to come back stronger—physically and mentally.

You’ll learn:

• Why fear often holds people back more than the injury itself
• Common mistakes in recovery (and how to avoid them)
• How to keep training safely, even when something’s hurt
• The role of communication with coaches, doctors, and physios
• Why strength training builds resilience that protects you in the long run

Paul also shares his own experience with injuries, plus client success stories that show how setbacks can become turning points. Whether it’s a small tweak or major surgery, this episode gives you the framework to stay active, rebuild confidence, and take control of your health.
