Submerging ones body in a tub of ice water seems to be trending in the fitness world. Have Caleigh and Sara tried it? No. Will they try it? Probably not. We’re asking the hard questions: What is the temperature of an ice bath? How does one maintain an ice bath? Why on earth are people dunking their bodies in ice cold water? Join us as we discuss the possible science behind this trend, uncover Cale...

Who ever would have thought we would make it to Season 2.... but here we are and in a BIG way and this time, we have GUESTS! So grab yourself a protein shake, or a glass or wine, and be ready for Sara to go on a few rants and soap boxes and for Caleigh to completely tune out most of the time. Follow us...Instagram: @nachofitnesscoachTikTok: @nachofitnesscoachTwitter: @nachofitcoachWebsite: www.nac...

Sara is here to gently remind Caleigh, once again, that what she does outside of her workouts is just as important, if not more, than the workout itself. This includes pre and post workout nutrition and supplements. Caleigh seems to have the pre-workout down…maybe too much? And she was today years old when she learned about post-workout nutrition. Sara’s here to get her straightened out. Join us a...

Caleigh has always thought her ability to eat what she wants without gaining weight was a good thing. As she ages, she’s realizing being physically thin does not necessarily equate to being healthy. Sara tells us how she got a glimpse into what her lifestyle could mean for her health, and decided she wanted better for herself. Join us as we discuss being slim but out of shape, healthy body composi...

Ready for some sole searching? Caleigh has always been baffled by Sara’s peculiar taste in footwear, but after several attempts to find comfy shoes for her pancake-like feet, she’s starting to wonder if Sara’s got a secret worth stepping into. Join us as we unravel the secrets of barefoot shoes, and wonder if we may have unwittingly joined a cult. Hey, if it involves comfortable feet, we’re in! Fo...

Caleigh has been “stepping up” her daily steps thanks to an app she uses to compete with friends. Sara walks us down memory lane, recalling prehistoric technology she used during her marathon (did you guys know Sara once ran a marathon?). Caleigh thinks she’s finally found a personal trainer, and it fits in her pocket! We also check in with Allen to see how his 12-3-30 treadmill workouts are going...

Caleigh and Sara return for Season 2, and this time, we’ve got a guest twirled into the mix! Enter Kirstin Nath, the charismatic Barre instructor who’s determined to sway our opinions on group fitness classes (or at the very least, prove that Barre is Best!) Brace yourselves for a heart-pumping blend of cardio, strength training, and stretching that even Caleigh and Sara are thinking about giving...

You did it! You worked tirelessly for months to achieve your fitness goals and you are finally there! Now what? Maintenance! Turns out, you don’t get to go back to bad habits and expect to keep your hard earned results. Sara is here to lecture us all on switching into maintenance mode, a step in the fitness journey she sees get skipped over all too often, resulting in finding yourself back at squa...

Is sweating alongside a group of other sweaty people the key to fitness success? Caleigh and Sara discuss the wild world of group fitness classes and their place in the fitness world. For somebody who isn’t a fan of group fitness classes, Sara has participated in quite an extensive range of them. Caleigh confesses to her one-hit wonder Jazzercise experience, and breaks the first rule of undergroun...

Yoga is an ancient and complex practice. Caleigh and Sara are here to make a complete mockery of it. We’ve both dabbled in mind-body exercises: Sara traveling around the country practicing yoga on beautiful beaches between half marathons, and Caleigh fighting for her life trying hot yoga for the first (and last) time. Join us as we discuss hot yoga, cold yoga, goat yoga, whether cats or dogs are t...

We can’t talk about fitness culture without talking about the drip. Caleigh and Sara discuss their preferences for sweat swag…and what gym wear trends they’re not loving. Come along as we discuss that obnoxious sports bra padding, washing our fitness ‘fits, and how Sara’s outfits from her fitness competitions are…not suitable for actual fitness. Caleigh flashes back to a devastating athletic wear...

Feeding a family is no easy task, but when it comes to meal planning, Sara and Caleigh couldn't be more different. Sara is all about simple meals with healthy, whole ingredients, while Caleigh has always made it more difficult than it needs to be. Join us as we dive into the world of meal planning and prep, including the time Sara’s kids had Doritos for snack…once, and why you should think twice a...

