In this episode, host Amy Boone Thompson welcomes Whitney Houlin—Director of Fitness at WeGym, content creator, and first-time IDEA World presenter—to share her refreshingly realistic approach to fitness. Whitney opens up about her unexpected journey from elementary school teacher to leading voice in the wellness space and how she's redefining what success looks like in fitness.
She dives into the concept of “setting minimums,” a simple but powerful strategy for helping clients build consistency without burnout. You'll hear how she helps people move away from the all-or-nothing mindset and instead focus on what’s actually sustainable. Whitney also shares insight into her role at WeGym, the launch of their new Pro Series equipment line, and what attendees can expect from her sessions at IDEA World 2025.
Whether you're a personal trainer, group fitness instructor, or studio owner, Whitney’s message will resonate: fitness should feel empowering—not overwhelming.
