THE FYX with Krysta Huber: Recent Episodes
Krysta Huber
Link up with host Krysta Huber as she lays it ALL out on the mic. Her episodes cover all things fitness, nutrition, love, loss, personal and professional relationships, entrepreneurship, being a damn millennial, and embracing that stereotype. Fill your coffee cup, sip away, and get your FYX of Coach Krysta on her podcast.
Let's talk about communication--an art and skill that these days, in a world of technology and social media--seems to be lost a bit. When's the last time you got really present in a conversation? Without your phone, without distraction? Communication is a key component of our health and wellness because it influences the quality of our relationships, and our relationships have a direct impact on our health. Are you confident and consistent in speaking up and speaking your mind? In this episode, Coach Krysta dissects how communication plays a role in all of our relationships--both personal and professional. She shares her perspective on communicating with clients as a coach, and how to ask better, open-ended questions. Krysta also talks about the impact of effective communication on behavior change and relationship dynamics, especially when it comes to social settings where clients want to exercise authority over choosing meal options and restaurants that actually fit within their goals vs. going with the flow.

How often do you catch yourself believing, "I'll just be happy when," followed by some goal of losing a certain amount of weight, changing careers, getting into a new relationship, insert any change you desire in your life? What if the real secret to happiness is choosing it in the moment? In this episode, Coach Krysta breaks down how to actually choose happiness for yourself vs. living by these rules we've made up based on beliefs we've likely held true since childhood. Krysta discusses:
- Why she's personally exploring new hobbies and adding new activities into her daily routine
- Why it's important to see happiness as a choice
- What it actually means to fall in love with the process
- The importance of participating in activities for the fun of it all vs. for accomplishing a goal
- How habits stick when we focus on our identities vs. the actions alone

When’s the last time you did something to intentionally make yourself uncomfortable? Coach Krysta is reflecting on her first experience at the HYROX race in New York City for this week's solo episode. She dives into the idea of discomfort, and why it's important to choose hard things. In this episode, she discusses:
- the exact race breakdown: 8 functional movements stations and nearly 5 miles of running
- the mental aspect of getting through it and battling the heat that afternoon
- the appreciation for being able to move our bodies and test our limits
- the growth she's able to recognize along her own journey both physically and mentally

We put so much emphasis on seeing the scale go down, our clothes fitting better, inches lost from our waists, changes to our progress pictures, that we skip over maintenance as a win. When was the last time you CELEBRATED the scale NOT moving? Probably never--yet, the whole reason you're looking to lose weight in the first place? It's because you HAVE NOT successfully maintained your weight. In this week's solo episode, we're changing that narrative. Coach Krysta (joined by her sidekick, Bean) is breaking down exactly why it's important to applaud maintenanc periods along your fat loss journey.
As busy, high achieiving women, it's natural for us to always want more for ourselves. But there's growth in acknowledging NO movement on the scale during busy seasons. With the summer season upon us: more social events, travel, and situations that simply make weight loss a little bit harder, there's no better time to learn how to maintain your weight. Make this the summer you learn to navigate a busy social calendar, while feeling confident on the beach and by the pool. Summer isn't synonymous with putting your fat loss goals on the backburner until fall--if you work with The Fitness FYX to take the guesswork out of what and how to eat, that is.

- How to work through getting your identity wrapped up in your career vs. who you are as an individual
- Why group fitness classes are failing women when it comes to losing body fat: it's your nutrition approach, not the classes themselves
- How to simplify food tracking by pre-planning your meals
- How to navigate a fun social life while balancing your fat loss goals

We’re back with another conversation between two nutrition coaches who just get it—we want real, lasting fat loss for real people, or as our guest today says, for people who want to do cool sh*t in life. Coach Krysta is joined by Meryl Binder, founder of Wicked Iron Strength.
Meryl is a coach, competitive powerlifter, volleyball player, military spouse, and dog mom. She has over 10 years of coaching experience working with athletes, military, and hard working humans. Her coaching focuses on strength, nutrition, & mindset and behavior change. She works with her clients to make fitness and nutrition work for them and with them as part of their life so they can happily live a life that feels whole, empowering, and ever-evolving.
She supports others in building their strongest body AND their strongest minds because she believes that THIS is where the coolest shit happens. There are so many parallels in life and she aims to help her clients connect them so they can feel empowered and grow their confidence as a whole.
Meryl fell into the fitness industry after an unexpected pivot in life and truly can’t picture it any other way. She has found her passion and she continues to push and pursue growth. She lives and breathes her message every day and is building a compassionate coaching business that is client centered and impact driven.
In this episode, Krysta and Meryl discuss:

Meryl’s own experience navigating various diet approaches and training programs
-

May is here which means Coach Krysta's birthday month has arrived and we're closing out our list of 30 lessons from our 20s that we're carrying into the next decade with 10 final lessons. That also means we're just days away from kicking off our 30 Days to Thriving program, and time is running out to reserve your spot. Enrollment ends on May 3rd, and we start Monday, May 6. Click HERE to reserve your spot while you still can (link for here: https://thriving.thefitnessfyx.com/signup)
In this episode Coach Krysta talks about:
- the difference between knowing what you need to do vs. actually executing on it
- everything happening exactly as it should have to get you right to where you are in this moment today
- the longer you wait, the harder it's going to be--and the fact that there's never a perfect time to get started on your fat loss journey, so you might as well start today
- anxiety stemming from indecision and lack of action--making the choice, even if it scares you or you feel like you don't know what you're doing will calm those nerves
- fitting your fitness and nutrition into your life, not the other way around
- removing the expectation that you should be good at something you've never done before
- unpopular opinion: how you do 1 thing is NOT how you do everything--it's okay to have different priorities
- the power in letting go: your desire to control the outcome could be exactly what's blocking you from the outcome

Coach Krysta has a milestone birthday coming up in May, so we're celebrating with some reflection: 30 lessons she's learned in her 20s, as we say goodbye to one decade and hello to the next one. We're revealing the first 7 lessons in this episode, and sharing one per day over on her Instagram page, so be sure to follow along there too if you're not already. And stay tuned for an exciting announcement over the next two weeks for a new opportunity to work with The Fitness FYX.
In this episode, Krysta walks us back through lessons she's learned and even shared on previous podcast episodes including:
- the importance of setting boundaries
- recognizing that no one takes care of you better than you take care of you
- the realization that you create your own reality and are responsible for your own emotions
- the power in celebrating the small wins every single day
- learning that what worked for your 22-year-old body isn't going to work for your 30, 40, or 50-year-old body and that's OKAY
- resolving issues right away--there's never a perfect time, why continue to push off weight loss, hard conversations, big life decisions? Your gut is telling you something: lean into it
- learning how to check in with yourself about relationships with one question, "Do I feel like my best self around this person?"

We're welcoming the month of April with fellow nutrition coach and podcaster, Adam Badger. Adam works with his clients to create a values-based approach inside of their fitness journeys. If you're someone who feels like they're constantly stopping and starting, unreliably leaning on motivation to get going, and may be disconnected from your bigger why, then this episode is for you.
In this episode Krysta and Adam discuss:
- How life transitions test our consistency in our fitness routines, and how a flexible approach and mindset is the key to continuing to make progress along your fat loss journey
- The power of external accountability: from hiring a nutrition coach to remembering that your kids are looking up to you as an example, too
- Leaning into the emotional, inner child work as a way to see even greater, lasting success with your fat loss results--no matter what life throws your way

Let's talk about relationships, shall we? They're so important -- personal, professional, romantic relationships, friendships -- they're literally the fabric of our lives. And in our world of healthy living, relationships are at the absolute center of our health. Coach Krysta is joined by friend and fellow nutritionist, Paige Marx, Founder of The Shred Society to share their experiences on the relationships in each of their lives. This episode is a reminder to us all that:
- it's completely okay to not always have a plan
- there's power in being present, in being where your feet are
- nothing in life is permanent, nor does it HAVE to be
- healing, like fat loss, is not a linear journey

We're taking last week's conversation on healing and kicking it up a notch this week with female embodiment expert Alexis Artin. Alexis is a licensed growth coach, master embodiment teacher, and co-founder of Soulsway--a movement practice that connects the body, mind, heart, and soul. Using mind-body practices for both personal and professional transformation, Alexis supports women in aligning their inner and outer selves--toward their truest goals.
In this episode, Krysta and Alexis discuss:
- Alexis's philosophy called the soul body paradox, which explores the partnership between the soul and the body
- The necessity of self-care--it's as important as brushing your teeth
- The importance of establishing your values, and ensuring that you're living a life that is in fact aligned with what you hold to be most important to you (Check out Dr. John Demartini's values assessment that Alexis recommends as a helpful tool HERE)
- How sexuality plays into a woman's relationship with herself
- The difference between simply managing vs. actually advocating for the life you desire

- the pros and cons of group fitness classes when it comes to reaching your physique goals
- why it’s important to always maintain clarity around the goals you have for yourself, and understand that it’s okay for those goals to change, too

- what it means to live in the messy middle

Coach Krysta is completely flipping her perspective this week with the question of, "What if you stayed stuck?" We spend so much time focusing on what we CAN do to change, what we SHOULD do when it comes to our goals of losing weight, but rarely do we talk about the option of actually staying the same. As we head into a new month and are hitting that timeline of about 12 weeks until summer, the messaging you might expect from many fitness coaches will likely sound like...
"If you start now, you can achieve amazing results for your physique and your health in time for summer."
"12 weeks is the perfect amount of time for you to go into a calore deficit."
While true, what if the perspective you actually needed to finally lose the weight for good was to picture what it might be like if you stayed exactly where you are right now? Tune into this episode for Coach Krysta's take on exactly that.

You've heard the advice before: "Don't let the weekends be your WEAK end." But that advice is a little bit nonspecific, isn't it? We can all agree that with a busy social life--and simply wanting to have a social life, period--there can often be competing factors when it comes to enjoying ourselves and reaching our goals. So, in keeping it as real as we always do on The FYX, in this episode, Coach Krysta breaks down exactly how YOU can create the structure required to reach your goals while also living your best life--every. single. weekend. We're delivering the exact tips we share with all of our 1:1 Fitness FYX nutrition clients in navigating meals out without losing progress.
In this episode, Coach Krysta discusses:
- How helpful it can be to remove the pressure of specific timelines around reaching your fat loss goals
- How to break down your food options during meals out to actually understand where they fit into the rest of your day
- The importance of controlling what you can control: in this case, stressing less about the meal out and focusing more on every other meal you're actually preparing yourself
- How frequent is TOO frequent with ordering takeout and going out to eat when it comes to your fat loss goals

Coach Krysta has a quick, hot take for you all this week -- and that's on finding inspiration when it feels like there's no inspiration. Opening up about the pressure she creates for herself when it comes to creating content, and putting out an uplifting or unique perspective each week via her podcast, email newsletter, and on IG, Krysta draws the content-making parallel into what we all experience along our fitness journeys--the peaks and valleys. Some weeks, we feel ready to roll and excited to train, and other weeks, our meal prep feels like a massive chore. But the good news is? It's all perfect. And when we can accept that those ups and downs are to be expected, that's where we find the magic of actually staying consistent. It's not always glamorous, and it's not always sexy. But when we're busy, it doesn't serve us to believe that everything has to be done a certain way--or not done at all.

We've got our Super Bowl recap in today's solo episode with Coach Krysta and no, it's not about the commercials, Travis and Taylor Swift, or the actual game itself--it's all about the food. It's easy to lean on the explanation that it's "just one day," and we're usually on board with that argument for holiday eats when it comes to coaching our Fitness FYX nutrition clients. But Coach Krysta is playing a little devil's advocate this week and asking the listeners to go deeper: it might be just one day, but it's also a really clear indicator of your relationship with food. You're either Person A or Person B:
Person A: Walked away from the party feeling stuffed, guilty, and glad you wore some looser fitting jeans
Person B: Proud of the fact that you went about your choices as if it were any other day of the week, focusing on what would make you FEEL your absolute best
Ultimately, we're all looking to become person B. How do we do that? What do we need to consider? Tune in to this episode for those exact answers.

Coach Krysta sits down with fellow nutrition coach and longtime friend, Sam Wallace, in this episode that--in true FYX fashion--serves up nothing other than real, authentic, and truly applicable advice on what it actually takes to lose body fat and keep it off for good. Sam is the founder of Sam Wallace Fitness, which she runs alongside Registered Dietitian Nina Escobedo. Sam and Nina support their clients in creating a fit lifestyle that doesn't ask you to give up your inner foodie. Sounds a lot like our philosophy over at The Fitness FYX, so of course, we had to podcast about it.
In this episode Krysta and Sam discuss:
- Sam's personal fitness journey from growing up as a dancer into the world of bodybuilding: and how her relationship with food was tested through her experience competing on stage
- How Sam used food and nourishment to heal her body from the inside out: battling a range of health issues from food allergies to endometriosis
- How Sam's own struggle became her inspiration to help what is now the Sam Wallace Fitness Community
- Why habits and behaviors will always win when it comes to fat loss
- Practical tips for managing your social life and going out to eat while still pursuing your fat loss goals
- The importance of learning how to NOT diet and navigating an intuitive eating approach after you've lost weight--so that you can truly keep it off, for good

Coach Krysta is joined by ex-NFLer turned yogi, Eben Britton is today's episode that can be summed up best in one word: enlightening. Eben takes us along his journey through the chaos of an alcoholic family, into his career as a professional football player and ultimately, how his lack of purpose post-sports led him back to himself, specifically his relationship with himself--a relationship that most of us neglect as we move through our lives. With the support of the Al-Anon 12 step program, yoga, and meditation, Eb found himself, found his path, and his purpose: now paving the way for the rest of us to do the same. Eb's story--and his work and message today--show us the power that comes with finding stillness and looking inward. Eb walks us through a style of meditation called open focus, which Coach Krysta has already seen immediate benefits from in her own regular practice of it. If you're someone who hasn't always found meditation to be accessible, this episode will completely transform your perspective.
In this episode, we discuss:
- the power of open focus meditation
- understanding our bodies' natural wiring around fight, flight, and freeze
- what it really means to find stillness and concentration
- the expansion that comes with truly listening--and what it means to really listen to others around you
- the perfection inside of the struggle
- the beautiful mindset we have the ability to cultivate around challenging experiences--seeing them as events and situations we needed to go through to arrive to our reality today

It's been a minute since Coach Krysta has hit the mic solo, so we're on this week with some updates on her own health and fitness goals for 2024. In her final solo episode of 2023, Krysta opened up about her struggle to priortize her fitness while growing The Fitness FYX community over the course of 2023, and discussed how the experience has helped her understand what it looks like to give yourself grace, and how to be realistic about juggling so many competing priorities at once. With that in mind, she's sharing her big focus for 2024: her relationship with HERSELF.
In this episode, Krysta talks about why having a coach is such a valuable tool, and how hiring a new type of coach to support her journey in 2024 is all about walking the walking, not just talking the talk -- that is, recommitting to boundaries and rebranding selfishness as an act of true self-care. The Fitness FYX is on a mission to show women that putting themselves first is the exact mindset that will make them the best moms, partners, daughters, sisters, and friends they aspire to be. And as the brand's founder, Krysta is committing to embodying that message in her own personal life in 2024.
Krysta shares her top intentions for 2024 which include:
- being more mindful and present with daily activities, even the smallest of tasks like cleaning dishes
- finding hobbies outside of fitness, like spending more time intentionally enjoying activities like cooking and experimenting with new recipes rather than rushing through meals
- establishing an evening routine and cutoff times for work each night
While these intentions may seem simple or even obvious, the goal is exactly that -- mastering the basics and getting really good at the foundation is actually the key to long-term, sustainable fat loss, and weight loss results that actually last. In an effort to hold herself accountable and take you along on this journey, Coach Krysta will be sharing monthly updates as she explores a new relationship with herself in this year.

