In this episode of Behind the Method, we sit down with Coach Melinda Zhinga — 4 years coaching with EPM, 5 years in the fitness industry — for a raw look at the transformation that changed everything.

Before EPM, Melinda was a mum of two young girls, co-owner of a hairdressing salon, and 23kg heavier than she is today. She made the decision to take her health, her body, and her identity back into her own hands — and achieved an incredible transformation over just 6 months.

Melinda opens up about the mindset shifts, the strategies, and the reality of fitting training and nutrition around two young kids and a full time business. Her story is proof that your best physique — and your best years — can absolutely still be ahead of you, no matter your age or stage of life.

If you're a mum who feels like there's no time, no energy, and no idea where to even start, this episode is for you.

In this episode of Behind the Method, we sit down with EPM's Head Coach and Founder, Jarrod Brown, for a raw look at his journey from aspiring professional athlete to the coach he is today.

Jarrod grew up playing competitive rep basketball, with dreams of playing college basketball in the USA and going pro. But back and hip injuries derailed that path — and along the way, he fell out of love with the sport that had defined him.

What came next changed everything. Jarrod discovered weight training, and with it, a new purpose. Recovering from his injuries taught him more about the body than any textbook could, reshaped his mindset around what he could and couldn't control, and ultimately laid the foundation for the way he coaches his clients today.

This is the story of setback, reinvention, and how the lowest points can lead you exactly where you're meant to be.
