Sweat, Shame & Strength: Fitness Culture in Our 20s, 30s & 40s

In this episode of The Perk & Pace Podcast, hosts Lydia and Matt get real about how their relationships with training have evolved—from body image battles and performance pressure to finding strength, purpose, and joy in movement.

Lydia opens up about growing up in the “nothing tastes as good as skinny feels” era, how that mindset shaped her early relationship with exercise, and what it took to shift from training as punishment to training for performance and self-worth. Matt reflects on his time as a competitive athlete, where the focus was all about achievements—and how he's now found freedom in training for love of the process.

We look back at our 20s, 30s, and Producer Ian’s 40s, unpacking the cultural fads, expectations, and mindset shifts that shaped us—and why we now train for longevity, strength, and health over aesthetics or validation.

 Whether you're new to training or a seasoned athlete, this one’s for you. Tune in for honest chat, a few laughs, and maybe even a little inspo to rethink why you move.

 Listen now, share it with a mate, and don’t forget to like, subscribe, and leave us a review.
We’d love to hear your own journey with fitness—message us on socials or tag us in your story!
