THE MIND BODY BROADCAST PRESENTS…

EPISODE 25 - How to Avoid Fitness Marketing Scams

Buzz words, Scare Tactics, False Promises, and Snake oils.

We could drone on and one about this topic… and we do!

With both broadcast hosts been scammed numerous times themselves in the past, they have a lot of very important information to share on this topic.

There isn’t a shortage of nutrition/fitness marketing, which varies from being slightly misleading, to flat out being completely and entirely fraudulent.

How will you be able to tell if something is worth it? Can you ensure you’re researching the right products and services?

The areas of Marketing we go over are:

Coaches/Coaching

Supplements

Training Programs

Diet plans

Styles of marketing

And (sadly) more.

With the power of social media making advertising seemingly everywhere, scams and snake oil is becoming harder to pick up on.

Austin and Marty dive into all aspects of fitness marketing - the good, the bad, and the downright disgusting.

Have you been scammed in the past? Have you fallen victim to false advertising? Please share yours, so others will be aware.

High Volume? Low Volume? High intensity? High Frequency? Low frequency? One body part per week? 3 X per week body part training?

It almost seems that the more “research” that comes out, the more convoluted the question of, “How should I be training for my goals?” becomes.

How do you determine which training style should you use?

How do you know when to change styles? (if you even should?)

How long should you adhere to a certain training program?

How do I know if a training style is “for me” - or is working for me?

Still one of the most debated topics today, Austin and Marty go over what works, what has worked, and some practical tactics on how to assess your current (and future!) Training style.

What training styles have you enjoyed - or not? Leave us your comments on social media with your own experiences.

Whether or not we like to admit it, almost all of us go through some form of destructive eating patterns throughout our fitness journeys.

This can range from night time snacking,  to flat out binging.

How do you approach these kinds of behaviours, if you even recognize you’re in a destructive pattern?

What are the ways out of these behaviours?

The mind can have a lot to do with this, along with environment, social circle, work/life balance, and more.

Austin and Marty dive into experiences, warning signs, and more information on this subject - which isn’t talked about enough.

Ahhh, summer. When the food is abundant, the alcohol is seemingly everywhere, and your social calendar gets to be hectic.

If you’re competing in the Fall/late summer, these events can be a nightmare - if you let them.

Austin and Marty give out tips they share with their clients on different situations - If you’re competing or not.

Do I abstain from all meals?

Should I drink all the booze and eat all the food?

Do I overdo cardio after a vacation? Before?

Should I just not go to any events, go into hiding, and tell everyone to buzz off?

How do I plan for these events?

How do I deal with stress and anxiety of family and friends?

This episode is just in time for the peak of summer - chock-full with everything you need to know how to stay on track during this seemingly tricky - yet fun - time of the year.
