A Beginner & a Pro Dive Into Coaching & Accountability

February 22, 2023

Have you ever felt totally overwhelmed by the world of fitness? Don’t worry—you’re not alone, and that’s exactly why Nacho Fitness Coach exists.

Hosted by two friends at very different stages of their fitness journeys, this podcast delivers real conversations about exercise, coaching, accountability, and the chaos (and comedy) of trying to “get fit” in real life.

Whether you're just getting started or have been lifting for years, there's something here for you.

A Beginner and an Expert Walk Into a Gym...

Caleigh is brand new to the fitness scene. She's tried to run a 5K, recently discovered protein shakes, and owns a single set of 5-pound dumbbells. She brings honesty, curiosity, and all the questions new exercisers want to ask but don’t.

Sarah, on the other hand, is the coach. With years of experience training clients, racewalking marathons, and running online programs, she shares expert insights on everything from strength training to nutrition—while keeping it funny and relatable.

Together? They’re not just informative—they’re entertaining.

🎯 Why Accountability Matters (Even for Coaches!)

“You’re a fitness coach... and you still need a coach?”
Yep. Even experts need support.

In this episode, Sarah opens up about her own journey with hiring a coach. She shares how having someone else to check in with helps her stick to her training—especially for the stuff she dislikes: cardio, core work, and dialing in her nutrition.

For Caleigh, it's all about the checklist. A program on her smartwatch helped her stay consistent because it held her accountable—even if it was just a calendar that knew when she skipped a day.

No matter where you are in your health journey, one thing’s clear: having structure and support makes a difference.

🤔 Should You Hire a Fitness Coach?

If you’ve ever wondered:

Do I need a personal trainer or just an app?
What does a customized fitness program even look like?
How do I find a coach I can actually trust?

This episode breaks it down. The key? Find the right fit for where you are right now. Sarah explains that what works for someone prepping for a fitness competition won’t be the same as what works for someone just trying to feel better or build healthy habits.

💸 Sticker Shock Is Real (But So Is Value)

Caleigh almost pulled the trigger on hiring a coach—until the price nearly doubled after New Year’s. It was a reality check, and an important reminder that timing, budget, and mindset all matter when choosing a program.

Sometimes you’re ready to commit—and sometimes you realize you need to take a few more steps first. That’s okay.

🎧 Listen In to Laugh, Learn, and Level Up

Whether you're a complete beginner or a seasoned athlete, Nacho Fitness Coach is here to meet you where you are. Expect honest conversations, some hilarious moments, and the kind of advice you can actually use.

So grab your protein shake (or maybe just a snack), put on your walking shoes, and press play.

Fitness Scams You Need to Stop Falling For (and What Actually Works)

August 27, 2025

If you’ve ever bought a $50 tub of “miracle” greens powder, fallen for the latest detox tea, or wondered whether pink-labeled supplements for women are actually different (spoiler: they’re not), you’re not alone. In this episode of Nacho Fitness Coach, Caleigh (the self-proclaimed beginner who thinks Bulgarian split squats should be classified as cruel and unusual punishment) and Sara (the coach who actually knows what she’s doing) dive headfirst into the wild world of fitness scams —with plenty of laughs, tangents, and questionable jokes along the way. 🚨 Why Fitness Scams Are Everywhere The fitness industry is worth billions, which means there’s always someone ready to sell you a “shortcut.” Whether it’s a supplement that promises to torch fat, a crash diet that guarantees results in 30 days, or Instagram workouts that magically target belly fat, scams thrive because people want fast fixes. The reality? Sustainable health comes from the boring stuff : consistent movement, balanced nutrition, sleep, and stress management. But that doesn’t sell as well as “drop 30 pounds in 30 days.” 🤯 Popular Fitness Scams They Call Out Here are just a few of the fads and gimmicks discussed in the episode: Body Positivity (when twisted into an excuse) – Loving yourself is great, but ignoring your health isn’t. Raw Milk – Romanticized online, but not a magic bullet for health. Athletic Greens (AG1) – Expensive powders that are basically just multivitamins in smoothie form. Electrolyte Powders – Some (like Liquid IV or LMNT) are useful, but don’t believe the “double hydration” marketing hype. “For Women” Supplements – Same formula, pink label, higher price. Colostrum & Collagen Powders – Marketed as miracle youth potions. Spoiler: your regular protein powder works just fine. Probiotics – Helpful after antibiotics, but not the cure-all they’re marketed to be. Detox Teas & Cleanses – Your liver and kidneys already handle that job for free. Keto Desserts – Sorry, Jessica. That keto cupcake is still just a cupcake. 12-3-30 Workouts – Good exercise, but it’s not a “fat-burning secret.” Crash Diets (HCG, blood type diets, etc.) – Fast weight loss? Yes. Sustainable? Nope. And of course… everyone’s favorite scammy influencer, V Shred . 💡 The Bigger Problem: Normalized Fitness Lies The scariest part? Some scams are so normalized, we don’t even question them anymore. Marketing convinces us that we’re broken and need expensive fixes—when the truth is that health isn’t about extremes. What actually works: Consistency > hacks Real food > powders Movement you enjoy > gimmicky workouts Patience > promises of “30 pounds in 30 days” 🎧 Why You’ll Love This Episode Yes, you’ll learn how to spot scams. But you’ll also laugh (a lot). From butt-joke tangents to middle-schoolers discovering their teacher has a podcast, Caleigh and Sara remind us that fitness doesn’t have to be intimidating—or boring. If you’ve ever rolled your eyes at a detox tea commercial or wondered if collagen peptides are just expensive marketing, this one’s for you. ✅ Key Takeaway Don’t waste money chasing the latest fitness trend. Stick to the basics: move your body, eat balanced meals, get sleep, and stay consistent. Everything else is just expensive hype.
