Ep 24 - Empower yourself w/Christina McCormack

On this Episode, Andrew is joined by Christina McCormack. We discuss how the fitness industry as a whole is letting women down in how it treats women and their health and fitness and so Christina decided to change that. We go over her career path from starting out as a newly qualified PT to now owning her own facility, Empowered, and how she is making a real impact on her clients.

Ep 23 - RE:Invent w/Keith Bigger

On this Episode we have Keith Bigger on to tell his story of transitioning from the military to the gym floor. How he and his wife took a chance and opened a new facility in Magherafelt during Covid and through hard work and determination turned into a thriving gym with an unbelievable culture.

We talk about the laughs he and Andrew had when they first met 5 years ago as aspiring young coaches and why he loves challenging people. Plus why MJ Lennon and himself came up with Re:Con (the experience every male needs in their life), as well as discussing how men need to get better at opening up to one another.
