In this week's episode of "The Discover Strength Podcast" I sat down for the first part of our multi-part series featuring trainers from all the Discover Strength locations. In this series, which will air over the next few months, we talk about some of the most important things all of our new clients should know. These topics are also a great reminder for clients who've trained with Discover Strength for years, and serve as the foundation of the "Why" behind the "How" of what we do.
This week, Rick Rignell (Plymouth Location) and I discuss a few topics of interest. Firstly, we chat about the efficacy of Bodyweight training. Specifically in regards to how effective it was and still is for many of our clients who participate in our virtual training offering (book virtual training here).
We also discuss a long held myth in the fitness industry that Free Weights (Barbells and Dumbbells) are somehow superior to training on machines. We look at some studies that debunk this myth, and why machines might even maintain a small advantage, simply from a safety perspective.
Lastly, Rick and I spend some time discussing the heritage and history of many of the machines that clients will have the privilege of using at any of our Discover Strength locations (Nautilus, MedX, HammerStrength, etc.). What makes these machines so unique, and why we are so fortunate to have the opportunity to use them.
We're so excited to share this with you, and to continue to bring you more education from all of our Discover Strength Trainers.
