Your CoachRx Podcast Network Update Early June 2026
The CoachRx Podcast Network kept the conversation practical over the last couple of weeks, with coaches digging into the decisions that actually shape client outcomes.
From managing athlete volume and recovery to diagnosing a program that has quietly stopped working, plus velocity and blood flow restriction tech, snatching under competition fatigue, rowing mechanics, and running a consultation that earns trust.
We also get the value gap that keeps clients from seeing your worth, a HYROX Brisbane recap, a candid look at leaving the corporate ladder to build your own path, two Behind The Design sessions on conditioning and energy systems, and Kandace's milestone fiftieth episode on building a content strategy that sounds like you. Here are 13 must-listen episodes.
Conquer Athlete Podcast
With Coaches Jason Leydon & Ryan Bucciantini
CAP 294: Mastering Athlete Volume and Recovery Strategies
Accumulating training volume is easy; knowing when an athlete has actually absorbed it is the hard part. Jason and Ryan work through how to manage workload across a block, when to pull back, and how to read the recovery signals that tell you whether adaptation is happening. Useful if you coach competitive athletes and find yourself guessing at how much is too much.

The BG Perform Podcast
With Coaches Brandon Gallagher & Jerry Hayes
How To Fix Your Training Program
Most programs do not fail because of one bad session; they fail because the structure underneath them is unclear. Brandon and Jerry walk through how to diagnose a program that is not working, looking at intent, exercise selection, and prioritization before reaching for a rewrite. A practical way to audit your own programming with fresh eyes.

The Fitness Movement by ZOAR Fitness
With Coach Ben Wise
Episode 233: Tyson Maher on BFR, VBT, NIRS & Seeking the 1%

Smarter Strength Podcast
With Coach Dr. David Skolnik
How to Guarantee Better Client Results
Before looking at client behavior, programming, or nutrition, David calls out the elephant in the room: sometimes the coach is the problem. This episode marks the relaunch of Smarter Strength as a weekly show built specifically for fitness professionals ready to stop consuming and start acting.
The Unmotivated Client: How to Reignite Effort and Get Results
What do you do when a client shows up but clearly is not trying? Dr. Skolnik digs into the coaching side of motivation: how to identify what is actually going on, adjust your approach without lowering the standard, and rebuild buy-in before the client drifts away entirely.
Performance Programming Simplified
With Coach Spencer Kankel
Episode 10: Snatching in Competition
The snatch under competition fatigue is a different animal than the snatch in a clean training session. Spencer walks through how to prepare athletes to hit the lift when it shows up mid-workout, covering positioning, warm-up decisions, and programming toward the demands of the floor. Worth a listen if your athletes lift well in practice but miss in the moment.
Episode 11: How Rowing Really Works in CrossFit
Rowing shows up in conditioning constantly, yet most athletes have never been taught how to move the machine efficiently. Spencer breaks down the mechanics of the row, pacing decisions, and where it belongs in a conditioning plan so the stimulus matches your intent. Worth a listen before you program your next interval piece.
HYROX Heroes
With Coach Damian Votta
Why You're Always Tired (And It's Not Your Training)
Fatigue that does not match training load is one of the most common complaints coaches hear. Damian digs into the non-training factors that drive persistent tiredness, from sleep quality and nutrition timing to stress management and recovery protocols. If your athletes are doing everything right in the gym but still dragging, this episode offers practical answers.

HYROX Brisbane Recap: What Is So Clear About How to Get Better at HYROX
Race recaps are more useful when they focus on the lessons, not just the results. Damian breaks down key takeaways from the Brisbane HYROX event, covering pacing errors, station transitions, and the patterns that separate athletes who execute from those who fall apart in the second half of a race.

The Viomati Co Podcast
With Coaches Robin Styvers & Manon Jongejan
From Corporate Ladder to Building Your Own Path with Louise Radoor Larsen
Plenty of coaches dream about leaving a stable career to build something of their own, then freeze at the cost of the leap. Robin and Manon talk with Louise Radoor Larsen about walking away from a high-travel corporate marketing career, starting over with a blank slate, and why financial literacy underpins real freedom. A grounded conversation about backing yourself when the safe path still looks good on paper.

Use It or Lose It, Train for Life
With Coaches Kayla Smith & Kevin Armstrong
The Client Consultation: How Does It Actually Go
The consultation sets the tone for the entire coaching relationship, but few coaches have a repeatable way to run one. Kayla and Kevin work through a mock consult, covering the questions that surface what a client really wants, how to handle nutrition and food tracking honestly, and how to align goals with health and performance. A solid model if your intake process still feels improvised.
The Grit Performance Podcast
With Coach Tyson Maher
Earning Your Skills: From Acquisition To Capacity w/ Spencer Kankel
Spencer Kankel joins Tyson to talk through the path from owning a gym to coaching online, the role of mentorship, and why skill acquisition without capacity building leaves athletes stuck. They dig into gymnastics movement progression, functional volume, and the density work that separates first ring muscle-ups from consistent performance.

Behind The Design
With Coaches Daniel Persson & Brandon Gallagher
Conditioning Program Design Considerations
Conditioning is often the least intentional part of a program, bolted on rather than designed. Daniel and Brandon talk through how they choose modalities, sequence the work, and balance conditioning against everything else based on what the assessment actually shows. A look at the reasoning behind conditioning decisions, not just the workouts themselves.
OPEX Energy Systems Training (Pain)
The Pain end of energy systems work is where intent matters most and where it is easiest to get sloppy. Daniel and Brandon break down how to program high-intensity, anaerobic conditioning with purpose, and how Individual Design coaches apply OPEX energy system principles when building it for real clients. Pairs well with the conditioning design conversation from the week before.

Frameworks with Carl Hardwick
With Coach Carl Hardwick
Why Most Fitness Coaches Go Broke (And How to Fix It)
Most coaches don't fail because they're bad at coaching; they fail because the math behind their business doesn't work. Carl walks through real numbers for group coaching, personal training, and individual design models, then shows how to think about pricing, retention, capacity, and profit so you can stop guessing and start making business decisions with clarity. He also introduces a simple forecasting tool to help you run your numbers before you waste years grinding for too little.

A strong refresher for OPEX coaches and a clear blueprint for everyone else on building trust and using your own voice.
The Real Reason You Can't Hit Record | It's Not Your Strategy
