How To Turn Pro: Lessons From Steven Pressfield's Book "Turning Pro"

Thu, 16 Jul 2026 09:00:00 -0400

The difference between the amateur and the professional isn't talent. It's how they act in the face of fear.

In this solo episode, Charlie breaks down Steven Pressfield's Turning Pro and how it completely shifted his mindset as a runner, coach, and human navigating setbacks. He talks about the difference between amateur and professional, mastery and performance, and why so many people stay "part-time pros" instead of fully committing.

What you'll learn:

Why pros are more terrified than amateurs but do it anyway
The zero-sum trap: how comparison kills your progress in the gym
Instant gratification vs. deferred gratification (and why you keep giving in)
How to stop seeking permission and start acting like you already have it
Why "ticking the box" isn't enough. You need to fill it

This isn't about motivation. It's about showing up when you don't feel like it, being present in the process, and building a mindset that survives injuries, setbacks, and distractions. Whether you're lifting, running, or trying to stay consistent with anything, this episode will challenge how you show up.

Mentioned: Stephen Pressfield's Turning Pro and The War of Art, Mark Manson, mastery mindset, resistance, and the infinite game.

Kaspars Maksimovs - The Fitness Epidemic: We've Forgotten How To Play

Wed, 15 Apr 2026 05:00:00 -0400

Are you training in a way that's best for your long-term health?

In this episode, Charlie and Charlotte sit down with Kaspars Maksimovs, a fellow coach down at Barn Gym, and chat about all things movement and coaching.

Kaspars talks about how his upbringing in Latvia shaped his early days of physically-focused training, and how he has pivoted to prioritising awareness, integrity and adaptation.

Kaspars' philosophy is simple but radical: movement is not something you schedule - it's the language of being alive. When you stop treating your body like a machine that needs "workouts" and start living with movement at the core, everything changes.

This conversation will make you rethink why you train, how you move, and what your body is actually capable of.

North Korea Cancelled?!?! Charlotte's ADHD update and Guy touches Charlie's Leg

Thu, 12 Mar 2026 02:00:00 -0400

The dream's dead. Three weeks before departure, Guy gets the email: Pyongyang Half Marathon cancelled. No explanation. Just… cancelled. So what do you do when months of training suddenly mean nothing?

Guy and Charlie unpack the letdown and explore Plan B (Great Wall of China? Mongolia? Monk meditations?). Plus: Charlotte's back on ADHD meds, and her brain is finally quiet for the first time in 26 years.

What We Cover:

Guy's North Korea cancellation crisis — Trading expectation for appreciation, creating adventure Plan B (Great Wall runs, Mongolian yurts, monk meditations), coaching Richard through the disappointment, and why momentum matters more than perfection
Charlie's knee comeback — Brace OFF, leg measurements surprisingly accurate, 5kg leg extensions making his quad vibrate back to life, why he's not rushing back to running, and the art of pacing races (plus why 50-mile weeks help you run 800m)
Charlotte's ADHD revelation — Taking the wrong dose by accident, "my brain was quiet for the first time in 26 years," the relief of NHS diagnosis vs. skeptics, and counting both clients' reps simultaneously
Random bits — Dildo Baggins on the antlers, Guy's weight-guessing accuracy by groping, why bodybuilding preps should be 20+ weeks, natural vs. assisted athletes, and how long you should wallow after a setback

The Half Marathon No One Trains For: Guy's North Korea Race Prep

Mon, 09 Mar 2026 02:00:00 -0400

Guy is training for one of the world's most unusual races: a half marathon in North Korea. And he's doing it completely alone on a 720-meter farm loop. In this episode, Guy and Charlie break down what it really takes to prepare for a race you can't rehearse, why most people shouldn't train like Goggins, and how to stop obsessing over outcomes when the clock is screaming at you.

Guy opens up about his best run under a blood moon (yes, through horse manure), the mental warfare of passing his own house 20 times per session, and why intervals changed his life.

Charlie delivers serious value on mental performance:

His top 3 journaling tips most people never hear
The power of mental, visual, and tactile cues for focus
How to stay present instead of chasing times
Why visualization works (and when it doesn't)

From CrossFit competitor to solo half-marathon grinder, Guy's transformation is raw, relatable, and packed with lessons on resilience, self-motivation, and training when you don't have access to ideal conditions. Whether you're chasing a PR or just trying to stay consistent when life gets messy, this episode delivers the tactical and mental tools you need.