We have our FIRST ever repeat guest in this episode, where Coach Krysta sits down with her own nutrition coach, Aram Grigorian. Aram is a seasoned, respected coach in the fitness space, and first joined us on The FYX back in July 2021. If you like what you hear in this conversation, be sure to check that one out, too. As you'll quickly catch on, Aram has a no bullisht, no fluff, objective take on all things fitness and nutrition -- this is one of those episodes that will call you out (with love, of course). If you're someone who wonders WHY you continue to choose habits that just aren't serving your desired physique goals, this episode will strip away the excuses and leave you with a clear list of roadblocks to look at to move the needle forward on your health in 2024.
In this episode, Krysta and Aram discuss:
- Krysta's own nutrition roadblocks along her own journey
- The emotional side of nutrition and food, and how our experiences with food is much like that of drugs and alcohol--though too many of us are uncomfortable to make that correlation
- Why eating out (specifically how often we're doing it) can be such a hurdle in losing body fat
- How to get results that truly LAST
- Whether your approach to training is actually working for you: spoiler alert -- you're probably not working as hard in the gym as you think* you are
- Aram's upcoming conference, The Real Coaches Summit -- and why YOU should buy a ticket for it

Looking for a little dose of reality or just a kick in the booty to ring in the New Year? Perfect -- we're serving it up to you in this episode, which is actually a re-run from one of Coach Krysta's close friends, fitness industry peer, and fellow podcast host Courtney Lombardo. Courtney is the founder of Rise Fitness Transformations and Host of The Messy Action Podcast. Coach Krysta joined Courtney on The Messy Action Podcast in November to share some straight up, brutally honest hot takes on the fitness industry and dieting culture.
Our longtime listeners know we keep it real here--and we figured there'd be no better way to kick off 2024 than to bring the heat on what's in and what's out in this new year and new season. If you're looking for the drive to finally make this THE YEAR you make lifelong change, then this episode is one you don't want to miss. Courtney and Krysta discuss some of the "touchier" subjects in the fitness industry such as:
- The whole idea of "balance:" is it achievable or is it bullsh*t? - Ozempic and our opinions as nutrition coaches
- The peaks and valleys in your fitness journey: hint -- it's not always a steady race to losing fat and building muscle
- The habits and mindset genuinely required to see results
- How "participation trophy culture" is creating a new generation of people who aren't willing to put in the work, or are chasing quick fixes

We're keeping things very cool--ice cold, in fact--for our final episode of 2023. This week, Coach Krysta is joined by Stephen Longo, fellow entrepreneur and creator of what is sure to be a FYX fan favorite, Orka Bars.
Orka Bars are a refreshingly cold and creamy, protein packed treat you won’t believe are made from egg whites. The egg white base makes them fluffy and easier to digest, so your body gets the nutrients it needs. Stephen is on a mission to refresh the cold category with this healthier ice cream alternative: Orka Bars are made entirely of real ingredients, no artificial flavors and no GMOs. By volume, bars are made up of low FODMAP ingredients that make it easier to digest and faster for the body to absorb. All bars are packed with 15g of protein, currently come in four flavors – Cookies ‘n’ Cream, Vanilla, Mint and Raspberry. And for our local Jersey listeners out here, Stephen is actually whipping up the bars with his own two hands (and the help of some family and friends), right here in Asbury Park, NJ.
All we're gunna say is, don't count on Orka being hyperlocal for too long. Once you get your hands on one---keep scrolling for the link to place an order--you'll know exactly why we're certain that this brand is on the come up. When Stephen makes it big, we'll be sure to remind him who repped the brand hardest when he first got going (aka, us FYX listeners).
In this episode, Krysta and Stephen discuss:
- Stephen's career path: from Big 4 Accounting Consultant to entrepreneur
- What influenced Stephen's path into entrepreneurship: it's actually more of a gut feeling and curiosity than the upbringing you might expect
- Stephen's first invention before the Orka Bar: a collapsible, tupperware container
- How Stephen's handled career burn out, and navigated a lack of purpose in his first few years out of college--a story that so many of us can relate to
- His love for Klondike Bars as a kid, and how that would ultimately inspire product development for Orka Bar
- Stephen's vision and plans for growth with the ice cream brand
- Why we need a healthy shake up in the freezer section.

We're coming up on one of our last episodes of 2023 and this one is for all of the mamas and parents out there--whether you already have children, are currently trying to conceive, have plans for a family in the future, or have a family member who would like to start a family--there is seriously something in this episode for everyone.
In this episode, Coach Krysta is joined by Dr. Hanisha Patel, a licensed Naturopathic Physician and a leading expert in integrative natural medicine. Dr. Patel graduated from The Ohio State University with a degree in Pharmaceutical Sciences and received her medical education at Bastyr University California in San Diego. She dealt with her own autoimmune and infertility issues and now is extremely passionate about supporting women in optimizing their hormones so they can have a healthy pregnancy and postpartum experience. She shifts the paradigm and focuses on the mama in a world so focused on babies. She wants all women to truly enjoy motherhood. She hopes to support women in truly enjoying motherhood and she believes this can happen when she experiences optimal health. And when mama is healthy, everyone else in the family is happy and healthy as well.
Hanisha and Krysta discuss:
-Understanding endocrine disruptors in our environment: how things like shampoo, and cleaning products may play into fertility
- how our US medical system treats fertility: what's missing, what's working, and what needs to change long term
- the power of blending Eastern and Western medicine
- how Hanisha's cultural upbringing inspires her approach to medical care
- understanding stress on the body and the role it plays in trying to conceive

We are CELEBRATING 3 YEARS OF THE FYX this week--in a really big way. Coach Krysta is ringing in 3 years and over 130 episodes with a solo episode where she reflects on the journey over the past three years, and opens up about her own personal fitness journey in the last 12 months. In this episode, Krysta highlights how important it is to be okay with being a beginner again. She also explains why the idea of balance really isn't possible--namely, when we have certain priorities, some responsibilities just have to take precedence over other--and there's nothing wrong with that. Krysta shares that so many Fitness FYX clients identify with putting themselves last, specifically because they are overloaded with so many other priorities and responsibilities. Krysta challenges the idea of putting yourself last as a "badge of honor," and urges you to consider the following:
- You already have all of the skills and tools you need to be successful in your fat loss routine
- You DO NOT need to completely drop your health and wellness "ball" that you're juggling, rather you can lower its position on the totem poll
- The basics are not only required to achieve fat loss, but mastering them actually makes it easier to commit to a plan for forever
- Why your all-or-nothing mindset is leading you to self-sabotage
- Why your all-or-nothing mindset is convincing you that you're going to fail with your fat loss goal
- How coaching, support, and accountability will guarantee your success
- That it's okay to be afraid of failure, but it's not okay to allow that fear to prevent you from taking action

Coach Krysta sits down with Mindset Coach Annette Weiss to talk all things burn out, finding your purpose in the world, and leading from a place of intentional selfishness in order to be your absolute BEST version of YOU. Growing up in organized religion, spending time as a women’s ministry director, 20+ years of being an entrepreneur, and mentoring new business owners in mindset development, Annette firmly believed that being “selfless” and putting other’s needs before her own was the proper common denominator for her life. In 2021, after the consecutive loss of her two most influential mentors, her parents, she came to the abrupt end of life as she knew it. Little did she know that with her selfless mindset, combined with various life traumas, it would lead to complete burn out. She then put her years of leadership to work and began the exhilarating journey of self-discovery. Today, Annette uses her combined experiences, passion and expertise to teach and equip others how to break their habitual cycles, set personal and/or business goals, and lean into the freedom of living the life they have always dreamed of.
In this episode, Krysta and Annette discuss:
- Why women tend to pour from an empty cup, especially as mom's, and the societal messaging that contributes to that mentality being the "right thing" to do
- How losing both of her parents within less than a year of one another led to Annette's own burn out
- How Annette found herself again--specifically the daily routines and habits she incorporated to create better boundaries in her life. These habits include: waking up early, journaling, and exercise, to name a few
- Annette's willingness to go through what she calls her mental 'filing cabinet' and why you should do the same to face your traumas head-on
- Why doing the DEEP WORK matters and can be so transformative in changing your future, and outlook on life
- Understanding self-care as mindset work, facing your traumas--not just the cold plunges, massages, saunas, and so on...
- Annette's experience having a distinct spirtual moment with God, Universe, Source (what you believe is irrelevant to the work you can do in your life) that completely changed the course of her life
- Annette's experience with writing a book

Coach Krysta is joined by Dr. Mike Bruno, owner of Nav Rehab Chiropractic in Brielle, NJ. Dr. Mike is a licensed chiropractor, athletic trainer and movement specialist. Mike prioritizes the long-term health of his clients while keeping them in the driver's seat with your healthcare decisions. Much like The Fitness FYX, Nav Rehab is all about the balance between longevity and empowerment.
What stood out to us about Mike's philosophy is how much he encourages his patients to stay active throughout the process of working with him. Mike wants his clients learn how to move in a way that is easy-to-understand, and aims to have them leave with the skills, tools, and confidence to fix future problems on their own.
In this episode, Mike and Krysta discuss:
-
Mike's career path from high school athlete to athletic trainer, and ultimately, chiropractor
-
Why it's important for your recovery practices, injury prevention, and injury management to mimic the movements you desire to engage in in every day life and your training
-
How necessary it is to get clear on your goals, especially when you have multiple goals with methods that can compete with one another
-
The benefit to working with a coach, trainer, chiropractor in order to develop an effective game plan that gets you the results you desire as fast and as efficiently as possible
-
Why rehab-style exercises should be enjoyable for clients, in order to maintain consistency

Anyone can TRY to lose weight and change their physique, but not everyone really makes an effort. In this solo episode, Coach Krysta breaks down the difference between WILL power and DO power. In a conversation with The Fitness FYX 1:1 coaching clients, The FYX community discusses:
-
Why will power isn't "enough" to actually change your lifestyle
-
How we define 'DO power' --aka actually following through and executing
-
Why DO power is required in making changes to your lifestyle that will help you lose body fat, and more importantly, keep it off.
-
How both DO power and will power are stronger inside of a community of aligned people, all working toward common goals and supporting one another

Do you really need to learn how much protein to consume in order to lose body fat? Is it just your going out to eat and drinks on the weekends that are preventing you from actually losing the weight, feeling confident in your clothes, and looking good year-round? Not exactly--yet that's what we all fixate on. And by we, I even mean professionals in this industry:
In this solo episode, Coach Krysta shares a recent recording from one of The Fitness FYX 1:1 Tuesday night group coaching calls, where the entire 1:1 client community joins us on Zoom to discuss a different topic every single week. This week's is all about LIFE TRANSITIONS. Think about--what interrupts your ability to consistently hit a protein goal, or regularly get to the gym? It's not the actual fitnes stuff--it's the life stuff: It's moving; it's kids activities; it's your job; it's family obligations; it's dinner with friends. All good things (most of the time, hopefully). Yet, we put all of our energy into the doing of the habits required to get to our weight loss goals. While that's necessary of course, it begs the question: is our mindset centered on the right stuff?
Coach Krysta shares how much she questions this idea when clients tend to fall off or leave the program due to busyness and overwhelm. In reality, that's actually THE BEST time to lean into a coach's support and accountability. Looking for that support in your life? The holiday season is upon us and it's ALWAYS a busy one.

This episode is a replay from a recent interview with Coach Krysta in the hot seat on a fellow nutrition and fitness podcast show, called The Fit Farming Food Mom. Coach Krysta sat down with host Connie Nightingale to share more about her personal fitness and nutrition journey--everything from how Krysta got into coaching, how she personally found macro tracking, and how her relationship to food, working out, and everything in between has shaped The Fitness FYX program into what it is today. As Coach Krysta explains to her clients often: The Fitness FYX coaching method is structured in a way that prevents clients from repeating the "mistakes" that Coach Krysta did. While there aren't truly mistakes along the journey, there are certainly lessons. The biggest one for Coach Krysta personally? Learning how to eat more--with intention.
In this conversation, Krysta and Connie break down:
-
What reverse dieting--a hot diet buzz word--actually is and how it works
-
Why there's power in thoughtfully increasing your calories and focusing on nutrition from a place of abundance, not scarcity
-
How high-intensity bootcamp style classes only afforded Krysta results for so long
-
How Krysta neglected sleep, recovery, and stress management in her early 20s, all while operating on lower-calorie diets
-
How Krysta realized stress was impacting her body negatively
-
What led to a rapid weight gain for Coach Krysta in 2020-2021, and how she's navigated fat loss since
If you'd like to learn more about whether you'd be the right candidate to try reverse dieting, The Fitness FYX has officially lots its newest free resource: our METABOLIC ASSESSMENT takes the guesswork out of whether you should consider eating more vs. eating less. Click HERE to take this short quiz and get access to:
-
A free training on the reverse dieting process with examples of current Fitness FYX clients who have successfully lost the weight and kept it off--with far more freedom around their food choices
-
A complimentary discovery call with Coach Krysta to map out exactly how you can implement this approach without all of the overwhelm

Coach Krysta is back with a similar episode format we ran in July, where we let The FYX listeners in on one of our group coaching calls with The Fitness FYX 1:1 client community. This week, we're diving into the growth mindset. We had a group discussion about how we view our pasts, specificially, how we're the storytellers and creators of the narrative we use to describe something in our rear view.
When it comes fitness and nutrition, Coach Krysta believes that the stories we tell ourselves--the way we view our pasts--keep us from losing the weight we'd like to lose, despite knowing a lot of what it takes to actually make the changes in our lives. Coach Krysta opens up about her personal experiences in the past 4 years, and how she's chosen to rewrite the narrative for herself. Krysta shares more about:
- How she struggled to get back into a fitness routine after taking several months off in 2020 when gyms closed
- The shame she initially felt around trying to navigate her coaching career as someone who'd gained weight in a short time, and stopped working out altogether
- How her mess is now her message
- How much more relatable she feels to clients who struggle with weight loss and to The FYX community
- How The Fitness FYX coaching method has evolved because of Krysta's personal experiences, missteps, lessons, and priorities
Krysta also references a past podcast episode on how to address the F*ck it moments. To listen to that episode: THE FYX 078, from August 2022, CLICK HERE
Want to complete the journal exercise from Dr. Benjamin Hardy that Coach Krysta walks her clients through? Copy the questions below:
- How am I different than I was 24 hours ago?
- What do I know today that I didn’t know yesterday?
- How can I use that information to be better tomorrow?

