Podcasts about NASM

Struggling with low moods, especially as the days get darker? Wondering if moving your body could actually improve your mental health more than medication? In this encore episode of the “Better Than Fine” podcast, host Darlene Marshall —personal trainer, wellness coach, and positive psychology practitioner—dives headfirst into the science connecting physical activity to depression, anxiety, and psychological distress. You'll hear the surprising truth behind recent headlines claiming, “exercise is 1.5x more effective than meds” and learn what a meta-analysis really says about movement and mental health. Is daily exercise really necessary, or is there a “sweet spot” for mental health benefits? Are all movement modalities equally effective—or do resistance training and yoga offer unique boosts for your mood and mind? Darlene Marshall unpacks massive new research covering over 128,000 adults, distilling complex science into practical, relatable takeaways you can use—whether you're a fitness professional, therapist, or just trying to feel better through winter. Plus: discover why therapists may hesitate to recommend exercise, what gaps exist between mental health and fitness fields, and how YOU can be part of making wellbeing more holistic, accessible, and stigma-free. If you want actionable strategies, honest personal insight, and a myth-busting approach to exercise and emotional resilience.

Send us a text if you want to be on the Podcast & explain why!Struggling to turn dense textbook prep into real coaching skill? We open the door to a smarter path—one that helps you pass your CPT and step onto the floor with confidence. Ashley leads a clear, practical tour through the Overhead Squat Assessment, the must‑know overactive and underactive muscle pairs, and the exact high‑yield topics NASM loves to test. You'll hear how to replace fear‑based posture rules with strong, simple cues that make clients feel capable and safe, and how the OPT model fits into real training without turning every session into rehab.We share the muscle map you need at test time and in the gym: mid to lower traps, glutes, VMO, TVA, and deep cervical flexors on the underactive side; lats, adductors, hip flexors, upper traps, and the gastroc‑soleus complex on the overactive side. Then we apply it to common compensations like knee valgus and arms falling forward so you can instantly connect what you see to what you program. You'll get the exact OHS setup, the five checkpoints, and why shoes‑off, multiple views, and consistent reps matter for clean reads.Ashley also lays out a streamlined study system: flashcards that pair each muscle with its tendency, process‑of‑elimination test tactics, and acronym mastery like LPHC to dodge trick questions. We talk realistic use of SMR and the 4‑2‑1 tempo, when stabilization is useful, and where progressive overload leads the way. Beyond the exam, we cover building a referral team with a registered dietitian and physical therapist so you can stay within scope, deliver faster results, and create new income streams while serving clients better.Ready to pass with less stress and coach with more clarity?

Are your words keeping you stuck? In this powerful episode of “Strong Mind, Strong Body," host Angie Miller dives deep into "The I Am Trap"—the surprising danger hidden in two simple words: I am. From "I am anxious" to "I am not good enough," Angie explores how our self-identities and mental health stories can either limit or liberate us. Discover why shifting your language from being a condition (“I am depressed”) to experiencing one (“I have depression”) is more than just semantics—it's key to unlocking growth, agency, and psychological flexibility. Drawing on personal experience, recent psychological research, and real-life examples, Angie reveals how diagnoses, self-labels, and viral social media content shape our struggles and self-concept. Are diagnostic labels empowering or imprisoning? Why do we get so attached to them? And—most importantly—how can you break free from the invisible prisons built by your story? Whether you're seeking practical mental health advice, curious about the latest insights, or just want to change your mindset, this monologue presentation starts a transformative two-part series.

