Are you exhausted by Instagram trainers promising you'll drop 30 pounds in 30 days if you just "grind harder"? In this unfiltered guest episode, Eli sits down with his own personal trainer, Ambrose, to expose the absolute BS of the modern fitness industry. Ambrose breaks down why he walked away from a six-figure tech job at Meta to become a trainer who actually gives a damn about your mental health. They dive deep into the real reasons you aren't seeing results—unpacking how stress, binge eating, and a society designed to keep you sedentary are secretly sabotaging your goals. From redefining what it means to track your habits to realizing why your late-night Uber Eats habit is just a coping mechanism for your anxiety, this episode is a massive reality check. Get ready to stop beating yourself up over the scale and finally learn the mental shifts required to build a body (and a life) you actually love.
About the Guest: Ambrose is an online fitness coach, athlete, and the founder of Body by Ambrose. After leaving behind a six-figure corporate career in tech (including a stint at Meta) and leveraging his background as a forensic accountant, Ambrose pivoted to the fitness industry to relentlessly call out its BS. He specializes in helping everyday people—especially women—achieve massive physical and mental transformations by focusing on habit-tracking, stress management, and realistic performance goals rather than toxic diet culture.
