From Midwife to Growing a Fitness Business with Sharelle Grant

Do you feel like you never had a role model that resonated with you when you were just getting started? Are you looking for continuing education that speaks to the population that you serve?

Sharelle Grant and I talked about her entry into the fitness industry and her experiences with midwifery and nursing. We reflect on the moments where she found herself learning more about women's health and how that's highlighted the importance of empowering other women with challenging science-based strength programs and continuing education.

We talk about how women's fitness isn't just the 3lb pink dumbbells that have been portrayed in articles online and in print and we discuss the direction we want to see the industry go in the years to come.

This is a great episode! You're going to love it! Be sure to tag us on social when you tune in!

Program Design After Passing the CSCS with Dr. Matt Casturo

Education is a fundamental part of the fitness industry, and I am a huge proponent of absorbing as much as you can as long as it does not distract you from your goals a la the Coach's Curse.

One of the many certifications that a trainer or physical therapist can acquire is the NSCA's Certified Strength & Conditioning Specialist exam. The CSCS is an expansive certification designed for strength and conditioning coaches that has scientific and practical components, covering topic such as nutrition, exercise science, and scenario-based analyses.

Today Dr. Matt Casturo joins me to talk all about how he blended his strength and conditioning background with his physical therapy education to create the Movement System and help educate other physical therapists and trainers as they study for the CSCS. We dive deep into program design, and Matt outlines how learning its fundamentals will benefit their clients and help avoid things like burnout. He also goes into detail about slight...

The Pre/Postnatal Athlete with Kim Perry

As many of you know, prior to my big shift into the marketing world, I worked with a lot of moms as a personal trainer, and as a mother myself, I know the importance of finding trustworthy sources that you can adapt to your own specific needs.

The truth is: up until a few years ago, finding a space for pregnancy workouts that was more than prenatal yoga but not as intense as workouts meant for bulking and shredding. 

Thankfully prenatal workouts have come a long way, and pregnant people have more great choices than ever before.

Joining me today to unpack that fit pregnancy journey the industry has taken is Kim Perry. Kim is a mom of three, and we dive into all sorts of myths and expectations that pregnant women face when it comes to both health and wellness as well as navigating the fitness industry. It was my pleasure and privilege to invite her on, compare our fitbiz journeys, and hear how she helps expectant mothers stay fit and healthy.