Send us a text if you want to be on the Podcast & explain why!A 63-year-old pivoted careers and passed the NASM CPT by changing how he studied, not who he is. We open the playbook we used together: a clean path through the OPT model, phase-by-phase variables, and the corrective decisions that make both the test and client sessions click. If you've felt buried by jargon, this conversation pulls concepts into the light and connects them to simple choices you can make tomorrow.We start with stabilization and build to strength and power, linking tempos, rests, and intensities so you can see why each phase exists. Foam rolling shows up across the board, but stretching changes with the goal—static early, active-isolated through strength, dynamic in power. From there, we map common overactive muscles in the lower body to practical fixes: roll, stretch, then strengthen the underactive counterpart at a controlled tempo. You'll hear quick wins like how to handle heels lifting in a squat, what to do when shoulders elevate on a row, and why scaption and TRX rows keep showing up on smart Phase One programs.Clarity around planes of motion, muscle roles, and scapular force couples pays off fast. We break down how to spot the sagittal, frontal, or transverse answer in seconds, and how agonists, antagonists, synergists, and stabilizers guide exercise selection. We also hit vital signs that matter—hypertension thresholds, tachycardia as a referral trigger, and the wrist's radial pulse—as well as nutrition basics: carbohydrate ranges, saturated fat limits, protein's thermic advantage, and the role of insulin, growth hormone, IGF-1, and cortisol.Most valuable might be the test strategy itself: read the stem slowly, find the keyword like underactive or best strengthen, choose the option that advances the model, and move on. Paul's story proves it's not about age or memorizing a manual—it's about organizing knowledge that actually helps people. Ready to pass and start coaching with purpose?

Are you living your Mondays like you mean it—or are you sleepwalking through life's most precious moments? In this deeply engaging episode of “Better Than Fine,” Darlene Marshall sits down with Jodi Wellman, founder of 4000 Mondays and one of the internet's favorite “weirdos for well-being.” Together, they tackle the surprisingly revitalizing topic of death, memento mori, and the question we all avoid: How many Mondays do you have left? From the roots of the ancient Roman “memento mori” motif to the practical power of counting your Mondays, Jody explains why contemplating your mortality isn't morbid—it's a secret superpower for living a wider and deeper life. With insights from existential psychology, Jody and Andre invite listeners to diagnose their “dead zones,” share hilarious failures, and explore how simple pleasures (like killer brownies or watching owls online) can spark meaningful joy, even when life feels constrained. This special encore presentation is perfect for anyone seeking to escape the rut of routines and reignite their sense of aliveness, no matter their resources. You'll come away with actionable advice for overcoming regret, prioritizing what matters most, and infusing every day with intentionality.

Send us a text if you want to be on the Podcast & explain why!The fastest way to raise your rates isn't a new logo or a shiny app. It's raising your standard. We sit down with Dr. David Skolnik, a physical therapist who teaches trainers, to unpack why the floor of fitness education is so low—and the exact skills that move you from “gig job” to trusted professional with a full roster.We start with movement assessment that actually maps to training. Instead of relying on narrow screens, we break down how to evaluate squat, hinge, lunge, push, pull, and locomotion in real time, under load, and with constraints that reveal what matters. Then we tackle pain without panic. Using a simple green–yellow–red framework, we show how to keep training productive during flare-ups, preserve capacity after surgery, and build client confidence by finding what can be trained today.The game-changer is collaboration with physical therapists. You'll hear how to speak the same language, what quality PT care looks like on the floor, and how to lead with reciprocity to spark a steady referral loop. We share examples of co-treating that maintain aerobic fitness, train the non-injured side, and support faster returns to full strength. Along the way, we draw a clear line between coaches who coach and influencers who post, and why hands-on practice still beats shortcuts when you want consistent results.If you're in Arizona, Dr. Skolnik outlines a new eight-week, in-person program in Mesa designed for working coaches who want to master assessment, pain navigation, and advanced programming. Prefer to start today? Audit your client assessments, define your pain rules, and book a coffee with a PT who loads patients on the floor.If this helped you see the path from $15 to $150 an hour, tap follow, share with a coach who needs it, and leave a quick review.

If you would like to learn more about CIRS, visit https://www.thecirsgroup.com/ In this episode of The CIRS Group podcast, Barbara and Jacie discuss YouTuber Chris Williamson's recent video titled 'It's Time to Talk About My Health,' which details his struggles with chronic health issues despite his connections in the fitness, wellness, and biohacking community. They'll cover his diagnosis of mold illness, lyme, epstein barr and others, his symptoms, the treatments he attempted, and the strong possibility that he may be overlooking the Shoemaker Protocol for treating Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS). Many people suffer with CIRS and think they're treating it properly, but unfortunately many doctors are not educated on the most efficient and research-backed approach, so hopefully this episode helps spread more awareness. This is not medical advice, please consult with a doctor - especially a Shoemaker certified practitioner - to decide the best treatment for you.

