Welcome back to another episode of But Seriously! In today’s conversation, host Taylor sits down with the endlessly energetic Ari—a professional athlete, rugby player, fitness and wellness coach, and content creator. Ari opens up about his journey from high school sports to a kinesiology degree, working in physical therapy, and eventually building his own thriving personal training business, Flink Fitness. They dig into everything from the science of strength training, women’s fitness myths, and healthy habits outside the gym, to the funniest moments (and noodle bag stories) from Ari’s life as a trainer.
You’ll get Ari’s no-nonsense takes on fitness fads, marketing in the wellness industry, and how social media’s body image pressures show up for both men and women. Plus, hear about Ari’s discipline juggling rugby, business, and content creation, find out his favorite guilty pleasures, hear his best (and worst) date stories, and get a look into his upcoming goal: gunning for gold at the Maccabiah Games in Israel.
Whether you’re a gym newbie looking for real advice, or a fitness veteran wanting some laughs and inspiration, this episode is packed with practical tips, honest insights, and plenty of relatable stories. Grab your water, tune in, and get ready to be entertained (and maybe learn a thing or two) with Ari and Taylor!
