Coach Brick Headstrong is back—

and this time, he’s teaming up with fitness expert Dr. Allan Bacon (aka “Dr. Sizzlin”) to break down everything you need to know about your first time at the gym.Whether you're starting from scratch or just getting back into it, this episode is packed with practical tips, mindset shifts, and a few laugh-out-loud gym fails (yes, ripped pants included).

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • What to wear and bring to the gym (yes, your shoes matter!)
  • How to deal with soreness after your first workouts
  • Why perfect form is a myth—and what to focus on instead
  • How to overcome gym anxiety and intimidation
  • Beginner mistakes that lead to burnout
  • Whether or not you need supplements to start
  • How to form real, lasting fitness habits

Got questions like:

“What if I don’t know what I’m doing?”

“Are people going to judge me?”

“Do I need a plan before I go?”

Hit play, grab your Chuck Taylors, and let Brick and Dr. Sizzlin walk you through it—no stress, no shame, just solid advice (and maybe a few jokes).
