Nacho Fitness Coach

In this episode, Caleigh and Sara reminisce about the strange, hilarious, and slightly unhinged way their lives kept intersecting long before they were actually friends. We talk about being pregnant at the same time, wildly different pregnancy experiences, and how comparison shows up in motherhood, bodies, and life choices. We get into how our faces, bodies, and priorities have changed over the years, why noticing things like seatbelts and jawlines becomes a wake-up call, and why goals matter if you actually want to change something. We also unpack the idea of accountability, investing in yourself, and whether a full-blown Nacho Fitness Coach photo shoot might be the motivation we didn’t know we needed. Equal parts reflective, chaotic, and honest—just how we like it.Connect with us on social media!Instagram | TikTok | Threads | Youtube | Facebook | X (Twitter) | WebsiteThis podcast offers health, fitness, and nutritional information and is designed for educational and entertainment purposes only.

In this episode of Nacho Fitness Coach, Caleigh and Sara unpack a real-life situation that sparked a bigger conversation about fit shaming, body positivity, and where personal responsibility fits into health. We talk about bloating, food discomfort, “reading the room,” and why expressing how your body feels shouldn’t be treated as a moral failure. Along the way, we dig into BMI, body composition, carbs, protein, and the difference between loving your body and ignoring your health. This episode is an honest, nuanced conversation about boundaries, accountability, and choosing your hard—without apologizing for it.Connect with us on social media!Instagram | TikTok | Threads | Youtube | Facebook | X (Twitter) | WebsiteThis podcast offers health, fitness, and nutritional information and is designed for educational and entertainment purposes only.

In this episode, Caleigh and Sara talk about intensity—what it actually means, why most adults avoid it, and how doing slightly harder things for less time might be the missing piece in your fitness routine.We get into why sprinting, jumping, and pushing your limits have quietly disappeared from adult life, and why that matters for strength, conditioning, bone health, and long-term mobility. We break down how short bursts of high-intensity work can deliver real benefits without requiring endless workouts, and why constantly choosing the “easier” option may be costing you more than you realize.We also talk about squatting, getting up and down off the floor, impact training, and why losing these basic movements isn’t a normal part of aging—it’s a sign you stopped practicing them.If you’ve ever felt stuck doing the same workouts over and over, convinced you need more time instead of a different approach, this episode is your reminder that sometimes the answer isn’t longer… it’s harder (for a minute or two).Connect with us on social media!Instagram | TikTok | Threads | Youtube | Facebook | X (Twitter) | WebsiteThis podcast offers health, fitness, and nutritional information and is designed for educational and entertainment purposes only.

In this episode, Caleigh and Sara dive into how AI is showing up in fitness, training decisions, and everyday health — whether we like it or not. We break down how artificial intelligence can actually be useful for things like programming workouts, adjusting training based on soreness, and making sense of data, without handing over all your common sense to a robot.We talk about where AI helps and where it absolutely doesn’t, why context still matters more than any algorithm, and how knowing what questions to ask is just as important as the answers you get. We also unpack the growing fear around AI replacing jobs, what this means for trainers and coaches, and why adapting beats pretending this isn’t happening.Along the way, we get into the risks of over-reliance, the difference between guidance and outsourcing your brain, and why the human side of coaching — judgment, experience, and accountability — still can’t be automated. This episode isn’t about hype or panic; it’s about using new tools wisely, staying critical, and remembering that your body isn’t a spreadsheet.Connect with us on social media!Instagram | TikTok | Threads | Youtube | Facebook | X (Twitter) | WebsiteThis podcast offers health, fitness, and nutritional information and is designed for educational and entertainment purposes only.

This week on Nacho Fitness Coach, Caleigh and Sara tackle the growing trend of hormone-focused fitness advice and the way women are being sold complexity disguised as empowerment. We break down cycle syncing, menopause protocols, and “hormone fixes,” and explain why none of them replace the basics. We talk about how fear-based marketing makes women feel broken, why simplicity actually works at every stage of life, and how exercise, nutrition, protein, fiber, and movement still matter—no matter your age or hormones. If fitness feels confusing or expensive, this episode is your reminder that you don’t need a special program to take care of your body.Connect with us on social media!Instagram | TikTok | Threads | Youtube | Facebook | X (Twitter) | WebsiteThis podcast offers health, fitness, and nutritional information and is designed for educational and entertainment purposes only.