Why accountability and structure trump knowledge alone
How to make fitness fun and sustainable (including their quirky check-in form questions!)
Adapting coaching styles to individual clients
The importance of openness and relatability as a coach
When to refer clients to other trainers with different specialties
What you actually get with their PT packages

Rachel Gold - Why Mindfulness Isn't As Woo-Woo As You Think

Mon, 23 Feb 2026 06:00:00 -0500

In this episode, Guy and Charlie sit down with Rachel Gold, a former pop star, celebrity stylist, and certified mindfulness practitioner, to explore her remarkable journey from the bright lights of fame to the quiet power of presence.

Rachel is a former professional singer, celebrity stylist, and certified mindfulness meditation practitioner. She was part of Luff, Holland's answer to Bananarama, with five number one records and international tours in the 1980s. After 15 years in music, she spent another 15 years as a celebrity stylist, working with high-profile clients on TV and red carpets worldwide.

After 35 years of practicing mindfulness, Rachel became a certified practitioner in 2019. She now runs one-to-one coaching, group classes, and retreats focused on mindfulness and personal transformation. Her philosophy: mindfulness isn't about clearing your mind, it's about observing yourself, understanding your core values, and living in alignment with your truth rather than chasing external validation.

Guy and Charlie explore Rachel's extraordinary journey from pop stardom (including being courted by the Prince of Holland on stage) to celebrity styling's toxic culture, and why she walked away from it all. The conversation dives into practical mindfulness: what it really means, how to handle triggers, discovering your core values, and why most people who say "I can't meditate" have never tried. Rachel shares the 5-second reset for stress, how social media fuels anxiety, the importance of purpose over goals, and why living aligned with your values reduces overwhelm.

If you've struggled with impostor syndrome, felt trapped by external expectations, or wondered how to make mindfulness work without the spiritual fluff, this episode offers honest, practical wisdom.

A 30 Minute Masterclass On Training Whilst Demotivated

Mon, 23 Feb 2026 04:00:00 -0500

Lost your New Year's motivation? This episode will get you back on track.

In this episode, Charlie and Charlotte tackle the biggest killer of fitness goals: demotivation. It's mid-February, the weather's terrible, the New Year buzz has worn off, and suddenly every excuse feels valid. This 30-minute masterclass is your roadmap to training consistently even when you absolutely cannot be bothered.

They break down the uncomfortable truth: motivation comes AFTER action, not before. Your body prepares you for whatever you're currently doing - if you're sitting on the sofa, it'll keep you there. But get 10 minutes into a workout, and suddenly you're unstoppable.

You'll discover:

The After Feeling Principle: You can't wait to "feel like it" - the reminder comes FROM doing the thing
The 40% Rule: Your mind gives up way before your body does (Goggins was right)
The Annoying Child Method: Keep asking "why?" until you find your real purpose
The Warm-Up Hack: Drive to the gym, do a warm-up, see how you feel - 9/10 times you'll finish the session
Effort Over Output: You can't always control performance, but you CAN control showing up
Progress Isn't Linear: Peaks, troughs, plateaus, and post-holiday shame spirals are all normal

Key takeaways:

Discipline beats inspiration every time - motivation is never consistent
Your body is an efficiency machine that only gives energy for what you ask of it
Don't wait to "feel good" before coming back - the feeling comes FROM the gym
Nine times out of ten, you're not burnt out - you're just being lazy (and that's okay!)
Community accountability matters: group chats, active friends, shared wins
Consistency looks boring until you see what it builds

Who needs this episode:

Anyone who's fallen off their New Year's resolution, uses weather/work as excuses, has plateaued mentally, or just "doesn't feel like it anymore."

Stop waiting for motivation to strike. Listen to this 30-minute kick up the backside and get back in the game.

Andy Dawling - Being Present After War: Professional Rugby, PTSD, and Being The Best Dad He Can Be

Mon, 23 Feb 2026 04:00:00 -0500

In this episode, Guy sits down with Andy Dawling, his former strength and conditioning coach at Sutton Valence School, to explore his extraordinary journey from professional rugby to war zones and back again.

Andy is a former professional rugby player, military veteran, and strength and conditioning coach whose life embodies "only the fit will survive."

