The Fitness in Philosophy podcast is dedicated to discussing the
intersection between concepts in philosophy and their connection
with fitness. Each episode we talk about a particular philosophical
concept like autonomy, knowledge, virtue, truth, etc. and discuss
how that idea connects with coaching fitness, participating in
fitness as an individual, and fitness culture at large. It is
hosted by James FitzGerald and Robby Gustin.About the Hosts:James
