2 Fit Chicks

Amanda Ashley has built a life around music, creativity and being completely herself. This week, she joins JoJo and Rebecca to talk about the different chapters of her career, from performing all over Rochester to writing new original music and playing bass in a new hard-rock project. But some of the most meaningful work Amanda is doing happens offstage. As program director for Girls Rock and Prid...

JoJo and Rebecca are back for a candid conversation about competition prep, getting older, staying strong and finding a version of fitness you actually enjoy. Rebecca shares the realities of bodybuilding competition, from training, posing and judging to restrictive meal plans, spray tans and the emotions that come with stepping onto the stage. She reflects on her recent competition, what she learn...

Rebecca and Jojo are joined by Brianna Ferranti of Bri Brows for a catch-up that goes from fitness prep and fashion to beauty trends and everything you ever wanted to know about eyebrows. Rebecca and Jojo are deep into prep, and their clothes are officially falling off. They talk about the weight loss that comes with the process, why people sometimes assume something is wrong, and what it feels li...

Rebecca, Jojo and guest Alynn Dasta are in studio!! It's a high calorie day and they have a lot to talk about. This week, Rebecca shares an update on her fitness competition prep, Jojo gets into her experience dating a younger guy, and Alynn Dasta joins the conversation about the wild world of online dating.  From dating profiles and age gaps to being single and happy, the girls have plenty of sto...

Rebecca and Jojo are flying solo this week and they have a lot to say. Rebecca is down 15 pounds since Easter, five weeks out from her pro show in Minneapolis, and loving the slow burn. Fit checks, Lucky Frog tonics, Florida nails, and an honest conversation about what competition prep actually looks like from the inside. No steroids, no shortcuts, no misery. Just discipline, macros, and figuring...

Can your outfit actually change your mood? This week we're hanging out with Dani from Second Wing Studio, a therapist with a serious love of thrifting, vintage finds, and fashion. We talk dopamine dressing, why looking good really can help you feel good, and how Dani turned her love of secondhand shopping into her own online boutique. Plus, we're talking vintage trends making a comeback, mixing an...

The Fit Chicks are back with a summer catch-up! This week we're talking recent trips, staying active while traveling, and why a simple walk might still be the best workout around. From hitting step goals on vacation to the little habits that help us stay consistent, we're sharing what's been working this summer.  We also get into our latest fashion finds, wellness favorites, and wrap things up wit...

JoJo and Rebecca are joined by Mike Costco and Julie Delarius, a musical duo who have been performing together for ten years, married to other people, which everyone always gets wrong. Mike opens up about something bigger than music: nearly two years ago he received a heart transplant after congestive heart failure left him unable to walk across a room. He went from canceling nothing to spending n...

Rebecca, Jojo, and guest Sandy CC join for a late night recording session in the dark. Healthy shots, Red Bull with vodka on vacation, and a deep dive into vibration plates, gua sha, lymphatic drainage, and why old school cable work is still the most effective thing in the gym. Plus a full nostalgia trip through Billy Blanks Tae Bo, Charlene Prickett aerobics, buns of steel, and forcing your kids...

Rebecca and Jojo are back after a couple weeks off and they brought the best guest the show has had yet. Mia is nine years old, a competitive dancer, a 49ers superfan, and a liver cancer survivor who rang the bell in January 2023! She walks through her story with more clarity than most adults could manage, talks about the Build A Bear cans she collects for kids going through treatment, her dance p...

Mia Lowry is a criminal defense attorney, a pageant competitor, and the woman producing the Wicked Edit fashion show on Saturday. She also has a coon hound she adopted in law school because she can't say no to anything. JoJo and Rebecca sit down with Mia to talk about how she went from volunteering at Worth More Nation events to producing her own show from scratch, what it's actually like to walk...

JoJo got busted speeding, ended up in driving school and community service… where she and Rebecca helped an 8-year-old liver cancer survivor named Mia pick her dream pageant outfit. Mia told them they win the prize. Honestly? She stole the episode. Then the chicks dive into the insane world of competition bikinis: custom fits, crystals, 5-inch heels, and a suit you can’t even get wet… for 500 buck...

Bill showed up with a puppy. Her name is Kelce. She wore pink. No one could focus for the first five minutes—and no one even tried. Bryan Dezio, founder of Capone’s Sandwich Shops in Rochester, joins Rebecca and Jojo straight off a shift—because that’s the only kind of time he has. Fresh haircut, 60 pounds down, 110 days sober… and he didn’t have to say any of that. He chose to. Bryan built Capone...

