Thighs, Fries and Gay Guys 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Craig is the OG EveryDay Gay and this episode gets into the messy bit between “I want results” and “I’d also quite like a life, thanks.”We chat photoshoot fitness, comparing yourself to other gay men, emotional-support biscuits, bottomless brunches, missed workouts, scale-weight stress and learning that getting fitter doesn’t need to become your entire personality.Plus Russell Tovey, some deeply questionable Wicked opinions and why broccoli may be a legitimate relationship threat in our quick fire roundFitness. Feelings. Fries. And being a little less of a dk to yourself. 🌈🍟

This week on Thighs, Fries & Gay Guys, I’m joined by the fabulous Fiona: Zumba queen, rainbow-legging icon and proof that it’s never too late to take up space.We chat trans joy, body image, finding safe spaces in fitness and how Zumba went from “terrifying" to full-blown queer therapy with fabulous music. There’s laughter, tears, malted milk trauma and a lot of chat about what it means to finally feel at home in your own skin.It’s funny, honest and a proper reminder that movement should feel like freedom, not punishment.

From cycling shorts that were the only thing that fit me at school to sipping port in the bath while coming out at 13, to spray tans in the garage (thanks Mum), heartbreak Zumba classes, and finally finding my confidence in the gym and beyond this is my origin story.In this episode of Thighs, Fries, and Gay Guys, I crack open my teenage diaries (brace yourselves, it’s a vibe 🤣) and share how I went from camp, chubby Cov kid to coaching gay and trans men who want to build thicc thighs, eat fries and finally feel at home in their bodies.Expect:✨ Teenage angst and dramatic diary entries✨ Coming out stories (feat. Steps and Gay Times)✨ How is stumbled into fitness (literally, I nearly fell off a treadmill checking out a fit lad)✨ How heartbreak, Zumba, and weights changed everythingThis isn’t a sob story- it’s a story of sass, survival, and rewriting the ending. If you’ve ever felt like fitness “wasn’t for you,” or that you don’t fit the mould of the “typical gay body,” this episode is proof you can still create confidence, strength, and a body you actually enjoy living in.So grab some fries, show off those thighs, and let’s get into it.
