If you take a cold shower every day, but don’t tell anyone about it, does it actually count? Do you take cold showers yourself? Or do you think everyone that takes cold showers has rocks in their head? Most people have an opinion at an extreme end of the spectrum. Today, Trav and Pat take you through the benefits of cold showers, who should and shouldn’t do it, and what benefits they have got from doing it consistently themselves. Whether you think it’s a good idea or not, have a listen, because you might have your mind changed.

Courtney Rixon - talking exercise around pregnancy If you’re a mum who has found it difficult navigating returning to training after having kids, then this is a chat you’re going to want to listen to you. On top of that, if you’re a bloke who’s partner has or will be returning to exercise after kids, it might be wise to listen along so you can understand what your lady is thinking. (Because of most of us blokes have no idea). Today Pat interviews Courtney Rixon. Courts is one of the coaches at Reborn, she is the head Pilates instructor, and Reborn’s pre/post natal expert. Now, given Courtney lives and breathes fitness, you would be forgiven for thinking she has always had an easy run of it. The truth is, this isn’t the case. Courtney had different struggles when returning exercise after each of her two kids, and is open and honest about that in today’s chat. Courtney can be found on Instagram @courtneyrixonpt

Trav and Pat take you through how the last month of the build went, both the good and the bad, and there was plenty of each. Also how the gym launch went - January 27, what a day it was.
