Unveiling Smittyville: The Podcast for Personal Trainers
In the dynamic world of fitness, personal trainers often find themselves navigating not just workouts, but also the intricacies of building a sustainable career. Enter “Smittyville,” a new podcast dedicated to supporting trainers on their professional journeys. Hosted by Chris Smith, an industry veteran with over 25 years of experience, this biweekly podcast provides essential insights on leadership, financial stability, and the continuously evolving landscape of the fitness profession.
Smittyville goes beyond typical fitness discussions; it addresses the real concerns trainers face each day. How can trainers cultivate a steady income? What does effective leadership look like in a gym setting? How can they build trusting relationships with clients? These critical topics make Smittyville a valuable resource for trainers eager to enhance their professional life and not just their client numbers.
Chris Smith, who serves as the President and CEO of Fitness World Canada, draws upon his extensive background to lead meaningful conversations. Having operated multiple locations and mentored countless trainers, Smith also chairs the Health and Fitness Association, offering him a holistic perspective on current trends and challenges in the industry.
According to Smith, Smittyville arose from frequent conversations with trainers seeking guidance. “I receive similar questions from coaches across the board,” he shares. “This podcast aims to address those inquiries directly and provide insights that help trainers create lasting careers.”
Each episode is crafted to be both informative and practical, featuring open dialogues on topics such as Personal Trainer Education, coaching strategies, confidence-building tactics, and forward-thinking career planning. Co-host Krissy Vann, a journalist and media producer with a keen understanding of the fitness industry, joins Smith to present a blend of leadership insight and industry reporting, giving voice to narratives often overlooked in conventional fitness media.
One of the latest episodes explores a pressing question: “Will AI Replace Trainers?” In this timely discussion, Smith and Vann examine how emerging technologies are shaping the fitness profession, what AI can truly replicate, and strategies trainers can adopt to secure their future in the industry. With contributions from their AI co-host “Bad Ass Betty,” the episode discusses the supportive roles technology can play while highlighting what remains irreplaceable in personal training.
Smittyville is produced by All Things Fitness and Wellness, a platform known for its in-depth interviews and comprehensive fitness industry analysis. Catering directly to the trainers and coaches who drive the wellness movement, episodes are released biweekly and can be found on major platforms like YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, iHeartRadio, and Buzzsprout.
