With 'Nutrition' being such a massive topic, this conversation will definitely be a 'Part 1'. On this call Liam and Mass chat through Liam's career, our scope of practice in nutrition in the fitness space, and the high level principles of nutrition coaching that often get ignored and replaced by unnecessarily complex systems and products.

We circle back – This episode is a re-share from last season. On the back of many enquiries over the last little while relating to this subject, it makes sense to bring this one out of the archives. I talk about the full career of the coach as we see it; how it progresses, what's required and what's to be expected. I talk about the nature of the apprenticeship, the definition of success...

On this episode Mass interviews Jenz. We dig into Jenz’s priorities, personal mission, vision, legacy; where they originate from, his influences and how his essence and personality feed into them. This isn’t your usual biographical podcast interview – you already know Jenzo, so we hope this pod serves to be more useful, practical, and empowering.

The world of nutrition coaching is equally as hectic as the world of fitness coaching. With many nutrition guru’s tabling their way as gospel… evidence based, GMB, genetics, calories, macros, weight neutral, body neutral, intuitive, etc… we can understand the confusion in both how we’re supposed to approach nutrition within our coaching practice, and also the perception and expectations of our cli...

What is the right volume? What should happen to the volume throughout a progression? How do I select the volume for my client at any given moment in time? All questions we're asked regularly. The answers, as you can imagine, depend upon many factors. Here Mass attempts to sort through them...

Today Mass talks about some of the various influences on fitness over the years, and the perception of it that lead folk today towards short blasts of poorly aligned strength training for their ultimate long term aims. Mass tables both ends of the spectrum and their differences – Strength Challenges for a Lifetime + Strength training for Sport – along with the difference in intentions and how both...

Arguably the greatest influence on the outcome for the client is the ability to establish adequate challenge at each step along their progression, as a result of the collaboration in the coach-client relationship. In today's podcast Mass talks about the potential inputs that feed into these decisions, and how we should facilitate their influence in our coaching practices.

Times are changing, quickly! With this in mind it’d be remiss of us to advise you to bury your head until it all blows over – it won’t. Whilst fundamental principles and elements of how we coached 10 years ago remain today, and may still do in 10 years time, there are many things that have changed over the last decade, with many more changes afoot in years to come. In this podcast [which is the au...

Ahead of the Live SGPT seminar tomorrow in Brighton, Mass shares his thoughts around PD for small group – ideals, benchmarks and ideas for progression towards them for your gym and coaching team.

Jenzo was back in the room for a chat with Mass on this one. Together they reflected on...the history of the PFCA, our definition of success, impact, the system of education we've created to date, and last weekend's FFC 2.

Too often today young coaches leave our industry prematurely because they're lost and disillusioned. On this episode Mass tables 2 main reasons as to why this is the case, and what the coach can do to help navigate themselves back on track.

On this week's episode Mass tackles some questions we've had in over the last few weeks, including marketing as a coach, client mindset, olympic lifting program design, beginner functional athlete program design. Punches are not pulled. Go listen for some tough, truthful, no BS answers.

Do we need to upgrade tracking 'Nurture' – The more subjective side of coaching? Or do we just need to get better at coaching it? Listen to Mass work through this one in an attempt to reach a conclusion.

The function [in functional fitness] is determined by the exerciser, not the exercise. Here Mass talks around why as coaches we shouldn't get this mixed up, and the history of 'Functional Fitness' more broadly.

We see the world in stories and narrative, and the coach-client relationship should be no different. If the systems we’re coaching within do not provide space for the client to tell their story, AND the coach to listen, the reality is that we’ll never connect to the client, or connect the dots between the prescription and what matters to the client most. The outcome; meaningless, thoughtless, tran...
