Do you think about longevity when it comes to fitness? In this podcast episode, host Tarek welcomes a special guest, Sebastian Ellis, to explore the science and art of living a better, healthier, and more satisfying life as the years roll on - and teaching others to do the same. Learn why longevity isn't just about adding years but about finding joy, fulfilment, and keeping our bodies strong as we age. Sebastian shares a refreshing take on moving beyond appearances. He talks about the challenge of teaching people to embrace lasting health, spanning workouts, nutrition, sleep, and daily choices. Tarek and Sebastian stress the role of learning and creating gyms that support an all-around approach to fitness. You’ll also hear clever ways to build a sense of belonging and encourage movement in different forms, both inside and outside the gym. He shows us how gym leaders can be role models, fostering an inspiring environment for a longer, healthier life.
