Trainer Talk Episode 5! Turning Setbacks into Success
Hey Fitness Fam!
It's the first Monday of the month, which means we have a new podcast episode for you: Turning Setbacks into Success
[Sidenote: We may or may not be laughing at our collective attempt at a “Podcast Complete” at the very end (we have some work to do) 😄]
Back to the episode...
Life doesn’t always make fitness easy—and if you’ve been at this long enough, you know setbacks are pretty much guaranteed at some point.
In Trainer Talk Episode 5, we’re diving into a topic that comes up all the time in our community: how to navigate setbacks in health and fitness. Injuries, illness, aging, busy seasons of life, unexpected curveballs—these moments can be frustrating, discouraging, and sometimes even make you question your progress altogether.
In this episode, myself and the team have an honest, supportive conversation about what setbacks really mean—and what they don’t. We talk about common negative thought patterns that show up when something interrupts your routine, why setbacks are actually a normal part of any long-term fitness journey, and how to redefine success during harder seasons without giving up on yourself.
You’ll also hear personal stories from the team, including Nicole and Erica’s experiences navigating pregnancy and postpartum fitness, Patrice’s ear debacle, and Tasha and Brian’s journeys back to movement after injuries. These real-life examples bring the conversation to life and remind us that no one’s path is perfectly smooth—and that’s completely normal.
Whether you’re currently working through a setback or just want to be better prepared when one inevitably shows up, this episode offers perspective, reassurance, and practical ways to keep moving forward—at your own pace.