We're back with this month's edition of Faces of The FYX, featuring client Samantha Riley, who is also a member of The Fitness FYX team as our operations assistant. Sam joined The Fitness FYX program almost one year ago and in that time has completely transformed both physically and mentally. She's dropped more than 20 pounds in less than 10 months, all while intentionally eating more food to support a healthy metabolism, and find the elusive balance eveyone claims to be looking for when it comes to eating healthy, losing weight, and saying yes to foods and drinks that would've previously stalled our progress. In this episode, Krysta and Sam discuss:
- Sam's past dieting attempts, which consisted mostly of restrictive diets and pre-made meals like Nutrisystem
- How The Fitness FYX method has changed Sam's relationship with food--for the better
- Sam's fitness journey from Orange Theory to Crossfit and now strength training in the gym solo
- Why anyone looking to lose fat and build muscle should commit to a program for at least one year
- How Sam is navigating wedding prep: hint -- she started on her weight loss journey early enough that there will be no crash dieting or fear of weight gain in her future

Fall is in full swing with Labor Day Weekend just behind us, and it's time. It's time you made good on the promises you committed to back in early June, just after Memorial Day--you know, when you said you'd revisit your weight loss goals after the summer was over. I somewhat hate to be the one to say this, FYX listener, but the summer is over, and that means you have a decision to make: take action or continue to kick the proverbial can down the road.
In this episode, Coach Krysta provides a blueprint for a few simple habits you can implement in your life to see radical change to your physique--it includes the exact habits that all of The Fitness FYX clients focused on inside of our 1:1 coaching program. To create momentum for the month of September, The Fitness FYX Community is hosting an internal habits-based challenge and you too can be a part. This episode lays out the parameters and also explains why these habits are so impactful when it comes to fat loss. For the rest of the month commit to the following and watch your body--and mindset--begin to transform:
-
Limit meals out to 1-2x per week
-
Cut weekly average alcohol consumption in half
-
Hit your daily protein goal (aim for your bodyweight in grams of protein)
-
Consume at least 80 oz. of water daily
-
Add a 30-min. walk to your routine to increase your daily average steps by at least 2,000
-
Minimum 7 hours sleep or increase your daily average by at least 30 minutes
-
Strength train 4-5 days a week, focusing on a resistance and rep range where the last 2-3 reps are close to failure for each set

Coach Krysta has a short list of fitness and nutrition myths and claims that we're just done with--statements we're tired of hearing, and lies that are still being spread by fad diets and social media. By no means is this episode an exhaustive list, but we asked The Fitness Team, our clients, and our followers to weigh in with the comments and beliefs they're so done with. To name a few covered in the episode:
- "I can’t eat that, I’m on a diet." or "I can’t go out to dinner with friends because I can’t eat anything on the menu"
- Lower calories will get you faster or more dramatic weight loss
- "I’m not making progress because the scale isn't moving."
- "What’s the secret?" There is no secret
- Food tracking food is too time consuming
- You can't drink alcohol if you want to lose weight
- High reps with low weight will get you toned
- Heavier weights will make you bulky
- Bread is bad for you
- You’re not losing weight because of your hormones
- I can’t afford to pay that much (yet they’re going out to dinner 2-3x a week)
- I have no time to workout or meal prep
- I’ll just start again on Monday

In this solo episode, Coach Krysta dives into two fundamental questions around assessing what actually WORKS for us when it comes to the way we exercise--and eat--and how much time we should really put into a certain program before deciding that it is or isn't helping us get closer to our fat loss goals.
Episode Highlights:
- Many clients struggle with deciphering whether the effort they're putting in actually aligns with the results they're seeing. Coach Krysta explores some of the common myths that people rely on to measure the effectiveness of their workouts like how much they sweat, the calorie burn tracked on their Apple Watch, or how much variety they're getting on a weekly basis.
- Effort and focus: Are you at a point in your fitness journey where you've dedicated enough time and energy into exploring just one area, like your nutrition, to confrim that it works for you? We juggle a lot of variables when it comes to our bodies, and are often overwhelmed by trying to manage it all. With The Fitness FYX method, most clients typically start with nutrition. Once we set that foundation, we can then determine what results they may be leaving on the table from their workout routines.
- How do we initiate change? Where do we even begin when we're dissatisfied with our progress? I'll guide you through practical steps--like hiring a coach--to put a plan together that actually gives you the body you want.
- The power of maturity in your fitness journey: When is it actually time to level up? It's not about constantly chasing novelty or the latest fitness trends. It's about consistency and foundational movements.
- The importance of matching methods to goals: Are you tempted to mimic someone else's approach to fitness just because it worked for them? If you want your approach to last, YOU have to take ownership of the process, even under the guidance of a coach.

If you've ever been a regular group fitness goer, you most likely agree that the top selling points of the experience include the energy of sweating with other people, the motivation in a room surrounded by individuals who push themselves to reach their highest potential, and plain and simple--easily making friends who share a common bond for health and wellness. Just about any fitness studio can brag on its community--to the point where it's not so much a selling point as it is a standard practice today. The exception? The Athletic Clubs. NYC's private-member club that's structured to where participants train in squads: upon enrollment, you're assigned a specific group (up to 25 people), a dedicated coach, and 2 set times per week where your squad trains together. This isn't your average drop-in, transactional boutique workout. In this episode, Coach Krysta sits down with The Athletic Clubs' founder, Dane McCarthy. The Athletic Clubs are home to three locations (one of which is on the way in Williamsburg) in New York City. Krysta and Dane discuss: - How the concept of squad training formed and ultimately led to the development of The Athletic Clubs - The otherwise transactional and anoynmous nature of the boutique fitness space - How The Athletic Clubs cultivate community, especially by leveraging technology - What it means to be a community-oriented gym, not another fitness modality - How The Athletic Clubs training mixes well with other workouts To learn more about The Athletic Clubs and to see if you're a fit for a squad, check out the company's IG page @the.athleticclubs Follow each location: @westvillageathletic @greenwichvillageathletic @williamsburgathletic Follow Dane: @mccarthydane

We're taking you behind the scenes into our 1:1 coaching program in this episode, which is actually a recording from one of our recent weekly meetings for the members of our Fitness FYX coaching community. If you want a taste of the exact topics we tackle inside of our coaching program, then this episode is for you. As we kick off a new month, and less than five months left in the year at that, Coach Krysta walks her clients through a goal setting exercise--one that asks them to redefine what healthy means in their lives. This conversation, and the goal setting activity inside of it, encourages you to be more tangible in your approach: focus on the actions you need to take to achieve your desired outcomes like weight loss, muscle gain, and more confidence.
Our clients also highlight:
-
the importance of a supportive community and supportive relationships in achieving their goals
-
the power of education and knowledge acquired in working with a coach
-
the benefit of having flexibility in their nutrition plans and approaches to losing body fat

We're back with a special guest for today's episode: Coach Krysta sits down in-studio with Jude Romano, the Insurance Goat. Jude is the Founder and CEO of The Insurance Goat, an insurance firm based out of Red Bank, NJ. Jude has nearly 20 years experience in finance, having previously worked for JP Morgan Chase. As you will hear in today's conversation, Jude at one point decided he needed more--and wasn't lit up by his work at JP Morgan. After a detour as an exterminator in New York City, the Staten Island native pivoted into the insurance industry and is creating a name and brand for himself out of your typical insurance brokerage. In this episode, Krysta and Jude discuss:
-
the importance of creating your own happiness
-
how to balance your health as a busy entrepreneur, parent, or young professional
-
the grind that most of us don't see when we admiring successful people
-
why we should all pursue our dreams

In this episode, Coach Krysta discusses her personal fitness and nutrition journey, the lessons she has learned along the way, and specifically the top 4 things she would focus on if she had to start over in losing weight and building muscle today:
-
Put more emphasis on recovery: sleep and reducing stress
-
Spend more time learning how to NOT diet—tracking macros from a place of flexibility vs. rigidity
-
Learning to lift heavier more consistently—specifically more time spent on the SAME movements and advancing with progressive overload
-
Enjoy the process—you don’t need to say no to going out to eat, travel. Make some adjustments to your lifestyle but don’t begin this journey with the impression that a complete 180 is required. That never lasts.

Coach Krysta is back with another solo episode where she shares some perspective and realizations from a client check-in this week: specifically, the relationship between fat loss and fun. We spend so much time focusing on reducing stress (and the importance of managing stress) when it comes to finding success and even ease in losing weight. But maybe we're doing ourselves a disservice by focusing on the negative that is stress vs. the positive that is FUN. And fun means more than simply enjoying the process, it means simply living your life, enjoying the company around you, your experiences, expressing gratitude--all in ways that don't necessarily revolve around food choices, drinks, or fitness.
Krysta also shared a post to a recent thread on this same topic:
"Think about something you’re really good at. There are likely two reasons you’re skilled in whatever it is:
-
You ENJOY it.
-
You’ve put in a lot of EFFORT—or at the very least, time.
Feel like you’re “bad” at attempting to lose weight and frustrated because “nothing works?”
-
Find some FUN in the process.
-
Actually put TIME into that process.

Coach Krysta kicks off the month of July with a solo episode where she talks through the importance of learning, education, and knowledge—but also how powerless information is if we don’t DO anything with it. This episode is for you if you’re someone who feels they know a lot about fitness and nutrition—or at least enough that you should be seeing results from your efforts. If you’re not, it’s time examine your behavior. Are you actually putting that information into practice? And are you putting that information into practice REGULARLY?

Coach Krysta is coming at you with a quick solo episode in this podcast on the big E word -- EXCUSES. Why do we have them? Ironically, it's a self-preservation tool to maintain our self-confidence. Yet, they're the very thing stopping you from building more confidence. In this episode, Coach Krysta shares the top 4 excuses she hears from clients and has experienced in her own life when it comes to her fitness and nutrition journey. These include:
-
"I don't have enough time" or "I'm too busy."
-
"I need something that's more efficient or convenient when it comes to my food options."
-
"If I'm not executing on everything perfectly--from my workouts, to my sleep, to my food choices--there's no point in trying to lose weight at all."
-
"Other people's schedules get in the way of my own."
Tune in to hear each reframe Krysta suggests for each of these excuses. And if you need more support, The Fitness FYX Coaching staff is here for YOU. We're currently accepting 1:1 clients into our program. Click HERE to apply.

Today's episode features Coach Krysta in a previous interview with friends, FYX Podcast Guests, and fellow nutrition coaches, Lexi DeYoung and Melissa Ebling. Krysta joined Melissa on their podcast, The Alignment Show, in March 2023 to share her story. With new listeners checking out The FYX Podcast and a recent change in direction in Krysta's business, we wanted to share Krysta's background--and how The Fitness FYX program has evolved into what it is today. In this conversation with Melissa, Krysta shares more about her journey from the corporate world into entrepreneurship and creating her own coaching business, her journey with heartbreak, and finding her true purpose. Krysta also discusses her relationship with food and fitness--and how it's ebbed and flowed over the last years. The number one lesson Krysta's learned? The only outcome we can control in life is how we RESPOND. And fitness and nutrition, specifically how we prioritize them, are included in our response to any situation.

In this episode, Coach Krysta shares her take on weekend behavior--and how it impacts her own fat loss goals, as well as her clients' fat loss goals. Krysta shares a conversation she recently had with a client around our approach to eating on the weekends. Krysta discusses the mentality and perspective that many of us hold around the weekends, specifically the idea that it's our time to relax and unwind. Seeing weekends as synonymous with decompressing quickly turns into weekends stalling our weight loss journies. If that's you, tune into this episode.
Coach Krysta offers solutions to ditch the weekend woes and guilt, one of which includes accountability and guidance through The Fitness FYX coaching program.

Coach Krysta hits the mic solo in this week's episode to share perspective on why the summer is often one of the most challenging seasons to prioritize our fitness and nutrition. If you're someone who's always thought, "There's no sense in dieting over the summer," then this episode is for YOU!
If you're someone who typically waits until the fall to get back into his or her health and fitness routine, heads up: The ONLY outcome you're guaranteeing is the fact that you're giving yourself LESS TIME to get in your best shape, improve your relationship with food, and feel confident in your swimsuit by next summer. You're increasing the chances of NOT losing body fat by next season.
Krysta explains why it's that much more helpful to have the support of a health coach, and a community of individuals cheering you on during the summer months--we're all going out to eat more, and enjoying drinks and ice cream in the summer sun. Krysta shares a few of the specific challenges her current clients faced with food and drink choices over the holiday weekend, and suggestions that The Fitness FYX 1:1 nutrition clients came up with during one of their recent group Zoom calls. We're giving you an inside peek into the exact perspectives we share with our clients inside of our 1:1 program.

Coach Krysta is joined by Mindset Expert Brian Ford, the founder of the Self Improvement Daily podcast, as well as his nonprofit, For Purpose. Using his own transition story from college into "the real world," Brian talks about a pivotal moment in his first job that led to the biggest wake-up call of his life. After a complete career shift from medical device sales into a start up focused on sports tech, Brian was able to truly qualify the power of personal and self development, so much so that he's dedicated his life's work to teaching others to chase their dreams.
In this episode, we discuss:
-
The key elements that most people overlook in their journey of self-development
-
What self-sabotage is and why we're subconsciously wired for it
-
Finding your purpose by taking note of what GIVES you energy vs. what depletes you of it
-
How and why mindset plays such a key role in weight loss and nutrition coaching

We've hit triple digits for The FYX podcast! And of course, we're celebrating in a BIG way. Why? Because we don't celebrate ourselves enough. Coach Krysta is ringing in episode 100 solo, with reflection on what she's learned over the past 100 episodes and the growth of The FYX. In this episode, Krysta draws parallels between growing a podcast and navigating your weight loss journey. We also answer a few listener submitted questions, including:
-
A full day of eating with Coach Krysta (and why she won't ever share exactly what's on every single plate--but her go-to ingredients instead)
-
Krysta's favorite meal of the day: hint--it's breakfast
-
The "best" foods to consume when drinking alcohol
Krysta also shares how perfectionism has held her back in the past, and what she's learned from those experiences, as well as the importance of taking both messy and immediate action. Being decisive is an integral part of success in all areas of our lives. And as for the BIG celebration? We're LAUNCHING a brand NEW program inside of The Fitness FYX coaching services.

