Under the Barbell, Over the Bullsh!t
Welcome to Under the Barbell, Over the Bullsh!t -- the podcast where 2 coaches, Sophia and Kristin, cut through the noise of the fitness world and empower women to live for more than a before-and-after photo.
If you feel like you're hopping from diet to diet like it's your full-time job, or have ever thought to yourself:
"There's so much conflicting information out there, I just don't know where to start."
"I've always been taught to just eat less and move more, but it's not working."
"I'm over diet culture but still want to get strong."
"I just want answers about fitness and nutrition without the gimmicks"
"I want to focus on what my body can do, not just how it looks."
"I'm sick of the scale dictating my mood."
This isn’t your average health podcast. If you're ready for strong opinions, simple sh!t that actually works, and zero shame — pull up a seat, grab your coffee (or your pre-workout) and hit play.
Your new anti-diet culture BFF's have arrived.
