Reps & Real Talk with Papi
Reps & Real Talk with Papi is where strength meets real life.
Hosted by Luis — a father, tech geek & fitness enthusiast. This podcast is about more than just sets and reps. It’s about showing up for yourself, your family, and your mental health, even when life gets heavy.
Each episode dives into the raw, unfiltered conversations that happen behind the scenes of strength training, fatherhood, and personal growth. From gym talk and goal setting to mindset, mental health, and what it means to be present — nothing’s off limits.
Whether you're crushing workouts, chasing toddlers, or trying to stay grounded through it all — you’re not alone. Let’s lift heavy, live real, and grow together.
