Fitness behind the filter: Recent Episodes
Hayley Irwin
A raw insight into the lives of fitness professionals, away from the perfection displayed across social media.
In this episode with Nadia (@nozkeane) we talk about her move to the UK 10 years ago and how her life has changed as a result. She found the gym, grew mental strength and resilience, underwent therapy to address issues she was both aware and not aware of. We also discuss how following her heart has ultimately led to her to being in the happiest and healthiest place in her life thus far.
In this episode I talk to Ally about his views on mental health, well-being and understanding himself and the ways he thinks. I found this conversation so interesting; Ally and I have very different experiences and opinions, so this was such an eye opening conversation, and I hope you think so too!
In this episode I talk to Tom - best known as TMCYCLES - about his journey with mental health. We chat about the things he does that keeps his head in check, and how this side of him will be enhanced moving away from bodybuilding as he establishes his new business venture: FLOW.
Hey guys!
Welcome to the new 'series' of the podcast: mindset mondays.
I want to start each week addressing a topic that is going to help us better our lives in the following days. Maybe it's something that helps us to realise what we need to do, be or achieve; maybe it is going to help us to stop self-sabotaging or stop us panicking about upcoming events. If you've got a topic that you would like to be discussed, please let me know.
Lots of love,

Wow, this was a big one for me guys and girls. It look a lot for my mum to open up about this as it's something that she - understandably - finds very difficult to talk and think about, let alone share.
So, I'd like to thank my wonderful mum for not only giving me the time on this podcast, but for everything she has done (and still does) for me in life more generally.
In this episode I speak to the lovely @__georgiefit about her decision to move from a lifestyle approach to being a competitive bodybuilder and what she's learned along the way. We talk over her decision to move coach, how the approaches differ and what she has sacrificed to get where she is today.
In this episode we talk all things HA recovery as the lovely Lauren Wall delves into her journey competing, and how it's impacted her menstrual cycle. She is now taking the brave steps of getting it back, and she discusses some of the symptoms she has now in comparison to the symptoms she was displaying previously. This is a really authentic anecdotal insight to HA, and if you've been waiting for a sign to get your cycle back: this is it.
Happy Friday guys! Today's episode is with the lovely Brandon Hepburn; we talk about his early life, moving to London (and how that changed him as a person), his decision to move abroad and how that has impacted him. It's an episode that's full of loads of interesting bits and pieces. So, listen up and let us know your thoughts.
In this episode Ally and I discuss all things prep: the impacts on his coaching, relationships and life. We also touch on how he got into bodybuilding, his decision not to compete and when he decided to go assisted.
Find him @allyburdge_vwphysique.
OK so this week's episode is a little bit of a ramble. I just got so into these questions as I felt SO passionately about it. So please excuse my splutters, I just want you all to realise how frickin' amazing you are.
Guys! This is such a good episode! I'm so excited to bring this to you. We talk about learning to love your body after years of hating it, why you don't look the same as the bikini pro you've been training for just as long as and some of the toxic traits you need to look out for in relationships.
In this episode I chat to Antonia about how she got into competing, her decision to move away from it and where she's at today.
In this episode I talk to Abby about how she has transitioned away from the life she documented on @gains4girls, and how life is with her now.
Hello lovelies; apologies that I totally went MIA over the last few months. But here I am: back, better and excited for a new year of podcasting!
Hello! And Thank you for tuning in to another epsiode.
This time around we cover a few topics that have been asked recently in my 'questions box' on instagram (@hayleyirwincoaching FYI).
We cover why I changed coaches, how I'm coping with lockdown 2.0, friendships, surgery and mental health.
Sit back, relax and enjoy :)
Hello lovelies; I hope we're all holding up okay in lockdown 2.0.
I just wanted to get a short, solo episode out today. I think it's very easy to talk about this topic in great detail, but for now, I just want to get it across to you in a concise way.
I hope you enjoy it. As ever, if you do, please share it on your instagram/facebook/whatsapp groups!
Lots of love x
In this episode I chat to Lucy about what she learned in her dissertation at uni, and how her own struggles have been influenced.
This week I had the pleasure of interviewing my good friend Pauly B.
He talks us through his story and the impact of emotional abuse, substance addiction, depression and anxiety has on his every day life.
He has well and truly turned his life around, and it's been amazing to see.
For any coaching/personal training enquiries, please find Pauly on instagram @paulybpt.
In this episode I had the pleasure of interviewing my best friend, Bea. We talk all things relationships, boob jobs, competing, off season and family struggles.
I hope you enjoy it x
I asked you on instagram for some questions; and here are the answers! We talk all things relationships, making time for what's important, Hormonal Amenorrhea and why I decided to get a dog! I hope you enjoy x
Hey guys!
Thanks for tuning in to another episode of 'Fitness Behind the Filter', this week I had the pleasure of interviewing George Osborne.
We talk about making money from youtube, what it's like to prep as a natural bodybuilder, whether you should date someone in the same industry as you and the downside of documenting your life on social media.
Hope you enjoy x
So, everyone harks on that 'consistency is key', but no one explains WHY that is and HOW to become that way. So, here's my endeavour to do just that. Learn why being consistent is so important, and what you need to do to become that way.
This is a little introduction to myself, about my journey. The aim of my podcast is to show transparency, so, I thought I'd better lead from the front and go in head first.
