The triumph of the gym's opening was bittersweet, as Tom mourned the loss of his beloved pet Tonto mere months later. Join us in this poignant conversation as we delve into Tom's extraordinary life, filled with highs, lows, and an unwavering spirit that persevered against all odds.

For Episode #3, we had the amazing @jesswall_fitness as our special guest today.

She's a Figure Competitor and we delved into some really interesting topics!

We had a candid conversation about what it's like to compete in the fitness industry as a woman, and Jess shared some incredible insights about the dedication, perseverance, and the hard work it takes to be a competitor.

We also discussed post-competition aftercare, which is often a topic that's not openly discussed in the industry, her wellbeing and personal life…… But what really set this episode apart was that we didn't shy away from taboo subjects that are often overlooked in the fitness world.

Jess fearlessly addressed topics that are not usually talked about, and it was refreshing to have an open and honest conversation.

If you're curious about the world of competitive fitness, or if you're a fitness enthusiast looking for some real talk and valuable insights, you definitely don't want to miss this episode!
