UR Podcast S02E06: Training Through Pregnancy
Season 2, Ep. 6
•
On this edition of UR Podcast, we're talking all about training through pregnancy.
For some, it's the most wonderful of times, for others, it can be far from rainbows and butterflies, and anything but enjoyable.
So when it comes to pregnancy, however, how and where does training fit in? Should you train? Why should you train? Are you training to prepare your body for a pregnancy journey, are you training while pregnant, or are you looking to get back on the mats post-natal? Can you still lift? Should you really be running? What kind of exercises and movements are good for me, or what should I avoid? What are my coaches going to know about or even care about? So many questions!
Thankfully, through UR coaches' own training and development, along with the lived experiences of UR community members on the gym floor, we hope this podcast will bring you some of the answers. From navigating training through different trimesters, to working with coaches to adapt movements and training plans as your body changes and adapts to pregnancy, to overcoming fear and uncertainty, there's a lot to discuss in a shade over 30 minutes.
We'll also hear from Anna May, Clodagh and Marina on this episode as they share some of their own thoughts around training during and post pregnancy, each very much with their own personal experience.
As always, when it comes to training pre, during or post pregnancy, as with all exercise, if you're in any doubt about your health, speak to your GP or a medical expert. For information on pregnancy including warning signs, health and lifestyle, food and drink, exercise and more, visit MyChild.ie.
And if you're a Dad-to-be, this one's for you too!

34:35||Season 3, Ep. 8What happens when you finally hit your target weight, goal, life or achieve that 'impossible' PB, but still feel like something is missing? In this season finale of UR Podcast, we're exploring the essential philosophy of going beyond results.Ever feel like you're being held to ransom by data, where a single number on a scale or graph can instantly wipe away weeks of positive momentum and feeling great? Wrapping things up this week, we'll look at what happens when your initial fitness goals are solved (we do like solutions) and the transition from chasing aesthetics to finding a 'why' that sustains you for a lifetime.One point we've hit on this season and last is that more isn't better - better is better, and knowing and understanding UR 'why' can be the key to unlocking what's better for you. So, whether you're a long-time listener or just stumbling upon our podcast for the first time, this episode brings it all back together for the season, doubling down on training for life rather than just a temporary transformation.You've got eight episodes in full to pick up on this season, and the even better news is that season four has its 'green light' for later this year. So what are you waiting for? Hit play now, wherever you get your podcasts and we'll see you on the mats!7. UR Podcast S03E07: The Social Dimension of Fitness
34:22||Season 3, Ep. 7It's the penultimate episode of Season 3, and this week Andy and Ken dive deep into the heart of what makes a gym more than just a place to sweat: the social dimension of fitness.Are you tired of feeling like just another anonymous number in a commercial gym or struggling to find the motivation to train alone? This week's chats explore how, over the past few years, we've cultivated a 'tribe' where coaches and members genuinely know your name and support your journey.We're dipping into the social aspect of training, in particular under our own roof, where the likes of our Urban Games, UR Run Club, themed events for significant days across the year and more have helped members to grow and inspire one another.We'll touch on work-life integration, the importance of having a third space and scratch off some pain points along the way.Growing in isolation is one thing, but growing in a group, that's one thing we're great at. If you're looking to add a social dimension to your own fitness journey, drop us a DM today or check the website for more details. Or better yet, take 30 minutes out of your day and have a listen to this episode - there's just one more to come this season!6. UR Podcast S03E06: Training With Chronic Conditions
33:38||Season 3, Ep. 6What happens to your fitness journey when your body stops playing by the rules?In this week's episode of UR Podcast, we're diving into the often invisible world of training with chronic conditions.The gym floor over the years has opened up discussions on everything from heart health and diabetes to MS and Lyme, with many athletes and some of our own community fighting battles that no one else can see.Andy's been there, in the eye of the storm, and finding a path back to strength, so we'll touch on that story, but ultimately, we know that you are not your diagnosis.We'll have a look at how we figure out the minimum effective dose for training, learning to control your condition rather than letting it control you and navigating the gym floor when your symptoms aren't visible to others.Whether you're newly diagnosed, supporting a friend or training partner, or a coach looking to serve your community better, we hope you'll find something useful in this latest episode.We'd love to hear from you, too! Have you had to adjust your training due to a chronic condition? How do you meet yourself where you're at on the tough days?

