About this episode

The episode discusses various myths in the fitness industry that affect athletes and coaches.

What Fitness Industry myths bug you the most, and why? Anthony, Raquel, and Sofia discuss and pick apart all the myths that bug them as athletes, humans, and coaches who've been in this space and coaching people for a long time. They discuss: - The myth of "if you're not fit, it's because you don't want it bad enough": the erasure of complex factors that contribute to individuals having more or less time (and ability) to train - The myth of "every goal is attainable": not all goals are realistic for all people, even with long timelines, and that's okay - The myth of "If you train like me, you can look like me": the unfortunate truth that an athlete's training and enhancement history matter just as much as their current training cycle - The myth of "If you didn't sweat, it doesn't count": how easy it is to compete yourself out of a good training stimulus and wind up overreaching and underperforming - The myth of "women need to train differently than men": how that biologically falls apart under scrutiny and many more rants inbetween.