Sara eats her vegetables like a well adjusted, grown adult who knows that vegetables are full of essential vitamins, minerals and antioxidants and help keep her body running like the powerhouse that it is. Caleigh gags at the mention of mushrooms. How can a grown adult with the food preferences of a picky three-year-old incorporate more vegetables into her diet? One word: ranch. Join us this week...

Get ready to enter the Sweat-iverse as we dive headfirst into the world of virtual reality workouts. This week, Sara straps on her headset for her first VR workout while Caleigh does what any good friend does: records her and laughs! Join us as we discuss the future of fitness in VR, from workout apps to virtual kickboxing (which Caleigh would love if she knew what it was). Sara learns why you sho...

Welcome back to yet another episode about cardio, the topic that gets our heart rate up even before we hit the treadmill! This time, Caleigh and Sara take on the age-old debate of walking vs. running for cardio and settle it once and for all... or not. Tune in to hear about Caleigh's speedy seven-minute mile (that definitely never happened), and Sara tells us again how much she hates running, just...

Ready to get waisted with us? Caleigh braces herself for a scathing review from Sara about waist trainers, but it turns out they don’t cinch her nerves after all! Sara gives us the low-down on how she’s utilized these muffin-top managers in a seemingly safe and effective way. Caleigh wonders: if squeezing her pudge-pouch with a waist trainer won’t reduce belly fat, what place might they have in he...

Can you lose fat by targeting a specific body part? We’re turning to our expert Sara to find out, and the answer really bums Caleigh out. But she’s fine! Join us as Caleigh learns the hard facts about how fat loss and muscle building work. We also discuss body composition because we apparently forgot what this episode was about halfway through. Join us as we talk about spot reducing fat and how if...

Are vitamins and supplements necessary or a waste of money? The answer probably lies somewhere in between. Caleigh and Sara walk us through their respective supplement regimens. Sara recognizes possible gaps and deficiencies in her nutrition and supplements accordingly. Caleigh sometimes takes a multivitamin and hopes for the best. With so many supplement products out there, how do you know what,...

Pour yourself a glass of cheap wine (or two, we don’t care)! Because Sara is here to put a damper on Caleigh’s drinking habits by explaining how drinking on the weekends will make Caleigh fat and wrinkled. She doesn’t say it quite that way, but the message is clear. Either way, Sara is right and Caleigh is realizing that she needs to consider how alcohol may be hindering progress in her fitness jo...

Surprise! We’re dropping a bonus episode in your feed this week! We wanted to update you on when you can expect a true crime episode from us (spoiler: the 5th of Never), and fill you in on how our 12-3-30 treadmill challenge went. Did we both finish it, or did one of us undergo a cosmetic procedure instead? Caleigh realizes “you get what you pay for” when her free fitness coach doesn’t show up for...

Caleigh and Sara love a good challenge! Just not this one. Sara lays out her reasons for not being a fan of 75 Hard. Caleigh desperately tries to make it sound like she agrees, while knowing in her mind that she totally would have tried this. Is the 75 Hard Challenge dangerous? Or at the very least, a supplement-pushing marketing ploy? While it may seem effective, this challenge has more red flags...

We literally need water to survive. But how much H2O should you be drinking? Being properly hydrated leads to clearer thinking, better moods, better sleep, and more frequent bathroom breaks (you could use the extra steps, anyway). Caleigh tells about how she went from drinking a case of soda a day to 64oz of water. Sara challenges her to do even better, and to perhaps consider a skin care routine....

Welcome to Nacho Fitness Coach! Co-hosts Sara and Caleigh set out to discuss, debunk, agree, and disagree on the many facets of fitness culture. Caleigh is a beginner, and Sara is an expert. They both love cheap wine and tacos. Each week, these two friends will cover a different topic to try and make sense of loads of information (and misinformation) out there with the goal of bringing clarity, in...

Accountability HAS to exist in your fitness journey. But what that looks like to each individual can vary greatly! Sara has a “tried-and-true” method for being motivated through accountability, while Caleigh is just…”truly trying”. Can she DIY her fitness journey? Sara tells us how she plans to get back on track after having kids. Caleigh planned to do the same, but procrastination, anxiety, and i...

Sara starts out giving us some really insightful, expert information about listening to your body, the benefits of rest and recovery, and the risks of over-exertion. Then, things go a bit off the rails as Sara uncovers the truth about Caleigh’s past race experiences. Caleigh swears she wasn’t lying, she just thought they didn’t count. Join us as we discuss signs of needing to rest, normalizing not...
