Summary

Your training environment, it’s a variable we all acknowledge as being relevant and important, but it’s rarely discussed in depth. In this episode, we give this topic the attention it deserves. What are the pros and cons of commercial gyms of various types? What are the pros and cons of home gyms? Collectively, we’ve both been personal trainers in multiple gym and studio environments, and personally, we ourselves have trained in a wide array of commercial, boutique, hardcore, specialty, military, and community gyms. In this episode we do a deep dive on how to find and cultivate the best training environment possible for one’s personality and goals.

I feel like we've been here before.

0:07.1

Are you having a bit of deja vu?

0:10.1

A little bit of deja vu.

0:11.7

And now, scientists will say that, of course, the moment has not happened twice.

0:17.8

In fact, what is happening is that there's some associative properties going on where

0:21.8

you think that you're experiencing something that happened before, but in fact, it is brand spanking

0:26.4

new for you. Eric, this does feel like deja vu what we're about to talk about. I must confess.

0:32.7

Well, you know what that means in reality, if you base it on documentaries.

0:40.1

Yeah. Is that they've changed something.

0:46.6

Thank you. Yeah. No, that. So I was feeling this because, folks, I do believe sincerely that we recorded this episode and never released it. And I'm not sure what happened, but here we are again.

0:51.9

Here we go again. Allegedly, one of the hosts, not the one, not the hunky one in New Zealand. So this, again, this is all hearsay. You can't trust the internet, right? You know how they are after you. May or may not have recorded with a faulty SD card. Thus, forever losing, I'm going to be frank here,

1:12.5

this is the one that got away. We all have that, you know, person, thing, event, moment in time,

tribute in a song, that this isn't the greatest song in the world, it's just a tribute.

1:28.3

This episode may in fact just be a tribute to the episode that is now lost in the annals of time.

1:36.4

Yeah, and all that is left is really an Easter egg, actually, because if you were to listen to our last duo episode, you might have heard me refer to our prior episode on the training environment. And you might have thought, that's weird. That's, that's interesting. I don't remember that one. But there are over 170 episodes. And these guys talk about nonsense all the time maybe that was a bit maybe this is a bit

what the hell Eric was talking about indeed what we were talking about is this lost episode and

2:11.6
