#129 - Harriet Olliffe: Changing Course - The Biggest...

Are We Still Here? ·

2024/01/10

Harriet joins us on today's episode to talk about what owning a facility looks like in the fitness industry. From opening her unit in 2020, just before life as we know it changed for a few years, to closing at the end of 2023 to pursue deeper and more meaningful relationships with her clients. Hardships and amazing experiences make up Harriet's experience as a business owner/coach, but she has now decided it's time for a new chapter in the online/hybrid world of one-on-one coaching. We hope you

#128 - “IN & OUT”

Are We Still Here? ·

2024/01/04

Jess & Sacha dive straight into 2024 with their ins and outs and, of course, the fitness ones. What do they want to see more of? What do they want to see the back of? A social media trend they were happy to become a part of makes for a great first episode.

#127 - 2023 Wrapped

Are We Still Here? ·

2023/12/20

Jess and Sacha wrap up yet another year of podding – for which we are eternally grateful. They go into everything personal and business, so if you're a coach this one is for you. The topic of 2024 arises, and what's in store for both. Jess and Sacha also go into lessons they've learned this year, and how they will reflect and ensure challenge and growth as they go into January.

#126 - Why Cardio Takes a Back Seat

Are We Still Here? ·

2023/12/06

Jess and Sacha are huge cardio advocates, but they've both been in positions where it was nudged off a cliff because they thought strength was more important. This is not a "Cardio Vs. Strength" podcast, it's not a battle. It's a podcast to help explain why both are needed and why cardio is seen as the weaker part of the duo, even with such potent benefits. Even as an active person, your heart and lungs often need a good workout. Jess and Sacha go into some specifics and a case study to help you

#125 - The Inner Critic

Are We Still Here? ·

2023/11/29

Beliefs guide our lives. It's odd when you think about it, but every thought and every decision you make is guided by what you believe in/believe to be true. The things you tell yourself and the voices in your head (the normal ones) are essential for your health and fitness. Negative self-talk? Negative outcomes, it's as simple as that. Jess and Sacha go into their own strengths and weaknesses regarding inner-critics, and why it's so important to back yourself.

#124 - Beyond the Basics

Are We Still Here? ·

2023/11/22

We hear, "Just stick to the basics and you'll be fine" constantly in the fitness world. But without context what does that even mean? Steps, water, protein... simple things that require a personalised touch. In this week's episode, we dive into transcending the basics to make them relevant in our lives, and how sometimes it's good to get lost in complexity and overwhelm to come out the other end.

#123 - Questioning Recent Beliefs

Are We Still Here? ·

2023/11/15

It's easy to see growth over a decade, but today Jess and Sacha looked back on very recent shifts in perspective. They spoke about steps and how for some people they just aren't enough to bring a cardiovascular adaptation, how obsessing over form will leave you fragile, and how undesirable levels of consistency could end up being your downfall. As always, please share this episode if you found it helpful. Thank you for listening!

#122 - Time, Patience, & Endurance

Are We Still Here? ·

2023/11/08

Inspired by Sacha's most recent substack, Jess and Sacha spoke about how important time and patience are within fitness, and why, if you understand something, it can actually reduce stress and bring you peace. False promises are everywhere in the fitness industry, but sometimes it's up to the coaches to set things straight. We go over what helps, what doesn't help, and certain thought patterns which help make sense of it all. (Sacha’s Substack: https://shorturl.at/hryGU)

#121 - "A Haunted House But..."

Are We Still Here? ·

2023/11/01

A haunted house but… is a trend that rears its head every Halloween, but Jess & Sacha wanted to go into it with a little more context and some personal experience. Scary is subjective, and they wanted to focus on things we should be looking out for but also WHY we should be looking out for them. A little humour, and more swearing than usual (passion needs cuss words sometimes) but also some education as always.

#120 - Is Your Fitness Seasonal?

2023/10/25

Today Jess and Sacha go over the seasonal fitness hamster wheel, and how to get off as soon as possible. We get it, we've been there – the temptations surround us. We go into why we might feel challenges, Christmas shreds and holiday 'mini-cuts' might seem like the answer when really it's likely an internal itch we're trying to scratch. As always, Jess and Sacha go beneath the surface-level topics and go into some finer detail. Please do share this episode on your socials, it really helps the

#119 - How to Know You’re Still Hung Up on Body Image

Are We Still Here? ·

2023/10/18

It’s a trend at the moment to believe you don’t care about what you look like, and some people genuinely don’t – but there are some ways you can tell people are still attached to the “smaller is better” idea, and hide it behind apparent body confidence. We’re not saying an aesthetic focus is negative in its entirety, but if it’s something you’re wanting to venture away from, here’s some things to look out for.

The action of making the best out of something isn’t uncommon when it comes to our health and fitness. After all, none of us want to spend time spinning our wheels.

2023/09/20

Simplicity can often be mistaken for making something easy, whereas today Sacha and Jess talk about how simplicity can often mean clarity when it comes to your health and fitness. This week’s episode includes how social media captures our attention with our fitness endeavours, why a simple programme is often one with clearer intention, and why clear and achievable lifestyle guidelines can offer us success with our health.
