  259. Building a Home Gym? What You Really Need to Get Results at Home

  Sep 15, 202638 min

  Feeling like you want to build your home gym? Well…you do NOT need a garage full of brand new equipment, or every shiny fitness gadget social media tells you to buy. You definitely don't need to believe the BS that says you can only build muscle or progressively overload in a gym, either. You can totally build an amazing body from home - you just need the right equipment that you’ll actually use! In today’s episode, I'm breaking down the five things I would prioritize if I were building a home gym from scratch. But…having the *right* equipment isn't enough. If you want to build muscle at home, you still need to progressively overload, choose effective exercises, and train with intention! And…if you’re ready to stop guessing and figure out what your body actually needs, I’d love for you to join me September 28-30th, 2026, for my 3-Day Nutrition + Training Workshop. We’ll take everything we've been talking about on the podcast recently and put it into action for YOU. Can’t wait to see you there!! Episode recap: Why you don’t need an expensive or complicated setup to get results at home Identifying your fitness goal BEFORE buying home gym equipment 5 pieces of equipment I would prioritize for a home gym Choosing cardio equipment based on what you’ll actually use Where cardio fits into your overall fitness & body recomposition goals What it really takes to build muscle + progressively overload from home My tips for buying quality used gym equipment (without wasting your money) Simple ways to modify exercises & make your existing space/equipment work Links/Resources: Register for my 3-Day Nutrition & Training Workshop Check out my ShopMy Get your free Fitness Audit SHOP UFYF merchandise Grab your FREE Body Recomp Meal Prep and get the UFYF Newsletter SHOP Kion - my favorite Protein, EAA’s and Creatine!

  258. Deficit, Maintenance or Build? It’s Time to Lock TF In with Your Fitness this Fall

  Sep 8, 202632 min

  September feels like a turning point, but…not in a “change your entire freaking life today” kind of way. It’s more like a transition. Summer is winding down, and routines are shifting. This is your opportunity to *finally* stop being wishy-washy about your fitness and decide what you actually want to work toward! In today’s episode, I’m building on the Fitness Audit (ep. 256) , and everything we’ve been talking about with deficits, maintenance, and building muscle. Before you change your macros or adjust your workouts, you need to know your goal. Different goals require different strategies, and you can’t chase all of them at the same time. Fall doesn’t have to become another cycle of going all-in, quitting, and deciding you’ll start again in January. Do the Fitness Audit. Decide what you actually want, and choose the phase that supports that goal. You don’t need the perfect time or another complete overhaul. You need to decide, lock TF in, and give yourself enough time to actually get somewhere! Episode recap: Why you need to stop trying to fix every part of your fitness journey at once Using your Fitness Audit to identify the ONE area that needs your attention most Getting clear on your actual goal before changing your macros or workouts Why you shouldn’t automatically default to a calorie deficit every time you want change Understanding when maintenance might be the best goal for you Why a build phase + eating more may be exactly what your body needs Why building muscle matters at every age + stage of life Why you don’t need the perfect Monday, season, or time to get started Committing to your plan long enough to get feedback + see progress Using fall as a turning point instead of another cycle of going all-in and then quitting Deciding your goal, choosing the phase that supports it + locking TF in Links/Resources: Ep. 256 | The Fitness Audit: What’s Actually Keeping You Stuck?

  Sep 1, 202641 min

  You asked, I answered, so…I’m doing another FUN fitness Q&A!

Basically, if you've been wondering what you should actually be doing with your fitness right now, there's probably something in this episode for you!

As we head toward fall and build season, we're going to keep digging deeper into how to eat, train, and build muscle intentionally. No rushing, and no trying to change your entire body in one season. We're playing the long game, and as always, getting strong AF along the way!

  256. The Fitness Audit: What's Actually Keeping You Stuck?

  Aug 25, 202634 min

  Feeling like your entire fitness journey is a hot mess? Before you cut more calories, add another workout, or decide you'll just “start over Monday,” I want you to do something different: audit your fitness! In this episode, I'm walking you through a full fitness audit across six areas: goal clarity, nutrition, training, movement + cardio, recovery, and mindset + consistency. You'll rate yourself before answering the questions, get brutally honest about what you're actually doing, and then score yourself again. No judgment, and no giving yourself the “right” answer. Just real information you can actually use! I've even created a free downloadable fitness audit so you can work through this episode with me and repeat the process every month. Print a few copies, grab a pen, and be f*cking honest with yourself. Celebrate what's already working, find your highest-impact opportunity, and give yourself 30 days to work on it. I can’t wait to hear how it goes for you!! Episode recap: How to use the Fitness Audit to get honest about what’s really working Getting clear on your primary fitness goal & whether your current actions support it Auditing your nutrition for calories, protein, consistency, sustainability & food noise Evaluating whether you’re truly training with purpose or simply doing workouts Looking at your movement + cardio and if it supports your goals Assessing your recovery Getting brutally honest about your mindset + consistency Comparing your scores, celebrating what you’re already doing well, and identifying your highest-impact opportunity Choose one area + 1-3 behaviors to focus on for the next 30 days Repeating the audit monthly to track your progress, adjust, and keep moving forward Links/Resources: Get your free Fitness Audit Ep. 254 | You’re Doing Everything Right…So Why Don’t You Look Like You Work Out?

  255. Why Your Dream Body Probably Weighs More Than You Think

  Aug 18, 202639 min

  What if the body you're working sooo hard to build actually weighs MORE than the number you've been chasing? For years, women have been taught that smaller equals better. Eat as little as possible, weigh less, fit into smaller jeans, etc. - the list goes on. But…if your goal is to look strong, muscular, healthy, and confident, constantly trying to shrink yourself might be the exact thing keeping you from getting there! In this episode, we're talking about why eating more and watching the scale go up can feel like such a mind f*ck (even when you're gaining muscle, getting stronger, and feeling better). Your healthiest body may not be your lightest body, and your strongest body *might* weigh more than you think it should. Remember - the goal isn't to become the smallest version of yourself. It’s to become the strongest version of yourself, so let’s f*cking do it!! Episode recap: Why your dream body might actually weigh more than your goal weight Where your goal weight came from + whether it still makes sense for your body & life NOW Moving from “how little can I eat” to “what does my body need to feel good, train hard, and build muscle?” Why eating more can feel uncomfortable after years of diet culture & restriction Why body recomposition requires fuel Why the scale going up doesn't automatically mean you've gained fat. How eating enough can support every part of your life Measuring progress by your strength, energy, confidence, performance, and consistency Shifting from becoming the smallest version of yourself to the strongest version Links/Resources: SHOP UFYF merchandise Grab your FREE Body Recomp Meal Prep and get the UFYF Newsletter SHOP Kion - my favorite Protein, EAA’s and Creatine!
