If you haven’t had a chance to tune into any of the Podcasts we have developed through The Fitness Education Series, we’ve narrowed down the top 5 must-listen episodes hosted by Tom Rock and the team.
Whilst there are dozens of episodes available that will help upskill your knowledge in a range of health and fitness topics, we believe these 5 below are the best place to start!

Considerations when programming for beginners, intermate and advanced lifters
This episode should give you an insight into Tom’s thought process when programming for clients of different levels, specifically depending on their previous training history.
Should you track your Macros
There had to be a nutrition-based podcast in the top 5. This is an early episode that starts a really good discussion on the pros and cons of tracking your macronutrient intake.
How to develop your coaching skills and why it’s important
This is a short episode (just over 8 minutes long), so it’s a good quick option if you’re on the go. However, it is an important thought to consider while you are studying your Certificate III and IV in Fitness, or even after you complete your studies.
Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (Body Scans), Things you Should Consider
Finally, in this more recent episode, Tom discusses Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis, giving you some tips to make sure your results are as accurate as possible. This is a great episode for people who are getting body scans or for Personal Trainers who have the ability to recommend or offer Body Scans to their clients.
