Hey there, it's Nina Silic! On this exciting episode of Sips and Sets, I sit down with the incredible Adam Patient, a fellow coach who's taken an amazing journey in the world of health and fitness. Adam shares his inspiring transformation from being a self-conscious, skinny kid to becoming a confident and motivating fitness coach. We chat about how drama school surprisingly nudged him toward fitness, helping him turn insecurities into strengths. It's all about breaking through barriers and finding your own path! We also dive into the pressures of the performance world, where looks can define opportunities, and how those experiences shaped our journeys. Adam opens up about the challenges of stepping into new gym environments, and he shares some fantastic advice on overcoming those initial fears. Whether you're new to fitness or have been hitting the gym for years, there's something here for you! Adam also shares his incredible achievements, from conquering ultramarathons to diving into the intense world of Hyrox competitions. If you’ve ever been curious about mixing strength and endurance training, or if the gym feels a bit intimidating, you’ll find tons of inspiration in Adam’s story.
