October 19, 2021 19:00 - 1 hour - 72.2 MB

AUSTRALIAN FITNESS PODCAST EPISODE #64 - Luka Hocevar, The Legit Entrepreneur Many people, too many, describe themselves as entrepreneurs.  Unless you have started something....a business, a product, a service, literally from an idea formulated in your own brain and built it from the ground up to be a legitimate source of income and furthermore a saleable business, then to me, you're a pretender. Luka is anything but a pretender - he's a legit entrepreneur who has created something very sp...

Craig Harper - IT DEPENDS??

September 03, 2021 23:21 - 55 minutes - 50.8 MB

I asked him 10 questions, and he was only allowed to speak for 3 minutes on each one.  He was under pressure, but as always produced concise, common sense and useable answers.  The questions were; Why do (some) people still feel intimidated by regular gyms, and where are we getting it wrong? Do Superfoods really exist? The best 6 exercises for building muscle mass? Supplements - Overrated or Underrated? Is Cardio going to damage my gains? How do I manage my nutrition?  Why can't I seem...

Lisa Tamati - Unbreakable

September 03, 2021 21:00 - 1 hour - 57.1 MB

I think I spoke about 50 words during the whole show, I was simply enthralled.  Enjoy this remarkable human talk about her remarkable life - thus far. Lisa Tamati is one helluva lady.  I initially wanted to talk to her about her 25-year career in Ultramarathon running, but like many good Podcasts, it went in all sorts of directions, including how she came close to death making an illegal crossing of the Libyan desert, which ultimately was largely the reason she commenced Ultramarathon runni...

Tiffanee Cook - From Corporate to Combatant

August 12, 2021 12:42 - 46 minutes - 43 MB

Tiffanee speaks openly of her own personal experiences (good and bad) and how those experiences have enabled her to develop self-awareness, resilience, courage, independence and the skill to be able to maximise passion, possibilities and potential. She talks about getting knocked down (literally and metaphorically) and what it is that makes some of us get back up and some, stay down. If you would like to follow Tiff, her Podcast, her business or to connect with her: @rollwiththepunches_pod...

August 01, 2021 04:43 - 1 hour - 57.8 MB

Craig Harper and I are back at it again.  This is Part 2 of a two-part podcast we recorded on a rainy Saturday afternoon a few weeks back.  We were once again in a Victorian Lockdown, No 4, so we got on Zoom and smashed out some interesting content.  As two aging ex PT’s we have a lot of somewhat valuable IP stored in our brains about training and how to get the best result for you, based on age, ability, injury, equipment, limitations, likes, and dislikes. This Episode explores some differ...

BioAge and Healthspan - Collaboration with The You Project

August 01, 2021 04:21 - 54 minutes - 50 MB

Craig Harper and I are back at it again.  This is Part 1 of a two-part podcast we recorded on a rainy Saturday afternoon a few weeks back.  We were once again in a Victorian Lockdown, No 4, so we got on Zoom and smashed out some interesting content.  As two ageing ex PT’s and still enthusiastic strength trainers, this topic is very close and important to both of us.  So we talked about the do’s the dont’s, the why’s and why not’s to ageing. Our take - ageing badly is a choice people, and th...

Merrick Watts - The Jacked Comedian

June 25, 2021 23:36 - 1 hour - 55.6 MB

In this Episode, we certainly talked about Merrick’s experience from being on Australia SAS, but the conversation certainly took some interesting twists and turns.  Merrick opens up about his early passions (Comedy and Military Special Forces) and how he believes his brain works in a unique manner which allows him to stay ice-cold calm in situations of chaos.  He’s a deep thinker, very self-aware and incredibly mentally resilient, all the while possessing an ability to bring levity and brevi...

Back with The Commando - Steve Willis

May 23, 2021 20:00 - 1 hour - 59 MB

Steve Willis has been training and training humans for a very very long time.  It’s only with this kind of life dedicated to all things physical that you can have the kind of insight that Steve has.  And it’s evident.  I love talking to this guy and tapping into his knowledge and insight.  He’s measured, honest and forthright, yet at the same time, you can just tell that if he was your Coach, he’d be right in your corner!  This chat covers training, of course, how he managed 2020, how his ow...

