In this episode, I sit down with Adam Gray for a Coach Spotlight conversation focused on helping busy women, especially moms navigating perimenopause and menopause, get strong, lean, and confident without extreme plans or burnout. We talk about what actually changes as women get older, why most fitness advice misses the mark for this phase of life, and how coaching needs to adapt to stress, hormones, and real-world responsibilities.We also dig into simplifying training and nutrition, setting realistic expectations, and building systems that work long term instead of chasing quick fixes. If you’re a busy mom who feels stuck or a coach who wants to better support women through these transitions, this episode will help you rethink what sustainable progress really looks like.Tune in and follow Adam on his socials:Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/adamgray_coach?igsh=eTcxbjdyaTYxMXVzFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/adam.gray.31521Have the best day ever!

In this episode, I break down why going fast, taking messy action, and fully committing is the real shortcut to hitting your goals, especially in fitness and life. I share how my “burn the boats” mindset has shaped everything I’ve built, from opening my studio to launching this podcast, and why waiting for the perfect plan is usually the thing holding people back.I talk about how fear, overthinking, and comfort zones keep people stuck, while confidence and momentum come from action and follow-through. If you’ve been spinning your wheels, doubting yourself, or waiting for motivation, this episode is your wake-up call: commit, move, adapt, and keep going until you win.And if you want to transform your body, message me the word "Coaching" on IG at Tomthetrainerfitness, Facebook at Tom Mouland to book a Free Strategy Call to apply for coaching.Have the best day ever!

In this episode, I sit down with Anthony Pluff for a Coach Spotlight conversation all about helping dads get their fitness back without wrecking their lives in the process. We dig into why working with dads is so different from training anyone else, how schedules, stress, and family responsibilities change the game, and why simplicity is the real secret to long-term success.We also talk about systems over motivation, using your calendar to stay consistent, keeping nutrition simple, and why coaching is just as much psychological as it is physical.If you’re a dad trying to balance fitness, family, and real life, or a coach who wants to better understand how to support parents, this one’s packed with practical takeaways you can actually apply.Tune in and follow Anthony on his socials:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/aplufftraining?igsh=ZXJkZTJoYjZ4aDBx Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/share/1AeLvyargt/?mibextid=wwXIfr Have the best day ever!

In this Live Q&A, I jumped in to answer a stack of questions that have been piling up coming out of the holidays.We dug deep into bulking the right way, how to gain muscle without just getting sloppy, why most guys mess this phase up, how I personally structure macros as food gets high, and when it’s time to stop pushing calories and hold instead of forcing growth. I also shared why intensity, recovery, and progression matter more than chasing volume or trends.We also got into training specifics, including tricep development and why overhead work matters so much if you actually want your arms to grow without destroying your elbows.I broke down how I think about exercise selection, hand positioning, carry angle, and why cables beat skull crushers for most people, plus how my own training shifted my physique even in my 40s.And if you want to transform your body, message me the word "Coaching" on IG at Tomthetrainerfitness, Facebook at Tom Mouland, or Book a Free Strategy Call 👉 https://tomthetrainerfitness.com/dominate to apply for coachingHave the best day ever!

In this episode, I sit down with Ryan Treadaway, and we dig into what it really takes to coach busy parents without burning them out. We talk about why most people don’t fail because they lack discipline, but because they start with plans that don’t fit their real lives. From training frequency to time constraints, recovery, and mindset, we break down how to build programs that actually work in practice, not just on paper.We also get deep into nutrition and behavior change, including why extremes backfire, how to build consistency through simple systems, and why willpower alone is never the answer. Ryan shares how he approaches calories, protein, fiber, flexibility, and food choices in a way that supports fat loss and real life, without cutting out everything you enjoy.If you’re a parent who wants to feel better, have more energy, and get results without sacrificing your family, sanity, or weekends, this conversation will help you rethink how you train, eat, and approach the long game.Tune in and follow Ryan on his socials:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ryan.treadaway/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ryan.treadawayHave the best day ever!

In this episode, I walk you through the mindset shift I’ve been leaning into lately, slowing down, creating more space, and getting brutally honest about how much energy we waste by trying to force everything. I share what I’ve been doing in my own life to get out of “constant grind mode,” how I’m learning to be more present with my son, my business, and myself, and why sometimes the most productive thing you can do is stop pushing so damn hard.You’ll hear me talk about the difference between discipline and self-punishment, how to recognize when your nervous system is completely tapped out, and what it actually feels like to operate from clarity instead of chaos. If you’ve been feeling stuck, tired, overwhelmed, or like you’re constantly working but not moving forward… this episode is exactly what you need.And if you want to transform your body, message me the word "Coaching" on IG at Tomthetrainerfitness, Facebook at Tom Mouland, or Book a Free Strategy Call 👉 https://tomthetrainerfitness.com/dominate to apply for coachingHave the best day ever!

In this episode, I’m live inside The Tribe answering your questions and giving you real coaching. I break down shoulder pain during side planks, how to spot rib and scap positioning issues, and why most people misunderstand what a “rib out of place” actually is. I also get into the mindset side of things, why it’s okay to have those days, why content creation (and fitness) is all about swinging the bat over and over, and how self-limiting beliefs sabotage progress long before lack of ability ever does.And if you want to transform your body, message me the word "Coaching" on IG at Tomthetrainerfitness, Facebook at Tom Mouland, or Book a Free Strategy Call 👉 https://tomthetrainerfitness.com/dominate to apply for coachingHave the best day ever!