In this episode on Nacho Fitness Coach, Caleigh and Sara hit a big milestone—three years of podcasting together. We take some time to reflect on how this whole thing started, the many directions it’s gone, and the countless laughs along the way. We ramble (as usual), reminisce, and talk about the small things that somehow turned into something pretty meaningful. We also want to say a huge thank you to everyone who’s tuned in, stuck around, shared the show, or told us they listen while walking, lifting, or laying on the floor questioning their life choices. We appreciate you more than you know, and we’re excited to keep doing this with you.Connect with us on social media!Instagram | TikTok | Threads | Youtube | Facebook | X (Twitter) | WebsiteThis podcast offers health, fitness, and nutritional information and is designed for educational and entertainment purposes only.

This week on Nacho Fitness Coach, Caleigh and Sara dive into what was supposed to be a simple, wholesome experiment that somehow turned into a full-blown lifestyle disruption: raising meat chickens. Caleigh walks us through how a few innocent chicks quickly became a daily responsibility, an emotional rollercoaster, and a crash course in “oh wow, this is actually happening.”We laugh (a lot) about the things no one tells you when you decide to raise your own food, while also getting real about discomfort, responsibility, and what it means to opt out of convenience—even when you wildly underestimate what you’re signing up for. Somehow, this ridiculous chicken story turns into a bigger conversation about intentional choices, modern detachment from food, and doing hard things without romanticizing them.It’s chaotic, uncomfortable, unexpectedly thoughtful, and proof that sometimes the lesson shows up disguised as meat birds.Connect with us on social media!Instagram | TikTok | Threads | Youtube | Facebook | X (Twitter) | WebsiteThis podcast offers health, fitness, and nutritional information and is designed for educational and entertainment purposes only.

In this episode, Caleigh and Sara get real about the mental load of “being healthy” and why modern wellness can feel like a full-time job. We talk about how tracking everything (sleep, steps, water, HRV, supplements, macros, deep sleep percentages, you name it) can turn into stress instead of support, and how the constant stream of conflicting fitness advice makes it even harder to know what actually matters.We also dig into the difference between helpful structure and neurotic optimization, why “just start with a 20-minute walk” is both valid and kind of wild in today’s sedentary world, and how we’re trying to simplify: quality food, movement, water, sleep… and letting the rest be optional. Plus: a mini rant about recycling rules, sleep trackers that roast you daily, and the holy grail of routines that don’t require you to become a robot.Connect with us on social media!Instagram | TikTok | Threads | Youtube | Facebook | X (Twitter) | WebsiteThis podcast offers health, fitness, and nutritional information and is designed for educational and entertainment purposes only.

This week on Nacho Fitness Coach, Caleigh and Sara test whether cottage cheese deserves its viral, high-protein glow-up or if the internet has officially gone too far. We taste our way through cottage cheese pizza bowls, ranch dip, chocolate pudding, and a surprisingly legit strawberry “ice cream,” all with zero practice runs and very honest reactions. We talk texture issues, protein hacks, what actually tastes good, and whether any of these swaps are worth making in real life. If you’ve been side-eyeing cottage cheese all over your feed and wondering if it’s genius or garbage, this episode finds out so you don’t have to.Connect with us on social media!Instagram | TikTok | Threads | Youtube | Facebook | X (Twitter) | WebsiteThis podcast offers health, fitness, and nutritional information and is designed for educational and entertainment purposes only.

This mid-season episode of Nacho Fitness Coach features Kathy Barron, Founder and Editor-in-Chief of Women Who Podcast Magazine and host of the Women Who Sarcast podcast, joining us to talk about one of our favorite uncomfortable topics: fitness cults.We get into how certain fitness programs, brands, and “communities” start out motivational and somehow end up requiring unwavering loyalty, strict rules, and a suspicious lack of questions. Totally normal stuff. We talk about hype culture, influencer authority, and how fitness can quietly shift from something you do into something you’re expected to believe.As always, there are side tangents, sarcasm, and a healthy amount of unserious commentary—but the point still lands: fitness should support your life, not become your personality. And if your workout plan feels more like a belief system than a tool…well. You’re not wrong to think that’s kinda weird.Women Who Podcast MagazineWomen Who Podcast Magazine InstagramWomen Who Sarcast InstagramListen to Women Who Sarcast on your favorite podcast platform!Connect with us on social media!Instagram | TikTok | Threads | Youtube | Facebook | X (Twitter) | WebsiteThis podcast offers health, fitness, and nutritional information and is designed for educational and entertainment purposes only.

