In this episode of the FIT40 Podcast, I’m joined once again by Tom Sheppard, head coach of Elite FTS and Tib Army, to dig into what actually matters when it comes to lasting fitness results. We talk about the difference between IQ and EQ in coaching, why long-term consistency beats short-term perfection, and how to align your training with your real goals—not just what sounds good. If you’ve ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, or burned out, this conversation will give you the clarity and motivation to train smarter and stay in it for the long haul.
