Discover how Steven Scott and Shaun Preece tackle home fitness, gym motivation, and accessible workout tech, from Apple’s Workout Buddy to GCN cycling sessions, with a candid dose of humour and real-life experience.

Steven Scott and Shaun Preece dive into the realities of starting (and sticking with) an exercise routine at home. Shaun shares his journey back into fitness after years away from the gym, managing diabetes, and dealing with health scares. He explains how Apple’s Workout Buddy, the Apple Watch, and accessible audio tools like GCN’s cycling sessions help him stay motivated and track progress in an otherwise inaccessible home gym.  

The conversation flows into health awareness, the importance of seeing a doctor before starting fitness routines, and the pitfalls of online health misinformation. They discuss the mental barriers around exercise, the ups and downs of living with vision loss, and even the grey areas of adapting to life without sight. With plenty of humour—dogs, hernias, beanbags, and even bed baths—this episode balances light-hearted storytelling with practical advice for staying active and healthy.