Andy played professional rugby for Gloucester, Harlequins, Coventry, and England Sevens, while serving with the 7th Parachute Regiment Royal Horse Artillery. He made history as the first professional rugby player to deploy to war, serving in Kosovo (1999) and Iraq (2003), consistently choosing his regiment over personal rugby glory.

His career was marked by remarkable comebacks - including being told he'd never play again after prolapsing three discs at age 26, then winning the Middlesex Sevens with the Army in 2001 and 2004.

After retiring, Andy spent 15+ years coaching at Harlequins and Saracens Academy, developing players who became England internationals. He currently serves as Saracens' kit manager, applying his military mindset: removing barriers so others can perform at their best.

A mental health advocate, Andy walked 1,100 miles around Wales to process PTSD and founded The Wolfpack Pilgrimage, bringing people together through endurance challenges for mental wellbeing. He's a father of two and raises funds for Greenhouse Sports, providing sports interventions for children in poverty.

His evolved philosophy: "It's not just about being physically fit - if you're not mentally fit, what does that look like? My ultimate driver is being the best version of myself to be the best parent that I can be."

If you've struggled with finding your place, dealt with trauma, or wondered how to use physical challenges for mental healing, this episode offers raw honesty and practical wisdom.

Supplements 101: From Creatine to Magnesium - Everything You Need to Know

Thu, 12 Feb 2026 01:00:00 -0500

Confused about which supplements you actually need? This episode is your complete roadmap.

In this episode, Guy and Charlotte break down every supplement worth your money - from creatine to magnesium, protein powders to omega-3s, and everything in between. They expose which "must-have" supplements are complete BS, reveal what actually makes a difference, and explain why most people are supplementing completely wrong.

You'll discover:

Creatine: The only supplement everyone should take (and why you probably thought it was a steroid)
Protein powders: Whey vs. isolate vs. casein - what you actually need and when
Vitamin D: Why every UK resident needs this from October to April (and how to avoid expensive piss)
Magnesium: The sleep and recovery hack that actually works
Omega-3s: Are you really eating enough oily fish?
Pre-workouts: The truth about caffeine, beta-alanine, and the legendary "Ultra Vulture Smash Your Mother"
B12, iron, zinc, fibre: Who needs them and who's wasting their money

But here's the uncomfortable truth they won't let you skip: Supplements are the LAST thing you should focus on. If you're not sleeping 7-8 hours, training with intent, managing stress, or hitting your fiber and protein targets from whole foods - no pill will save you.

Guy and Charlotte share their personal experiences (including Guy's digestive transformation from increasing fiber to 40g/day and Charlotte's superhero moment when she first tried creatine), debunk marketing myths, and give you the exact roadmap to identify what YOUR body actually needs.

Key takeaways:

Get your fundamentals right FIRST: sleep, training, nutrition, stress management
Track your food for a month to identify real deficiencies (not just guess)
Most multivitamins are useless - target specific gaps instead
Timing matters: fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K) need food
Research matters: don't trust brands selling you their own studies

Who needs this episode:

Anyone overwhelmed by supplement marketing
People spending £100+/month on vitamins they don't need
Vegans/vegetarians missing key nutrients (B12, we're looking at you)
Athletes wondering why their performance hasn't improved
Anyone who wants to stop guessing and start supplementing smart

I'VE BEEN LIED TO ALL MY LIFE?!?! Debunking Spot Reduction, Detox Teas, and Intermittent Fasting

Mon, 09 Feb 2026 01:00:00 -0500

What if everything you thought about fat loss, detox teas, and "earning" your cheat meal was complete BS?

In this episode, Charlotte, Guy, and Charlie tear apart the biggest fitness myths that social media won't stop pushing - and reveal the uncomfortable truths no one wants to hear.

From spot reduction scams (no, you can't lose belly fat with 5 magic exercises) to detox teas that cause UTIs, they expose the misinformation machine that gets 3-5x more views than real advice. They dive into why vibration plates won't shake off cellulite, why "cortisol belly" is just another fear-mongering buzzword, and how one slice of American carrot cake can undo an entire gym session.

