PerformWell Podcast

In this episode of the PerformWell Podcast, we dive into one of our favourite topics, training styles, past and present. We unpack the evolution of fitness programming, comparing science-based lifting methods with old-school, traditional approaches.We talk about why it’s not always about one or the other, but how blending both can actually get you the best results. It all comes down to intent, purpose, and knowing when (and how) to push or pull back.We also dig into our personal experiences, the value of time under the bar, and why just following trends, like Hyrox, won’t necessarily get you where you want to go. If you care about training smart, not just hard, this episode is for you.As always, thanks for tuning in!