Send us a textTwo weeks in a row? We did it gang. We are so back! In Ep 2 of this season we jump back into some of our favorite running themes of the show. Johnny's highs and lows, supplements and a few points to consider as we keep our momentum rolling. We even throw out a few gripes and groans from our gym based pet peeves. Enjoy! 

Send us a text if you want to be on the Podcast & explain why!Most trainers don't fail for lack of passion; they fail because no one showed them how to turn knowledge into coached reps and coached reps into confident sales. We walk straight through the credential maze—C-tier certs like NASM/ACE/ISSA, nonprofit mainstays NSCA/ACSM, the CSCS and kinesiology degrees, and why applied internships and mentorships sit at the top when it comes to getting hired and keeping clients safe.We share the hard numbers managers see on the floor, the real reasons accreditation doesn't equal readiness, and the practical skills that move the needle: assessments that drive programming, modifications for common injuries, communication that calms nerves, and simple, ethical closing frameworks that make pricing feel natural. You'll hear how case-based learning (think: “Pickleball Pete” with lateral elbow pain) builds pattern recognition fast, why unsupervised “experience” can cement bad habits, and how structured supervision turns you into the coach clients trust with complex goals and limitations.If you're sitting on a C-tier cert right now, we outline an honest path: pass quickly, get floor time, stack hands-on seminars, and document real outcomes. If you're targeting elite clubs like Equinox or Lifetime, we show exactly what hiring managers look for—competence, composure, and a clear system for assessment and progression. Along the way, we unpack who actually owns the big cert brands, how marketing shapes perception, and why the best question isn't “Is it accredited?” but “Will this help me coach a real human on Monday?”Ready to build a career, not just collect acronyms?

She is passionate about helping young girls and women overcome an unhealthy relationship with food after spending years of her own life stuck in the mental prison that is disordered eating. Her education in the field began in her undergraduate years at Vanderbilt University, where she studied eating psychology and nutrition. During that time, she was also certified in the National Eating Disorder Awareness foundation's Body Project certification program to support women's relationships with their bodies.Her interests progressed into physique and performance evidence-based training and nutrition while maintaining a positive relationship with food and one's body (certifications through NASM). Her coaching centers on getting women out of the rut of under-fueling and over-training, out of the yo-yo cycle, and out of the mystery of how to fuel one's body (blocking out all the noise out there!) while building a positive outlook towards nutrition.Sophie also supports her clients who are interested in gut and hormone health. Her interest in this field started from her own experience with IBS, acne, and painful/irregular periods that she wanted to support holistically. Her approach to hormonal support and gut health focuses heavily on evidence-based lifestyle and nutrition approaches rather than excessive supplementation and overly restrictive methods. Some conditions Sophie works with include: IBS, IBD, bloating/indigestion, dysmenorrhea, PCOS, PMS, low thyroid, and chronic stress/fatigue. Please note, Sophie is not a medical professional and provides holistic support for these conditions within her scope of practice; please consult a medical professional for these conditions first.Outside of coaching, Sophie is an animal-lover and enjoys spending her free time riding her horse and hiking with her pup. She has traveled and lived abroad extensively and loves getting to enjoy cuisines from all over the world. She loves spending time getting stronger in the gym, giving it her all at trivia nights, and exploring her home base in Nashville.  See links below to follow Sophie and learn more about working with her:https://biolayne.com/coach/sophie-gervais/IG @asophiesticatedlife___Disclaimer: The content of this podcast is not intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

Our goal is simple—make the exam make sense, and make your training career real.We walk through the essentials you're most likely to see on the test—clinical red flags like hypertension and tachycardia, ACSM risk stratification, and the behavior change stages—then connect those terms to real assessments and training decisions.
