Mike "C-Roc" sits down with fitness industry leader and host of the Lift Free and Diet Hard podcast, Andrew Coates. With an unfiltered and candid vibe, the two dive into the state of the fitness industry, where Andrew shares his thoughts on the over-glorification of status and scale among coaches—and how his commitment remains rooted in coaching real people, day in and day out. Andrew opens up about his in-person and online coaching approach, his love for strength training, and the importance of behavioral psychology in achieving lasting health results. He discusses the science behind hypertrophy and debunks common myths around fat loss, muscle building, and optimal rep ranges. The conversation also explores the toxic tribalism in the fitness space, especially the online feuds between ideological camps promoting different training methods. Andrew emphasizes the need to stay focused, grounded, and purpose-driven, while maintaining integrity and avoiding the drama that often clouds the industry. This episode is a deep dive into the mindset and methods of a high-agency, mission-focused coach who's in it for the right reasons.Website-www.andrewcoatesfitness.comInstagram-https://www.instagram.com/andrewcoatesfitness/
#265 In this episode of Your Fitness Money Coach Podcast, I'm joined by fitness coach and writer Andrew Coates for a thought-provoking discussion about focusing on the person in front of you, rather than getting caught up in the pressure to "scale."

We also talk about the value of investing in yourself, which Andrew sees as essential for unlocking your true earning potential. What You'll Learn: Why "scaling" might not be the answer—focusing on quality over quantity and the benefits of serving clients directly. How client questions can be a powerful content creation tool to connect deeper with your audience. The importance of investing in yourself—how personal growth and learning can directly translate into business success and higher earnings. The role of financial mastery in building a sustainable fitness business that thrives long term.

(How to Become the Person Who Never Gives Up) In this ep, we explore the parallels between fitness and personal growth, the power of consistency, and how to embrace plateaus as part of the process. Andrew shares insights into overcoming self-sabotage, the compound effect of small habits, and shifting from aesthetics-focused goals to performance-driven empowerment. This conversation delves into mindset shifts, identity evolution, and the importance of aligning actions with long-term values. Tune in for a no-nonsense, relatable discussion packed with actionable advice to help you find joy in the journey and redefine what progress means for you. 1/ Plateaus Growth isn't linear; plateaus are inevitable and require mental resilience to push through. When progress slows, revisit your goals and adjust expectations. Are you letting plateaus demotivate you, or are you seeing them as a chance to refine your methods? 2/unrealistic expectations of rapid progress often lead to self-sabotage. Accepting slower progress reduces frustration. Reframe your mindset by focusing on long-term consistency rather than short-term perfection. What would you achieve if you embraced the process instead of fixating on speed? 3/Small, consistent actions lead to significant changes over time as described in The Compound Effect and The Slight Edge. Reflect on daily habits. Are they aligned with your long-term goals, or are they compounding toward stagnation? Coaching Helps Break Cycles. Coaches provide guidance to disrupt negative feedback loops, like self-sabotage or over-restriction, leading to sustainable habits. : If you're stuck, consider whether external guidance could help shift your perspective and actions. /Goals and values evolve with life stages. Holding onto outdated goals can create unnecessary frustration. Periodically reassess your goals. Are they still relevant, or are they rooted in past desires that no longer serve you? Progress Requires Patience and Consistency Success in fitness and social media often mirrors each other: it starts slow, feels repetitive, and seems stagnant, but consistency leads to exponential growth. Many people give up too soon because they don't see immediate results. Reflect on what small actions you can take today that could snowball into bigger achievements later. Learning Skills Leads to Faster Progress Just like mastering the basics of lifting (e.g., squats and deadlifts), mastering foundational skills in any endeavor allows for accelerated growth later. Are you building a strong foundation in your efforts? /By focusing on strength & health rather than just fat loss, people often achieve their goals as a byproduct. Are you prioritizing the wrong goal? What would happen if you shifted your focus to performance or well-being? /Social media highlights extremes, making people compare themselves to the "best of the best" rather than the average journey. Diversify your social media feed to include relatable journeys and focus on your progress. Are your comparisons inspiring or discouraging? /Identity is fluid and shaped by beliefs, language, actions. Fixed mindsets limit potential, while open ones allow growth. What language are you using about yourself? Are your beliefs helping or hindering your progress? /Emotional eating often stems from deeper issues like body image, which need addressing for long-term success. How do your habits reflect your emotions? What could you take to address the root? Saying “I'm not the type of person who…” creates mental barriers to growth. What might you achieve if you embraced flexibility in your identity? Obsessing over specific outcomes can lead to burnout. Enjoying the process creates sustainable progress. Strength training empowers people by shifting the focus from aesthetics to performance and capability. Keeping an open mind and flexible approach prepares you for changes in priorities or circumstances. @Andrewcoatesfitness @transformxruby

In today's episode of the Strong Jon Fitness Podcast, I get to chat with Andrew Coates. We discuss the complexities of fitness coaching, the importance of effective communication, and the challenges of misinformation in the industry. We explore how coaches can better connect with clients, the significance of evidence-based practices, and the societal influences that shape health choices. The discussion emphasizes personal responsibility and finding balance in life amidst overwhelming media consumption. In this conversation, Andrew and Jon discuss the pervasive influence of outrage culture and social media on mental health and personal well-being. They explore the balance between entertainment and self-care, the importance of understanding diverse opinions, and the dangers of engaging with rage bait and clickbait content. The discussion emphasizes the need for healthy boundaries in social media consumption and the impact of mental energy on daily life. Takeaways We often forget how much knowledge we have as coaches. Empathy is crucial in reaching the end user effectively. Effective communication is key to educating clients. Not all information available is beneficial or accurate. Scrolling mindlessly can detract from restorative time. Recognizing the impact of social media on daily life is crucial. Engaging with evidence-based resources is important for fitness.

