Carolyn and Laura combine girl talk and critical analysis to look at fitness media and trends through an anti-diet lens. They help listeners develop their fitness literacy to become smarter consumers of the fitness industry (while still having fun in the gym and on the internet). Think of it like getting advice from your big sister's friends but instead of dating and fashion they teach you how to not get scammed by the fitness industry's latest snake oil salesman.

(Sorry about the echo - I did what I could) Surprise! Laura was in Florida so of course we recorded an episode! Let's see how many trends we predict correctly this year. Thank you for listening! More content to come this year :)
We brought on dietitian Clara Nosek to talk about the MAHA movement, explain what it's like to work with a dietitian, and answer your questions! You can follow Clara on all platforms @yourdietitianbff and subscribe to her substack, The Supper Clerb . Thanks for listening! Get bonus content and early access to all episodes on Patreon
Kayla Itsines backlash, morning routine final boss, and fine, we'll talk about skinnytok (even though we hate that we feel like we have to)
Join the Patreon for exclusive content and video versions of episodes! We didn't get to everything we wanted to in the end of year Q&A, so we're finishing the job! In this episode we answered questions about what to do when you don't like lifting, managing your relationship with metrics, dealing with diet triggers, and Carolyn's experience with long COVID.
We peered into our crystal balls to divine predictions for the new year. Enjoy the episode while we go touch some grass (:
(We don't actually do 2025 predictions in this episode) We're rounding out the year with a look back at 2024 highs and lows and listener Q's! For bonus content and video versions of all episodes, join the Patreon
Emergency mini episode! We're going ghost mode and to share our thoughts on the "winter arc" trend.
Run Clubs - they're in your city. Crowding the sidewalks, stinking up breweries, and, apparently, replacing dating apps. In this episode we investigate (with many lengthy tangents) why this long time fitness staple is experiencing a surge in popularity. Is the hype real? Are people really finding love at the run club?
We're going back to our roots with a classic fitness industry deep dive! Today we're covering two iconic indoor cycling brands - SoulCycle and Peloton. *Note*: At a couple points Carolyn refers to one of the founders of SoulCycle as Ruth Zuckerberg. This is incorrect- Her name is Ruth Zuckerman.
