FASTer Way Podcast

This one has been a long time coming — and worth every second of the wait. In this Coach Confessional, CEO Amanda Tress and Pro Trainer Haven Hennessey are back in the studio with a summer full of stories, a fall packed with announcements, and the biggest reveal in FASTer Way history. But first — Haven almost drowned in Costa Rica. And Amanda was not going back in after her. (The co-captain handled it. Everyone is fine. The hair did not survive.) Once they made it back to dry land and onto the FASTer Way team retreat, the clarity that came out of Costa Rica changed everything. Amanda breaks down what she asked herself back in January: If I were starting this company today, what would I build? The answer led to scrapping the legacy app entirely and building something brand new from the ground up — a conversational AI platform powered by the clinically proven FASTer Way strategy. Meet Lumi — the FASTer Way's AI guide coming inside the new app, designed to give clients real-time answers on protein, workouts, fasting, and more. Think ChatGPT for fitness and nutrition, built entirely on the FASTer Way method. Build 33 is live. Sixty certified coaches tested it this week. And it is only getting better. But the tech is only half the story. Amanda and Haven also pull back the curtain on the October 5th Test Group — 5,000 spots, $20 to join, and a brand new workout split that leans hard into lower body strength, smarter HIIT separation, and the programming evolution the data has been pointing to all summer. Plus: Steptember is back with a bingo card, and Amanda has Grover's disease (yes, it's real, yes, she blames Florida). If you've been waiting to come back — or you've never started — this episode is your sign. It will never be easier to join the FASTer Way than it's about to be. Get on the waiting list. Because at the FASTer Way, we don't just keep up — we lead.
