Fish & A Rice Cake
Our explicit opinions, rants, mistakes and lessons from our lives in fitness!
Join Jake & Jake on the couch,
Every week we sit down to spill the beans on all the little dark and dirty secrets of the fitness industry.
There's some good, some bad and definitely some ugly!
We're going to give you everything we know to help you cut through the fitness 'guff' that plagues our screens and minds.
We're keeping it simple, straightforward and if you've got a sh*t sense of humour like us, just a bit entertaining.
(But not too entertaining, we can't have Jake thinking he could make it in stand up again!)
So whap the kettle on, put your feet up and prepare yourself,
For the (actually educated) fitness rants of two normal blokes/coaches at the top of their game!
