Walking toward the gym doors with a knot in your stomach?

Already imagining everyone staring while you try to work out which machine does what?

You’re not broken, you’re normal. And this episode will give you a clear, no-drama way to get started.

In Gym Anxiety 101 we break down...

- What anxiety in the gym really is, and why most people are too busy to judge you.

- Exactly what to ignore: physiques, outfits, “perfect form” police and the influencer circus workouts.

- What to actually do the moment you walk in so you feel prepared, not lost.

- A simple 2-day starter program using basic machines so you can walk in, follow the plan, and walk out confident.

If you’ve been stuck in “I’ll start Monday” because the gym feels intimidating, this conversation will help you trade panic for a clear plan and a couple of small wins every time you show up.

And if you’d like support building this into your real life—not some fantasy schedule, we’ll show you how we do that with clients inside The Weight Loss Podcast Academy.

Every morning you step on the scales and in two seconds you’ve decided if today is “good” or “bad”.

Up = panic. Down = relief. Either way, that little number owns your mood.

In this episode of The Weight Loss Podcast we show you 3 better ways to track progress so you can stop obsessing over your weight and finally see what’s actually improving.

We’ll cover:

Progress photos – how to take and compare them so you can see changes the scales miss.

Strength levels – why getting stronger is a huge green flag and how to track your lifts without overthinking it.

Day-to-day energy – a simple way to log how you feel so you can connect your habits to your focus, mood and patience.

This one’s for you if the scales control your headspace, you’ve had “F**k it” days after a bad weigh-in, and you’re tired of feeling like nothing is working.

By the end you’ll know exactly what to track, how to track it, and how to build a progress dashboard that keeps you going...even when the scales bounce around.

If you’ve ever wondered as a woman why losing weight feels so hard, this episode is for you.

Courtney opens up her human side, and talks about the real battles she faced while undergoing weight loss.

”There are days you don’t want to work out, the nights you eat your emotions, and the times you start to slip without even realising it.”

Join Matt and Courtney as they break down the patterns that quietly sabotage progress and show you how to break free from them for good.

They share the mindset and habits that helped them and their clients finally lose the weight and keep it off.

This isn’t about quick fixes or 28-day challenges. It’s about understanding yourself, building awareness, and learning what it actually takes to create lasting change.
