Andrew Coates (@andrewcoatesfitness) is a personal trainer, writer, speaker, and the unofficial mayor of fitness. He trains clients both online and in-person, and is the host of the Lift Free and Diet Hard Podcast.
Andrew is one of the best ambassadors for fitness today. His ability to connect people is unmatched, and a significant amount of people have ended up as guests on this podcast either directly or indirectly via Andrew.
But in this chat, instead of talking about industry stuff, we chatted about perhaps the largest silent barrier to fitness - your personal identity and relationship with fitness.
The people who make a healthy lifestyle “look easy” adopt the identity of a fit person. Eventually, it is no longer a chore to eat healthy, exercise, drink plenty of water etc - it’s just who you are and what you do. But this doesn’t happen by accident.
And often, people subconsciously sabotage themselves into making this impossible.
So this discussion is focused on how to embody this lifestyle. The actual steps, tools and tactics to employ to slowly change your own beliefs about yourself to identify as a fit person. Powerful stuff, enjoy!

Brandon Mancine (@bmfcoach) is an online trainer who focuses on helping people build resilience and become more anti-fragile. Brandon’s simple message of “get strong and do stuff” really speaks volumes.
7 years ago Brandon was unfortunately in a terrible car accident and was badly injured. He was told he would never be able to do many of the things he enjoyed doing. However, through his resilience and knowledge of training, he was back squatting over 400lbs in no time. For this, he’s been dubbed the “Real Life Wolverine”.
We talk a lot in the episode about this resilience and what it’s like to come back from terrible injuries. And maybe most importantly, why you should seriously prioritize your training and getting strong so that you are physically as resilient as possible should anything ever happen to you.
We also spoke a lot about making fitness part of your life, and this goes hand-in-hand. Our current environment is set up so that we are weak, sick, and overweight. You need to consciously cultivate the opposite.
Brandon will be at the Silverback Summit in Phoenix Arizona Nov 15-16. Get $200 off your ticket with code “ALIG200”
Brandon also owns HairXT, which offers natural products to increase hair growth for both men and women. Code “HXT20” gets you 20%.

Rick Olderman (rickolderman.com) is a licensed physical therapist, author, and creator of the Fixing You Method. His latest book is titled “Pain Patterns: Why You Are In Pain and How To Stop It” and is now available on Amazon.
Rick has a much different, (and a much more comprehensive) approach to healing injuries than most. This is all laid out in detail in Rick’s latest book, and it’s what we chatted about in this episode.
The three main pillars are the connection between movement, fascia and reflexes in pain and how these all contribute to creating, and healing injuries. Functional linking is the connection between all your past injuries and poor movement patterns and your current pain. And lastly the connection between psychological trauma or stress and pain.
All of this combined contributes to pain in various ways. Understanding it allows you to identify it, and then work to correct or improve it to ultimately help you get out of pain and back to living your best life as soon as possible.
If you’ve ever been injured, or experience chronic pain, this episode is for you.

The Winter Arc, a little corny, but if it gets you fired up then let it rip. Things in life change as the seasons change - more or fewer social outings, and just general attitude around life overall. And you can spin each of these seasons as positive or negative for your fitness.
Winter can feel like a time to just stay in, eat a ton of good food, and not really worry about your fitness until Spring.
OR
It can be a time to lock in, and use the isolation of Winter to your advantage. To be disciplined in training and nutrition. To test yourself to work harder when maybe others aren’t. And eventually be way ahead of where you are now.
To each their own. But if you’re looking to get on this “Winter Arc”, then this episode contains everything you need from a fitness perspective to really dial things in this Winter and come out the other side in your best shape ever.
If you want in on this, send me a DM on IG and I will put together an accountability group for as many people want to join in. We can all work together and lift each other up when you need it.
Let’s get it.

He leads by example with his own fitness and self-improvement and leads others towards the same healthy lifestyle.
This episode was eye opening. Max helped me realize something I’ve personally been thinking about for almost 2 years. There are so many connections to fitness and life and mental health that it’s no longer possible to separate these things, and this is exactly what we spoke about in this chat.
We also spoke about body dysmorphia, addiction, neurodivergence and how all of this is tied to mental health and fitness and everything in between.
Sit down, settle in, and enjoy, because you’re about to learn a few things that might change your life.
To keep up with Max, follow him on IG, visit F.R.E.E Fit gym if you’re in the Edmonton area, and check out his podcast.

Dane Palarino (@dadbod_sculptors) is a driven entrepreneur, sponsored athlete, and the visionary behind Dad Bod Sculptors. After hitting rock bottom in his early 40s, despite his career success, Dane embarked on a transformative health journey that saw him shed over 30% body fat and regain control over his life.
Dane now dedicates his life to helping men over 35 conquer the challenges of aging, balance the demands of family and work, and achieve peak physical condition. His mission is to guide men through their own transformations, empowering them to reclaim their health, confidence, and become the heroes their wives, kids, and families need them to be.
The “Dad Bod” is not just about how you look. It’s about how you feel, how you perform, and how you show up for the most important people in your life. It’s ok to love yourself as you are, but part of that should also constantly be trying to improve yourself in all aspects.
Dane’s been through it and now he’s helping others get through it as well. It starts with fitness but it is about SO much more than fitness. Fitness is simply the gateway to improving every other aspect of your life.
There is an absolute ton to take from this episode, and it should have you fired up to take action and make big changes in your life. I hope you do.
To keep up with Dane and everything he’s got going on, follow him on LinkedIn, IG, and on Youtube, and check out his website.

I turned 30 over the weekend! Getting old, or just getting started? All a matter of perspective…
I sat down to reflect, as one does, and came up with a list of 30 things I’ve learned related to fitness and beyond.
The entire premise of this podcast is that fitness lessons are synonymous with life lessons, and this episode is a great embodiment of that. As I go through each of them, they are all interrelated and relevant in the gym, and in many areas of life.
It’s a great exercise to reflect on things you’ve learned and even better to then share them with others. That’s what it’s all about. I hope you enjoy this as much as I did.
