The Body Never Lies

The Myths of Personal Training with Ross Gilmour


Listen Later

I think the biggest myth in Personal Training or the exercise field is if I just turn up and sweat and do something that is exhausting, I will get the result of getting fitter, leaner, stronger, whatever it is that you desire.  Another one would be that if I just get my heart rate up I am going to be healthier and that people who do so are fit.  

I am finding all too often now, when I'm working with clients who suffer from thyroid, adrenal, metabolic issues or even clients with injuries, that their personal trainer also bases their practice on this belief. 

Well, today on the show is Ross Gilmour from Better Body Collective.  I had the pleasure of working with Ross on a client who was not having the ideal response that they should have been having. This was easily spotted by Ross because of his intricate training program and measurements of progress, success and recovery.  Now because he had so much data, he made my job super easy.  I think he also saved the client money, because I was not needed as much, plus together we did get them a result. So I invited him on the show to talk today about his methods and practice, which I think set a gold standard for Personal Training.

In this Episode we talk about:

  • Crossfit
  • HIIT
  • Steady State Cardio
  • Resistance training
  • Functional Training
  • Hypertrophy
  • Bodybuilding
  • The importance of program design 
  • Progressive Overload
  • Dieting from a fed state vs an underfed state
  • Thyroid 
  • Metabolism
  • Epigenetics
  • Stress
  • Ascertaining a clients’ goal
  • Creating an environment that supports the goal
  • When to refer out
  • Building a network of professionals
  • Collaborating as practitioners
  • Physiological/Allostatic Load

  • Ross Gilmouris available for training clients and mentoring personal trainers.  I encourage you to get in contact with him.  He also has his own podcast called Better Body Radio. You can find him on Instagram as @coachrossgilmour 

    Ross and I would love to know if you got something out of this podcast.  Please share your thoughts in your Instagram stories and tag us @coachrossgilmour and @leilalutz with your biggest takeaways.
