Pod Personal Training has stayed at maximum capacity all year.

And I could make an episode about the obvious reasons people might assume that is - the sessions, the programming, the accountability, the atmosphere, the coaching.

All of those things matter.

But I actually think there's something deeper going on.

The majority of our members aren't chasing a 200kg deadlift.

In fact...most of them don't actually care if they never hit a personal best again.

Because what they're gaining from training is so much bigger than another 2.5kg on the bar.

I mentioned to a client that I'd had some chocolate in the afternoon.

His response surprised me.

He said, "This is why I love you... because you're so normal."

It made me smile, but it also made me think.

What does "normal" actually mean when it comes to health and fitness?

We hit a big milestone this month at Pod Personal Training so I am reflecting on the journey of pod. It's a great reminder that things take time - whether that is a business goal or a health and fitness goal. 

We spent years testing systems, figuring out how people work and what gets them the best results. We now have a great formula that works and I share in this episode.

Pod has launched a new initiative! We have teamed up with a local school to bring a new programme to young girls aged 14-16 to teach them everything they need to know about strength training. We are really excited about this and will do some programme updates soon!

Neglecting self-care as you age significantly increases the risk of chronic illness and physical decline. I'm talking through the importance of training as we age and sharing real examples of my clients in their 50s+ who are stronger and fitter than 20 years ago.
