#119 - What You Hate About Fitness (and What I Really Think About It)

This episode was built straight from your DMs and poll replies — I asked what bugs you most in the gym or on social media, and you did not hold back.

From people hogging machines and not re-racking their weights, to influencers pushing overpriced supplements and fear-based diets, I unpack the most common topics that came up — and give you my honest take on all of it.

I also open up about what’s been going on in my own training, including a two-week accountability challenge, the struggle to enjoy mobility work, and how I’m balancing powerlifting with boxing, hockey, and a whole lot of life.

In this episode:

• Carnivore, keto, vegan, paleo, fasting — what actually matters?
• Why fasting helps some people and hurts others
• Gym etiquette red flags — the ones you told me about
• Why not putting weights away says more about you than you think
• Supplements I actually take (and how I rank them)
• Creatine and magnesium — yes.
• Multivitamins and AG1 — probably not.
• Bryan Johnson’s wild Live Forever routine: inspiration or overkill?
• My take on greens powders and the sick-free streak I’ve noticed
• Personal Fitness update: my mistake in my recent fat loss phase
• My new challenge: juggling school, work, boxing, powerlifting, and my mobility challenge

I know it’s a long one, but it's PACKED full of fun topics and always useful information for you.

📌 P.S. Want a fall challenge that’s not about six-pack photos?

This September, I’m running a 12-week Habit Challenge — and it’s all about showing up. No weigh-ins. No photo submissions. Just consistency in your training and nutrition habits, tracked and rewarded.

You’ll be part of a team, earning points each week for sticking to what you committed to. Top scorers win prizes (yep, even Costco gift cards and cash), but more importantly — you walk away with momentum that actually lasts.

Message me “habits” if you want in. We start September 1st.
