In this week’s episode of the Push Pull Legs Podcast, Dan and Tom tackle the ultimate gym business summer survival guide.

As the UK heatwaves hit, we reveal how elite online coaches and personal trainers can maximise client retention, level up their coaching programs, and out-skill the competition during the quieter... DULL summer months.

We chat about the controversy surrounding the Enhanced Games, the reality of MAYBE ..." doping" in professional sports, and why every fitness enthusiast needs to understand the science of plyometrics.

Plus, we debate CapCut's AI video editing tools for fitness content creators, rank the best bakery desserts, and expose Tom's absolute hatred for raisins.

We kick off this week with some essential golf updates: Tom’s got new Darth Vader and Stormtrooper head covers, and he’s gearing up for a championship round (vlogging intentions included). Dan, meanwhile, is battling the Dubai heat and the "summer handicap" struggle. But the meat of the episode is a deep dive into the Runna app. Tom is five weeks into an advanced 5K plan and has some thoughts.

In this week’s episode of the Push Pull Legs Podcast, hosts Dan and Tom dive deep into why the "f*** around and find out" method might actually be the absolute best way of learning lifting techniques, mastering gym equipment, and building a successful business. We’re breaking down the physics of the landmine press, how to optimise coaching sheets without being a lazy online coach, and why real-world personal trainers need to start problem-solving instead of just copying YouTube videos. Plus, Tom loses his mind over the Apple Magic Mouse design, we rant about psychopaths who use external trackpads, and we brutally critique a pro chef's ranking of 31 Tesco meal deal sandwiches.