Rebecca’s car is back—and somehow looks better than when she bought it. Shoutout to Mike Brockie at Mobile Paint Guy Collision in Gates… full glow-up, inside and out. Meanwhile, it took a full support team to survive the weekend—dad on Uber duty, JoJo on pickup, because yeah… it takes a village. Enter Jenny from the Barre—real name Jenny Rossi—Midtown Athletic Club instructor, mom of four (includi...

Rebecca and Jojo just finished a glutes and legs class at Midtown this morning and they brought reinforcements. Michelle Cassara, aka The Organizing Genie, is in the studio. Michelle spent her career working at a plastic surgeon's office, retired, and turned a lifelong obsession with organizing into a full time business. Her friends had been telling her for years to do it. One friend opened a pant...

The chicks are back from Easter weekend and JoJo just flew in from a destination wedding in Miami. Meanwhile Rebecca is officially in competition prep for an August show and the meal schedule has already started. Six meals a day. She is full and it is day one. Hanna Fenton from Ora Esthetics joins the table for a deep dive into one of the most talked about and most misunderstood treatments in skin...

Jojo and Rebecca are back, and this week they brought a friend. Will Imburgia, chiropractor and owner of Freedom Chiropractic in Penfield, pulls up a chair for episode 28. The girls have been in his office and they can vouch. The shockwave therapy, the muscle release work, the cupping that looks alarming but apparently feels great after the first two minutes. Will breaks down what he actually does...

JoJo and Rebecca came back from spa day… relaxed, refreshed… and immediately spiraled into stories. They hit Elephant and the Dove, overdid it (obviously), and JoJo dropped a line that stopped everything cold: “I’d rather be hungry than full.” Yeah… we unpack that. Then Michael Tandoi pulls up — fresh off a cruise with the boys (San Juan, DR, Bahamas… light flex), and a paving convention in New Or...

JoJo and Rebecca sit down with Jerry Suhr and Hunter Johnson, two bachelors in the upcoming Cancer Support Community of Rochester bachelor auction at Anthology on March 21st. Jerry is on the associate board and co-chairing the event. Hunter is one of the bachelors. The crew does a fit check, gets into how JoJo met Jerry on a dating app eight years ago and they became friends instead, and somehow e...

JoJo's got a new car. Sort of. She walked into Hoselton, looked Patrick Diflorio dead in the eyes, and said "which one would you get?" No budget breakdown, no checklist, no test drive strategy. Just vibes and a phone-a-friend to Rebecca. Classic. The SUV won, eco mode is engaged, and everyone on the road is passing her. She's fine with that. Enter Patty Cutlets himself, Patrick Diflorio from Hosel...

Rebecca and JoJo welcome Sandy Arena from Fancy Frock boutique in Churchville to the studio for a fun, wide ranging conversation. Sandy shares the story behind Worthmore Nation, the nonprofit she founded in 2018 to empower girls who have experienced trauma through positive pageantry, removing barriers like the cost of gowns and formal wear. What started in her house with donated dresses grew into...

The chicks slid their way into the studio—literally. Ice, near-falls, and an immediate demand for salt and filters. The AI debate kicks things off: JoJo thanks ChatGPT like a person, Bill has a whole Irish-accented Alexa situation, and apparently saying "please" to AI is burning enough energy to heat a lake. Science. Enter Matt Lusinarius, Sales Director at Empire State Distillers—and yes, Rebecca...

The lighting’s bad, the filters are missing, and the ladies are already making demands—so yeah, business as usual. Bill is immediately put on notice. He’s on it… assuming the fixes are coming straight out of their paycheck. Leadership. Enter the guest: Jesse Sanfilippo—real estate pro and former bartender at Tony D’s, aka the sacred ground where the Two Fit Chicks first crossed paths with him. Nat...

Before the guest even arrives, Rebecca pulls JoJo into a serious discussion about a social media post that everyone thinks they have an opinion on—until you imagine yourself actually living it. Cue the uncomfortable honesty. Enter the guest (with wine—already winning): Kristen Kildea, director of the Isaiah House. JoJo instantly recognizes her… just not from the name (classic). Rebecca, once again...

The Two Fit Chicks are back and kicking off the new year with laughs, holiday chaos, and powerful tools for living better. Jo-Anne and Rebecca swap unforgettable Christmas and New Year’s stories—including a hilarious tale of a holiday decoration stolen from a local pub and the clever way the pub fought back. Jo-Anne also shares who she spent Christmas Eve with, and the story proves once and for al...
