Introduction

Welcome to the Storm Fitness Academy Podcast! I’m Jon Bond, and today we’re diving into a powerful psychological tool that can help trainers and coaches guide their clients toward lasting success. It’s called the Theory of Planned Behaviour, developed by Icek Ajzen, and it’s all about understanding what drives people to act—or not act—on their intentions. In this episode, we’ll break down the theory and explore how you can use it to help your clients overcome barriers, stick to healthy habits like exercise and eating well, and ultimately achieve their goals. Let’s get started!

Introduction

In this episode, I sit down with the brilliant teacher and coach, Dave Hall, to tackle a thought-provoking question: Is being a good person a fundamental component of being a great coach, trainer, or teacher? We explore whether technical skills alone are enough or if personal values and how we treat others are more significant in shaping success in these fields. Join us as we share personal experiences, insights, and some real-world stories that highlight the importance of character in the world of coaching and teaching.

Introduction

Welcome to today's episode, where we’ll be diving into a topic that affects so many of us — mental health — and the powerful role that exercise plays in improving it. I’m Jon Bond, and with over 25 years of experience as a trainer and coach, plus a Master’s degree in Strength and Conditioning focused on exercise and mental health, I’ve seen firsthand how transformative physical activity can be for mental well-being.

Today, we’re going to explore how exercise goes beyond just physical benefits. We’ll talk about how it helps to naturally increase key “feel-good” chemicals in the brain — serotonin, dopamine, endorphins, and oxytocin. These neurotransmitters and hormones play a huge role in boosting mood, reducing stress, and helping you feel more connected and positive. Whether it’s improving focus, managing anxiety, or simply feeling happier, exercise can be one of the most effective ways to take care of both your body and mind.

So, if you’ve ever wondered why you feel so much better after a workout, stick around as we break down how these chemicals work and how regular physical activity can help you improve your mental health!
