Why you SHOULD be in shape as a coach! Artwork

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!

Why you SHOULD be in shape as a coach!

February 27, 2025 • Jake • Season 2 • Episode 5

Thinking a coach should be in shape,

Is seen as controversial.

You get branded toxic, unrealistic, setting people up for issues with their body or food.

But is it really?

Or is it because the people who preach that couldn't get in shape themselves without issues,

So now they project that outcome onto everyone else…?

Ironically too,

You ask those same people to name some of the better known, followed and liked people in the industry and they say,

Your Jeff Nippards, Mike Thurstons, Layne Norton and Ben Carpenters.

And guess what they have in common?

They’re all IN SHAPE!

And look,

We’re not saying you HAVE to be in shape every minute of every day, year round.

Of course not.

But you have to at least have evidence you have been,

You have to be documenting your journey walking towards something.

Because at the end of the day,

Being in shape helps.

It helps you be a better coach,

It helps you get better results because clients trust you more and try harder,
And it makes you a busier coach,

And some people might not like that fact, but that doesn’t make it any less true.

So hold onto your hat for this one,

Because if you couldn’t tell already,

We’re about to get ranty…

So grab a cuppa,

Join us in the chairs

And get comfy,

For another episode of FIsh & a Rice Cake
