On another episode of #AuthenticAF we discuss all the different types of muscle we often hear about: from lean, long, nimble, lengthy, bulky, 3D, toned and so on. And why muscle is just muscle.

Comparison syndrome is something that's rife in the fitness world, so we share our own experiences and what...

Purpose is everything. Being a purpose driven business transforms the way you think, act and behave in business. Sadly, very few people and businesses in the fitness industry are purpose driven. They all want to "help people", yet snake oil marketing for quick fixes – aimed and clients and coaches alike, has left the industry broken and void of all genuine purpose. Ego has prevailed, and it's beco...
