  • The Trainer's Scoop Episode 90: How to ACTUALLY Use Science For Your Fitness with Jack Quint
    Jun 16 2025

    Welcome to The Trainer’s Scoop! In Episode 90. I’m rejoined by Jack Quint, who is the perfect guest to address a topic that I see causing a lot of chatter in the fitness industry right now — “are science based training methodologies going too far?”


    We’ve seen a major uptick in people that claim to be science based both in the gym and online, and as great as it is to incorporate science into any pursuit, misunderstanding its application can result in some big issues with your progress toward achieving your fitness goals.


    So I wanted to answer the, “How do I use science to achieve my goals,” conversation with Jack, who has a Masters Degree in an Exercise Science, making him well versed in interpreting studies, and having conducted research himself. Our goal for the episode was to help you develop the framework that you can use to integrate science into your fitness, without losing the plot

  • The Trainer's Scoop Episode 88: The Trend That Is Killing Your Progress
    Apr 30 2025

    Welcome to The Trainer’s Scoop! In Episode 88, I’m joined by a very dear friend, Hailey Thayer. Hailey is a former college swimmer, and currently is a dedicated gym goer (to the point where she has built a crazy home gym) that knows a thing or two about the commitment and effort that one must dedicate toward practice/training when it comes to being considered competitive at a high level.


    In our discussion, we examine a recent trend we’ve been seeing on social media, the switch to “hybrid athletes,” and how following trends can impact your ability to make significant progress toward a long term goal.


    I hope you enjoy it, it was definitely a fun one for me!