This week on Nacho Fitness Coach, Caleigh and Sara dive into the idea of “death by 1,000 papercuts” and how the tiniest daily choices can quietly shape your energy, your mood, and your health. We break down the viral wellness concept from Higher Up Wellness and talk about why so many of us feel exhausted, foggy, or stuck even when nothing “big” is wrong.From skipped walks to chaotic sleep to the invisible drain of everyday habits, we explore how those papercuts add up—and more importantly, how small, realistic changes can start healing them. Of course, it wouldn’t be an episode without tangents, including Caleigh’s nose crisis, butt compliments, fashion trends we refuse to follow, and a full roast of Nebraska aesthetic pressures.If you’ve felt tired for so long that it started to feel normal, or you’re ready to make progress without overhauling your entire life, this episode is a nudge back toward taking care of future-you—one tiny habit at a time.Connect with us on social media!Instagram | TikTok | Threads | Youtube | Facebook | X (Twitter) | WebsiteThis podcast offers health, fitness, and nutritional information and is designed for educational and entertainment purposes only.

This week on Nacho Fitness Coach, we’re talking about weighted vests — or more accurately, the internet’s obsession with convincing everyone they need one. We break down what these things actually do, why they’ve suddenly become the new personality trait on TikTok, and whether strapping 20 extra pounds to your body is helping you reach your goals… or just helping influencers sell gear.Sara brings the facts (and a rant, obviously), explaining why running already gives your joints 12–15 times your bodyweight and maybe—just maybe—you don’t need to toss a vest on top of that. Meanwhile, Caleigh discovers that the pockets are perfect for snacks, which is honestly the strongest argument for buying one.We dig into marketing vs. reality, strength training vs. shortcuts, and why people will do absolutely anything except lift heavy weights. If you’ve ever Googled “weighted vest benefits” after seeing a hot girl jog with one, this episode is for you.Moral of the story? If TikTok told you to do it… maybe double-check with two tired moms and a microphone first.Connect with us on social media!Instagram | TikTok | Threads | Youtube | Facebook | X (Twitter) | WebsiteThis podcast offers health, fitness, and nutritional information and is designed for educational and entertainment purposes only.

This week on Nacho Fitness Coach, Caleigh and Sara dive into a TED Talk from Dr. Jamie Seeman—aka Dr. Fit and Fabulous—to unpack why building muscle is one of the most powerful things women can do for their long-term health.We talk through the myths that keep women out of the weight room, the difference between training for aesthetics vs. training for longevity, and why strong women truly are healthier women.In true Nacho fashion, we also detour into birthday gift chaos, mom guilt, stadium stairs, bra straps, and a fly murder that absolutely no one asked for.Whether you're already lifting or just trying to get your steps in while your kids are at practice, this episode will give you a fresh, empowering perspective on strength training—without the pressure, perfectionism, or fitness-bro nonsense.Connect with us on social media!Instagram | TikTok | Threads | Youtube | Facebook | X (Twitter) | WebsiteThis podcast offers health, fitness, and nutritional information and is designed for educational and entertainment purposes only.

This week on Nacho Fitness Coach, Caleigh and Sara dive into a listener question that hits way too close to home: “Do I always have to have a goal, or can I just… be content?” We talk about what it really feels like to be in a midlife season where you’re not chasing a major transformation — you’re just trying to maintain your routine, your sanity, and maybe your calves.We dig into why maintenance is actually one of the hardest goals to commit to, the pressure to always be “improving,” and what it means to let yourself coast without feeling guilty. And because it’s us, there’s also plenty of breakfast drama, lazy-girl fitness eras, and unsolicited calf compliments.If you’re thriving, surviving, or floating somewhere in between, this episode is your reminder that midlife doesn’t have to be a crisis… sometimes it’s just a vibe.Connect with us on social media!Instagram | TikTok | Threads | Youtube | Facebook | X (Twitter) | WebsiteThis podcast offers health, fitness, and nutritional information and is designed for educational and entertainment purposes only.

We’re diving into why so many people think suffering equals progress and how “cutting calories” can quickly turn into cutting corners.We talk about what an aggressive cut really means, how to tell the difference between fat loss and full-on burnout, and why eating like a normal human might actually be the key to better results.We’re calling out diet culture, unpacking the glorification of hunger, and reminding you that starving isn’t a flex.

This week on Nacho Fitness Coach, Caleigh and Sara take “Would You Rather” to a whole new level of chaos. What starts as a harmless game quickly turns into a deep dive into our worst ideas and most questionable choices. From running a 5K in Crocs to doing leg day in cowboy boots, we put ourselves through a series of hypothetical disasters that somehow feel a little too real.Along the way, we talk about why we overthink simple decisions, how we justify bad ones, and why it’s usually better to just laugh it off. It’s the kind of episode that proves we should never be left unsupervised—but also why that’s what makes it fun.It’s part fitness, part therapy, and mostly nonsense… just how we like it.Connect with us on social media!Instagram | TikTok | Threads | Youtube | Facebook | X (Twitter) | WebsiteThis podcast offers health, fitness, and nutritional information and is designed for educational and entertainment purposes only.