But it's not all doom and gloom. They also share the hacks that actually work:

Glucomannan: the natural appetite suppressant that helped Charlotte survive prep (think "natural Ozempic")
Habit stacking: why brushing your teeth + balance drills = 5 extra minutes of training daily
Post-it note reminders: Charlie's "fighter or victim" mantra that keeps him accountable
Phone outside the bedroom: Charlie's sleep hack that changed everything
The 24/7 documentary mindset: living like someone's watching (without losing your mind)

By the end of this episode, you'll know:

Which "hacks" are complete garbage
Why simplicity beats perfection every time
How to use accountability, environment design, and small habits to stack progress
Why misinformation spreads faster - and how to avoid falling for it

If you've ever felt overwhelmed by conflicting fitness advice, fallen for a quick-fix product, or wondered why your results aren't matching your effort, this episode is your reality check.

The roles have reversed... Guy's asking the questions now.

In this episode, Guy puts Charlie in the hot seat. What starts as simple questions about running quickly becomes a raw conversation (shock) about mental health, elite athletics, and why going "all-in" isn't always the best option.

Charlie opens up about being the fastest 11-year-old in the UK (with Olympic rings shaved in his head), the dissociation and race amnesia that forced him to leave the sport (before it left him...), and how six weeks of therapy changed everything. Then there's the Clemson story - training 17-18 hours per week at one of America's top programs, only to get injured within weeks and return home.

They also get into why Charlie won't train at Barn Gym despite working there, the reality of coming 2nd at English Nationals after seven months out injured, and why your environment trumps almost everything else.

By the end of this episode, you'll gain the superior knowledge of:

How therapy works when you pay attention to your relationship with it
Why some colleges in the NCAA system recruit amazing athletes but break them with programming
The importance of compartmentalizing training, work, and home life
Why being the best at 11 doesn't mean you'll stay the best
Charlie's life philosophy: "The thing you fear the most will set you free"

If you've ever struggled with performance anxiety, felt disconnected from the thing you love, or wondered what elite athletics actually costs mentally, this one's for you.

Guy Is Going To NORTH KOREA?!?!

Thu, 29 Jan 2026 01:00:00 -0500

Yes, you read that right... Guy is going to North Korea.

In this episode, Guy and Charlie break down Guy's upcoming ATHX competition and his confirmed trip to North Korea for the Pyongyang Half Marathon in April.

Guy's competing this weekend with Alice in a mix of strength, conditioning, and metcons. They discuss what makes ATHX different from CrossFit, how to prep in the final days before comp, and why Guy thinks the MetCon will be easy...

Charlie's also written Guy a brutal 10-week half marathon plan to prepare him for running in one of the most secretive countries on the planet. They talk through the challenges of shifting from explosive power training to distance running, and whether Guy can actually survive 21 kilometres without his quads cramping up.

By the end of this episode, you'll gain the superior knowledge of:

What ATHX is and how it compares to CrossFit and HYROX
Guy's strength targets for the comp
The reality of prepping for a half marathon when you're built like a rugby player, not a runner
Why community-driven gyms are taking over and pubs are closing
The best running soundtracks - Hans Zimmer, John Williams, and why Pirates of the Caribbean is the best music for long runs
How to balance strength training with running without destroying yourself

If you're into functional fitness, trying to balance strength and endurance, or just want to hear about running in North Korea, this one's for you.

#6 - 5 Things Influencers Don't Want Beginners to Know (Because They Don't Sell)

Thu, 22 Jan 2026 01:00:00 -0500

Charlie sits down with Charlotte to rattle through the biggest mistakes beginners make when starting their fitness journey - and how to actually avoid them.

By the end of this episode, you will learn:

Why changing everything at once is a recipe for disaster - the all-or-nothing mentality that has people overwhelmed and quitting by February because they bit off more than they can chew

The one thing Charlotte tells beginners to focus on first - spoiler: just turn up. Get to the gym, join classes or PT sessions, build the habit, then worry about everything else

How to approach nutrition without losing your mind - prioritize protein (1.6g per kg of body weight), get it from good sources, and let everything else fall into place around it

What macros actually are - proteins, fats, and carbs are your building blocks, micronutrients are the key that unlocks them (plus Guy's helpful breakdown: calories = weight, macros = how you look, micros = how you feel)

Why form beats ego lifting every single time - mastering the movement before adding weight, avoiding quarter squats and dodgy technique, and understanding that failure isn't when your legs are shaking and you're collapsing on the hex bar

The "build don't prove" framework - keeping reps in reserve, using a weight range instead of chasing PRs every session, and why pushing to failure every workout isn't actually necessary (controversial, I know)

How to make it easier on yourself - meal prepping lunches, creating an environment that supports your goals, and not trying to be a hero with willpower when you could just set yourself up for success

Why too much science-based info online is overwhelming beginners - yes, it's helpful if you're knowledgeable, but if you're just starting out and worried about butt wink in your squat, just go find a coach who can make it simple

This one's short, practical, and hopefully not too complicated. We're experimenting with different episode formats over the next few months, so drop us feedback, leave a review, and let us know what you want more of.

