Biceps & Banter

In the final instalment of three bonus episodes, Laura talks to her idol Sam Briggs about the longevity of her career, having initially trained as a firefighter, an enthusiastic footballer, endurance competitor and eventually turned into a successful career within CrossFit, winning the Games in 2013.

In the second of three bonus episodes, Laura chats to Kristin Holte about how it feels to be the second fittest woman in the whole world. The sacrifices you need to make to become the best, and celebrating winning a podium spot by eating a burger!

In this very special bonus episode, Laura chats to Annie Thorisdottir, the first woman to win the CrossFit Games two years in a row. She openly talks about her views on body confidence and empowering women, inspiring a generation as she continues to compete in her sport.

Recorded on location, for the season finale Laura takes us full circle to where her fitness career began: The Foundry Gym. We learn all about the magic of a plan-b with guest Ben Gotting, co-founder of The Foundry and ex-professional rugby player. In this episode, we hear about the importance of making people feel welcome and supported and why building this kind of inclusive community lies at the heart of their ethos.

This week Laura chats to committed athlete, world record challenge setter and mental health campaigner, Josh Patterson about living with a limitless mindset. We learn how Josh has used his platform in the public eye to raise awareness of disability and mental health, two topics very close to his heart. Together they discuss how fostering a sense of purpose is the key to success and how Josh used his 'why' to overcome his most recent challenge: John O’ Groats to Lands End- in a wheelchair. Opening up about motivations, successes and adversities, this incredibly open and honest chat will have you chomping at the bit to start your next challenge.
