Fit for a Comeback was created specifically to help individuals rebuild their strength, fitness, and confidence after life’s setbacks.
There are two sides to every comeback: the deeply personal journey of overcoming physical, mental, or emotional challenges—and the practical steps it takes to reclaim your health, whether after an injury, surgery, or major life shift.
Hosted by Nick Venuti, a former chef whose own journey took a dramatic turn after chronic back pain and a trimalleolar ankle fracture, this podcast is rooted in experience. Frustrated by the healthcare system’s “band-aid” solutions, Nick went back to college in his late 20s to study exercise physiology. Since then, he’s built a business that helps everyone from professional athletes to everyday people regain their strength, overcome setbacks, and reclaim their lives.
Each weekly episode combines real-life stories, expert interviews, and actionable advice to guide you through the process of starting over and rising stronger. Whether you’re recovering from injury, surgery, or simply life’s curveballs, you’ll find the tools and inspiration to take charge of your fitness transformation.

EP05: Exercise is the Maintenance For The Body...Avoid It Now, and You’ll Pay for the Repairs Later
In this episode of Fit for a Comeback, I explore the concept of exercise as a vital part of daily maintenance, akin to caring for a car rather than a burdensome chore. I emphasize the importance of responding to our body's signals, using personal anecdotes to illustrate how consistent, gentle movement can address chronic issues effectively. The discussion highlights preventative fitness as a means to enhance long-term health outcomes and advocates for reframing exercise as a proactive choice rather than a reactive measure to health crises. I introduce a health barriers checklist to help listeners identify their challenges and set realistic fitness goals focused on functional movement. The key message is to prioritize maintenance and take immediate, small steps towards improving health, reinforcing that with the right mindset, everyone can cultivate a resilient, active lifestyle.