32:35||Season 3, Ep. 5Life is a constant flow of transitions, but how do you maintain your momentum when your identity or routine shifts? In this week's episode of the UR Podcast, we're exploring the vital role of training through major life transitions.Whether you are navigating a career change, parenthood, injury, or the "halftime" milestone of turning 40, discover why fitness serves as an essential anchor that provides both structure and a sense of purpose during turbulent times.Drawing on his own experiences, Andy reflects on his journey through professional athletics, MMA, and chronic illness, addressing the "identity void" many face when life’s seasons change.The conversation this week also highlights how a supportive gym community can fill the social and emotional gaps left when people transition out of team sports or demanding jobs, something we'll revisit in the next fortnight.If you're looking to bridge the gap between who you were and who you want to become, this episode offers the perspective you need to control what you can control and win your day.Listen now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or urbangym.ie4. UR Podcast S03E04: The Value of UR Recovery
32:05||Season 3, Ep. 4On this week's episode of UR Podcast, we're exploring the vital role of recovery, shifting the focus from how hard we can train to how effectively we can recover from the stress we put on our bodies.Discussions this week challenge the 'hustle' mentality, looking at why downtime and protected time are crucial for both physical performance and long-term well-being.We'll touch on the benefits of active rest for managing muscle soreness and the strategic use of de-load weeks to prioritise movement quality over intensity, down to the basics of resting between sets to allow the body adapt and maintain training loads.External stressors also make an appearance, from professional life to parenting, impacting injury risk and why sleep remains the undisputed ingredient of all recovery tools. Whether we each get enough of it is another week's conversation entirely. And while we'll look at it in a later podcast this season, we'll touch on social connection and fun, and how a simple walk or a chat with friends is often more effective than high-tech recovery gadgets.Like what you're hearing so far this season?

32:28||Season 3, Ep. 3In this edition of UR Podcast, we're diving into the world of nutrition (or rather dipping our toes into it), exploring nutrition for life and how fuelling your body can impact daily performance and long-term well-being.Much like UR fitness journey, nutrition is highly individual and must be sustainable for the long haul. From keeping things simple to habit-stacking, focusing on 'low-hanging fruit' (pun not intended, but it works), to finding a balance that accommodates gym life, family life and social enjoyment, there is plenty to discuss over the course of a half hour.Sure, you'll hear talk of protein, carbohydrates and fats, but we're trading the science and macro-tracking for lived experiences, balanced routines and a dose of common sense.As always, if you have specific concerns about your own nutrition, while you may find the information and opinions in this week's episode helpful, we'll always encourage you to seek professional advice from a nutritionist or dietician, rather than trying to navigate complicated issues alone. All that said, it's time to fuel up, listen up and get stuck into episode 3!2. UR Podcast S03E02: Returning to UR Fitness Journey
33:33||Season 3, Ep. 2Whether you've taken a break from fitness due to injury, parenthood, career changes, or simply life overwhelming you, this episode is your roadmap back. On this week's edition of UR Podcast, Andy and Ken dive deep into the psychology and practicality of restarting your fitness journey, exploring why February becomes the "now or never" moment for so many people. Andy shares the powerful "fitness bank account" concept, that your previous work isn't lost, it's saved, and explains why comparing yourself to who you were can be both motivating and paralysing.From the oxygen mask principle (you can't help others if you're not healthy yourself) to managing the "all in" mentality that burns people out, this conversation is packed with real talk about meeting yourself where you're at. If you're tired of feeling tired and ready to take UR first step back, this episode will remind you that consistency beats intensity, muscle memory is real, and your health truly is your wealth.And if you are thinking on returning to fitness, reach out and speak to one of our team in confidence.
