In this week’s episode of the Push Pull Legs Podcast, Dan and Tom reveal why the trendy obsession with "client touchpoints" is turning online fitness coaches into 24/7 babysitters instead of real humans...
We explain how to establish "office hours", set professional boundaries, and demand mutual respect for your time. Next, we unpack the physiology of cardiovascular conditioning.
Learn why a low resting heart rate and rapid heart rate recovery (HRR) are the markers of longevity, and how to program cardio using real-time heart rate zones.
Plus, the debate - ultimate condiments tier list and call out disrespectful barbers!

In this week’s episode of the Push Pull Legs Podcast, Dan and Tom tackle the thin line between building an authentic online fitness brand and navigating modern cancel culture.
We tear into a viral controversy regarding online coaches with ADHD, why raw observational comedy outs the clients you don't want to work with, and why playing the victim won't save a stalling personal training business.
Plus, we completely deconstruct energy system development, exposing how standard physique coaching falls flat by treating cardio as a brainless box-ticking exercise instead of tracking heart rate, training lactate thresholds, and maximising recovery between hard lifting blocks.
We also rank the top five UK soft drinks (leading to a massive Dr Pepper argument) and share some hit Netflix recommendations!

In this week’s episode of the Push Pull Legs Podcast, the boys reveal a crucial business mindset shift for online coaches and personal trainers: How to stop running your business on raw emotion.
We chat about how the daily highs and lows, like signing four clients or getting ghosted by one, can sabotage your long-term consistency, and why data tracking beats emotional reacting MOST of the time.

In this week’s episode of the Push Pull Legs Podcast, hosts Dan and Tom tear apart the ongoing debate surrounding wearable fitness trackers like Whoop, Garmin, and the Oura Ring.
We unpack the recent public backlash against Stephen Bartlett’s alcohol consumption comments and analyse whether health optimisation metrics promote positive lifestyle tracking or just state-of-the-art health anxiety.
Plus, we look directly at running app strength training plans, exposing the shocking program flaws, lopsided push-pull volume, and highly questionable exercise selections designed by "expert" in-house AI.
Finally, we defend the massive financial and social value of being an in-person personal trainer over an online coach, and rank the ultimate top five roast dinner meats (including an emotive defence of roast lamb).

In this week’s episode of the Push Pull Legs Podcast, uncover a major truth bomb for online coaches and personal trainers: Do you actually like making content, or do you feel like you have to?
We break down the mindset shift needed for content creation to build long-term authority, examine the trap of going viral with lazy recipe videos, and explain how to use audience data to grow your fitness coaching brand.
Plus, we look at advanced lifting metrics, explaining how performance testing protocols (like the counter-movement jump) dictate programming choices for athletes.

In this week’s episode of the Push Pull Legs Podcast, Dan and Tom tackle the ultimate gym business summer survival guide.
As the UK heatwaves hit, we reveal how elite online coaches and personal trainers can maximise client retention, level up their coaching programs, and out-skill the competition during the quieter... DULL summer months.
We chat about the controversy surrounding the Enhanced Games, the reality of MAYBE ..." doping" in professional sports, and why every fitness enthusiast needs to understand the science of plyometrics.

In this week’s episode of the Push Pull Legs Podcast, hosts Dan and Tom dive deep into why the "f*** around and find out" method might actually be the absolute best way of learning lifting techniques, mastering gym equipment, and building a successful business.
We’re breaking down the physics of the landmine press, how to optimise coaching sheets without being a lazy online coach, and why real-world personal trainers need to start problem-solving instead of just copying YouTube videos.
Plus, Tom loses his mind over the Apple Magic Mouse design, we rant about psychopaths who use external trackpads, and we brutally critique a pro chef's ranking of 31 Tesco meal deal sandwiches.

This week, Tom and Dan are back with a "heavy-hitting episode" that blends high-level coaching strategy with a healthy dose of "grinds my gears."
We delve into the 1.3 million people who applied for the London Marathon and why that is a massive, untapped goldmine for online coaches.
If you aren’t learning about gait, thresholds, and respiratory systems, you’re leaving money on the table.
We also take a flamethrower to the content styles that need to die in 2026—from the "Corporate Man" niche call-outs to the laziness of recipe reaction reels.

This week, Dan tries to manage a lingering cough while Tom enters the circle of hell known as London house hunting.
From useless estate agents to the controversial "gravy crumpet" video that’s dividing the internet, we cover the weird and the wonderful before diving into the serious business of coaching.
Tom breaks down the rise of "Runna" culture explaining why an app will never replace a coach who understands lactate thresholds and heart rate zones, and how you can program for running without a formal "qualification.
Then, Dan goes on a massive rant about personal branding after a call with a coach who was told not to share their life.
We call out the "James Smith advice" that’s leaving PTs with 50k followers and zero clients.

Stop selling sets and reps, start selling the future. In this episode, we’re going into the psychology of fitness sales for personal trainers and online coaches.
If you’ve ever wondered why your "bespoke plans" aren't converting, it’s likely because you’re missing the emotional "why" behind the weight loss.
We also get tactical on injury rehab, discussing a niche 12-week knee program that’s changing the game, and why internal hip rotation is the missing link for your golf swing (and your squats).
Of course... You guessed it... We’re ranking the world’s most popular pastries, debating the best food in Mexico, and calling out the "lazy" coaching cues like "engage your core" that mean absolutely nothing to your clients.

From biscuit power rankings to the "death" of critical thinking in fitness, we go into why most coaches are being "spoon-fed" education and how to actually build your own training system through curiosity and lead-magnet "rabbit holes."
We also tackle the massive anxiety of gym vlogging, explaining why doing the "extraordinary" is the entry price for a successful brand.
Plus, we break down why standardised S&C tests often fail the general population and how to regress your testing for the client in front of you.

