Get Started

from Training Partners · host Weezy Shumaker and Justin McClintock

This week, we're talking about GETTING STARTED — and all the reasons and ways we often talk ourselves out of it. Weezy breaks down the fallacy of the right versus wrong time, why waiting for the perfect moment almost always becomes never, and how perfectionism can actually be our inadvertent armor against a lurking fear of failure. We dig into 'all-or-nothing' thinking, and why it keeps people stuck, how you can identify the best first step (without letting 'do more research' cosplay as progress), and why carving out imperfect but realistic time beats waiting for 90 magical minutes you'll never have. We also talk about what it looks like to try to chase a past version of yourself — and why the thing that worked four years ago might not be what works now. Then Justin has a pretty lazy segment, which went better than expected (cable pull-throughs, Planet Fitness cancellation policy, and a genuinely wholesome post about what it actually means to look the part as a trainer). Strong takes held loosely.
