What happens when you finally hit your target weight, goal, life or achieve that 'impossible' PB, but still feel like something is missing? In this season finale of UR Podcast, we're exploring the essential philosophy of going beyond results.

Ever feel like you're being held to ransom by data, where a single number on a scale or graph can instantly wipe away weeks of positive momentum and feeling great? Wrapping things up this week, we'll look at what happens when your initial fitness goals are solved (we do like solutions) and the transition from chasing aesthetics to finding a 'why' that sustains you for a lifetime.

One point we've hit on this season and last is that more isn't better - better is better, and knowing and understanding UR 'why' can be the key to unlocking what's better for you. So, whether you're a long-time listener or just stumbling upon our podcast for the first time, this episode brings it all back together for the season, doubling down on training for life rather than just a temporary transformation.

You've got eight episodes in full to pick up on this season, and the even better news is that season four has its 'green light' for later this year. So what are you waiting for? Hit play now, wherever you get your podcasts and we'll see you on the mats!

It's the penultimate episode of Season 3, and this week Andy and Ken dive deep into the heart of what makes a gym more than just a place to sweat: the social dimension of fitness.

Are you tired of feeling like just another anonymous number in a commercial gym or struggling to find the motivation to train alone?

This week's chats explore how, over the past few years, we've cultivated a 'tribe' where coaches and members genuinely know your name and support your journey.

We're dipping into the social aspect of training, in particular under our own roof, where the likes of our Urban Games, UR Run Club, themed events for significant days across the year and more have helped members to grow and inspire one another.

We'll touch on work-life integration, the importance of having a third space and scratch off some pain points along the way.

Growing in isolation is one thing, but growing in a group, that's one thing we're great at.

If you're looking to add a social dimension to your own fitness journey, drop us a DM today or check the website for more details. Or better yet, take 30 minutes out of your day and have a listen to this episode - there's just one more to come this season!

What happens to your fitness journey when your body stops playing by the rules?

In this week's episode of UR Podcast, we're diving into the often invisible world of training with chronic conditions.

The gym floor over the years has opened up discussions on everything from heart health and diabetes to MS and Lyme, with many athletes and some of our own community fighting battles that no one else can see.

Andy's been there, in the eye of the storm, and finding a path back to strength, so we'll touch on that story, but ultimately, we know that you are not your diagnosis.

We'll have a look at how we figure out the minimum effective dose for training, learning to control your condition rather than letting it control you and navigating the gym floor when your symptoms aren't visible to others.

Whether you're newly diagnosed, supporting a friend or training partner, or a coach looking to serve your community better, we hope you'll find something useful in this latest episode.

We'd love to hear from you, too! Have you had to adjust your training due to a chronic condition? How do you meet yourself where you're at on the tough days? Please let us know in the comments here or wherever you listen to podcasts.
