Transforming Health Through Local Connections with WildStrong

“I think the fitness industry took a wrong turn when it
adopted a top down model of fitness education. I also feel there
is too much emphasis on working out alone and the collection of
arbitrary data. WildStrong is the opportunity to embed movement
in a community setting, with tangible benefits, creating a
peer-lead, distributed model of health practice.”


In this week’s episode, we delve into the world of
community-based health and fitness with guests Andrew Telfer and
Gill Erskine, co-founders of WildStrong. Andrew, a public health
professional with over 15 years of experience in strength and
conditioning coaching, brings a wealth of knowledge about health
promotion and achievable exercise for longevity. Gill, with a
background in environmental politics and a passion for community
building, co-founded WildStrong to create space for people to
move more and get stronger, regardless of their gym-going habits.
Together, they discuss the intersection of public health and
local, community-based physical activity, sharing insights on
building connections, fostering community engagement, and
promoting holistic well-being.
