Description

Can a 21‑minute workout twice a week rival seven hours at the gym? PJ Glassy, founder of XGym, explains the science and systems behind ultra‑efficient “time under tension” training, how nerve training boosts coordination and results, and why chasing complete muscle fatigue matters more than gadgets. You’ll hear how XGym blends controlled reps, method cycling, and smart equipment like load‑cell winch machines, vibration platforms, and precise VO2 and body‑comp testing to deliver strong, lean outcomes without bulk. We also dig into wearables, the promise and limits of AI coaches and robotics, and why EMF awareness and hard work still beat any shortcut.

What you’ll learn:

  • How to structure a 3‑minute set for strength and endurance without joint‑pounding loads  
  • A simple diet experiment framework: commit 100% for 3 months to find what actually lowers body fat  
  • When Mediterranean vs. low‑carb approaches make sense, and how to avoid common fitness plateaus  
  • Practical ways to use fitness tech for feedback and motivation without letting it replace fundamentals  
  • Why “train to true fatigue” is the lever that drives strength, definition, and real‑world fitness

This conversation is for anyone who wants more fitness in less time, with a clear path to sustainable progress and smarter use of technology.
