What does it take to lift over 23,834kg in a single hour? We’re joined by world-record holder and personal trainer Megan Kelly to discuss the mental and physical grit required to achieve a Guiness World Record. But this isn't just a talk about stats; it’s a deep dive into the heart of coaching.
Megan opens up about the resilience she gained from her successful and "failed" record attempts, her journey of opening her own studio, and why she recently decided to become a total beginner again by learning calisthenics. We explore her person-centered philosophy and why her primary metric for success isn't just a number on a scale, but the happiness of the people she coaches.
In this episode, we discuss:
The logistics and mindset of a world record.
How to handle setbacks and turn them into professional growth.
Why staying a "student" makes you a better coach for your clients.
In this episode, Claire chats with Steffie Murray to explore her journey as a competitive strongwoman, from discovering the sport to becoming Scotland’s Strongest Woman, Britain’s Strongest Woman, and finishing second in the world. Steffie shares what drew her to strongman competition, the variety of events that keep her motivated, and how the sport has transformed her confidence, discipline and relationship with her body.
We dive into the realities of training for strongwoman competitions, including how Steffie structures her strength sessions, event days, and recovery work to stay healthy and competitive. The conversation also covers her role as a PT as well as looking ahead to the future of women’s strongman and Steffie’s commitment to competing as a natural athlete while maintaining integrity in the sport.

What is it actually like to be on the receiving end of our coaching? To find out, we’ve flipped the script. In this episode, Maggie sits down with three of her own clients, Mara, Helen, and Eleanor, to get the unvarnished truth from the gym floor.
From the initial nerves of walking into a gym to the specific things a coach does that build (or break) trust, these women share their honest experiences of the fitness industry. We talk about what keeps them motivated, how they balance training with high-pressure lives, and what they wish all PTs knew about the client experience. If you’ve ever wondered what your clients are really thinking, this episode is for you.
In this episode, we discuss:
"Green flags" and "Red flags" from a client’s perspective.
Why community and safety often matter more than the workout.
The reality of balancing fitness goals with real-world stressors.
