In this episode we speak with Pearse one of our coaches on Elevate. How Pearse has went from almost quitting as a burnt out pt, with 30 1-1 clients, to opening his own studio and having 103 members inside 5 months.

Some phenomenal relationship advice in this one from the specialist himself. 

Also a great insight into his own journey and how he moved from a bodybuilder/kickboxing Personal Trainer into couples therapy.

In this episode we talk about some of the past mistakes that we have made as business owners and coaches. One of them being....opening our own studios and multiple studios when we weren't ready for it.

People are always looking for the next big thing and feel that success is written in what they own .....but sometimes we make changes for the wrong reasons.

Today's episode has two members of the Irish Strength Institute (ISI) on talking about their own fitness and coaching journeys and discussing various topics and questions that our listeners have sent in.

These guys have been around the world learning from the very best in their fields and have passed on their knowledge through seminars and courses globally as well.

Eoin himself is the most decorated and successful Irish Olympic coach ever.

This podcast is jamm packed with tips for coaches, and high advanced trainers.

Take some time out and learn.

Big Dave Fox visits the show today to talk all things  bodybuilding and discuss how the scene has changed over the years.

After 40 competitions he is one of Irelands most decorated competitors. In this interview he reveals some of the mistakes that people are constantly making and talks about how tough it is to try and make it in the game.

His passion for BB is clear in this chat and it shows no signs of slowing up. Bodybuilding has taken him all around the world and and he has been an excellent ambassador of the game.

It really was great having the big man on today and hopefully we get him back on again at some stage soon.

Marty is a been there done that coach of combat sports. 

He has been far from an overnight success, and his journey was speaks volumes about the kind of coach Marty is.

Really worth a listen to anyone who wants a real insight into what it takes to be a high level competitor, a top coach and now transitioning into a switched on business man, who is looking to spread the message of how BJJ can help a lot of people right now in their lives.

So we were honoured to get asked on to the couch to 250k podcast last week. This show is ran by Blane and Aidan, who both embarked on an incredible journey around 8 months ago. 

Blane who has no previous background in any type of endurance event....or really anything fitness related, decided he wanted to take on a gruelling 250k race and asked his friend and coach to help to complete this mammoth task. They have given themselves only 10 months of training and have documented the journey through their fantastic podcast called couch to 250k.

The guys brought us on their show to get some of our opinions on what they were doing and really what is going on in the growing fitness scene in Ireland.

We had such a laugh doing it and would love to have the two lads come on our show after Blane completes this gruelling event to get an insight into what you have to go through to complete a challenge like that, both physically and mentally.

Today we sat down with co owner of crossfit  Limavady Andy chapman. 

We tackled the topic of transgender athletes in crossfit, his ambitions as a competitive athlete in bjj and life as a business owner these days!

On this show we talk to Aaron O'Neill about all things muscle related. Aaron tells us his story of how he got into the business of building muscle and gives us a no holes barred insight into what is currently going on behind the scenes in the physique world.

A really enjoyable interview totally off the cuff.

We had Justin Black our producer jump in for this one as Seamus was away winning himself in Oz.

Big thanks to Aaron and Justin of course for the podcast. 

Hope you all enjoy it.
