This week on the podcast, Mikki speaks to long-time strength and conditioning coach Darren Ellis, founder of Ellis Performance.
Darren brings decades of hands-on coaching experience and a no-nonsense approach to training, fat loss, and long-term health. We dive into some of the most commonly misunderstood elements of fat loss — from training style and frequency to mindset and habits — and why the basics still matter more than the latest trends.
We also talk about the rise of “entertainment fitness” (including HYROX — which, full disclosure, I love… and Darren decidedly does not). It makes for a great discussion on what truly moves the needle when your goal is body composition change — and why chasing novelty might be the very thing holding you back.
If you’ve ever felt confused about cardio vs strength, fasted vs fed training, or why fat loss feels harder in your 40s, this episode is full of practical, experience-based insights you’ll want to revisit again and again.
Darren is the S and C expert on Mondays Matter, which kicks off Monday 28 July - registrations for this kick off Monday 21 July to the public!
Darren Ellis, MSc, has an aim to share what he’s learned with as many people as possible, teaching them that there are no shortcuts with exercise, but that it can be achievable, and even fun, with good coaching and a supportive peer group.
He is a regular contributor to a variety of popular print and web based health and fitness magazines, public speaker, and consultant to sporting organisations, businesses, universities and television.
