In this episode we discuss some of the struggles we're facing at the moment and share things we're doing to overcome them. It's a heavier episode than usual but we don't feel we're alone so really hoping we can help some listeners who might be going through or exposed to the same sorts of things at the moment.

General catch up for this podcast episode. It's been a while since we had a good chat so wanted to keep this one general chick chat and sharing our life and news.

We wanted to cover the differences, pro and cons in this episode between face to face PT and Online Coaching. Our thoughts on whether having experience on the gym floor as a PT is beneficial, but also from a clients perspective as to what they can expect to receive with each.

Get in touch with us on instagram @wherewerewe.podcast and share yours, or if you want to discuss how you can g...
