Everyone overcomplicates fat loss. In this episode we break down the single biggest reason you're not losing weight - and why "I'm not losing weight" is the wrong question in the first place. We get into the difference between losing weight and losing fat, why the scale lies to you, the under-reporting trap that quietly stalls most people, how to actually weigh your food (cooked vs raw), and wheth...

A doctor told Mark he'd be in his coffin by 40. Two years later, he's 137kg lighter — and he never touched a weight-loss jab. No Ozempic. No surgery. Just the most honest transformation we've ever filmed. Mark went from 234kg (34 stone) to 97kg in two years — the natural way. He sits down with Nick, Grant and Gemma to talk about the GP appointment that scared him straight, what he was really eatin...

Is "science-based lifting" actually making you better - or just making you train like a robot with a foam roller through your arm? In Episode 146, Nick and Grant break down where evidence-based training earns its place and where the internet took it way too far. Bluetooth handles, lengthened partials, 3 reps-in-reserve, mouth guards mid-set - we get into all of it. Two coaches, 15 years each, 30,0...

Most people think pole fitness is a party trick. Beccie Dunn thought it looked cool in a photo and couldn't even walk into a class alone. Then it fixed her. Beccie spent years trapped in body dysmorphia — eating 900 calories a day, training like a bodybuilder, desperate to be as small as possible. Pole fitness broke that cycle. When she saw how much strength, muscle and proper nutrition it actuall...

Everyone's telling you to start your summer diet. We're telling you to stop. Nick, Grant & Gemma have a combined 40+ years of PT experience — and their biggest lesson isn't about what to eat or how much cardio to do. It's this: the body you're chasing for summer probably isn't worth the cost of getting it. In this episode of The Performwell Podcast, Gemma opens up about the psychological fallo...

Most people are waiting to feel ready before they commit to a goal. The problem? That moment never comes. In this episode, we sit down with Grant to talk about why having a concrete event — whether it's a photo shoot, marathon, Ironman, or white-collar boxing match — is one of the most powerful tools for transforming your fitness AND your mindset. Nick shares how he went from his lowest point post...

What does your Nan know that a man spending $2 million a year doesn't? More than you'd think. Grant and Gemma — two experienced PTs and online coaches — break down Brian Johnson's extreme biohacking experiment and what it actually teaches us about living longer.
