Raw, unfiltered.

This week, we break down the reality of aggressive fat loss phases on 1600 calories and the stress of tracking scale weight. Tom shares his return to the commercial gym scene (PureGym), ranting about gym Smells... and why lifting gloves need to go.

We also drop a controversial take on Hyrox training, debating whether exercises like the "Shooter" and Burpee Broad Jumps are elite fitness or just "Adult PE."

Plus, we discuss the explosion of AI tools for online coaches, from terrible AI avatars to content scraping—and whether they help or hurt your fitness business.

Finally, we settle the debate on the top 3 condiments for life.
