Top 10 What the F...45! Episodes

Goodpods has curated a list of the 10 best What the F...45! episodes, ranked by the number of listens and likes each episode have garnered from our listeners. If you are listening to What the F...45! for the first time, there's no better place to start than with one of these standout episodes. If you are a fan of the show, vote for your favorite What the F...45! episode by adding your comments to the episode page.

In this episode, Andy sits down with Lifestyle and Health Coach - Tasha Star, to discuss the trends they both see in diet/nutrition, different coaching styles and "all of the fads". It seems that everyday there's a new trend in diet and nutrition and a new approach to "getting slim quick". But then again, some people believe it's all about aesthetics and others focus on "body positivity". This can sometimes cause neglect towards healthier lifestyle choices in an effort to steer away from the aesthetic obsessed majority. Neither group may be acknowledging the health consequences that can arise from these extremes.
So, what do you do when you want results but in the healthiest and most self-loving way possible?

What the F...45! - Ep 13. Member Spotlight Interview : Will Kay
play

05/31/21 โ€ข 37 min

Will Kay joined the F45 Hamilton Downtown fitfam soon after opening and quickly became a die-hard, staple member of the community!ย  Will's commitment has been evident challenge after challenge, as he continues to demonstrate how hard work leads to results.ย  He's lost over 30 lbs since joining us 2 years ago and has kept it off without any yo-yoing AND through the pandemic! This is due to Will's commitment and consistency to the program and not attempting to do crash diets or unsustainable methods to see results quickly.ย  This is what we're about! Health and Lifestyle changes that are consistent. Challenges are great for added motivation but we must look past the challenges to achieve optimal health and fitness levels that last a lifetime.ย

play

05/19/21 โ€ข 35 min

I'm sure a majority of our members have been following Natalie during her journey over the last 7 months. It is just down right impressive! With over 20lbs lost and a 50% reduction in her body fat - She's not stopping until the bicep veins are poppin'!
She's proud of her age and what she's achieved and she officially became a grandmother this past year! (She's the hottest granny we ever did see!)
Beyond that her dedication to fitness and nutrition is so inspiring and infectious.
We are super proud of her and she has a great story to tell about how F45 lit that fire inside for her.
How did she do it?
How does she continue to see results?
What keeps her motivated?
What tips does she have for you?
All this and more during our interview!
Enjoy!
