Show Notes

In this episode, I sit down with fellow fitness coach Patrick DiBello to dive into a wide range of fitness, nutrition, and gym culture topics. From breaking strength myths to gym filming etiquette.

Some of the key topics we discuss:
✅ Why most people are stronger than they think
✅ The right way to film in the gym without annoying others
✅ Breaking gender myths in exercise & strength training
✅ How the gym builds one of the best communities
✅ Store-bought bread vs. fresh bread – the great debate

Plus, Patrick opens up about celebrating two years marijuana-free, and we talk about why burning bridges in fitness (or life) is never a good idea.
