🎙️ Fitness Fashion Crimes, 4 Minute Miles, Wimbledon Predictions and the New Hyrox Rules | The MindSets Podcast | Episode 60
This week on the MindSets Podcast, we dive into one of the biggest unspoken parts of fitness culture: FASHION 👕 😎
From questionable Gymshark fits to near-illegal CrossFit Reebok gear, we break down the do’s, don’ts, and outright crimes of fitness fashion—alongside your listener submissions from Instagram.
🏃 We also chat briefly about whether the sub-4-minute women’s mile will ever happen, and what Faith Kipyegon’s chase means for the future of elite running.
🎾 Who do we think's going to win Wimbledon and why!?
⚙️ "Grinds My Gears" returns with your “gym icks” on what gives you the ick in gyms and why!
💪 Next up, we unpack the NEW HYROX 2025/26 rule changes:
• Are they moving the sport forward?
• What do we still think needs to change?
🎮 ROXD Sport Game of the Week:
Angus brings a brand-new game to the pod this week… let’s see if Charles approves.

After watching the jaw-dropping Enhanced Games documentary, we couldn’t resist diving into one of the biggest debates in modern sport:
➡️ Should performance-enhancing drugs have a place in elite competition?
We react to two Olympic-level swimmers openly taking PEDs to break a world record, and unpack what this means for fairness, progress, and the future of sport as we know it.
💢 Grind My Gears returns with a new round of rants that are all too relatable.
🫧 Next, we shift the lens to the other end of the spectrum - amateur sport. From viral clips of outrageous refereeing to grassroots athletes taking things way too seriously, we ask:
• Where should the line be drawn on competitive drive vs actual ability?
• Is amateur sport losing the plot?
🎮 ROXD Sport Games:
This week’s game is classic 21 Questions—but with a fitness and sport twist. Spoiler: Angus may or may not completely butcher a very easy round.

It’s been a BIG couple of weeks. In this episode of The MindSets Podcast, Angus and Charles regroup post-race to reflect, recover, and rant.
🏃 Race Recaps:
We break down Charles’ performance at the Hackney Half Marathon and both of our experiences at HYROX Cardiff - two very different outcomes but one shared lesson: REST IS ESSENTIAL. Whether it’s physical overload or mental fatigue, we talk about what happens after the finish line and how to recover properly.
💢 Grind Your Gears:
This time, we handed the mic to you. Our listeners sent in what’s been annoying them lately - fitness edition - and it does not disappoint.
🎮 ROXD Sport Game - “Call Bullsh*t” Edition:
A brand-new format where we battle it out in a fast-paced naming game. Think you know your Premier League winners, protein bar brands, or Olympic sports? So do we... until someone calls BS. Loser has to prove it in 60 seconds.

This week on The MindSets Podcast, Angus and Charles dive deep into how elite performers step up when the stakes are highest. From Augusta greens to East African valleys, this episode explores what it takes to deliver when it matters most.
🧠 Mental Topic:
Rory McIlroy finally wins The Masters. But it wasn’t easy—almost blowing it before pulling off one of the strongest performances of his career. We break down what it takes to mentally hold your nerve under pressure and turn past pain into power.
💢 Grind My Gears:
Angus is back with multiple mini-rants, and Charles reveals his biggest personality ick that most people never notice - but once you do, you can’t unsee it.
🏃♂️ Physical Topic:
We discuss the secret training methods of elite marathon runners training in the hills and valleys of East Africa. Is there more to their dominance than altitude and mileage? What else could they be doing?
📉 Bonus Segment:
Angus shares a full Hyrox Barcelona Race Debrief - from pacing and sleds to the lessons learned. Charles challenges him with tough questions and takeaways for any athlete trying to level up in any competition.
🎲 ROXD Game Time:
No quiz this week, we’re flipping the format. A brand-new game you can play along with, wherever you're listening. (Let us know how many points you get!)

In this episode of The MindSets Podcast, Angus and Charles return with a double-barrel discussion—one for the mind, one for the body.
🧠 Mental Topic: "Comparison is the thief of joy"—but is it always? We dig into whether comparing yourself to others actually robs you of happiness or can fuel growth and self-awareness when framed right.
🏋️ Physical Topic: Should you rebuild technique from the ground up or play to your strengths and refine your natural style? We dive into the debate athletes and coaches face when chasing peak performance.
⚙️ Grind My Gears:
Charles vents about tapering mistakes before competition—what people get wrong and how to taper like a pro.
Meanwhile, Angus questions the industry’s priorities: Why are brands dropping serious cash on influencers with minimal impact when elite athletes could be supported to dominate globally—for a fraction of the price?
🤓 ROXD Sport Quiz:
Charles is back for redemption in the ultimate fitness & sport trivia showdown. Will he finally break his losing streak?

In this episode, I sit down with Johnny Morillo, aka @JohnnyMeatless—a Filipino kid who grew up obsessed with food, turned vegan while solo-traveling the world, and then became the guy behind those viral plant-based videos you see all over your feed.
But Johnny’s story goes way deeper than recipes.
We talk about his culture, how food shaped his identity, and what it’s really like being a minority in a wellness space that still feels overwhelmingly white, polished, and exclusive. Through his new platform @whatsjohnnydoing, he’s showing up in places he’s "not supposed to be"—like reformer pilates, yoga, and more - just to show that everyone deserves to take up space.
We get into:
🍲 Why asian food hits different (and why going vegan wasn’t easy)
📱 Building @JohnnyMeatless from scratch and going viral without selling out
👟 Why fitness spaces need more culture, colour, and chaos
🍳His method of discovering flavours and making new dishes
💥 The pressure to represent when no one else looks like you
If you’ve ever felt like the outsider in food, fitness, or even your own community—this one hits home.
🎧 Johnny also answers listener questions, cutting through myths around fasted training, muscle gain vs. fat loss, and the biggest mistakes most people make with their workouts.

In this episode of The MindSets Podcast, we dive deep into the world of fitness gimmicks—from hyped-up training methods to flashy products promising insane results. Are they worth your time, or are they just clever marketing?
We then tackle the question: How big should your ego be in sport? Does having a strong ego separate the best from the rest, or is it just arrogance in disguise? We explore how confidence, mindset, and humility play a role in elite performance.
⚙️ Grinds Our Gears: This week, it's all about meal deals gone wrong—why do supermarkets make some of the worst food choices so expensive?!
🏋️ Roxd Sport Quiz: We wrap up with another round of the ultimate fitness trivia—and finally reveal the answer to last week's cliffhanger question!
