  • Approachable, safe and thorough expertise

    Excellent podcast whether you’re a beginner, old hand or ‘lapsed’ at exercising and incorporating strength training. I like that there are short one topic episodes as well as long form interviews that help me build confidence and reconnect with enjoying mindful strength training.

    Merci beaucoup! ^_^v
