Episode 121 - How to Choose A Fitness Program
Episode 121 Show Notes
In this candid, end-of-year episode, Tiffany Wickes cuts through the noise of New Year fitness marketing and offers a grounded, no-nonsense guide for choosing a health and fitness program that actually supports long-term wellbeing—not quick fixes.
As the fitness industry ramps up its promises of rapid fat loss, Tiffany challenges listeners to shift their focus from speed and aesthetics to sustainable health, strength, and function. She breaks down the non-negotiables of effective programming, including science-based training, whole-foods nutrition, adequate protein and fiber, proper recovery, and realistic expectations—especially for busy women and mothers.
This episode dives into why pills, shakes, shots, and extreme calorie manipulation are red flags, why most programs fail to address what truly drives health outcomes, and how lifestyle choices—particularly ultra-processed foods—are impacting not only adult health, but the future health of our children. Tiffany also explains why alignment with your coach matters, why there is no “finish line” in fitness, and how strength, nourishment, and consistency create lasting results.
Whether you’re evaluating a new program for the new year or simply want clarity on what actually matters in your health journey, this episode offers a powerful framework to help you choose wisely—and show up for your body and your family with intention.
