EP.26 How to level up your gym game and confidence

The Health Huns ·

2025/11/07

Think everyone at the gym knows exactly what they’re doing? Here’s a secret: most people are focused on themselves, often unsure about their own form. We dig into how to turn that insight into confidence, so you can train harder, smarter, and actually enjoy getting stronger without letting fitness take over your life. We start by breaking the “permanent beginner” mindset and move into clear, doable progressions: swapping lunges for split squats, testing assisted pull-ups after lat pulldowns,...

2025/10/31

What if the scariest thing in fitness isn’t a burpee, but a panel of blokes explaining the menstrual cycle? Our Halloween special turns the gym into a haunted house and tours every room you secretly dread: MLM pitches at the door, sleds blocking every path, “high protein, low calorie” echoing like a curse, and denim-clad grunters who treat the rack like a stage. We laugh, we roast, but we also get honest about boundaries, ethics, and how to create a gym culture that actually feels good. Alon...

Ep.24 Our Top 10 Health and Fitness Icks!

The Health Huns ·

2025/10/23

If the weights floor has ever felt like a stage for the loudest person in the room, you’re not alone. We’re digging into the fitness “icks” that drain motivation and shut people out—from theatrical grunts and plate slamming to smug couples coaching each other badly and copycat content that mistakes clicks for care. We talk honestly about what sustainable training looks like when sleep is a mess and energy is low: gentle rest days, mobility, slower runs, intervals when they help, and strength...

Ep.22 Self-Sabotage and How To Overcome It

The Health Huns ·

2025/10/13

Ever feel like you’re the one standing between you and your goals? We break down self-sabotage with unflinching honesty and a lot of practical warmth—why we set giant, glittering plans we can’t sustain, how “start on Monday” thinking keeps us looping, and what actually works when life is busy and motivation is low. From skipped summer runs to snack-only days and overstuffed to-do lists, we trace the real patterns that derail progress and show how to make change so small it finally sticks. We...

Ep.21 HYROX

The Health Huns ·

2025/10/10

We dig into what makes a fitness community feel genuinely welcoming, where glossy events set hidden barriers, and how to build spaces that fit real lives rather than perfect images. Respect for HIROX, Ironman, and elite clubs stands alongside a call for clearer labels, lower barriers, and more honest inclusion. • Gay to 5K as a blueprint for practical inclusion • the gap between “inclusive” marketing and actual access • HIROX identity, travel, training time and cost barriers • Ironman expens...

Ep.20 Listener Q&A #2

The Health Huns ·

2025/10/06

A 20th‑episode milestone deserves a little chaos, so we opened the floor to your questions and went wherever they led—no fluff, no shame, just real talk. From normalising leaks during workouts to the eternal “Do I really need 150g of protein?” debate, we dig into what actually moves the needle for health: a supportive community, smarter training, and food that makes you feel good without turning eating into homework. We share what the past year taught us—why running slower can be the fastest...

Ep.19 Supplements

The Health Huns ·

2025/10/02

Hype sells. Health doesn’t need to. We invited the supplement aisle into the light and asked the only questions that matter: does it work, is it safe, and is there a simpler way to get the same benefit? Between gym stories, a fresh rowing PB, and a big 2026 fitness goal, we break down what everyday people actually need—and what’s just expensive hope. We start with the confusion: influencers, sleek labels, and bold claims make powders feel essential. Then we separate signals from noise. Magne...

The Health Huns ·

2025/09/25

Consistency - that magical buzzword thrown around in fitness circles as the ultimate solution to all our health and wellness struggles. But what exactly does consistency mean, and is it truly the golden ticket we're led to believe? In this refreshingly honest conversation, we challenge the toxic narratives surrounding consistency in the fitness world.

Ep.17 The Mysterious World of Women’s Health

The Health Huns ·

2025/09/18

Every woman knows the feeling—sitting in a doctor's office, describing debilitating symptoms, only to be dismissed with "try losing weight" or "it's just hormones." This isn't just frustrating; it's dangerous. We're pulling back the curtain on the systemic problems in women's healthcare, exploring conditions like PCOS, endometriosis, and perimenopause that affect millions yet remain chronically under-researched and misunderstood. Did you know it takes an average of 7-8 YEARS to receive an en...

The Health Huns ·

2025/09/04

Remember lining up in the school hall to be weighed in front of everyone? Or being forced to wear those ridiculous PE knickers while attempting gymnastics? The humiliation of childhood PE classes is something many of us carry well into adulthood—often manifesting as a complicated relationship with exercise and our bodies. In this raw, unfiltered conversation, we unpack what it truly means to grow up as "the fat kid" and how these formative experiences shape our relationship with fitness for ...

2025/08/07

Sexism in the health and fitness industry creates significant barriers, particularly for women, manifesting in everything from marketing language to funding disparities and objectification in gym spaces. We explore how these systemic issues affect participation and achievement in fitness, and what changes are needed to create more inclusive environments. • Fitness marketing uses dramatically different language for men ("beast mode," "dominate") versus women ("tone up," "slim down") • Women a...