#5 - Stop Settling: How To Thrive Through Injury, Uncertainty and Setbacks

Fri, 16 Jan 2026 23:00:00 -0500

In this episode, I share my injury journey and the things I've learned over countless years of being injured as a middle-distance runner.

From a backflip gone wrong to stress fractures and ongoing knee issues, I share the hard-earned lessons from being injured more than I've been healthy. Hopefully this episode can serve as a bit of practical philosophy for going from "just getting by" to "actually enjoying life?" when your main pursuit gets taken away.

By the end of this episode, you will learn:

Why seeking help early is non-negotiable - how waiting until things were "bad enough" kept me in an injury cycle, and why investing in your health upfront saves you months of setbacks

The "what is useful over what is true" framework - choosing certainty of outcome and working toward it, even when doubt is so loud it seems like divine prophecy. It won me a national silver medal, which is nice and good.

How to reframe doubt as a signal to push forward - recognising when your convincing thoughts are actually blockers, not truth, and learning to call BS on your own resistance

The Chinese Farmer parable - why suspending judgment on whether setbacks are "good" or "bad" opens up possibility and reduces suffering during uncertainty

What you can actually do between now and then - finding the next best alternative, whether that's cross-training to build your aerobic base or using the time for personal exploration

The power of journaling for building proof - creating a record that shows you can overcome obstacles, and using hindsight as an anchor when you're too zoomed in on present struggles

My core principles: personal exploration, helping others, and being present - the non-negotiables that keep me grounded when everything else is falling apart

Practical tools like "taking yourself to the end" - projecting to completion mid-session to work through doubt in real-time, and knowing when to zoom in and zoom out

If you're dealing with injury, setbacks, or just trying to find meaning when life doesn't go to plan, this episode gives you the direction I wish I'd had a long time ago.

Why movement is medicine - How Charlotte discovered the gym as therapy during her teenage years and why she believes everyone should prioritize it.

The truth about bodybuilding prep - What it really takes to compete.

The meal prep game-changer - Charlotte's "Prior Preparation Prevents Piss Poor Performance" philosophy and why spending £6/day at petrol stations is costing you more than a month of coaching

ADHD as a superpower - How being aware of everything makes Charlotte spot every client struggling in the corner of her eye during classes

Walking beats running for fat loss - Why increasing daily steps is better than cardio for most people and won't make you raid the cereal afterwards

The "improvement phase" not "bulk" - How words matter when it comes to training psychology.

Training philosophy - Charlotte's approach of channeling emotions into training, hitting 180kg on hack squats, and knowing when to give yourself grace on bad days.

From fashion to fitness - How a missed Loughborough sports science dream led to a fashion degree, then pivoting to personal training during COVID.

Raw, real, and packed with wisdom (If you're reading this, just agree with us, yeah?). Perfect for anyone interested in fitness coaching, bodybuilding, mental health through movement, or just wants to hear two passionate trainers talk about training, meal prep, and why you shouldn't cartwheel in restaurants past age 10.

Fri, 09 Jan 2026 23:00:00 -0500

Charlie sits down with Guy to dive deep into the story behind Barn Gym - how it was built, why it exists, and what makes it so special.

By the end of this episode, you will learn:

How a COVID-19 wake-up call inspired Guy to transform a farm storage barn into a thriving fitness community

Why Guy believes "fear is the mind killer" and how NOT overthinking became his secret weapon to success

The importance of building a place (not just a space) - creating emotional attachment through personality, authenticity, and fun

Guy's philosophy that mindset trumps everything - it's not the best program, it's understanding your "why" and building sustainable habits

How Guy scaled from an £8-10k PT studio corner to a full outdoor/indoor gym facility by reinvesting as he grew

Why honesty and transparency with clients creates deeper connections than any training plan ever could

The power of purpose: Guy's drive stems from childhood insecurity turned into a mission to help others

Real talk about balancing work, drinking, partying, and still showing up - humanizing the fitness journey
