Even with all the AI training apps and free workout programs out there, real coaching still matters.
In this episode of Barbell Logic: Beast Over Burden, Niki Sims and Andrew Jackson explain why coaching remains essential for lifters who train for strength, health, and longevity. They explore how personalized feedback, accountability, and real human judgment can never be replaced by algorithms or templates. Through a live Q&A, they answer listener questions about core strength, nutrition, joint pain, and mindset—and show how consistent, adaptable coaching leads to lasting results.
You'll learn why a good coach helps you navigate life's changing variables, how to train smarter as you age, and how to stay consistent in both your workouts and your nutrition. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced lifter, this conversation will remind you that you don't need to compete to need a coach.
Coaching isn't just for elite athletes—it's for anyone who wants clarity, consistency, and confidence in their training. Strength for life isn't built through perfect programs; it's built through guided progress and real accountability.
In this live strength and nutrition Q&A, you'll discover:
Why AI and free training templates can't replace a coach.
How to build stronger core stability through barbell movements.
A simple meal plan built around real food (and sandwiches).
How to train around joint pain without giving up progress.
The difference between group and one-on-one coaching—and which might fit you best.
How coaching can transform not only your training, but your life outside the gym.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