Coach Krysta is joined by two incredible women in this episode, fellow fitness and nutrition coaches Lexi De Young and Melissa Ebling. Lexi and Melissa are the co-founders of Alignment Athletics. Through their own fitness journeys, Lexi and Melissa noticed several gaps within the coaching industry – namely a lack of community, education, and health beyond the external “look” of being fit. After moving in together and realizing they were on the same mission to help as many women as possible, the pair created Alignment Athletics – to help women look and feel their best, find their balance, and live with confidence. They wanted to create an unbreakable community where women could feel safe and celebrate one another along the way. Alignment exists to make reaching any woman’s health and fitness goals easy. With all clients, the team focuses on educating around nutrition, training, & their bodies; optimizing health from the inside out; and building an unstoppable mindset to set them up for lifelong success.
In this episode, Krysta, Lexi, and Melissa discuss:
-
What mindful eating actually looks like in real life
-
How to use approaches like food tracking as tools, and understand that our relationships to those tools will ebb and flow
-
Habits to build a better relationship with food and body image like journaling and practicing untracked meals
-
How to keep meal prep simple and less time consuming, yet loaded with flavor (and therefore variety in your meals)
-
Their own journeys with bikini competitions, disordered eating, and gut health issues
-
What it's like to run a business with your best friend
Lexi and Melissa also have an amazing podcast, The Alignment Show, where Coach Krysta was previously a guest. Check out that episode by clicking here

Matt Jennings is the owner and co-founder of TheLIFTGym in Point Pleasant, New Jersey. Matt is an expert in strength training for the adult population, clocking over 30 years of experience in the fitness industry. He is the Founder of The Adult Strength and Conditioning Association and an Adult Strength and Conditioning Specialist.
Matt and his wife, Kathy, partnered up with Coach Krysta and The Fitness FYX team to host an 8-week nutrition challenge inside of their gym this past January. In this episode, Matt and Krysta discuss the importance of aligning your nutrition and training program, and what people really mean when they say, "I want to get toned." This episode is for you if you want to know exactly how to design your training with that goal in mind.
Matt and Krysta also discuss:
- The benefits of small group training and the benefits of personalizing movements to clients’ distinct goals in that small group setting
- The term 'functional fitness' -- and what it actually means, and how that definition has changed over the years for Matt
- How selling his first gym and briefly stepping away from the fitness industry led Matt to realize his passion for helping others—specifically when it comes to their health and wellness
- The importance of using measurable health markers, like muscle mass and body fat percentage from the inBody scan, to better quantify someone’s goals
Make Your Training And Nutrition Fun All Summer Long... Even If You Can’t Stand The Gym And Won’t Give Up Your Margaritas
- How to strength train--WITHOUT getting hurt
- The foolproof, easy metric you can use right now to stop eating too much food

In this episode, Coach Krysta sits down with fellow fitness and nutrition Mallory Marks to talk all things group fitness. Mallory is the owner of Excelerate Athletics, an online health and fitness coaching company that has helped over 600 people ditch diet culture and learn the truth about nutrition and exercise. She has spent time in several different roles as a fitness professional, including in-person personal training, online coaching, and group fitness coaching. After training thousands of individuals over the years, Mallory has seen what works for the masses, what doesn’t, and what current narratives in the health and fitness space are holding people back. Mallory's credentials include NASM CPT, Precision Nutrition L1, and Functional Nutrition and Metabolism Specialization.
Both Krysta and Mallory work with clients who favor boutique fitness studio classes as their preferred fitness routines. Whether these class environments are properly designed to achieve results is often up for debate. The short answer? It depends. The long answer? Listen to the entire episode but here are a few highlights that Krysta and Mallory discuss:
-
Group fitness classes are often marketed to women who are over exercising and under fueling their bodies, making them less optimal workout options for their overall health and goals of getting lean and toned
-
Optimal resistance training requires adequate rest periods between sets while most group fitness classes have little to no rest periods throughout the workout
-
If group fitness keeps you consistent in the gym, it's valuable
-
The amount of variety involved to keep your workouts entertaining may be the exact reason you're not achieiving the body you desire
-
Why carbs should be your friend if you partake in group fitness classes more than 2-3x per week

Rounding out our four-part series from Coach Krysta that highlights each phase of The Fitness FYX methodology. If you're tired of losing and regaining the same 10 to 15 pounds, or spinning your wheels in the kitchen and at the gym with no progress to show for it, then turn your volume up. We're spilling the tea on the FINAL PHASE we walk our 1:1 Fitness FYX clients through to finally lose the weight--and this is the ONE where they KEEP IT OFF, for good.
In this episode, Coach Krysta details her own mistakes in stopping working with a coach as soon as she reached her goal weights in the past. Today, Krysta always maintain her own nutrition coach for her nutrition and fitness because she's learned how that's helped her with accountability and maintaining her results.
We're giving you the exact blueprint that we teach our 1:1 clients to lose body fat, all while spending less time in the kitchen and continuing to enjoy the foods they love. We call phase 4 our FREEDOM phase. In this phase, we teach clients how to:
-
transition out of a calorie deficit without the yo-yo of weight gain
-
actually maintain the weight loss they've worked so hard to lose
-
focus on their habits, and really see how these habits are now a part of their identities: this is the phase they prove to themselves--not just their coach--that they will show up differently for the long haul
-
intentionally not track their food
-
take diet breaks for their mental well being and to maintain a healthy relationship with food
-
see food tracking as a tool that will always be available, but can be more or less important during specific seasons of their lives

Over these four episodes, Krysta breaks down the 4 phases of The Fitness FYX Method. We're giving you the exact blueprint that we teach our 1:1 clients to lose body fat, all while spending less time in the kitchen and continuing to enjoy the foods they love. We call phase 3 our FOCUS phase. In this phase, we teach clients how to:

know when they're actually ready for a calorie deficit
-
prioritize the foods they love, even when we've decreased their calories
-
manage unexpected events where they're unable to plan their meal choices in advance
-
remove judgment from what is considered "a lot" of food vs. "very little" food
-
do the unsexy work: tracking food, hydrating, prioritizing strength training, and getting quality sleep

-
enjoy the foods they assumed would be off limits by simply planning meals in advance

Spring break season is upon us! Travel plans are picking up and the weather is getting warmer. Hints of summer also bring us back to reality when it comes to those weight loss goals we set for ourselves in January. In today's episode, Coach Krysta is bringing you [or maybe BACK to] the basics: food tracking.
We liken food tracking to packing for a trip. Ideally, you wouldn't pack for a trip in the same morning you're catching your flight. So, then, why wait until each morning--or even in the moments right before each meal--to decide what to eat? Coach Krysta likens food tracking to packing your suitcase, and the idea that the more you plan in advance, the more efficient you'll be and the less likely you'll be to forget an item. She also shares a few tips about managing your food choices while traveling.
If you're interested in learning how to track your food, and more specifcially the value behind doing so, then this episode is for YOU.
The Fitness FYX Team is GROWING, which means we're accepting new clients in March before closing off our spring waitlist. Get yourself in the applicant pool by clicking HERE! PS. We offer complimentary nutrition consults and we're about to drop a BRAND NEW product in the next 3 weeks...

80 percent of your thoughts throughout the day are likely negative. You read that right: More of your thoughts are negative than they are positive. So are we fighting an uphill battle in the road to postivity? What should we do when the going gets tough, especially knowing that our minds may gravitate toward the negative outlook? We're closing out February 2023 with an episode on all things self-love.
In this episode, Coach Krysta suggests the following journal prompt to reframe your mindset: Consider the following--
What stories of self limiting beliefs am I telling myself?
What’s preventing you from stepping into the person you want to become?
Krysta discusses how self-limiting beliefs interfere with our success in losing weight, starting a fitness journey, or maintaining our health. She uses examples of negative thoughts from her own life, and evidence of how she actively shifts those thoughts to something more productive.
Rewrite your story with words of affirmation: example — I am committed. I am strong. I am flexible.

Michael Chernow is a Serial Entrepreneur, Restauranteur, Podcast Host and expert in the world of wellness, fitness and nutrition. Most recently, Michael founded and launched Kreatures of Habit, an in-your-face lifestyle and wellness brand, reimagining how you establish healthy habits in your life. After years in the restaurant business in NYC, he realized that his calling was to be of service in a more personal way, with the ability to impact more lives. Honoring his 17 years of sobriety by launching his newest venture, Michael’s goal with KOH was to create easily-accessible nutritional products that are rooted in adopting the positive habits that transformed his life, and allowed him to replace alcohol with the nutrition and fitness he needed.
Michael launched Kreatures of Habit because he wanted to share his belief in habits through his personal story of change, how our habits determine whether we are going to be successful in our personal and professional lives, just get by, or worse, be miserable. He’s a firm believer that every time we replace a bad habit with a good one, big or small, the greater a chance we have to live our best lives.
In this episode, Michael and Coach Krysta discuss:
- Fear: how powerful it is, how great of an equalizer it is, and how much it drives the decisions we make--or don't make--in life
- Finding freedom on the other side of fear
- Using selfishness as a super power
- The power of developing a morning routine--and detail Michael's own morning routine
- Why Michael created Kreatures of Habit and why oatmeal has been such an important pillar of his morning routine
- Habits and controlling the controllables
- Understanding that we all have the ability to make the "right" decision relative to what our goals and desired outcomes are

Coach Krysta is solo in today's episode where we talk all things News Year's Resolutions, but more specifically how to really follow through on the goals we set for ourselves.Here's the tough question: How many more years are you going to be okay with hitting another February 1st and acknowledging that you've failed your New Year's Resolution again? Or maybe, have you reached the point where you've already accepted failure as the outcome--so much so that you didn't set goals for yourself at all?This episode is for you if you're frustrated by the number of plans you've started, only to "fall off the wagon," or regain the weight some months later. The secret sauce? It's honestly not a secret: It's discipline. It's the unsexy stuff. It's self-awareness, and it's also the power that comes with asking for help.We're biased, but we do know someone to turn to for help--you're here listening to her. The Fitness FYX Team is also GROWING, which means we're accepting an influx of new clients in February. Get yourself on the application sheet by clicking here! PS. We offer complimentary nutrition consultsFollow Krysta @thekrystahuberFollow the podcast @thefyx.officialpod--- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/thekrystahuber/message
Happy New Year, FYX listeners! The start of the new year typically brings a renewed focus on weight loss, toning up, building muscle, and improving your health. This episode is for you if you want to make LASTING change. 23% of people quit their New Year's resolution in the first week, which means many already have as of the date of this episode. And less than 40% make it past February.
This is not the podcast for quick fixes. It's the podcast for ACTUAL solutions. So what does Coach Krysta suggest? Start by auditing how you spend your time, and more importantly, who you spend it with. Some questions to consider:
- Are the people you're spending time with supporting you in your growth? Are they supporting you along your pursuit to becoming your best YOU?
- Are there investments you might consider making--like some type of coach--to make your goals that much easier to achieve? The first step towards real change begins with asking for help.
- Are you SO focused on the outcome that you're losing sight of the process? The process is the challenge: it's okay to desire faster results, but we have to be willing to put in the work to get there. When roadblocks come up, how we handle them--specifically, our ability to move forward--influences how much longer it will take to reach our desired results.

This is not your typical "New Year, New You," "Do More," "Be More, "Achieve More," podcast episode just in time for a new calendar year. Instead, with the help of our guest, Lihi Benisty, we invite you, The FYX listeners, to bring space into your life: we invite you to breathe, rest, and literally just be. Lihi is a yoga and meditation instructor, and founding instructor of Open: Open is a mindfulness studio--both in-person in LA, and online through the App Store and Google Play. When you join Open, you enter a place to come to your senses — meditation, music, breathwork, and movement awaken body and mind to bring you to the present moment.
All you need to know about Lihi can be accurately summed up by her Instagram bio, which reads, 'feeler of feelings.' In this episode, we explore the power of emotions, of vulnerability, and how our own mental health challenges have shaped the way we show up in the world--as instructors, as coworkers, as friends, family members--in every role we play in life.
Trigger Warning: We do discuss Lihi's personal experience of assault.
We also discuss:
- How we can grow by intentionally learning to rest
- The benefit, and the struggle, to learning how to fill our rest with SPACE
- The idea that we don't always have to be DOING, that we can just BE
- Letting go of perfectionism, bringing emotion into every day life as we feel and as different emotions arise
- Dropping the armor of strength and being okay with not being okay
- Lihi's upbringing in a Buddhist school in California
- How Lihi began her yoga practice
- What makes Open different from most meditation apps, namely the role music plays on the platform (it's impressive)

Coach Krysta is back with a post-Thanksgiving-week episode and another strong female guest, Katie Rossi Thune. Katie is a fellow health coach and Washington & Lee alum alongside Krysta. Katie is also expecting her first baby, a boy, in just a few months! As many FYX listeners are of the age where they may be starting families of their own, we wanted Katie to share HER pregnancy journey with the audience. And boy did she open up:
We broke down the good, the 'bad,' the myths, mental health woes, fitness routines, and then some. Katie debunked a number of pregnancy "rules," and ultimatley underscored the importance of:
- Listening to your OWN body throughout your pregnancy journey
- The power of understanding that your pregnancy is not like anyone else's
- Exploring your options when it comes to birthing experience and support, whether that be a hospital or a home
- A positive mindset: there's a balance between viewing pregnancy as an injury or illness vs. continuing to push your absolute limits in the gym
- Asking questions and doing research
- Intentionally eating more food throughout pregnancy--and learning how much is 'enough' of that 'more'
We KNOW weight loss is hard. Instead of denying that truth, focus on what you CAN do to make it easier. One option? Hire a coach.

Coach Krysta is back with a solo episode around daily decisions, instant gratification, and the future version of you that you aspire to become. We break down exactly how your daily decisions are preventing you from losing weight, getting fit, and ultimately, leaving you just as 'stuck' as you've always been--if not, more.
Tune in to this episode if you see yourself as someone who:
-
can't get out of their own way when it comes to fitness and nutrition
-
feels confused by all of the different dieting and weight loss plans out there
-
is afraid to ask for help
-
chooses instant gratification over delayed gratification, and subsequently feels guilt for the decision
-

Julie Foucher MD, MS is a four-time CrossFit Games athlete and family physician.

Coach Krysta is laying it on thick this week with a little tough love in her latest solo episode. We took to social media to ask you, our amazing listeners, a question that would ultimately guide this episode. If you missed it, we’re posing it again for reflection: Ask yourself, “What am I giving too much attention?” What are you giving SO much attention that it’s getting in the way of your fitness and nutrition goals? Krysta shares listener submissions to highlight a path out of these situations. She also explains why we separating our lives from our dieting approach is completely sabotaging our chances at success. And she highlights the power of working with a Coach.

