Lose 10-20 lbs In 8 weeks – https://ericrobertsfitness.com/erf-1on1.html

On today’s episode I give you a full station-by-station recap of my first ever Hyrox race — where I placed first in a couple of stations, finished top 1.5% of my age group, and still missed my sub-70 goal by two and a half minutes. I break down exactly why I came up short: I never wore a watch so I only thought I was on pace, I never trained the transition zones between stations, and four months of cardio just wasn’t a big enough base yet. And I tie it all back to something I tell our clients constantly — missing a goal isn’t failing, it’s a diagnosis, whether it’s a race time or the scale not moving as fast as you want.

Back to School 8 Week Challenge – https://ericrobertsfitness.com/back-to-school-challenge.html

On today’s episode I break down whether you should do a HYROX race — what it actually involves, how fit you need to be before you sign up, and how to fit the training into your week without blowing up the routine you already like. Sophie and I get into training for speed and endurance at the same time, how to work around old injuries, and what has to change with your nutrition. I also go off on why you’ve gotta be so careful who you trust with your health right now, especially with everyone and their mom suddenly selling peptides.

ERF 1,043: Should You Shame Yourself Into Losing Weight?

Back to School 8 Week Challenge – https://ericrobertsfitness.com/back-to-school-challenge.html

On today’s episode I break down a viral video that says you should shame yourself into losing weight — and why the science actually shows shame makes most people eat more, not less. I get into self-efficacy, stacking small wins instead of waiting for one big transformation, and the unemotional approach I used to drop 11 pounds after letting myself go in Mexico. If you already know what to do but still can’t stay consistent, this is the mindset piece nobody’s talking about.

Back to School 8 Week Challenge – https://ericrobertsfitness.com/back-to-school-challenge.html

On today’s episode I break down something almost nobody handing out GLP-1 prescriptions will tell you: 25 to 40% of the weight you lose on these drugs isn’t fat, it’s muscle. I give you the exact workout prescription — how many days, how heavy, how hard — and a realistic protein playbook for when your appetite is basically gone, not the “just eat more chicken” advice that never sticks. And I get into the one thing about coming off a GLP-1 that makes everything else in this episode ten times more important.

Back to School Challenge – https://ericrobertsfitness.com/back-to-school-challenge.html

On today’s episode I sit down with Sophie to break down the hybrid training myths quietly wrecking your progress — starting with the big one, that cardio kills your gains. I get into why it’s really about recovery and not cardio, how you can end up losing muscle in an accidental deficit without even knowing it, and why at 245 pounds I’m still running sub-7-minute miles. If you’re trying to get stronger and improve your cardio at the same time, this one shows you how to actually pull off both.

On today’s episode I break down what alcohol actually does to your body when you’re trying to lose fat — and why it’s usually not the alcohol stopping your progress, it’s everything that comes with it. I give you my five rules for drinking and still losing fat, from making the trade with your calories earlier in the day to only picking one of three between a drink, an appetizer, or dessert. If one Saturday keeps undoing your whole week, this is the episode that fixes it.

Lose 10-20 lbs In 8 weeks – https://ericrobertsfitness.com/erf-1on1.html

On today’s episode I sit down with Sophie to talk about why up to 90% of people who lose weight end up gaining it back. I break down why it’s not a willpower problem — it’s a battery you’re draining too fast — and give you the exact environment hacks, like the 24-hour rule, ordering the kids’ meal, and setting drink limits, that actually keep the weight off for good.

90 Day Clubhouse Kickstart Program – https://ericrobertsfitness.com/clubhouse-page.html

On today’s episode I break down the truth about losing fat and building muscle at the same time — yes, you can do both, but it comes down to which of four types of people you are. I walk through the exact calorie, protein, and training setup for each one, and why the scale is the worst way to tell if it’s actually working. If you’ve been chasing a goal weight that never quite feels right, start here.

On today’s episode I get honest about how I gained more body fat than I’d like — and I’m the guy who’s coached 25,000+ people through the exact same excuses. I break down the lies I kept telling myself, the “flat tire” moment in Mexico that finally snapped me out of it, and the specific nutrition, training, and blood work changes I’ve made to drop 8 pounds while still training hard for my Hyrox race. If you’ve been quietly telling yourself “it’s not that bad,” this one’s for you.

Lose 10-20 lbs In 8 weeks – https://ericrobertsfitness.com/erf-1on1.html

On today’s episode I sit down with my co-host Sophie to answer your questions on why the scale isn’t moving. I break down how cortisol and water weight can mask your fat loss, why dropping to 1200 calories backfires every time, and why burning fat in the “fat-burning zone” isn’t the same as losing stored body fat. If you’ve been doing everything right and feeling like nothing’s working, this one’s going to make a lot of things click.
