Episode 46 of the Indomitable Resistance Podcast covers the hosts’ emotional transition from their Melbourne gym to regional Queensland, the burnout and business decisions that led to the move, and the response from their community. They discuss selling the gym, shifting to online and men’s coaching, family road trips, and plans to become more self-sufficient.

Episode 44: The hosts announce a fast, major life and business change - selling their Melbourne warehouse and equipment and relocating to Yeppoon, Queensland.

They explain the quick timeline (about three weeks), how the current gym will be taken over by new operators with affordable memberships, and how athletes will continue to be supported remotely. The move aims to restore health, family time, and better energy while growing the brand differently.
Stay tuned for next week’s episode where they’ll share the full backstory and more details behind the decision.
