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.

Episode 5 - Son of an Immigrant, Father to Daughters
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this special Father’s Day solo episode, I reflect on the man who raised me, my father, an immigrant who came to this country with nothing but grit and a dream and how his sacrifices shaped the father I’m trying to be today.
From the lessons he taught in silence to the strength he carried without recognition, I share what it means to be his son… and now, a father to two daughters of my own. I also talk about the emotional experience of filming my first Father’s Day strength class with Tonal, and what it meant to have my girls there, watching.
This one’s about legacy, fatherhood, and the reps that matter most.
