In this week's episode, Rory and Mike sit down with Rob Symth, CEO of UN1T, the global fitness franchise. After traveling to 29 countries across 3 continents and learning everything he could about training methods and sports philosophies from different cultures, founder Rob Smyth opened the first UN1T in April 2017 in London. By November 2018, the first franchise had opened in Munich, Germany, and then further afield into the Middle East with franchisees opening in Kuwait and Qatar and most recently in Dubai. UN1T now has 15 Franchises in 9 countries and Rob has ambitions to continue to scale globally. Rory and Mike take it right back to where it all began and talk to Rob about his early career, the challenges, the successes, and the chaos that is scaling a business globally. Enjoy!

In this episode, Mike, Rudds, and Rory talk to former FFS Intern and now Irish Womes Strength & Conditioning Coach, Cian Gormley. The guys talk about the approach to training, recovery, and planning taken by elite athletes and how it can be applied at a macro level for recreational athletes.

Cian shares some insights into the preparation of the Ireland team for the Women's 6 Nations championship and the challenges the squad face, and how they will adapt, having suffered defeats in their opening two games.

Cian is an avid middle to long-distance runner and the conversation touches on the importance of strength training while running. A large part of the conversation focuses on developing a consistent and enjoyable training routine as well as the emotional and mental challenges that consistent training pose.
