Even coaches need coaching. In this episode of More Than Meatheads, Luis and Andrew open up about what happens when personal trainers hit burnout — mentally, physically, and professionally. They break down why it's so hard for trainers to ask for help, how to recognize when you've plateaued, and the best ways to recharge, reset, and reignite your passion for fitness.
In this episode of The More Than Meatheads Podcast, Luis and Andrew dive deep into the mental side of fitness — exploring how body dysmorphia can distort the way we see ourselves, even after real progress. They unpack how gym culture, social media, and perfectionism fuel unrealistic expectations, and share personal experiences of chasing an image that never feels "enough." The guys offer real talk on recognizing the signs, reframing your mindset, and learning to appreciate your body for what it can do, not just how it looks.
Whether you're catching flights or feelings, your gains don't have to stay home. In this episode, Luis and Andrew break down how to keep your body moving, your nutrition on track, and your mindset strong while living out of a suitcase. No gym? No problem. No excuses either.
In this episode, Andrew and Luis dive into how fitness impacts every corner of your relationships—whether it's dating, friendships, or family life. From the confidence boost that comes with training to the challenges of balancing gym time with social commitments, they explore both the upsides and the complications. They cover how fitness can: Strengthen dating connections through shared lifestyles (and sometimes strain them when priorities don't align). Bring friends closer through accountability and shared goals, while also navigating competitiveness. Influence family traditions and inspire loved ones to adopt healthier habits without being pushy. Require boundaries and balance so fitness enhances, not isolates, your relationships. At the heart of the conversation: fitness can be either a bridge or a barrier—it all depends on how you communicate, balance priorities, and respect different journeys.

Behind every great workout is a Trainer secretly wishing you knew a few things. In this laugh-out-loud episode, Luis and Andrew share the top lessons they want every client to understand—why slow progress is still progress, why consistency beats one epic sweat fest, and why communication (and a decent grocery list) matter more than the latest TikTok trend. A fun, insider look at how to get the most out of your training and your Trainer.

Has this ever happened to you? You lifted something, did your set and now your shoulder sounds like popcorn after? There's a fine line between pushing through and pushing your luck. From weird gym injuries to stubborn sniffles, Andrew and Luis are tackling the age-old question: "Do I tough it out or call in the pros?" In this episode, we talk about when it's time to stop Googling your symptoms and actually see a Personal Trainer, Physical Therapist or Doctor. We share personal stories (yes, including the "I thought it was nothing" moments), explain what red flags to look for, and drop some real talk on self-diagnosing. It's equal parts fitness, common sense, and just enough sarcasm to keep things interesting. Your body might be trying to tell you something—are you listening? Speaking of listening, keep listening to us by following us through all our channels and tell all your friends and family about it.
In this episode, Andrew and Luis tackle why millennials would rather nap than squat. We break down burnout, roll our eyes at toxic positivity (no, Susan, not everything needs a gratitude journal), and remind you that your mental health deserves a spot in your workout plan — preferably right next to your water bottle and questionable pre-workout mix. Tune in, laugh a little, and remember: sometimes rest is more hardcore than reps.
