Balancing University Degrees with Real-World Experience: The Force Behind Success!
Let's talk about university degrees in the fitness industry. While they hold value, they don't automatically guarantee results unless complemented with real-world experience.
Many clients and aspiring trainers flock to exercise physiologists or exercise science programs, hoping to find the ultimate solution to their body's ailments.
Unfortunately, they often end up with overly complex programs and a lighter wallet, leaving them wanting more.
But fear not, there's a silver lining.
At Enterprise Fitness, I've had the privilege of working with numerous exercise science grads, guiding them on their journey to becoming Jedi Master trainers (yes, I'm like the gym version of Yoda).
Here's the thing.
Degrees alone can equip you with techniques, but without real-world, in-the-trenches experience, they may fall short in teaching you how to apply those techniques effectively.
In this week's episode of The Enterprise Podcast, we sit down with our senior trainers, Matt and the talented exercise science grad, Ari, to delve into the topic of working with exercise scientists and the utility of pursuing an exercise science degree.
Prepare for an honest and unfiltered discussion where we tackle:
- The reasons to seek an exercise scientist - The pitfalls and challenges - The gaps between theory and practice - Matt's unique experiences as a pro athlete - Ari's perspective as an exercise science graduate - Indicator lifts—what they are and how we effectively use them with our clients and athletes
Consider this podcast a verbal lightsaber battle of knowledge and insights (okay, maybe one more Star Wars reference slipped in there!). May the Force be with you as you listen and learn.
Enjoy the podcast and let the wisdom flow!

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