The Grey Area

May 16, 2021 20:00 - 46 minutes - 42.8 MB

Sarah Rusbatch by all normal standards would probably have been classified as a party girl, the life of the party, the spark, the person who would host the after-party at her place when you wanted to kick on.  She was also by all standards a high achiever, successful in her career, a solid parent, and always the 'fun' friend to be around.  But as you’ll hear in this discussion, what you saw and what was going on behind the scenes, externally and internally, was a very different and somewhat ...

Samantha Jackson - From Corporate to Coach

February 22, 2021 21:00 - 47 minutes - 43.5 MB

Australian Fitness Podcast Episode #43 Samantha Jackson was a late starter to the Fitness game - she’s made up ground quickly.  Originally from a high-level executive corporate career, she decided she wanted to assist people at a very face-to-face operational level.  So she transitioned to being a coach - chewing her way through numerous qualifications simultaneously and then launching her career. This skyrocketed when through a chance interaction with Mel Gibson she elevated her street cr...

Ian O'Dwyer - The Movement Influencer

February 14, 2021 21:00 - 51 minutes - 47.4 MB

Ian O’Dwyer is one of those unique individuals that doesn’t fit into any particular box or have any specific title or approach to his work.   Instead, he watches and observes and then combines his unique ability to analyze movement with an outstanding knowledge of anatomy and human movement to produce outstanding outcomes.   I’ve watched him remove people's pain and limitations literally within minutes, to this day I can’t quite explain it, it’s a form of dark magic I’m sure, and I know ma...

Christina Clements - The Newbie PT who interviews ME

January 28, 2021 22:23 - 1 hour - 65.9 MB

Christina reached out to me on the Podcast email and threw a curveball.   Essentially, she asked, as a newbie PT, currently going through her qualifications, could she do a Podcast with me, but flip the scenario somewhat and ask me some questions about becoming part of the industry and getting qualified.   Christina’s thoughts were that if she had these types of questions and concerns then so too would others.  Well, how right she was, in fact, when I look back at what we discussed, those ...

Vicky Kuriel - Real Food Dietician (Part 2)

January 27, 2021 22:00 - 56 minutes - 51.4 MB

Vicky Kuriel - Real Food Dietician - Part 2 Vicky comes back on the show, the previous Episode is #33, to discuss basic questions and confusion around current nutrition trends and practices.  What I like about Vicky is that, like me, she tends to try and strip things back to basics, explain them with a common-sense approach but supported by a healthy dose of science, data, and evidence over a long period of time actually practicing her craft.  There’s more valuable content in this Episode, ...

Two Old Coaches talk training again (Craig Harper and Russell)

October 02, 2020 00:58 - 1 hour - 65.8 MB

Craig Harper and I have known each other for nearly 30 years. We’ve worked together in elite sport, I worked for him in my first PT role and we’ve been business partners in our own PT centre. We’ve remained good mates all of that time and whenever we sit down to do a podcast, it’s a bit like to old cowboys sitting around a campfire discussing the good old times and how it used to be done ‘back in the day’. Truth is though, between the two of us we’ve got over 60 years of field experience,...

Arj Perera - Blending private practice and team coaching

August 17, 2020 03:55 - 39 minutes - 36.2 MB

Arj Perera is a coach with over 15 years experience, but has travelled the less worn path to achieve some impressive results over that time. He owns and operates his own private S&C facility in regional Victoria (a city called Bendigo) and has also been a part of the WNBL scene (with the Bendigo Spirit) and the Australian Womens Volleyball team as well. I think it’s partly because he went along a different path, that he in fact developed some sound business and marketing skills that many S...

Grant Jenkins - Coach and Coach Mentor

July 12, 2020 23:00 - 53 minutes - 49.3 MB

Australian Fitness Podcast - Episode #29 Grant Jenkins. I met Grant back in 2008 when we were both part of an ASCA Level 3 course.  What I remember about him then was that he was always up for a debate, keen to challenge mainstream thinking, but not to be argumentative, just to see if there was a better, more efficient, and more effective way of doing things. He’s still challenging the status quo. He’s very knowledgeable, very practical in his thinking, and intensely passionate about his ...

