Weezy and Justin dive deep into the messy world of fitness relationships (with fitness, not your gym crush). Spoiler alert: Yours might need therapy. From government guidelines that actually make sense, to exercise psychology, to the brutal truth about diet culture, they're serving up reality checks.

Ever caught yourself saying, "I'm too slow for run club" or packing kettlebells for vacation? Yeah, we need to talk. The team breaks down what healthy fitness looks like (hint: it's not earning your dinner through burpees) versus the toxic patterns that keep you trapped in an endless cycle of shame and obligation.

If you are (or know) someone who can't take two weeks off without having an existential crisis, this episode will either validate your concerns or gently roast your fitness neuroses. Either way, you'll laugh, learn, and probably question at least three things you're currently doing in the name of "health." Oh, and you don't know enough about Taylor Swift.

This week we brought on our very first guest! Allie Gerber is an accountant who's been keeping small business owners (including both of us) financially sane since 2002.

What started as a conversation about Weezy's upcoming brick-and-mortar expansion plans turned into a masterclass on entrepreneurship, complete with tales of social media agencies gone wrong and the harsh realities of business formation.

Allie drops some knowledge bombs about why you can NOT just handshake your way through hiring employees, the importance of having actual contracts (shocking, I know), and how "it's a privilege to do your books" became her business mantra.

We also discovered that the fitness industry's lack of regulation is both a blessing and a curse, why you should never let ChatGPT write your legal documents, and ended up with a quiz where the correct answer was either 'fitness' or 'sex'. Yes, that happened.

Spoiler alert: Someone got their window punched in by a shadowboxer. Listen to the end to find out who.

Weezy and Justin are breaking format and have a free-range conversation! We go over business challenges, the gyms both hosts are planning, why communication will always beat technical know-how, and why buying a bazooka may be a sound business strategy. Hang out with your favorite strong, funny, friends and let us know what you think of this style of pod!

Get ready to laugh, learn, and maybe snort-laugh as Weezy and Justin bring some clarity and real answers to the confusing place where motherhood meets fitness. From ACOG guidelines (spoiler: they're actually helpful) to tackling the dreaded diastasis recti, our brave and conventionally attractive hosts serve up practical wisdom with a side of reality checks. Whether you're dodging morning sickness while trying to squeeze in squats, figuring out how to breathe properly again (yes, you need to re-learn to breathe), or just wondering if chasing a crawling baby counts as cardio (it absolutely does), this episode proves that fitness during pregnancy (and beyond) doesn't have to be - and likely won't be - perfect – it just has to work for YOUR beautifully chaotic life.

Justin relays shocking stories and Weezy-gasp-worthy anecdotes from listeners about great, terrible, and just ODD things that they've had trainers and coaches do with them.

You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll wonder why people go into fitness as a profession-- and maybe learn something along the way.

Tune in and listen up to learn what you should look for and what you should look out for in a great coach!

Weezy Shumaker and Justin McClintock are back, with Weezy taking the reins on this critical discussion. Load Vs Capacity is foundational to how both of us make decisions for clients, and for ourselves, and we want to break it apart so you can use it immediately.

Spoiler alert: your body's got limits, and ignoring them is like trying to pour a gallon into a shot glass.

What You'll Actually Learn:

• Why your coach needs to know about that sketchy knee from your college skateboarding days
• How to figure out how your life stress is critical in optimizing your gains
• The art of not being a hero when your body's waving the white flag
• Growth mindset stuff that's actually useful (not just Instagram quotes)
• Planning ahead so you don't crash and burn when life gets spicy

Bottom Line: Stop training like you're preparing for war when you should be building for life. Your future self will thank you for listening to this one.

We're Weezy and Justin, and we're about to blow the lid off the dumpster fire that is modern gym behavior. Look, we've all seen it – the guy who leaves sweat puddles on the bench, the equipment hog camping on a machine for 40 minutes, and don't even get us started on the unwanted "coaching" from random strangers.

We're diving headfirst into the wild world of gym etiquette because, frankly, some of you need to hear this. We're breaking down the good, the bad, and the absolutely cringeworthy across five major categories that'll either make you nod in agreement or realize you've been that person all along.

The Dirty Truth About Cleanliness – Spoiler alert: Your sweat isn't a badge of honor, it's just gross.

Distraction Central – Why focus matters, for safety AND results.

Movement Mayhem – The unspoken rules of navigating gym traffic without being a human wrecking ball.

The Coaching Conundrum – When help becomes harassment, how to spot the difference, as well as space cadet syndrome

Hands Off, Creep – Because nobody signed up for unwanted touching with their membership.

We're sharing the raw, unfiltered stories from our own training experiences. Whether you're a seasoned lifter or still figuring out which end of the kettlebell to hold, we're serving up the awareness check you didn't know you needed.

This isn't just another fitness podcast – it's your survival guide to not being the reason someone switches gyms. We're talking respect, boundaries, and how to create spaces where everyone can chase their gains without dodging the walking red flags.
