fitness trends

Ever wondered why your gym buddies are suddenly squatting more than they're bench pressing? Join Coach Austin and Kevin "iRab" Irabagon in a lively discussion from our revamped studio about the fresh fitness waves making their way into 2024. We're delving into the rise of men targeting those glutes and shifting the spotlight from the traditional upper body obsession to embracing comprehensive strength. Alongside, we've got anecdotes from the gym floor that'll have you in stitches – think impromptu dance-offs and prosthetic hand shenanigans. Plus, get the lowdown on why your glutes might not be responding to your workouts, and meet the 'peach daddies' who are redefining what it means to be fit as a fiddle.

But that's not all we've got poppin'! Gen Z is bringing the heat with dance workouts that would even have Richard Simmons doing a double take. We're talking about the fusion of classic cardio and modern moves that's setting the fitness world alight. With every step and beat, we're also breaking down the psychological side of staying active – it's not all about the gains, but the journey and joy that comes with it. Whether you're a barbell lifter or an Olympic lifter, there's room for you in this diverse fitness landscape. So tune in, strut your stuff, and let's celebrate personal victories without getting tripped up in the comparison game.

Matthew Baitieri is the Founder of Box 2 Business. His goal is to bring all the knowledge he's gathered over the last 8 years of running his business and share it with other gym owners worldwide. Throughout his journey, he's had several business coaches, and they taught him a little on how to grow a fitness business and a lot on how NOT to coach gym owners.

Matthew is all about serving the little guy and believes no two gyms are the same.

On this episode of the gymOS Podcast, Matthew and Dan find common ground and discuss how making a virtual assistant a part of your team is a GAME CHANGER!
