Max Larocque (@MaxLarocqueFit) is a personal trainer, life coach, co-owner of F.R.E.E Fit gym in Edmonton, and host of the Squats and Sober Thoughts Podcast. He’s a deep thinker and has a huge heart. He leads by example with his own fitness and self-improvement and leads others towards the same healthy lifestyle.

This episode was eye opening. Max helped me realize something I’ve personally been thinking about for almost 2 years. There are so many connections to fitness and life and mental health that it’s no longer possible to separate these things, and this is exactly what we spoke about in this chat.

We also spoke about body dysmorphia, addiction, neurodivergence and how all of this is tied to mental health and fitness and everything in between.

Sit down, settle in, and enjoy, because you’re about to learn a few things that might change your life.
