Join me every Friday for discussions on various aspects of training, nutrition, mindset with some dabblings in other random ideas. There'll be monthly guest interviews with entertaining, inspiring and exciting people, as well as FAQs answered every week.
Can you get stronger by training twice a week, or do you need to spend more time in the gym?
In this episode of Strength for Tomorrow Radio, I explain what makes a strength session useful and how to choose a training routine that fits your goals and your life.
We cover:
- What two planned sessions can help you achieve.
- Why a second weekly session may help if you currently train once.
- How stress, recovery and gradual progression fit together.
- When a third session might be useful.
- What progress can look like outside the gym.
This is particularly relevant if you're over 50 or trying to fit training around work and family.

Strength Training 101: What Actually Makes You Stronger?
Strength training does not need to be complicated—but it does need to be understood.
In this episode, Stuart provides a practical crash course for anyone who wants to become stronger but does not know where to begin.
We look at what strength training is actually trying to achieve, why it becomes increasingly important as we age, how beginners should approach it and why steady, sensible progression beats constantly searching for the perfect workout.
This episode is particularly useful for anyone starting later in life, returning after years away from the gym or feeling overwhelmed by conflicting fitness advice.
You do not have to be fit before you begin. You do not need to know every exercise. You simply need an appropriate starting point, good coaching and a process you can repeat consistently.
Strength for Tomorrow Radio is produced by Cross Functional Fitness in Warrenpoint, County Down.

GLP-1: Will It Send Exercise to Extinction?
The honest coaching take on weight-loss drugs, muscle loss, and why the gym still matters.
In this episode, Stuart tackles the question that's been lurking behind every GLP-1 conversation: has the rise of weight-loss medication made going to the gym optional?
The short answer is no. But the full answer is more interesting than that.
This episode covers:
What GLP-1 drugs actually do (in plain English, not jargon)
The muscle loss problem that rarely makes the headlines
Why what happens after stopping the medication matters as much as the results during
What exercise and strength training do that no medication can replicate — from metabolic rate to bone density to mental health
His coaching framework for who genuinely suits GLP-1 medication, and who is probably better served by lifestyle-first
The practical satiety approach used every day at Cross Functional Fitness
