This is one of a series of episodes that will discuss the ever-changing fitness industry during COVID 19.
If you are wondering what's going to happen to your favorite gym, class or instructor - this is the show for you!
Ruben talks with Bobby Westside, one of NYC's most versatile trainer/fitness instructor (The Training Lab, Barry's, Flywheel) on surviving these first months of gym closures due to COVID.
Bobby was one of the first to leave New York when the pandemic hit and he discusses the pivots he's made - including building a personal brand before this all started – that have helped him survive and even thrive. Ruben adds his perspective as a gym owner in NYC. Both discuss the future of fitness as they each see it – giving predictions and pointers on how to adapt and overcome.
Between the two of these industry pros the knowledge shared makes this crucial listen for those who value their fitness communities and are eager to know what they are facing and what they are working towards.

Personal Training: Reality vs Instagram
Ruben’s guests are NYC personal trainers Mike Ramirez, Alex Red and Sarah Garwon who definitively break down the GRIND behind the cool IG posts. Ruben discusses his personal transition with fitness: from side hustle to successful gym owner. He and the coaches go into detail about what it really takes to start, maintain and thrive as a coach/personal trainer. The coaches share how they maintain healthy boundaries, prep to be the best for each client and not-negotiate what they are worth.
Great insider information you won’t get from the ‘gram!
HUGE thank you to

Being Female in Fitness
Ruben sits down with badass NYC trainers Hollis Tuttle, Daria Daspin, Gabi Dunkley and Kylie Brunngrabber to hear what it’s really like to be a woman working in fitness and the talk gets real, real fast!
The women discuss everything from the physical double standards for men and women who teach/train to menstruation to the magic women bring to their class prep and the stereo types that still stop many women from lifting. You will be informed, entertained and inspired.
This is the first of a series of discussions with women working in fitness … and it won’t disappoint.
HUGE thank you to
