Welcome to Before The Lights; a group of health professionals based in London who train people all over the creative world for TV, films, live tours but most importantly everyday life. We’ve been lucky enough to build up a pretty special group of members here at the club, so we thought it was about time for other people to get to know some of them as well as we do. In each episode we'll joined by one of our clients to discuss how they prepare physically and mentally for upcoming roles, the challenges of juggling life in the creative world and how they got it wrong along the way. Expect awe-inspiring stories about landing dream jobs as well as a healthy serving of how earth-shatteringly humbling Hollywood can be. DISCLAIMER: This is not a work out podcast, you will never have to do any exercise while listening to the show. Hosted on Acast. See <a style='color:grey;' target='_blank' rel='noopen
