From Dream to Dumbbells: How Our Fitness Podcast Was Born

October 23, 2024

Meet Caleigh and Sarah—two women on totally different fitness journeys who somehow ended up creating a podcast together. One had her first protein shake last week; the other has 12 open tubs in her pantry. But it all started with a dream... literally.


A Podcast Born from a Dream (and a Treadmill Text)

It began when Caleigh dreamt she and Sarah launched a podcast. In true dream fashion, it included episodes on fitness and true crime (why not?), instant fame, and a dramatic fallout over podcast ownership. Naturally, she texted Sarah the next morning.


Sarah, mid-treadmill session, laughed it off—then circled back later with, “Let’s do it.”

Cue panic. Caleigh, the chronic overthinker, was ready to shelve the idea for her typical 1–20 year processing time. But Sarah had equipment, a guy, and a producer named Allen. The wheels were turning.


Opposites Attract: A Beginner and a Pro Walk Into a Gym...

  • Caleigh: Just starting her wellness journey, inching toward 40, new to lifting, unsure about what to eat or where to start.
  • Sarah: Certified personal trainer with over a decade of experience, fitness competitor, mom of four, and full-on expert in all things wellness.

Their friendship? Rooted in opposite lives that somehow clicked. Caleigh admired Sarah’s dedication, while Sarah loved helping Caleigh wade through the noise of internet fads and TikTok trends.


A Full Circle Fitness Story—Pregnancy, Parades & Protein

Turns out, they had history. Years ago, Caleigh spotted a super-pregnant woman doing squats on a gym float at a small-town parade while she herself was very pregnant and very planted in a camping chair with snacks. That woman? Sarah.


Even wilder—Caleigh once won a free gym membership in a drawing hosted by Sarah. She never used it… until eight years later.


From Laughing at Detoxes to Debunking TikTok Trends

This podcast is all about real conversations between two women at different stages of their health journeys. They break down the fads, the facts, and the "this looks easy on TikTok" moments that don’t always go as planned.


Expect episodes filled with:

  • Fitness myth-busting
  • Beginner questions and expert answers
  • Parenting, wellness, and post-baby body truths
  • Trends they try (and sometimes fail at)
  • Honest “love it or hate it” recaps



Why It Matters

Whether you're just starting out or a long-time fitness junkie, this podcast is for you. It’s about showing up, sharing stories, laughing at the hard parts, and learning how to take better care of ourselves—without the pressure to be perfect.

All thanks to a dream... and maybe a little protein powder.