Krysta's brother got married this weekend and she is all up in her feels about relationships in today's episode: the good and the bad. In reflecting on the wedding ceremony, Coach Krysta shares her thoughts on how our relationships -- romantic, familial, and professional alike -- either support our growth as individuals, or how they stifle our ability to do so. Krysta specificially talks about how challenging it can be early on in relationships to have the tough conversations -- the conversations that are truly required to determine whether someone else, an environment, a group, etc. is in alignment with our wants and dreams.
Krysta shares her own learnings from previous relationships and poses three questions that might help you in determining if a relationship(s) is in alignment with your health and wellness goals -- both physically and mentally. If you'd like to journal on or consider the questions for your own life, check them out below!
-
PERSONAL VALUES: Am I making time for the activities that are important to my health and wellness in the midst of the responsibilities of this relationship
-
ALIGNMENT OF VALUES: What kind of emphasis or value does this person, these people / this culture / place on physical activity, stress management, and eating healthy, nourishing foods for his / her / their body(ies)? How IMPORTANT is that to THEM?
-
EMOTIONAL HEALTH: Do I feel like my best self when I spend time with this person? Reminder to be careful here: Someone else does not MAKE you happy, anxious, sad, etc. - we should take responsibilty for our own emotions and instead consider whether this person / these people / this relationship adds to our happiness. Or is the time spent with them interfering with it?

In another latest solo episode, Krysta talks about ditching the “all or nothing” and fixed mindset. A recent injury had her rethinking her approach in the gym and choosing between taking 2 weeks off of training vs. getting creative with equipment and bodyweight exercises. The experience is parallel to a lot of what we see when it comes to nutrition -- this episode is for you if:
-
You think there's only one way to approach weight loss
-
You're quick to jump on diet trends just because they've "worked" for other people in your life
-
You're too hard on yourself about having a "bad" summer and are convinced you need to start over now that it's September

In her latest solo episode, Krysta talks about the moments when it feels a lot easier to choose the path that WON’T bring us closer to our goals—what she calls the moments when we say to ourselves, “Fuck it — I’ll eat whatever I want, skip my workout, have that extra glass of wine.” You know those moments we’ve all experienced. Krysta shares WHY these moments happen and how we can reframe them. She reviews the benefits of food tracking and challenges the critics who protest that it can encourage disordered eating patterns. She also reviews the power of planning in advance and how some front-end planning saves you more time and energy in the long run. September is right around the corner--the time of year when plenty of us like to "get back into our routine." Sounds like the perfect time to lean in: we already know weight loss is hard.

We live in a world today where there is so much information at our fingertips--and sometimes that can be overwhelming, especially when it comes to fitness, nutrition, and overall well-being. There is constant bombardment of eat this, drink that, do this workout, try this routine, etc. When you're not seeing results but trying so many different plans, you're understandably left discouraged. So, how do we know what regimen is best for us and will give us long-term sustainable results?
Listen in from a previously recorded episode with Coach Krysta's friend and fellow nutrition coach and podcaster, Dom Fusco. Krysta and Dom break down the biggest reasons why people (us included) struggle with consistency on our health and wellness journeys, why you should focus on making small changes in your lifestyle before anything else, how to hit your health and fitness goals if you are a busy professional, navigating through transition periods in your life, balancing enjoying food and having a social life without letting it throw you off course, what it means to be "healthy," and much more!

Coach Krysta is fresh off a week-long vacation that has her feeling recharged and reflective on how we define what health and wellness really looks like--or "should" look like--in our day-to-day lives. Using her own personal experience, Krysta provides examples of how she approaches nutrition while she's traveling, some of which includes:
-
Clearly defining your specific goals to assess what is and isn't worth it
-
Focusing on food options that are unique to that destination--think, 'the best of' that given city, country, etc.
-
Prioritizing protein early in the day
-
Intentionally tracking your meals for awareness vs. trying to stay within your macronutrient goals
She also discusses how relationships, being present in the moment, and unplugging from the rest of the world in order to decompress are important components in improving your health.

We're taking both a personal and clinical approach to mental health awareness month in this episode with special guest Erica LoPresti. Erica is a family nurse practitioner and founder of Shore Point Healing and Aesthetics in Rumson, New Jersey. Erica completed her Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree in 2002 from William Patterson University. She has since specialized in a number of medical disciplines including: cardiology, internal medicine and surgery, plastic and reconstructive surgery--helping with some of the first successful nerve transplants in the country, functional medicine, and is certified in aesthetics through the American Board of Aesthetic Medicine.
After years of seeing all the disease and devastation that illness causes in hospital settings, Erica sought a higher quality, more therapeutic approach to medicine. She began working for a functional medicine nutritionist where she learned how food and lifestyle function as truly preventative medicine. Erica continues to practice internal medicine and cardiology out of both Robert Wood Johnson Barnabas and Hackensack Meridian health systems at RWJ in New Brunswick, NJ, as well as JFK hospital in Edison, NJ.
The years of clinical and professional experience came full circle in Erica's life when her longtime partner received a life-ending diagnosis of Stage 4 Cancer. Despite the gravity and progressiveness of his diagnosis, he lived for another 7 years under Erica's care, much of which she attributes to the alternative therapies they implemented, including IV drip therapies and mindfulness. The personal and professional experiences combined inspired Erica's practice: Shore Point Healing.
In this episode, we discuss:
-
The power of the mind in keeping the body going
-
How our hustle and grind mentality is negatively impacting our physical and mental health
-
Alternative methods for treating mood disorders like depression and anxiety, outside of traditional medicine
-
NAD and NMN -- and IV cocktails including NAD, better known as 'The Happy Shot'
-
The efficacy of various forms of supplementation--specifically intravenous treatments vs. liposomals vs. capsules
-
Techniques for learning how to meditate
-
The importance of protein in the diet
-
Wellness brands Erica and Krysta both know and love, like Cymbiotika

Why self-care should be so integral to your fitness routine

We've got Coach Krysta in the hot seat for this episode, previously recorded for Ever Forward Radio with Chase Chewning in July of 2021. Listen in as Krysta shares her thoughts on getting unstuck and taking proactive steps toward your health and fitness goals.
Chase and Krysta talk about the negative impacts that social media has had on the fitness industry, and how a low barrier to entry has diluted the quality of fitness professionals out there. If you're a boutique fitness lover, this doesn't mean you should walk away from the class environment. Instead, let's think about personal accountability: When is the last time you've really audited your progress? How is your participation in that specific workout helping you get closer to your goals?
And from the other coaching perpsective: If you're a group fitness instructor, you have a responsibility to your clients to invest in continuing education. What are you doing [or not doing] to both improve the client's in-studio experience and to help them see measurable results?
In this episode, we discuss:
-
The difference between results-oriented training and training for general health purposes.
-
Defining your fitness 'WHY': Are you just moving, or are you there to get results?
-
Why it's important to speak up to your trainer when you feel stuck in a fitness rut or feel like your results don't match your effort
-
How too much variety might be a limiting factor in reaching your physique and aesthetic goals
-
The value of basics--and why you shouldn't get distracted by all of the bells and whistles of the modern fitness industry
-
More isn't better

In this episode, Coach Krysta is joined by three fellow nutrition and fitness coaches, who are also co-hosts of the Unnamed and Untamed Podcast. Meet Sarah Bishop, Meredith Paci, and Sonia Spil. Together these three incredible women bring their lived experiences, perspectives, and hard truths to the mic. Their goal?

We discuss:
-
Scarcity vs. Abundance
-
Developing non-negotiables
-
Identifying our values and what's ACTUALLY important to us
-
Understanding and naming our fears
-
Comparison
-
Instant Gratification

We've got a SOLO episode with Coach Krysta in the spirit of Women's History Month and our goal to highlight badass FYX females all month long. In this episode, Krysta brings personal perspective and context to the 2022 Women's History Month theme--which is appointed each year by the National Women's History Alliance. The 2022 Women's History Month theme is: "Women Providing Healing, Promoting Hope." According to HISTORY, "this theme is "both a tribute to the ceaseless work of caregivers and frontline workers during this ongoing pandemic and also a recognition of the thousands of ways that women of all cultures have provided both healing and hope throughout history.'"
Krysta details her own healing journey over the past two years and shares some of the tools, resources, and support that has helped [and continues to help] in her growth and self development. Some of those tools include:
-
The Five Minute Journal
-
Various books including: "How To Survive the Loss of a Love" and "Clarity & Connection"
-
Walking and outdoor walking meditations -- specifically time spent walking along the beach
-
Focusing on small, guaranteed daily wins like aiming for a 10-min yoga practice vs. a full 45-minute flow, or prepping just one homemade meal vs. a "perfect" day of 3 or 4 meals prepped in advance and tracked in a food tracking tool
-
Her responsibilities as a dog mom: studies have shown that walking dogs, as well as patting and talking to them, are positive impacts on a person's parasympathetic neural pathways--aka they support your ability to de-stress.

We're crushing week two of women's history month with another incredible female guest: fellow nutrition and fitness coach, lash artist, and podcaster: Abby O'Sullivan. Abby is on a mission to help women step up and into their own incredible power through health coaching, and truly understand that self-care is healthcare. In this episode, Abby details her entire fitness and wellness journey: a total departure from the lash artist who partied to decompress on the weekends, to a gym newbie who overcame nerves, imposter syndrome, and a lack of self-esteem. And fast forward to present day--a fullblown wellness coach who is mentoring women to take care of their minds, bodies, and spirits.
We tie Abby's own mental and emotional transformation through fitness to the evolution of her coaching business over the past 18 months. We discuss:
-
the challenges of working in the service industry
-
how and why beauty professionals and service professionals become workaholics
-
the importance of operating from a place of alignment
-
why you really need to trust your intuition
-
her experience with relationship coach Lauren Zoeller
-
how a total commitment to self-development naturally reshaped her business
-
dating--the weird and funny stories, and the good guys out there

When Jockey Nik Juarez sat down with Coach Krysta at The Fort Athletic Club for this special episode, we finished the conversation with a quote that Nik lives by: “If you develop a resentment for losing, you’ll develop a winning mentality," - Devon Levesque: serial entrepreneur, philanthropist, and fitness enthusiast.
Off of the racetrack, Nik is a husband, father, and marathon runner. He is an aspiring ultra runner and tri-athlete, but we've got no doubt he'll have his first Ironman on the calendar within the next 12 months. Nik is also a member at The Fort Athletic Club in Oceanport, New Jersey, where Coach Krysta oversees marketing and one of the Club's boutique fitness studios. Nik calls Monmouth Park racetrack, just down the road from The Fort, his official racing home. He grew up in Maryland, and even though he was quite literally born into becoming a jockey, it wasn't until his first year of college that he took a serious interest in it. Nik is a multiple grade stakes winning jockey: he won his very first stakes race in 2015 on a horse he now owns, Valid, at Monmouth Park. In 2017, he won the Grade 2 Black-Eyed Susan Stakes aboard Actress at Pimlico Race Course.
In this episode we discuss:
-
The importance of mindset and having a winning mentality
-
The nuances of horse racing and understanding a jockey's racing strategy
-
What the day-to-day routine looks like for professional jockeys
-
Nik's struggle with his identity when dealing with an injury and the uncertainty of his sport throughout the COVID19 pandemic
-
How Nik and his wife, Melissa, manage a long distance relationship with one baby and a second on the way
-
Nik's resilience in his profession
-
David Goggins' 4 x 4 x 48 Challenge, which Nik will be taking on, beginning at 11 p.m. EST on March 4, 2022.
Nik is competing in the 4 x 4 x 48 to raise funds and awareness for Team Foster, an organization that provides foster animals to retired US veterans, and the Permanently Disabled Jockeys Fund (PDJF), a non-profit that provides financial assistance to thoroughbred and quarter horse jockeys who've sustained catastrophic injuries in racing. If you'd like to donate to Nik's efforts, please visit his GoFundMe page HERE.

How does an adrenaline-loving thrillseeker who loves fast cars, race tracks, and skydiving become the co-founder of a custom pillow company? Meet Susana Saeliu, CEO of Pluto, whose story is exactly that. After experiencing severe neck pain that impaired her ability to race cars, Susana discovered that her pillow wasn't helping situation--and what made it worse? Finding a new, suitable pillow was a challenging shopping experience. Cue Pluto, a company focused on developing solutions that elevate your comfort and sleep space.
Pluto Pillow is the first and only sleep pillow that's custom-built to your body stats, how you sleep, and what you like. The Pluto team leverages data through a proprietary process to help all sleepers take the guesswork out of pillow shopping and to ultimately maximize their sleep. In this episode, Susana joins Coach Krysta to talk about:
- Why pillows are an extremely underrated and overlooked product for improving and enhancing sleep
- How a unique survey of sleep-related questions has changed the pillow shopping game
- Building multiple start-ups -- the secret, says Susana, is really a matter of just getting started
- Why Susana sees driving almost as a form of meditation
- How to own your diverse skillset as a millennial
- The difference between culture and fit within a company
- How to best serve your employees
- Experiencing burn out in your job and how to set better boundaries

We've got a little spin on today's podcast episode with Coach Krysta as the guest of the show. This episode was recorded inside of a Facebook Live with fellow nutrition coaches, Jillian Smith and Jaimie Brewis, who are also co-founders of the Lady Power Moves Project. Jillian and Jaimie are previous guests of The FYX Podcast--check out their interview from Episode 30: Drink [and eat] Your Way Lean this Summer. Jillian and Jaimie invited me into their Lady Power Moves Project 21-Day Challenge as a guest speaker where we weighed in on everyone's favorite debate: cardio vs. resistance training.
In this chat, we break down exactly why resistance training is THE preferred method to fat loss. The lean physique you're chasing? I promise you it's with a pair of dumbbells. Ladies, listen up: it's time to get your a** off of the stairmaster, and your hips under a barbell. You know that booty you want to build? You're literally running away from it with too much cardio.
We outline:
- How to build a weight training program that MATCHES the way you’re eating and your fitness goals
- Why variety [and unfortunately group fitness] may be holding you back from your dream body
- The importance of doing the seemingly boring work, such as focusing on a step goal, getting more sleep, and following a progressive overload with your strength training
- The total mind fuck that is doing less and eating more
- Why you should collect (sleep, digestion, calorie intake, workouts, energy levels) to be able to make BETTER decisions and understand WHY you’re seeing the results that you are with your physique
- Why every workout shouldn't leave you completely exhausted on the floor
Coaching spots in The Fitness FYX formula are still open for the new year. Don't be another failed New Year's Resolution statistic in February.
Reach out for a complimentary consult where we'll talk about navigating the weight room and building you a custom workout plan. We're not here for another bullsh*t solution.

