Listen to our latest podcast episode of Inside SSP Episode 7 here

Your favorite round table is back, talking about 2 very important topics/questions we get a lot at SSP: Intimidation in a gym setting, and how often should you be working out? 

Listen in as we describe our own experience as coaches being intimidated in other gyms we might happen to workout at, and how we act/feel when we see someone who is looking intimidated in a new gym. Also, how often should you work out? 

We’ll answer with one of our favorite phrases- ‘it depends’. Sometimes just getting through your warm-up counts as a victory for the day 😌

As always, listen to our podcast on Spotify or Apple Podcasts 🎧

SSP coaches have been consulted with and featured in multiple publications and articles. We love spreading our philosophies and coaching to more people. Check these out!

INSIDE SSP 🎤 
We’re trying something new, and we think it’s pretty fun and special! We’re going to get together every so often to discuss all things SSP. As a team, we often find ourselves in good conversation on what we feel are important topics, often these conversations go a few layers deep & end up being meaningful. So, one day we thought – hey, maybe everyone else would want to hear some of these conversations and benefit from our thoughts on these topics. So, here we are: 

Introducing our new podcast: Inside SSP. Every few weeks, we’ll record about a 30-minute raw & honest conversation covering different topics such as: our core values, our programming, frequently asked questions, nutrition, general fitness industry, and more. Our first episode focuses on our core value #5 (people are capable of much more than they think they are) and gym inclusivity and safe spaces. 

Bear with us as we are very much in DIY mode here but hopefully you enjoy the conversation and hearing some insight from your coaches heads! Please let us know if there are topics you’d love to hear discussed in the comments 🎤🎧
