In episode 38 of the Platform to Perform Podcast I spoke with co-founder of GMB Fitness, Ryan Hurst. Ryan has an extensive background in martial arts, and competitive gymnastics, which guides his teaching and coaching with GMB Fitness. In today’s episode myself and Ryan discussed:

· his ‘contrarian’ approach to fitness, and how this philosophy underpins everything GMB fitness delivers

· his 5 P framework for individualising the teaching of any advanced movement skill

· how he uses movement exploration principles to guide adults towards physical autonomy and kids towards physical literacy

If Ryan could spend time with another coach observing their work, it would be the founder of Judo, Kano Jigoro