Andrew Coates (@andrewcoatesfitness) is a personal trainer, writer, speaker, and the unofficial mayor of fitness. He trains clients both online and in-person, and is the host of the Lift Free and Diet Hard Podcast. Andrew is one of the best ambassadors for fitness today. His ability to connect people is unmatched, and a significant amount of people have ended up as guests on this podcast either directly or indirectly via Andrew. But in this chat, instead of talking about industry stuff, we chatted about perhaps the largest silent barrier to fitness - your personal identity and relationship with fitness. The people who make a healthy lifestyle “look easy” adopt the identity of a fit person. Eventually, it is no longer a chore to eat healthy, exercise, drink plenty of water etc - it's just who you are and what you do. But this doesn't happen by accident. And often, people subconsciously sabotage themselves into making this impossible. So this discussion is focused on how to embody this lifestyle. The actual steps, tools and tactics to employ to slowly change your own beliefs about yourself to identify as a fit person. Powerful stuff, enjoy!

Have you ever found yourself waiting for the perfect burst of motivation to start your fitness journey? You're not alone. In this Fitness Friday episode, Andrew Coates and I tackle the age-old question: motivation vs. discipline. We discuss the common pitfall of procrastination and the importance of starting small, such as simply showing up at the gym. We also discuss the idea of "casting votes for your future self," as James Clear says in his book "Atomic Habits," and how consistency in action, even when you don't feel like it, fosters discipline and confidence.

You have to admit, it happens a lot. You'll be doing something mundane and BOOM, an amazing idea hits you that you'll want to remember for later. Only you don't, and all of that potential slips away… The amount of books that go unwritten, keynote speeches undelivered, businesses or products not developed - the list is endless. High-performers recognize the power of capturing these thoughts and have a system for seizing and converting them into something tangible that can add value to the world and change people's lives. As with any topic, before you can figure out how to make it the most applicable to you, we must start from the beginning. In this podcast we discuss: How capturing ideas can reduce cognitive load Developing a flexible structure that doesn't stifle your personality Tips for organizing thoughts and ideas so you can recall them when the time is right The many benefits of using voice memos that you've probably never considered before We created this episode from the overwhelming number of responses we had to our episode with Andrew Coates on Information Overload.

Key Highlights: [00:01 - 09:30] Opening Segment ● Andrew discusses his background and how he got into the fitness industry. He mentions that he started as a trainer at a gym when he was 32. ● Prior to that, he had worked in various industries, including owning a nightclub and working in the banking and casino industry. ● Andrew also talks about his philosophy of giving and supporting others in the industry, which has led to many opportunities for him, including public speaking and hosting events. ● Andrew talks about the prevalence of great strength coaches coming out of Canada. [09:31 - 23:15] Fitness Basics and Mindset ● Andrew talks about how he prefers to focus on the basics of fitness and avoid controversy or polarization in the media. ● He emphasizes the importance of getting more people into gyms and lifting weights for better health. ● He also encourages others to focus on being helpful and sharing important ideas rather than getting caught up in arguments with those who are not receptive to positive training and nutritional ideas. ● Andrew enumerates what people are missing, in terms of basics, that can use them in long-term ○ People are afraid of lifting weights because of their lack of knowledge and fear of injury. ○ People get overwhelmed with what they're supposed to do, and they become paralyzed by constantly consuming information instead of actually applying it. ○ People tend to seek quick results and quick fixes, which is just human nature. [23:16 - 29:36] Strength Training for Long-Term Fat Loss ● Andrew believes that building strength and muscle should be the highest goal for people in the gym instead of just focusing on fat loss. ● Strength and muscle building tend to go hand in hand concurrently, especially if you eat in a slight calorie surplus. ● Building more strength and muscle is excellent for fat loss and keeping fat off in the medium to long term. ● Strength training boosts metabolism, helps in muscle recovery, and burns more calories while at rest. [29:36 - 46:22] Closing Segment ● He believes that while some are drawn to tough love approaches like 75 Hard, it's ineffective for most people. ● He is also okay with different types of messaging and methods because different people have different needs and preferences. ● A sustainable pace and approach to working out and nutrition is better than an unsustainable one to avoid setting oneself up to fail. ● Andrew categorizes food into healthy, non-negotiable treats and high-calorie convenience food and sets boundaries around the foods you enjoy. Key Quotes: “My favorite response to anything long form short form is I needed this today and it tells me I'm on the right track with an important message.” - Andrew Coates “Medium term, long term building more strength, building more muscle is phenomenal for fat loss and keeping fat off.” - Andrew Coates “75 hard is fine. It's not for most people, it's understanding that messaging and method are gonna be different for different people.” - Andrew Coates “One of my favorite attitudes at nutrition is not to fucking clean up everything so that we are perfect. It's to take an inventory of what you're eating and put it in a couple of boxes. I think three basic boxes.” Andrew Coates CONNECT WITH ANDREW: Instagram: @andrewcoatesfitness Website: andrewcoatesfitness.com Getnatesbook - This book is a must-have for anyone looking to drop belly fat and eliminate love handles permanently with expert tips on the 7 daily investments for health and wealth, the one type of cardio you need to include, and a handy checklist to hold yourself accountable to your goals.
