  • Adam versus the bear. (6:30)
  • It smells like a campfire in the bay area. (20:01)

  • Putting things in perspective. (30:00)
  • The online market is exploding for trainers. (37:09)
  • A conversation surrounding the value of going to college and how statistics are misleading. (42:43)
  • #Quah question #1 – What is your opinion on gymnastic rings? (50:14)
  • #Quah question #2 – You guys often push to achieve performance goals versus aesthetic goals. What are some performance goals that I can focus on achieving, such as greater mobility or strength goals? (54:33)
  • #Quah question #3 – If you were programming a full-body routine, what primary exercises would you build it around and how would you rotate in other accessory exercises? (1:04:41)
  • #Quah question #4 – What are your thoughts on boot camps? I’m a trainer who focuses more on one-on-one training, but there are other trainers in my gym who do more group HIIT training. My concern is that the average person has high stress and performing these high-intensity exercises is only exacerbating that. I am supposed to be taking over some of those classes, but I worry that they are doing more harm than good. (1:12:56)
