What is up, everyone? Welcome back to the fitness stuff for normal people podcast. I'm Mariana.

And I'm Tony. And the truth is, even though it's 2024, the fitness industry still is not what it could be.

It's become something built on unrealistic expectations, aesthetics, and external validation, directing attention away from what actually matters.

The bottom line is, we're not trying to provide just another fitness podcast to completely change the fitness industry for better by giving you the knowledge and

tools so you have confidence in applying the best possible training and nutrition into your
