S6:E12 - Transform from ”Skinny Fat” to Fit in 12 Weeks or Less

You've probably heard the term "skinny fat." It's a phrase commonly used by individuals who feel unfit and out of shape.
What does it exactly mean?
Usually, it describes a situation where your arms and legs lack muscular definition, and your midsection seems to bear the burden of the extra kilos.
At Enterprise, we've helped transform thousands of bodies. (Check our before and after transformations here)
So we thought we would do a show about how we create rapid change and long term transformation.
In this episode, I'm joined by Master Coaches Jaka and Al. Together, we dissect the strategies, techniques, and methods we employ to transform skinny-fat. Topics we cover include:
How to optimise sleep and decrease stress to flip the switch on recovery and hormone optimisation
Common nutritional pitfalls we encounter (and how to shift them)
Setting and achieving protein targets for muscle growth
Carb timing - the why, what, and how for energising your workouts and staying lean
Our approach to training for rapid body transformation
One of my favourite training programs to transform bodies and why it’s too brutal for most people
Sleep hacks, my special alarm clock, and how to build up melatonin naturally
Our take on alcohol consumption
And much more
Join us for this deep dive into body transformation. We'll guide you with actionable steps to get started.

S6:E11 - Why Most Personal Training Clients Fail!

Welcome to The Enterprise Fitness Podcast! Get ready for an insightful episode that challenges the all-or-none mentality and explores the complexities of creating long-term change.
Join us as we sit down with Senior Coaches Matt and Ari to discuss a topic often overlooked: why do personal training clients fail? We dive deep into key factors such as compliance, sustainability, breaking habits, life's interruptions, managing expectations, coaching behaviors, and the psychology of change.
In this episode, we shift gears and focus on the emotional aspect of change and failure, going beyond just diet and exercise. We explore the principles versus techniques and delve into what it takes to create resourceful clients rather than just providing a generic plan.
Remember, change may take time, but with the right mindset and approach, you can achieve incredible results.

S6:E10 - Rethinking Exercise Science for Better Results

Balancing University Degrees with Real-World Experience: The Force Behind Success! 
Let's talk about university degrees in the fitness industry. While they hold value, they don't automatically guarantee results unless complemented with real-world experience.
Many clients and aspiring trainers flock to exercise physiologists or exercise science programs, hoping to find the ultimate solution to their body's ailments.
Unfortunately, they often end up with overly complex programs and a lighter wallet, leaving them wanting more.
But fear not, there's a silver lining.
At Enterprise Fitness, I've had the privilege of working with numerous exercise science grads, guiding them on their journey to becoming Jedi Master trainers (yes, I'm like the gym version of Yoda). 
Here's the thing.
Degrees alone can equip you with techniques, but without real-world, in-the-trenches experience, they may fall short in teaching you how to apply those techniques effectively.
In this week's episode of The Enterprise Podcast, we sit down with our senior trainers, Matt and the talented exercise science grad, Ari, to delve into the topic of working with exercise scientists and the utility of pursuing an exercise science degree. 
Prepare for an honest and unfiltered discussion where we tackle:
- The reasons to seek an exercise scientist- The pitfalls and challenges- The gaps between theory and practice- Matt's unique experiences as a pro athlete- Ari's perspective as an exercise science graduate- Indicator lifts—what they are and how we effectively use them with our clients and athletes
Consider this podcast a verbal lightsaber battle of knowledge and insights (okay, maybe one more Star Wars reference slipped in there!). May the Force be with you as you listen and learn. 
Enjoy the podcast and let the wisdom flow!

S6:E8 - Overcoming Injuries and Bouncing Back Stronger

Injuries.
They suck.
They don't just affect your training.
In personal development, there's a saying that "progress equals happiness," and injuries bring progress to a grinding halt.
It affects so much more than just the joint, muscle, or bone; it affects your mood, drive, and confidence in life.
Unfortunately, many people receive the advice to simply rest, but that approach almost guarantees that the underlying injury will never be addressed. Injuries are often the result of pressure leaks, and it's crucial to stabilize and strengthen the joint, tendons, and muscles to ensure it never happens again.
When you get injured, it's not game over.
And sitting at home "resting" won't speed up your recovery.
In this week's episode of The Enterprise Fitness Podcast, James, Matt, and Tyrone delve into the nitty-gritty of dealing with their injuries and how they have bounced back stronger than ever.