Sinan Ozyemisci is the Coach Liaison for Stronger U, a personalized nutrition coaching program built around you and your specific needs. As a former SU client myself, I can personally attest that this coaching program WORKS--and is one of the best, no-bullshit programs on the market. The SU team is near and dear to The Fitness FYX because it truly inspired the work I do today inside of my own coaching. Sinan holds Masters Degrees in both Applied Clinical Nutrition and Nutritional Sciences--and is a soon-to-be registered dietitian.
In this episode, we discuss motivational interviewing [Sinan's thesis topic] and the role it plays in the coaching space, as well as the power in building both habits and flexible routines. The key word here is flexible: Sinan details his own morning routine to highlight how it has shifted as his schedule has continued to evolve between work and school responsibilities over the last two years.
We also chat about:
-
Assessing someone's readiness to change
-
Decision-making as a two-way street vs. a coach constantly dictating what a client should do
-
How to stay fit while traveling, especially when access to weights and equipment is limited
-
The not-so-sexy stuff: good sleep, getting enough protein, and getting your steps in
-
How to reframe your mindset: moving away from an all-or-nothing attitude and stepping into the power of grace and flexibility

This episode is for you if you feel like you "fall behind" just as quickly as you "get ahead." This episode is for you if you're consistently:
-
Comparing yourself to others vs. celebrating your wins
-
Downplaying your wins, considering them to be too small--or not enough
-
Hanging around people both personally and profressionally who aren't challenging you to be better
This episode will move you in a direction to change all of that--just by paying attention to the voice in your head for a few days. And by asking you to examine the environment in which you live, work, and play: is that environment supporting your growth?
If you're like me, you don't typically sit around and ask these questions. Yet, they're important. Start now. Start today. If you don't know how, that's where The Fitness FYX comes in.
Coaching spots in The Fitness FYX formula are still open for the new year. Reach out for a complimentary consult where we'll talk through whatever has repeatedly stopped you from achieving your ideal body at the start of each new year. We're not here for another bullsh*t solution.

If you need a fu*king pep talk, this conversation is for YOU: Go after all of your biggest wants, goals, desires in 2022 with the energy and guidance of Coach Amanda Marit.
Amanda Marit has coached individuals in all walks of life, including celebrities and public figures. Amanda works with her clients to help reframe what leadership is and can be and identify what it takes to be seen as an authority figure in their industry, allowing them to step into their most opulent selves. Amanda began her spiritual awakening and journey to financial independence behind a cubicle. At the time, she maintained the status quo by working a typical nine-to-five job, climbing the corporate ladder. She found the spiritual lessons to be profound and started a blog with the simple intention of inspiring others. Shortly after, she began to dance with the idea of redefining her career and becoming a leader. She began coaching other women in the space of spiritual awakening, leadership, and individual wealth.
By 2017, she left her job of seven years and began coaching full time. This trajectory led her to develop her own Spiritual Coaching Certification, Illuminated, where she now serves both women and men in over ten countries.
In this episode, Krysta and Amanda debunk the "woo-woo" side of spiritual awakenings, alignment, meditation, and manifestation. There's some serious power and truth to these hot buzz words that are flying around social media these days. Amanda's own journey--and her energy--are shining examples. We discuss how the characterisitics of Amanda's successful corporate life weren't translating into her personal, romantic life: attracting the wrong partners, feeling unlovable, and feeling like she wasn't enough. She was seeking for answers--and decided to do something about it with inspiration from the likes of Gabby Bernstein and Wayne Dyer.
Connect with Amanda on social media: @theamandamarit on IG. To learn more about the meditiation practices Amanda shares during this episode, visit her website: Check out her FREE "Manifesting Millions" Morning Meditation Practice that includes a step-by-step guide on exactly how to implement it.

Back with a solo session for our FIRST episode of 2022. Welcome to another new year, FYX listeners. It's that time again where we look to new diets, fresh starts, new workout routines, and an overall renewed commitment to our health and wellness goals. In chatting with potential and current clients over the last two weeks, I keep hearing all of these plans to try ALL. OF. THE. THINGS.
But here's a little secret: doing TOO MUCH is actually your biggest problem.
Instead, let's start small. Tune into this episode for a simple activity you can do on your own -- in less than 10 minutes -- to figure out not only where or how to start, but how to actually guarantee your success. Grab a pen and paper for this episode: you'll thank me later.

We're diving deep on stress, hormones, gut health, and advocating for yourself in the doctor's office with Dr. Ralph Esposito on the latest episode of The FYX. Dr. Esposito is a naturopathic physician, acupuncturist and functional medicine practitioner specializing in integrative urology and endocrinology with a hyper-focus on men’s health. His precise and personalized style utilizes a systems biology and precision-medicine approach to medicine.
In addition to advising as a peer reviewer for medical journals, he has authored several medical textbook chapters and has designed education modules for health professionals specifically on male and female hormone dysfunction, urological conditions, hypogonadism, exercise, men’s health and sexual dysfunction. Dr. Esposito completed his medical internship at NYU Integrative and Functional Urology Center. He holds a position as adjunct professor at New York University where he lectures on integrative nutrition. He is also the Chief Medical Advisor for Athletic Greens, a supplement that combines 75 vitamins, minerals, and whole-food sourced nutrients into one convenient daily serving. Athletic Greens has been in the market for over a decade with just ONE product, with a total committment to quality.
In this episode, Dr. Ralph and Krysta discuss how they both incorporate Athletic Greens into their daily routines, and Dr. Ralph explains why he jumped at the opportunity to become a part of the brand -- he was a user of AG1 well before the partnership began, and has found that it's the perfect support for increased energy levels -- especially around the time of the typical 2 p.m. slump [when most of us reach for coffee--don't worry tough, FYX listeners, he loves his caffeine just as much as we do over here.]

Toni holds a Master’s Degree in Nutrition, is an avid lifestyle blogger for over 10 years, and someone whose passion lies in helping people live happier and healthier lives. She's made it her mission to help her clients heal their relationships with food, gain self confidence, and find balance in their eating habits.

In this episode, Toni and Coach Krysta discuss:
-
The parallels between dieting and dating
-
How to eat well and exercise from a place of loving your body vs. resenting or punishing it
-
Toni's tips for building better habits

How a better relationship with your body and food ultimately impacts your relationship not only with yourself, but with your significant other

Man do they grow up so damn fast--it's the FYX Podcast's FIRST BIRTHDAY. Just like that, we've hit 52 episodes in 52 weeks. The best part? We're literally just getting started. In this semi-solo episode, I'm joined by my maestro behind the scenes--my Digital Editor and Producer, Tony Prugel. Tony and I serendipitously connected via Instagram just over a year ago, and he's somehow continued to put up with all of my shit for the past 12+ months. This show came alive before his assistance in the weekly editing process, and I've got several other important people to thank--and they know exactly who they are. But, I owe a special shout to the guy who has quite honestly produced shows overnight, without ever compromising on the high standards I hold myself--and this brand--to week in and week out.
We flipped the script a bit for this one and Tony joined me in front of the camera and on the mic. The conversation led to significant reflection on all that's transpired in producing and growing this podcast over the past year. I've learned so much about myself, about the wellness industry, and some pretty complex science around nutrition. I'm also refining my voice and can sum up these 50+ weeks as lessons in the following:
-
Perfection's battle with showing up consistently
-
The NEED to plan: getting ahead and STAYING ahead
-
Saying something when you have something to say
-
Being a better listener
-
Tuning out the distractions and going deep with one person
-
The psychology of coaching
-
Keeping liquids away from my devices (plural!!)
-
Always backing up files
-
Never settling for less than your best effort
...And in true FYX fashion, we drew all of the parallels that podcasting shares with nutrition and fat loss.
THANK YOU for supporting The FYX in its first year. We're heating up for an incredible 2022--as long as you promise to keep coming back for more.

Thanksgiving Day has arrived! First and foremost, HAPPY THANKSGIVING to all of The FYX listeners--words cannot express my sincere gratitude for your support of this show, especially as we're only weeks away from one full year of FYX episodes.
We've got our fourth edition of Food for the Holidays, falling perfectly in line with the big day: Thanksgiving. The FYX is here to help you make the best choices possible for the holidays, without sacrifcing fun and memories with your loved ones.
In this episode, Krysta talks about what TO DO and NOT TO DO following your Thanksgiving food choices. What matters most? Enjoying your meal--without guilt. Period.
And we've got a few other tips for keeping you feeling like your best self:
-
Going for a walk after your meal to support digestion
-
Second guessing whether you want leftovers. Or are you eating for the sake of the food being apart of your environemt--especially for a limited time?
-
Food will always be there

Part III of the holiday food chat--Food for the Holidays! Coach Krysta is still flying solo to bring you her top tips on navigating the overwhelm and challenges surrounding the holidays and our food choices. The FYX is here to help you make the best choices possible for the holidays, without sacrifcing fun and memories with your loved ones. In this episode: Stop trying to be like everyone and their grandmother on a New Year's Resolution kick come January 1st. Be your OWN catalyst for kickstarting your health goals.
Why? Because we all know that you are the only person stopping you from achieving the outcomes you truly desire. What better way to guarantee your success than engaging the support and accountability of a coach? Most coaches can speak from genuine experience when we say that clients who begin on their path in November and December--and more specifically, don't use the holidays as an excuse to 'go off the rails,'--are much more likely to achieve their goals within the following year. On the other hand, those who wait until the turn of the new year, are likely delaying the inevitable cycle they'll fall back into yet again. As yourself, truthfully, what will make this year different? You CAN make this year different by starting now. In this episode, Krysta talks about:
-
How working with a coach in November and December gives you real support in the exact situations that have led to past failures
-
Why a coach brings value as someone without skin in your personal game
-
Why seasoned coaches would NOT ALLOW calorie deficit phases between November and December
-
How learning to navigate overwhelming food environments is that much easier with a coach's support

Part II of the holiday food chat--Food for the Holidays! For the next few episodes, Coach Krysta is flying solo to bring you her top tips on navigating the overwhelm and challenges surrounding the holidays and our food choices. The FYX is here to help you make the best choices possible for the holidays, without sacrifcing fun and memories with your loved ones.
In this episode: How to NOT eat like an asshole -- one of my favorite sayings to share with clients when we're talking about overeating. We have access to excess--and sometimes, in eating like we've never seen food before--we forget to be grateful for the excess. In the case of Thanksgiving, the options may overwhelm us. A lot of us have a tendency to eat simply because the food is available and right in front us.
The best mantra I have to share: Food will always be there. If you have certain foods that are only around your house during the holidays, prioritize them specifically: you only eat them once a year! Go for it! If there's a dessert or side you know you could easily eat next week, that might be the one worth skipping. My Thanksgiving favorite? Sweet potato casserole: give me all of the sweet potatoes and marshmallows, please and thank you.

In today’s episode, Coach Krysta talks about the fiasco that nearly was recording this podcast episode—and how the experience was in fact A LEARNING OPPORTUNITY in ADAPTABILITY. With original plans to cover a slightly different topic, a missing microphone USB cord and spotty internet became a lesson in nutrition. How, you ask? It prompted some thoughts around the importance of always having back up plans, even when they’re not nearly as perfect as the original plan—for the sake of getting shit done, showing up and bringing your best effort. It’s all in the name of CONSISTENCY. And at the end of the day, consistency is what wins in changing your body composition, losing weight, and crushing your fitness goals. In this episode, Krysta references one of Lewis Howes’ recent podcast episodes: The School of Greatness. She highly recommends listening to his recent conversation with Dr. Benjamin Hardy, a psychologist and bestselling author, who focuses on the idea of self, our connection with our future selves, and burnout. Krysta uses Hardy’s psychology research references to tie identity into nutrition goals.

How many times have you started and quickly stopped dieting because life—specifically travel—got “in the way,” and it was suddenly too hard to stick to your plan? Coach Krysta says it’s finally time to make that excuse a thing of the past. What you’re missing is the RIGHT approach and a BETTER plan. In a lot of cases, maybe you just need a plan. Period. In this solo episode, Coach Krysta walks through a current client’s travel plans for a work trip and how they worked together to strategize on her meal choices. If you’re someone who feels like travel or meals out consistently interfere with the results you wish to see, this conversation is 100 percent for you.

In her latest solo episode, Coach Krysta tackles mindset--more specifically: how the stories you continue to tell yourself are reinforcing the habits you're working to break and are getting in the way of the goals you truly desire to achieve. Krysta walks through some of her own personal struggles--and frankly, a few excuses--she's been facing in managing a much more demanding workload, and how she sees these challenges as an opportunity to reframe her goals, but most importantly, continue to chase them.
Krysta provides a little bit of tough love throughout this conversation, explaining that the people who have accomplished the same goals you hope to reach are the same people who are willing to make difficult choices and sacrifices. These are the people who are willing to put their heads down and do the work, regardless of the short-term satisfication they may be "giving up" for the long-term gain. She also pushes listeners to consider why they may be great at getting started, but find themselves struggling to continue along a specific fitness or nutrition journey.

