In this podcast we are going to go over 4 more questions related to fitness and nutrition.

1. Can I drink wine on the weekends and still make progress?

2. Do I really have to track my food to see results?

3. How important is protein if I'm not trying to build muscle like a body builder?

4. Should I be lifting heavier weights now that I have been doing this for a while?

Is Your Form Actually “Wrong”? Understanding Coaching and Corrections in the Gym

In this episode, we talk about one of the most misunderstood parts of coaching: form correction. We break down why form isn’t simply “good” or “bad,” and why the spectrum of movement quality is much more nuanced than people think.

We also dig into when coaches should step in with corrections—and when it’s actually better not to. Plus, we explore the unintended impact corrections can have on members, especially those new to strength training, and why expecting perfect form after one demo is totally unrealistic.

If you've ever wondered why a coach does—or doesn’t—adjust your form mid-workout, this episode will give you some clarity.

In this episode of The Phat Pratt Chat, we’re giving you a peek behind the curtain. What are we really focused on right now as a business? What are those bigger-picture convos happening in our meetings?

We break down the three main areas we’re doubling down on:

1. Trainer-to-member ratio on the floor

2. Program design and creativity

3. Marketing

If you're into the business side of fitness or just curious what we’re working on to improve your experience, this one’s for you.

Ever made a promise to yourself like, “I’m cutting out sugar forever” or “I’m starting keto tomorrow for the whole year”? Yeah, you’re not alone. In this episode, we talk about why these all-or-nothing promises rarely stick—and how shifting your mindset can make all the difference.

We share a real convo about breaking nutrition promises, unrealistic expectations, and the pressure we put on ourselves to be perfect. Then we flip the script: what if we focused on building consistent habits instead of chasing rigid rules?

If you’ve ever felt frustrated with your own fitness promises, this one’s a must-listen.

In this episode, we’re getting real about the one meal that throws most people off track: dinner. From oversized subs to impulsive restaurant splurges, we break down how dinner—and everything that happens after it—can quietly sabotage your fitness goals.

We share a super simple strategy: stick to the same restaurant, same meal, same night each week. Sounds boring? Maybe. But boring can be the secret weapon that keeps your results moving. You'll also hear how to get your family on board with healthier habits without starting World War 3 at the dinner table.

If you’ve ever felt like evenings are your downfall, this episode’s for you.

Welcome back to the Fat Pratt Chat! In this episode, we're doing a rapid-fire Q&A, tackling five of the most common fitness questions we get—from why the scale won’t budge even when you’re consistent, to how to tone your arms without bulking up, to what to do if you need to take a week off from the gym.

Whether you’re short on time, stuck in a plateau, or just need some quick fitness clarity, this episode’s got you covered—with straight answers (and minimal rambling, promise).

In this episode, we’re keeping it real about referrals—why we bring them up, how they help, and what’s in it for you. No pressure, no weird “give us your friends’ phone numbers” stuff. Just a reminder that if our gym has been good for you, it might be life-changing for someone you know too.

We’ll break down how the referral perks work (like free weeks or even a shot at a free year) and share why other gyms are always asking how we get so many. If you’ve ever wondered why we mention it so much, this is the episode that explains it all.

There are plenty of benefits to large group training and there are a lot of trainers that do a great job at executing the workouts.

These are just some of my takes on the drawbacks to large group classes that maybe not everyone can see if they didn't run a small group personal training gym.

In this episode, we talk about how to make exercise a natural part of your life—even when things get hectic. You'll learn why consistency beats intensity, why you don’t need to work out every single day, and how to create a sustainable routine that adjusts to your life rather than controls it. Whether you're new to fitness or trying to stay on track, this episode will help you ditch the excuses and build habits that actually last.

In today’s episode, we dive into a crucial but often overlooked question: How hard should you actually be pushing yourself during workouts? Whether you're a seasoned gym-goer or just starting out, finding the right intensity is key to progress—without burnout. We talk about the importance of listening to your body, recognizing when it's time to scale back, and knowing when it's time to level up. If you've been coasting on gentle exposure or overdoing it with intensity, this episode will help you find that sweet spot for sustainable results.