Can you build a world-class coaching business while the world is literally (or figuratively) on fire?
We’re stripping back the "influencer" facade to talk about what moves the needle for online coaches and personal trainers.
We go into the Dubai hype, calling out the "war zone" updates and the predatory marketing tactics used by business mentors during a crisis... god...
If you’re looking to grow your fitness YouTube channel, we share real-time data on YouTube Shorts vs. Long Form and why "front-loading" your value is a way to keep retention high.
Plus, we tackle the massive misconception that online coaching is different from in-person PT

Personal Trainer & Online Coaches... listen and watch...
In this episode of the Push Pull Legs Podcast, Dan and Tom dive deep into the state of the fitness industry, specifically why so many running coaches and fitness professionals are failing their clients with pretty poor strength training.
We discuss the "GPP" (General Physical Preparation) gap and why lifting heavy tin is non-negotiable for athletes... even if you’re just a hobbyist hitting the gym to get fit.
We also tackle the "Melt Phone Culture" at live events and a very serious debate on the best way to cook a potato (spoiler: Fondant vs. Dauphinoise is a heated battle).
If you want to build a successful online coaching business, you need to stop parroting influencers and start developing critical thinking.
We talk about finding your niche, holding a strong coaching belief, and why "it depends" is often just an excuse for not having a plan.

Is it actually harder to sign online coaching clients right now, or is it just you?
In this week’s episode of the Push Pull Legs podcast, Dan and Tom dive deep into the shifting landscape of the fitness industry.
We discuss the noticeable "quietness" in commercial gyms this January and February, and why Instagram isn't yielding the same results for personal trainers anymore.
The "YouTube Thesis" explains why long-form video is the better tool for building authority, trust, and a community that actually buys.
Plus, we explore the rise of Hyrox and community-based fitness as an antidote to "Instagram burnout" and a struggling political/economic climate.
What we cover:
The Content Shift: Why YouTube and Email are beating the Instagram algorithm in 2026.

Are you just a "Level 3 PT" or are you actually a coach?
In this episode of the Push Pull Legs Podcast, we dive deep into the widening gap in coach education and why simply "doing the basics" isn't enough if you lack a punch of passion
I'm going to QUICKLY break down the plyometric continuum, moving beyond basic jumps to explain eccentric absorption and shock methods for better athlete performance... or just a it of understanding.
I'm also discussing core exercises and ab training that actually work, explaining why you need to ditch the Russian twists... the most hateful exercise in my life.
Stick around for "Vision Boards" & low-calorie Halo Top alternative.

Raw, unfiltered.
This week, we break down the reality of aggressive fat loss phases on 1600 calories and the stress of tracking scale weight. Tom shares his return to the commercial gym scene (PureGym), ranting about gym Smells... and why lifting gloves need to go.
We also drop a controversial take on Hyrox training, debating whether exercises like the "Shooter" and Burpee Broad Jumps are elite fitness or just "Adult PE."
Plus, we discuss the explosion of AI tools for online coaches, from terrible AI avatars to content scraping—and whether they help or hurt your fitness business.
Finally, we settle the debate on the top 3 condiments for life.

In this episode of the Push Pull Legs podcast, Dami and Tom Hall dive into a world of nostalgia, discussing their favourite crisps from childhood to today's high-brow flavours. The conversation gets surprisingly detailed, covering everything from classic Walkers variety packs to underrated French Fries and knick-knacks. They then pivot to a different kind of snack—the success of Alex Hormozi's world-record-breaking book launch. Dami breaks down the incredible numbers, contrasting Hormozi's intense, multi-platform promotional strategy with the hesitation many coaches have about promoting their own launches. This segment serves as a powerful lesson on the sheer volume of work required to achieve a world-record-level launch.

This week, Dan shares epic stories from his African safari adventure (spoiler: elephants are cooler than you think!) while dropping some surprising insights that'll make you rethink your coaching approach.
Meanwhile, Tom's diving into the YouTube game and doesn't hold back about the editing struggles that'll have every content-creating coach nodding along.
The guys get into some no-BS talk about athlete training, why most coaches put exercises in the wrong order, and how to tell clients they're not squatting deep enough without losing them.
Perfect for personal trainers and online coaches who want to level up their business while actually enjoying the journey.
Whether you're crushing it as a PT or building your online fitness empire, this episode's got the goods – all delivered with the guys' trademark banter and zero corporate fluff. ---

You read that correct... no typos here?!

3... probably more... tips for coaches to focus on their businesses and themselves in the "quieter" summer months
& running... wtf should you be focussing on
What do... a relatively new online coach and and old man... do to create their content

The talk about toms triathlon "mistakes"
And what in our coaching career have we.... flopped on... and changed?
Hola friends, we are back! we discuss, contrast training in phase 2 of the combine and the bombardment of cold outreach that seems to be happening currently
dan.. won golf... lets move on
We get a little bit enraged over the classic 7-8 exercises... of the same muscle group... in one session
and we breakdown how tom analyzes a hyrox event/time and dan looks at business onboarding
This has come out slightly late...
before the boys had some fun in dubai, we ranked some breakfast items and discussed hinge exercise order...
(im sure there is some coach cam in there aswell)
What is involved in the COMBINE refresh... MAY 1st we close our doors dan... is now winning the LIKES contest... And we discuss SHOWING... over Telling your audience on IG

There are some interesting things that... well... we get asked to do by clients
LOL
but we thought we would list... and just understand what the expectation of a mentor and a coach IS... and what it ISNT...
To get the best out of either of us, we have to work to some guidelines..
WHY do mini bands... kind of suck?
What should you be posting on your IG story?
Did we get anxiety over IG comments?