In this solo episode, Coach Krysta shares some more details about her latest venture at The Fort Athletic Club in Oceanport, NJ, which opens on Saturday, October 9, 2021. Krysta talks about the challenges of managing a busy work schedule in the context of your nutrition and fitness goals—specifically: how to not completely give up on them. It’s easy to justify everything as a “quick” or “grab-n-go” meal when you’re out of the house, between meetings, or exhausted for a long work day. This episode provides several tips on what to consider if you’re feeling overwhelmed by the personal and professional aspects of your life, and are unable to justify making your nutrition and wellness a priority.
The hard truth? Being “busy” is ultimately an excuse. Instead, Krysta suggests how you can:
-
reframe your mindset and approach to what it truly takes to make healthy changes in your life
-
Actually make those healthy changes stick
-
Build habits that become foundational to your success
-
Recognize the importance of discipline, acknowledging that there are requirements to reach our goals—it’s not always about making everything easy
-
Rely on motivation to get the ball rolling, but recognize that discipline brings you to the finish line

Committed to this path of self-discovery, Erin continues to healing herself, mind + body + spirit through the modalities she teaches her clients.
In this episode, we discuss:
-
How Erin found the Kundalini practice speciifically
-
Some of the misconceptions around Kundalini--what it is and what it isn't
-
How kundalini has provided more effective coping mechanisms in dealing with transitions in her life

Ashley King is an online fitness trainer and model, mom of three boys, former body builder, and most recently a strong supporter and follower of the vegan diet. Ashley details her experience in transitioning to a more plant-based lifestyle after dealing with a number of digestive issues, all of which cleared when she removed animal protein from her daily meal plan.
This conversation focuses specifically on that journey, and the research that Ashley has uncovered in adopting this approach to her nutrition. Ashley’s road to a healthy lifestyle has been paved with powerful life lessons. Life lessons that had torn her down, then pushed her to become a better version of herself. Struggling with drinking in her early 20’s, Ashley went through incredibly difficult times for years on end. Rather than simply accepting defeat, Ashley rose to the challenge to turn her life around. She saw sobriety as the only way out. Living a clean, healthy lifestyle was her light at the end of the tunnel. This critical moment in Ashley’s life has become the foundation for her very life’s purpose-- it now fuels her everyday. In seeing the radical impact that fitness and nutrition played in turning her life around, Ashley became obsessed with helping others make the transformation in their lives. Ashley firmly believes that getting fit allows you to feel like the most ideal version of yourself, and that inner sense of self-love and confidence carries throughout every aspect of your life. Getting fit in mind and body is what helped Ashley make a massive transformation in her life, and that is the driving force behind every product and service she offers as a coach.
In this episode, we discuss:
-
The importance of fitness and exercise for the sake of feeling good in your skin
-
Ashley's decision to follow a plant-based diet, and more recently, a vegan diet
-
Some of the common misconceptions around being vegan and/or plant-based
-
Finding the specific diet that works BEST for you
-
The benefits of weightlifting to build the "toned" physique that so many women seek

Rachel Blank started Allara out of a personal need. Rachel was diagnosed with PCOS after years of struggling with unexplained health issues. Since then, she's seen multiple doctors, has read a ton of information, and tried a variety of diets. But through it all, she continued to feel alone, discouraged, and frustrated. And the more she talked to other women with PCOS, the more this seemed to be a common experience. Rachel finally decided that the status quo when it came to PCOS care needed to change, and that’s why she built Allara. It’s the level of compassionate, specialized care she wishes she'd had years ago—and the care we all deserve.
In today's episode, you will learn:
-
The common symptoms of PCOS
-
Why it can take so many doctor's visits to actually receive a formal PCOS diagnosis
-
The issues surrounding the structure of our current healthcare system--and why it's leaving patients frustrated and confused
-
The importance of nutrition in managing PCOS symptoms
-
The confusion around suggested diets for women suffering from PCOS
-
What you can expect as a member of the Allara Health community
-
How Allara plans to redefine the approach to women's wellness

Cory Camp, is a personal performance coach that analyzes how our mindset affects the rest of our lives. Cory, like me, I grew up a swimmer. And for 18 years of his life, it was all he really knew. Upon graduating college and his Division I sports career ending, Cory realized he wasn't prepared for this whole "real life" thing. A year went by and he found himself lost, and 40 pounds heavier than when he'd graduated. That was the turning point and the moment he had to get his S*%^ together. Cory has spent every moment since turning his life around and reintroducing purpose and intention to it. Through fitness, lifestyle choices, and neuroscience, he's figured out a system that works to optimize life. Now he's passionate about helping other former athletes find their optimal plans to embody being a Forever Athlete. Cory and his clients tap back into the Athletic Mindset and how it can best serve us now, in the "real world."
In this episode, we discuss:
-
What it means to find your “flow” state
-
How to successfully navigate your personal and professional path post-college athletics
-
The importance of being a beginner again--and embracing that position
-
The 22 flow triggers, some of which include: clear goals, intense listening, complete concentration, and shared goals
-
Cory's list of non-negotiables: sleep, a daily exercise practice, a daily mindfulness practice, and a daily gratitude practice

Through Kara's podcast, courses, coaching, and group programs, she has created a community of women who are learning to love themselves exactly as they are, and reclaim the self-trust that was lost along the way. Come along with us as we come back home to ourselves. For years, Kara lived disconnected from her body and in a broken relationship with herself.
We discuss:
-
How Kara's experience with panic attacks, disordered eating, and numerous wake-up calls led her to realize that she needed to practice kindness to herself--a kindness she so freely gave to others
-
What intuitive eating actually means, and how to incorporate it into your relationship with food
-
How to cultivate friendships that help you grow as an individual
-
Struggling with the "shoulds" and "have to's" of life: "I should be married by this age," "I should be at this stage in my career"
-
Why Kara had to get to know--and truly love--herself before attracting her soulmate, and now husband, Caleb

We're throwing it back to the awkward teenage years with this episode's guest, my childhood friend and fellow coach, Joe Rinaldi. Joe is a Doctor of Physical Therapy, based in Philadelphia, PA, and someone I grew up with in Westfield, NJ. As we have both ventured into the world of online coaching, podcasting, writing, and content creation, it's been incredible to reconnect to share stories, ideas, and new projects. Joe maintains an extraordinary outlook on life's circumstances and he's on a mission to serve, love, encourage, inspire and leave the world a better place than he found it in everything he does. As you'll hear firsthand, Joe has a desire to make a true and positive impact on the people around him.
Joe was born with a genetic eye condition, Best Disease, that will eventually leave him blind--he has no idea how quickly his loss of sight will progress, meaning that it's entirely possible to wake up as quickly as tomorrow morning without his sight. But he's not worried about it: Joe is concerned about doing his absolute best in this moment because it’s all he has. He chooses to view his circumstances as a strength.In this episode we discuss:
-
The power of perservance and living with the "even if" perspective vs. the "what if"
-
The importance of truly living in--and embracing--the moment
-
What inspired Joe to take the leap into coaching, writing, and speaking full-time
-
Why Joe believes it's so necessary to do hard things--think: cold showers and pre-sunrise alarms
-
How the environment we grew up in has shaped us as individuals today

Matthew Paetz helps purpose driven entrepreneurs and individuals step into who they want to become for the rest of their lives--by learning how to use their stories to connect with purpose. With a background in psychology, specifically early childhood trauma, Matthew describes the scientific way we hold onto emotions and traumas and how we can learn to access them not only for our own benefit, but for our relationships and connections with others. Having unresolved trauma from a young age, later followed by a near-suicide as an adult, Matthew has since devoted his life to personal development and helps others find fulfillment in their own lives, relationships and careers.

How fear affects our decision-making--and is usually what gets in the way of our success

Looking for an unfiltered, no-bullshit take on fitness, nutrition, and the wellness industry as a whole? Aram Grigorian is your guy--formally known to the social media world as 4weeks2thebeach. Aram is primarily a personal trainer, and has been in the fitness industry for over a decade. He initially found his way into the gym as a means to avoid commute traffic for his 9 to 5 finance job, and coaching quickly followed as his coworkers began to turn to him for advice. Aram was open and frank about his experience growing up as a Russian immigrant in an upper middle class neighborhood of Connecticut. He reminds us in this conversation that men experience many of the same insecurities as us ladies out there, but they're often not as vocal about it.

Why resistance training and weightlifting are a non-negotiable for anyone chasing the "lean and toned" look we all desire
-
The power of consistency, and why it's the foundation of any diet

-
The necessity for learning HOW to eat--it's not taught to children, instead food is simply placed in front of them

Jonah Mitchell is a certified personal trainer, nutrition coach, and former collegiate athlete determined to help busy people realize they matter. ICYMI--constantly placing everyone's needs ahead of your own isn't making you a better person. In fact, it's getting in the way of your physical and emotional development. Jonah joined me on this episode of The FYX to help reframe the conversation around self-care and mental health. It's time we stop confusing self-care with being selfish--and for that matter, demonizing selfishness in general.
Jonah opens up about his childhood, past relationships, and the beliefs he's held onto for years--most of which he now realizes were limiting his potential. Through journaling, reading, and therapy, Jonah is actively working to break away from the false agreements he made with his younger self in order to grow as a coach, husband, professional, and friend.
We also dive into:
-
the importance of establishing habits and routines that are designed to guarantee success: hint -- start small
-
how the values we maintain in our personal relationships and professional lives should align with our approaches to fitness and nutrition
-
the fact that a 1% margin of improvement is STILL an improvement worth celebrating
-
the pluses and minuses of sharing progress photos as a marketing tool and celebration of client successes
-
how to establish an "All American" mindset beyond athletics and in all areas of life

We're sitting down with one of my business mentors, Chase Chewning, for today's episode. Chase is a fellow podcaster and wellness expert, my podcast coach, and an all-around great friend who is quite literally a wealth of knowledge when it comes to the latest health topics, products, and trends in the space. His podcast, Ever Forward Radio, has over 1.5 million downloads and counting, and as he's nearing the 500- episode-mark, you can imagine he's become a lifelong learner of the nutrition and fitness industry.
After connecting with Chase through a mutual friend last fall, he gave me the structure and final push I needed to officially hit 'Record' and bring the FYX podcast concept to life through his podcast coaching biz, Operation Podcast. The power of having a team to both support your goals and grow your network developed as the main theme of this conversation--that comes as no surprise considering he's played that exact role in my life over the past year.
Living a life of wellness has always been a part of Chase's story, beginning with eating fresh food from his grandparents' garden throughout childhood, playing baseball throughout school and enjoying time in the mountains surrounding his family's southwest VA home. After six years of active duty, Chase was medically discharged from the military due a string of injuries that ultimately required him to have bilateral reconstructive hip surgeries. After learning how to walk again, twice, exercise as medicine and healthy lifestyle modifications became his passion.

Courtenay Turner was born with congenital rubella. Her mother had the German measles during first trimester of pregnancy. Some of the ramifications included unilateral blindness, severe bilateral hearing impairment, hypotonia affecting the limbs, heart complications, asymmetrical bone development, stunted growth, poor fine and graphic motor coordination, and several other afflictions.
Doctors told her parents the best they could hope was to find an institution to put her in for life. From the baby nurse who put her in a wet sandbox, to her grandfather building a balance beam and exercises that her mother developed, or childhood gymnastics and other individualized sports, Courtenay is a prime example of how movement is integral to development and healing!
She attributes her ability to overcome lack of motion parallax depth perception, for vestibular sense, hypotonic muscles and poor coordination to the movement practices she has emerged from infancy through adulthood. Shields to inspire others to find ways to inhabit their physical home and moving in ways that heal their mind, body and spirit.
Tune in to this episode to learn:
-
How Courtenay's career has led her down the path of politics and writing, fitness, and podcasting

Picking yourself up after a career-ending injury is one of the most challenging and daunting tasks for an athlete. Keyen Lage, a former football player, sustained an injury that effectively ended his football career. However, he managed to turn that into a positive and started on a new journey in his life. Lage, born in 1993 in South Dakota, was destined for greatness as a football player for the Kansas City Chiefs until the doctors told him that any more football would put him at risk of paralysis. As an athlete, Lage was heartbroken – football was his life. Stuck in his parents’ basement in South Dakota, Lage was trapped in a negative cycle for a while, not knowing how to start living again. He decided to start reading and spent a month and a half in the library. He eventually came across a book, The Biology of Belief by Bruce Lipton that completely changed his life.
It inspired him to look at life from a different perspective – being healthy from the inside out. Since then, Lage has dedicated his life to helping people find joy and fulfillment in all situations. He knows the feeling of being at the top of your game but finding fulfillment only in your achievements, and not in yourself as a person.
“The emotional issues of high performers are very real, and I want to give a voice to them. I want to show them that their internal issues are real and, if not addressed, can lead to extreme chaos in their lives,” says Lage.
He has risen from an injury to successfully coaching over 200 people as a high-performance coach, helping them create a healthy mind and body in order to have a deeper connection with themselves and reach their full potential. As a personal trainer and a certified holistic nutritionist in addition to being a high-performance coach, Lage works on all aspects of his clients’ lives – physical, mental, and emotional.
Tune in to this episode to learn:
-
How to lean into sadness, pain, and discomfort to find real joy
-
Why your inability to acknowledge and experience the full range of emotions is blocking you from achieving your fullest potential
-
What to do when you feel like you've tried all of the self-help and self-development options out there, but something is still missing in your life
-
Some of the psychological and scientific principles behind today's "woo woo" theories

Bryan Baia is an athlete, musician, full-time comic, former National Strongman Competitor, soccer player, and creative content producer all-in-one. Born in Upstate New York, Bryan says that his upbringing and interests had him involved with so many different types of people. Bryan may not look like your "stereotypical" artistic creative, but having played guitar in bands and on stage since age 14, and now today running a production company, he identifies first and foremost as an artsy guy: "The biggest difference is that I'm just one who has embraced adversity head on from a young age, and I've disciplined myself through fitness and nutrition my entire life--so I don't cry about shit."
Bryan began his personal training career Upstate in 2013 and moved to NYC in 2015 to go full-throttle in the fitness industry. During that time he also picked up a camera, and started exploring the world of photography, videography, and photoshop as a hobby--he quickly became addicted. Bryan currently runs a private training business in Manhattan, an online fitness & nutrition program with his business partner Calvin (Stepbrothers) and directs his production company, Bread Productions. In Bryan's own words: Life is a beautiful thing.
Tune in to this episode to get the inside scoop on the making of Stepbrothers, which, like many online fitness businesses, was born out of a necessity and a shift in the coaching environment during COVID-19. What makes stepbrothers unique in its approach is the personality behind the brand. Bryan and Calvin's witty one-liners, dry humor, and all-around goofiness make for entertaining social media, straight up FUN workouts, and are the reminder we all need that it's not necessary to always take life so seriously.

If you follow enough health and wellness accounts on social media, chances are you're no stranger to the rapidly evolving world of CBD. I'm sure I speak for lots of FYX listeners out there when I say that I see a new "CBD-infused" product almost daily—everything from tinctures, to gummies, candles, bath bombs, cookies and brownies. With all the hype, I figured it was time we bring the FYX family up to speed on where the heck CBD is going. I went right to the source and caught up with Mark Mangieri, Director of Sales and Product Development for Hemp Synergistics, a biotech company that develops THC-free hemp-based ingredients (CBD is just one of these) to talk about a few of the brands I've recently experimented with, and the industry as a whole.
Mark has over 20 years of experience in product design, branding and distribution. In the 1990s, he pioneered online nutraceutical white labeling programs, then expanding into custom designed brands still on retail shelves today. In 2005, Mark founded his own nutraceutical company with total retail sales exceeding $100 million before moving to functional food design in 2015.
Mark's products have made it to the shelves of GNC, Vitamin Shoppe, Albertsons, Bodybuilding.com, dozens of regional health food and general grocery chains—totaling nearly 4,000 locations. His eye for market soft spots and intelligent design has created value though new category development and rising to the top of well-established genres.
Mark is now putting decades of research and design to work in the most dynamic new field of hemp cannabinoids. Already building on his hundreds of new product developments, Mark is adding intelligent design to this rapidly growing space. His biotech experience will propel the Hemp category into effective and affordable alternative medicines with the power and performance you would expect from legacy brands.

