Welcome to episode 1 of the Out of Bounds podcast with Jake Williamson and Sam Leicht.

In today's episode we'll be answering your (gay) questions, revealing your coming out stories, chatting about locker room showers, and SO MUCH MORE 🙌

Here's what to expect:

Hosted by pro HYROX athlete Jake Williamson and health entrepreneur Sam Leicht, Out of Bounds is where queer identity collides with sport, culture, and everything in between. From training diaries and body image to dating, stigma, and performance — it’s unfiltered talk at full speed.

The host dynamic is rooted in lived experience: Jake brings the firsthand perspective of an openly gay athlete competing in elite sport in the UK, while Sam offers sharp, culturally fluent commentary on health, masculinity, and queer identity in the U.S. Together, they bridge two continents with a shared mission: to make fitness and sport more visible, inclusive, and accessible for the LGBTQIA+ community.
