In this epic episode of The True Form Podcast, I catch up with Jonny Abbey—a hybrid athlete and coach with an impressive background in bodybuilding, endurance training, and exercise science. Jonny shares his powerful insights on transitioning from traditional bodybuilding into hybrid and endurance training, and how this shift changed not only his fitness but also his perspective on life.
Here's what we dive into:
✅ Hybrid Training: How to build muscle, strength, and endurance all at once—and why it matters.
✅ Evolving Training Values: How your fitness priorities naturally change as you move from your 20s to your 30s (and beyond).
✅ Stoicism & Fitness: Jonny explains how adopting stoic principles transformed his training, resilience, and daily life.
✅ Training Through Adversity: Jonny’s heartfelt story about caring for his sick mum—and how training became his anchor and saved his life.
✅ Stepping Back to Step Forward: Why Jonny took a break from the fitness industry, and the powerful lessons he learned about ego, identity, and personal growth.
Whether you're a bodybuilder, endurance athlete, or simply someone looking to improve your mindset and resilience, this conversation is packed with actionable tips and deep insights that will inspire you to rethink your approach to fitness and life.