Scott Fairweather - The Renovator

July 06, 2020 22:39 - 50 minutes - 46.3 MB

When I stumbled across Scott as a follower of The Australian Fitness Podcast, I was intrigued by his profile.  A little bit of research showed me that he had quite the background in training, business and the military.  So I investigated and invited him to be on the Podcast.  This is a valuable episode and Scott is an impressive operator.  If you are an entrepreneur or have an interest in being an owner / operator in the Fitness Industry, you need to listen in. This is how it should be done...

The first Sports Psych we’ve had on the show and wow, what a great Podcast it turned out to be.  Sometimes when you interview someone, you can just tell that they ooze knowledge.  The depth of ...

June 08, 2020 00:34 - 1 hour - 62.3 MB

Craig and I have history, nearly 30 years of it.  So when we get on a Podcast it's always an easy, fun chat that can go anywhere, and so to with this one.  There's some business talk, some motivational talk, some fitness talk, some shit talk, just me and Harps shooting the breeze.   We talk about business, the way to conduct business in the future, new opportunities, creating permanent change, following through, mindset and other good stuff. I describe him as a jacked Dr.Phil who's just a ...

Lachlan Wilmot...Authority on Athletes

June 01, 2020 22:55 - 53 minutes - 48.8 MB

  Lachlan Wilmot has been a Strength and Conditioning Coach for over 15 years. He’s worked, networked and strategically forged a long and successful career in a space that is typically small, hugely competitive and not forgiving. As an S&C Coach, it’s very possible to do a terrific job with your athletes, have them in great condition, reach all of your KPI’s and still lose your job. That’s the nature of this industry, so it’s not for the faint hearted or for those that don’t want to do a...

Brett Deledio - AFL Superstar.

May 24, 2020 23:00 - 40 minutes - 37 MB

So, in this Episode I had a chat with recently retired AFL Champion player, Brett Deledio. It just so happens that Brett grew up and lived in the same small country town that I did.  He’s a local celebrity and famous sportsperson around these parts, but, strangely enough we’ve only ever met once.  Our paths have never really crossed, but as a coach thats worked in the sport for many years, I always watched him play with interest and certainly admired his physical strengths and abilities as ...

May 16, 2020 23:00 - 1 hour - 59.9 MB

Episode #23 – Ali G talks TRT. Ok gentlemen, listen up….ladies you can tune in too, but make your man listen in with you.

She’s highly educated and...

Episode #22 - RJ Vs Covid - My personal and professional management of this global event

April 29, 2020 22:10 - 48 minutes - 44.8 MB

I've broken the discussion up into three components. Personally, how have I managed thus far, how have I tried to keep sane during this insane time in our lives.  Professionally, what did I do when I had to close my business in half a day, with no control, no choice, no support.  And how do I intend to resurrect a business of 7 years that has effectively been destroyed.  Finally, I touch on how I believe that the world will be changed permanently going forward, we will be scarred by this, an...

Richie Cranny - Founder, Wimp2Warrior

March 15, 2020 04:35 - 48 minutes - 44.4 MB

In this Episode I interviewed Richie Cranny, founder and president of the Mixed Martial Arts company and program known as Wimp2Warrior. As a life long student of all sorts of martial arts and combative sports, Richie created this unique fitness and competition concept when he immigrated to Australia from the UK in the early 2000’s. This certainly is something a little different. Initially created to provide people with an 20 week program for creating a new fitter, stronger and more confid...

Jay Ferruggia - The Coaches' Coach

February 17, 2020 03:48 - 53 minutes - 49.2 MB

So after a little bit of internet stalking and some complicated time-zone conversions, I finally connected with Jay Ferrugia, a masterful coach with some 25+ years of experience in athlete preparation, personal training, online training and a writer of articles for widely read publications. Jay has a long and successful career in coaching, something which I have always said is critical when analysing a persons skills and success in their field.  Generally speaking, if they have survived in ...
