The High Frequency Club

In this week's episode we sit down with Les Mills National Trainer and Club Manager, Nicky Lord! Nicky is the person that recruited Marwin to the group fit space and took Shenae on when she moved to NZ, so we were stoked to be able to pick her brain and hear how she feels the industry has changed in her 15+ years of being in it. Nicky has recently become a mother and she shares how motherhood has changed her work processes - from her time management to her decision making. She’s currently in the process of rehabbing injuries and she talks about exercising patience, taking things slow and managing her perfectionist mindset.

In this episode we sit down with one of the most down to earth guys we've had the pleasure of having on the podcast, Bas Hollander.
Bas has an enormous amount of experience being a National Presenter and Trainer for Les Mills.
He shares his journey on how he transitioned from doing Judo full time to then becoming a Group Fitness instructor and how he found it difficult having to consider other peoples opinions (for group fitness) where in Judo it was predominantly a sport where his performance was fully his responsibility alone.
He shares his insights on how to find your personality as an instructor and there's some very surprising things he shares about his own self-confidence given his experience and position at Les Mills!

In this episode we sit down with Jason Goodson, founder of Backyard Roadies a travel experience and tour company in NZ.
The impressiveness of Jason's business starts with its birth during Covid, when travel pretty much ceased to exist but the lack of purpose in his corporate job helped him gather up the courage to go all in on his passion - which is connecting with people through travelling.
We also talk about the effects of binge drinking has had on mental and emotional health and how he aims to change that culture among his own life and also his clients. He really emphasises that Backyard Roadies is not a party tour, its a vehicle to meaningfully connect with the land, with other people and with ourselves.
Of course, these outcomes do not come without a painful process of learning and unlearning - which Jason goes in depth in making this a very relatable and relevant conversation.

In this episode we are joined by new mum and Les Mills trainer Rebekkah Burnett. We discuss Rebekkah’s transition from the arts industry, working in marketing and as an actress, into becoming a full time fitness trainer. She shares how her love and passion for exercise got the better of her, unaware that she was overloading her body through excessive training and under-fuelling, resulting in a condition known as hypothalamic amenorrhea. Rebekkah speaks openly as to how this condition manifested for her, and how the mental side of things was just as important as the physical in regards to her recovery.
There is so much insight and learning to be taken from this conversation, especially for our active, health-conscious female listeners, but similarly, men can benefit from learning more about this condition too.
