info_outlineCan a workout really fix your mental health? In this episode of The 3Gs Fitness Podcast, the coaches dive into the connection between exercise and mental health and things get heated.
Coach Michael brings his old school no nonsense perspective: the gym is for training, not talking about feelings. Meanwhile, Coach Cisco and Coach Kael argue that personal training goes beyond sets and reps, and that supporting clients’ mental health is just as important as building strength.
From exercise as an antidepressant, to whether trainers should act like life coaches, to the generational clash in coaching styles, this debate will make you rethink what the gym is really for.