What it means to be a nutraceuticals and snack food product developer

I'm honored to welcome my friend, Tracey Croner, to The FYX podcast for a conversation on body image: it's a challenging, but seriously important topic in the health and wellness industry that year after year, only seems to become more complex for women. Tracey, who is currently the Charlotte Regional Marketing manager for Orange Theory Fitness, is a force on marketing side of the boutique fitness industry. She's spent the past six years with the Orange Theory brand, and has supported the Charlotte region's growth from just one studio to more than 10. But, there’s so much more to Tracey’s story than boutique fitness.
While we could certainly have a fascinating conversation on what makes for engaging social media, how to effectively hit sales goals, and how to help brands differentiate their offerings, we're pushing the business aside for now. Tracey has spent the majority of adulthood battling anorexia and bulimia. In preparing this episode, Tracey and I agreed it was important to include a trigger warning on the conversation, as we did discuss her behavior and health risks she faced while undereating, overexercising, and continuing to play college basketball.
On behalf of The FYX team and Tracey, we would like to note that this episode may be triggering if you or a loved one has been directly affected by an eating disorder. Out of respect for your mental health, we owe you a disclaimer and want to urge anyone who may be struggling with body image and self-esteem to seek help. There are many incredible, free resources available online, a few of which are listed at the bottom of these show notes.
If you feel alone and don’t have anyone to turn to, you have an automatic support system in both Tracey and me. Tracey launched an Instagram account, Thru Hazel Eyes, dedicated to her ongoing recovery. As you'll hear from Tracey in this episode, one of the best outcomes of her personal struggle has been the discovery of a true passion for mental health awareness and E.D. recovery. Tracey says she is fortunate for everything she's learned through therapy and rehab, and today she is committed to sharing her knowledge in an effort to help others. One of the biggest challenges about battling an eating disorder, Tracey says, is that most people struggle in silence--even when their behaviors are hidden in plain sight.
In this episode you'll learn:
-
How Tracey struggled with losing her identity as a basketball player, and why sports have always been such an important part of who she is
-
The newfound strength Tracey has discovered in facing her eating disorder head-on, and in being so open with her story today
-
That the recovery process is ongoing--and that's perfectly okay
If you or someone you know is struggling with an eating disorder, consider contacting the National Eating Disorder Helpline. The National Association of Anorexia Nervosa and Associated Disorders also has a helpline, as well as resources to connect those seeking treatment to mentors, support groups, and medical professionals.

Have you ever gotten pulled over for a speeding ticket? Remember how angry and emotional you were in the moment when the lights went up in your rearview mirror? [Maybe you haven't been stopped--in which case, lucky you, can't say the same.] Have you ever thought about how, truthfully, that anger or frustration is a bit irrational? Today's podcast guest would challenge you to step back, observe the situation happening, and dissect it from a less emotional lens: Chances are it wasn't the first time you'd been speeding--it was probably the hundredth. In reality, it just so happened to be the first time you were actually caught. Most of us don't focus on the latter though. Instead, we get too close to the argument. According to Stu Brauer, the brains behind WTF Gym Talk--a brand dedicated to providing business education to micro gym owner--what we should do in these moments is zoom out. Become an observer of the circumstances and assess, in this case, the likelihood of whether you would've gotten pulled over at some point on the road. Answer? If you keep speeding, well, duh.
It's with this skill and a sheer willingness to do the damn work, that the now 30-something has expanded his resume into quite a career. What started from exercise physiology and sociology degrees with CrossFit coaching experience ultimately became founder and licensor of strength and conditioning gym Urban MVMT in Charlotte, NC, fitness business consultant, real estate owner, podcaster, content creator, and Dad. Stu, a Cleveland native from a loud Irish family, is easily one of the most straightforward humans I know. He serves up REAL content without a bunch of bullshit.
As you'll hear in today's intro, we recorded this episode just weeks before Stu launched a new series for his WTF Gym Talk podcast and YouTube channels--long form podcast segments called Shoot the Shit. The content drop in early March had some unexpected results, or what Stu calls, a moment that makes you say, "What the Fuck?!" [And yes, that is the entire premise behind the name of the brand, which he launched in 2015]. But after a few expletives and fleeting moments of frustration, Stu leaned into his super power: zooming out. It sure sucked to lose six years of content and a chunk of your digital footprint with essentially the click of a button, but was it absolutely devastating? No. For Stu, he was presented with yet another opportunity to test his resilience and tenacity. And shit--that's why we're entrepreneurs after all. If you have no desire to be tested, if you prefer predictability, if you don't embrace change, run like hell because you're sitting in the wrong seat at the table.
Tune into this episode to learn:
Why the best career moves are the opportunities that fill in the educational gaps
How to successfully operate a business with a lean team
The best methods for empowering your employees
The benefits of a licensed vs. franchised brick-and-mortar fitness concept
Why work life balance is a bunch of bullshit
Fill your coffee cup, sip away, and get your FYX of Coach Krysta on her new podcast. Get schooled in the business of fitness by following Stu on Instagram and YouTube: It's simple--search @wtfgymtalk and you're there. As an added plug to support Stu in rebuilding his YouTube following, be sure to hit the subscribe button on his latest and greatest channel.

When founders start companies, they're often asked, what was the "Aha" moment? For Charlotte Keesler, it was more of a feeling and one that stumped her for several years. After graduating from Washington and Lee University in 2015, like a number of her classmates [mostly male classmates, we should note], Charlotte set out on the illustrious path of finance and investment banking--you know, the one that coined the term 'Boys' Club.' And within a few years, she made the highly coveted jump to the world of venture capital. But with each job change and a cross-country move from New York to California, Charlotte kept coming back to the same few questions:
Who can I trust for sage advice? When can I ask questions that are specifically geared toward women--do I have to wait until the quarterly company-wide affiliate network event? More and more, she had this feeling that nothing really spoke to her: she actually loved the work (long hours included), but it was as though she was slowly losing herself, and becoming increasingly isolated with every additional situation in which she was the 'other.' Cue Per the Work Edit: a company for the next generation of women in the workforce--solely focused on creating value for this female often labeled as 'other.' Charlotte says that woman is, in many ways, a past version of herself.
Today, Per the Work Edit is all about content and connection, but it's truly just the beginning. The Per team believes that women in the workforce deserve a company on a mission to improve every part of a woman's work life - from adding tools to her toolkit, to better understanding workplace dynamics, down to providing guides for the top workwear styles. Work is a huge part of our lives, and according to Per, it’s often not the “work” itself that needs improvement, but rather our relationship to work that needs to change.
On March 8, 2021--International Women's Day--Charlotte officially launched Per's online community and let me tell you, FYX fam, y'all NEED to get in on this. Thanks to our friends at Geneva [the coolest new community app that Charlotte kindly introduced me to!], Per's online community, The Forum, is officially accessible to gals everywhere. The Forum is a place where women across firms and industries can interact with each other throughout the day: it facilitates the seamless exchange of information, enabling women to ask/answer questions, give/receive advice, share resources & learnings, build relationships, and have a sense of belonging - all with the goal of making work better.
In this episode you'll learn:
-
Top tips for navigating a male-dominated office environment
-
How Per the Work Edit plans to support corporate companies in providing better resources female employees
-
Initials thoughts, feelings, and reactions from friends and family when you quit your job to build a brand from scratch
-
How a corporate job is in fact nothing like school--and ideas we have for better preparing females before they graduate
We know you're already feeling the FOMO on The Forum, so hurry up and head over to www.pertheworkedit.com to join the group. There just might be a free tee in it for ya, too. Connect with the Per team on social @pertheworkedit on IG and on LinkedIn--because we love networking and connections, duh.

Meghan Trainor, born a certified trainer, is a former professional golfer, motivational fitness coach and lover of all things sequins and sparkles. Since mid-March 2020, Meghan has created and delivered a new and unique live workout on social media almost every single day, with Sunday as her only day off. Yes, you read that correctly: this fitness queen is fast approaching nearly 365 new workouts written and led via Instagram and the occasional ZOOM. In that time, Meghan has curated and cultivated the Body by Trainor experience (BBT, for short), which has grown her social media platform from just a few thousand Instagram followers to more than 28,000--virtually overnight.
Meghan is the proud owner of 17 colored wigs, and reserves an entire storage unit for all of her dance costumes, which she proudly wears for her special edition Fireball Friday workouts. If these first two paragraphs haven't impressed you already, we've got more. All of THAT, is Meghan's part-time gig. Meghan is the BBT lead before 8 am EST and around lunchtime 6 days a week, but as for the other 20-something hours? She's a coffee sales gal. By now you've figured out why Coach Krysta HAD to have this female powerhouse on her show: fitness, caffeine, wigs, dancing... what more do we need!?
Meghan is a regional business manager for La Colombe Coffee and has been responsible for placing La Colombe's cans in the hands of clients like UMass, home of the largest collegiate dining program in the U.S., and Elon University, her alma mater. She so kindly shared the 27-year-old brand's most famous product, the draft latte, with Coach Krysta during the recording of this episode. We talked all things fitness and inspiration as we sipped on some limited edition and new flavors of the draft latte--ICYMI: La Colombe literally invented and patented the technology for the latte--foam and all--in a can. Y'all KNOW we geeked out on this one for our first few minutes of the episode.
Meghan's mission for her community, now named the BBT Clam Community, is simple: she is inspired to inspire through daily movement, spontaneous freestyle dancing, and thought-provoking motivational messages.
In this episode you'll learn:
-
How the BBT Clam Community blossomed through COVID-19
-
Why the Clam Community inspires Meghan to continue showing up each week
-
How coffee sales and fitness coaching have more in common than you think
-
Where Meghan finds inspiration for her workouts: she's a sucker for a fun, compound movement
-
Why everyone should pick up a set of golf clubs and learn the sport: HINT--it has taken Meghan's professional career to places she's never expected
Fill your coffee cup, sip away, and get your FYX of Coach Krysta on her podcast. We know you're curious about all those wigs, costumes, and funky dance moves after hearing from Meghan, why only take our word for it? Head over to Meghan's Instagram @bodybytrainor to see it all for yourself. Take a peek at her workout schedule, which she posts weekly, and find a time slot that allows you take less than an hour JUST FOR YOU.

Elizabeth, aka ‘Biz,’ Washko, is a personal trainer, future gym owner, and military veteran based in Maple Grove, MN—just outside of Minneapolis. Biz is known in the fitness industry for her bubbly personality, creative approach to workout programming, and her ability to make a profound connection with and impact on her clientele.
Biz originally planned to pursue a career in hospitality after an attempt to join the US Coast Guard—at the time, the organization was slow to accept females. After her first year of college, she discovered the ROTC program and decided to enroll, knowing that she’d always wanted to serve her country in some capacity.
Biz spent several years in the military and although she was never deployed, she completed several missions throughout Europe. She planned to be a lifer in service—until a medical diagnosis cut her time short. Returning to civilian life, Biz made her way into the fitness industry. Most recently, she spent just under two years working for Burn Boot Camp, where she led a team of trainers and staff to grow the franchised location at one of the fastest rates in its history.
Biz is now training 1:1 and semi private workouts in a home gym that she’s recently built in her basement, like many fit pros who’ve adapted to changes in the fitness world in response to COVID-19. She has plans to develop and open her own fitness concept, and the FYX chicks are excited to watch her grow.
Tune into this episode to learn about:
Biz’s experience in ROTC and the military
The transition back to civilian life
Biz’s perspective on competition in the fitness industry
Establishing meaningful connections with with your clients & relating on a personal level
The challenges and rewards in growing a boutique fitness studio

Webb Travis is a sought-after personal trainer and nutrition coach in Orange County, California. Originally from New York, Webb now trains, teaches, and inspires bi-coastally. He coaches both in-person and online, and is about to launch his newest online venture, a fitness app called Turf Online Training, which drops on February 1, 2021. Powered by WODify, listeners can check out Webb’s new platform once live by clicking the link below: Turf.wodify.com
Webb worked his way into the fitness world twelve years ago after undergoing his own transformation and losing over 100 lbs in a year. What started as a hobby, became a college job, evolved into a second college degree, and eventually his career. He's trained celebrities, college team players, professional athletes, elite executives, and everyday people. In addition to launching Turf Online Training, Webb, who is committed to lifelong learning, is currently enrolled in a Masters program in Exercise Science and Kinesiology. He also holds two undergraduate degrees, BA in Marketing & Design, a BS in Exercise Science and a Masters Degree in Business Administration, both of which skill sets have allowed Webb to make waves in the 1:1, group fitness, and online training spaces. In fact, when Webb first graduated college, he took a position at Equinox with the thought that it would help him establish a network of professionals needed to pursue a career in Advertising. Clearly, that pivot never occurred.
Prior to taking the leap into online training and truly embracing the idea of being his own boss, Webb’s fitness career flourished in the corporate world at Equinox.

Drew Manning is a well known Keto coach, physical trainer, and NY Times Best Selling Author of the book Fit2Fat2Fit. Best known for his Fit2Fat2Fit experiment that went viral, Drew gained over a million followers as he documented his 75 pound weight gain and weight loss journey back in 2011. His podcast has over 2.5 million downloads and he's been featured on TV shows such as Dr. Oz, Good Morning America, The View and many more. His experiment has become a hit TV show, called Fit to Fat to Fit, airing on A&E & Lifetime. Drew recently wrote and published his second book, Complete Keto, which is available wherever books are sold now.
Drew is someone who takes fitness and health very seriously and shares compassion with people who struggle to lose weight. He believes empathy is something that's missing from the fitness industry: plain and simple—losing weight is HARD. But as you’ll hear from Drew on this episode, after two rounds of his fit2fat2fit journey, it’s a solid reminder that we CAN do HARD things. From his experience, Drew firmly believes that empathy is the key to understanding why some people struggle with physical and mental transformations.
Tune in to this episode to learn:
- Why Drew decided to purposely gain weight, AGAIN—and what he anticipates will be more challenging in round two, now that he’s forty
- How his mental health has been affected by physical weight gain and what he plans to do to jump back into a healthy routine
- How Drew’s family—he has two young daughters—played a part in his weight gain journey and the conversations he has with his girls around food and healthy lifestyles
- The scary reality that most Americans don’t know what fit and healthy FEELS like—three weeks into his back2fit journey, Drew is grateful to be sore because he loves the feeling of being aware of his body. But the harsh truth? Most Americans don’t know the “other side” (the healthy side) because his weight gain diet has been their daily norm since childhood

Lexi Borr is the founder of Lexi’s Kitchen Co., a healthy food company based in Westfield, NJ. Borr is a former tennis star who hit the court at a young age and played her way through college in Boston at BC, and some time beyond as a world traveling pro. Lexi’s baking business started in her college dorm with nothing but a food processor and a loyal roommate turned taste tester.
Tune into this episode to learn:
- Lexi’s favorite ingredients & recipes
- Greatest lessons learned with less than a year inside a physical shop
- How your upbringing may shape your choices and feelings of judgment and shame
- The power of positive thinking, keeping it moving, and learning to be SELF-AWARE
Want THE trick to ACTUALLY take your side hustle to the real deal? Simple. Just start, says Lexi. After all, there’s never a right time. Begin by choosing something small: March into Bank of America and announce that you’ve started a business, and you need a bank account to make it official.
Step 2? Surround yourself with positive people—even when it comes to a coffee date: “If someone isn’t making you a better person, I don’t think it’s selfish for you to separate yourself from them. I’d rather be alone than with someone who brings me down. I’m not going to spend my time getting coffee with someone where I’ll leave feeling down and tired. I want to be around people who are energizing.”