In this episode, I break down the mindset traps that quietly sabotage your results, especially when life gets chaotic.I talk about why discipline isn’t about being perfect, but about learning to make strong decisions when emotions are high, stress is up, and your routine goes off track.I share how to recognize the “spiral moments” before they take over, how to anchor yourself back into structure, and how to regain control even on the days where nothing seems to go your way.I also walk through how to reconnect with your goals when motivation dips, why we often abandon the basics when we need them most, and how to rebuild momentum without guilt, shame, or all-or-nothing thinking.If you’ve been feeling stretched thin or frustrated with inconsistency, this one will hit home.And if you want to transform your body, message me the word "Coaching" on IG at Tomthetrainerfitness, Facebook at Tom Trainer Mouland, or Book a Free Strategy Call 👉 https://tomthetrainerfitness.com/dominate to apply for coachingHave the best day ever!

In this week’s Tribe Q&A, I went deep on the two things beginners struggle with most: building a diet that actually works and choosing the right training split. I break down why full-body training is the best place to start, why awareness beats every fad diet, and how planning your meals like you plan your work schedule is the real cheat code for long-term results.I also tackle questions around shoulder popping, training with injuries, adductor and abductor strength, and why some machines in the gym deserve every bit of hate they get. This one is packed with no-BS advice, practical fixes, and a whole lot of spicy Tom-isms.And if you want to transform your body, message me the word "Coaching" on IG at Tomthetrainerfitness, Facebook at Tom Trainer Mouland, or Book a Free Strategy Call 👉 https://tomthetrainerfitness.com/dominate to apply for coachingHave the best day ever!

In this week’s Tribe Q&A, I dive into some killer questions from the community, starting with why the hip thrust might not be the glute builder everyone thinks it is, and what I believe actually drives real muscle growth. I break down how to structure your workouts for maximum hypertrophy, why you need to earn the right to bulk, and how to stop spinning your wheels with the bulk–cut yo-yo. We also talk about why animal protein is king when it comes to building muscle, how to actually strengthen your ankles for better training, and I even go off a bit about science bros versus real-world experience in the gym.It’s raw, practical, and packed with straight talk for people who actually train hard.And if you want to transform your body, message me the word "Coaching" on IG at Tomthetrainerfitness, Facebook at Tom Trainer Mouland, or Book a Free Strategy Call 👉 https://tomthetrainerfitness.com/dominate to apply for coachingHave the best day ever!

We talked about what it really looks like to train when time isn’t on your side, how to lay a solid foundation before life gets busy, and why “anything is better than nothing” when it comes to movement.We also dove into how becoming a parent forces you to rethink priorities, fitness, faith, finances, and fun, and how to manage your capacity, distractions, and boundaries without losing yourself in the chaos.

In this week’s free coaching Q&A inside The Tribe, I’m answering your questions on low-carb diets while training, the best 3-day split for muscle growth, how to manage recovery on intense programs like the Cluster Muscle Method, and why consistency, not perfection, is what truly drives results.I share how I personally set up my carbs around workouts during a photoshoot prep, break down how to know when you need a deload, and explain why most people keep spinning their wheels by constantly switching approaches instead of mastering the basics.

In this episode, I sit down again with Adam Poehlmann and we dive into the truth behind fat loss, habits, and personal responsibility in fitness. We talk about why tracking and honesty matter so much, how excuses get reinforced by fitness marketing, and why it’s so important to empower people instead of coddling them. We also hit on social media culture, integrity as a coach, and what actually moves the needle when you’re trying to change your body, especially if you’re busy, over 30, and want sustainable results.If you’re tired of the “it’s your metabolism” narrative and want real talk about what it takes to level up, this one’s for you.Tune in and follow Adam on his socials:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/adampoehlmann?igsh=ZTJuM285OGowbG4wFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/share/1GnBaF2GQJ/?mibextid=wwXIfrHave the best day ever!

In this episode, I went off a bit, in a good way. We talked lunges, stability, and how to actually progress your lower-body training without wrecking your knees or spinning your wheels. I broke down why most people struggle with walking lunges, how to fix knee pain and wobbling, and when to regress an exercise to earn the right to progress it.And yeah… I also ranted about gym ego, influencer BS, and why most people need to stop chasing “aesthetic weak-point hacks” and master fundamentals first.

In this episode, I sit down with coach Casey Gilbert for an honest conversation on mindset, growth, and authenticity. We dive into how uncovering your true “why” can change everything, why mindset is the real catalyst behind physical results, and the power of tools like journaling, manifestation, and even recording messages to your future self.Casey and I also talk about seasons of life, learning to give yourself grace, and how resistance, whether in the gym or in life, can be the very thing that makes you stronger. This one goes beyond fitness and into the mindset shifts that help you win in every area of life.Tune in and follow Casey on his socials:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/caseyfgilbert/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/casey.gilbert.886712LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/casey-gilbert-8018b887Have the best day ever!

In this Live in the Tribe session, I dig into two big topics every lifter over 30 wonders about: stomach vacuums and deloads. I share my take on training your transverse abdominis (and why you don’t need to overcomplicate it), plus how I personally train core control for real strength and aesthetics. Then we dive into deloads, when you actually need them, why most people don’t, and how to tell the difference between a deload and a reload. I break down what I did coming out of my last photoshoot, how I eased back in, and what signs tell you it’s time to back off.If you’ve ever wondered how to train smarter without losing progress, and when to push versus when to recover, this one’s for you.And if you want to transform your body, message me the word "Coaching" on IG at Tomthetrainerfitness, Facebook at Tom Trainer Mouland, or Book a Free Strategy Call 👉 https://tomthetrainerfitness.com/dominate to apply for coachingHave the best day ever!
