Personal trainer Curtis Hartley joins us to share practical fitness wisdom and inspiring advice for those starting or deepening their fitness journey. Through personal stories and expert insights, Curtis reveals how small, consistent actions can lead to transformative results while emphasising the mental benefits of fitness beyond physical changes.

• The importance of finding the right support and guidance when starting fitness
• Breaking down unrealistic expectations and celebrating small wins
• Strength training benefits, especially as we age with natural muscle loss
• Practical alternatives to gyms, including home workouts with household items
• How walking and consistent movement often deliver better results than intense HIIT workouts
• Body image pressures affecting young men and the need for open conversation
• Building confidence through fitness beyond just physical changes
• Creating maintainable fitness habits rather than unsustainable quick fixes
