Self-Improvement Health & Fitness

Season 1

The Shortcut Shot

The girls are back with a weekend debrief that can only be described as… on brand. Tracy’s officially in her dating era again, using Hinge men as a pregame for DJ sets with her friends (because who needs a commitment when you have cocktails and a good beat drop?). Meanwhile, Mackenzie is sending risky texts and ending up exactly where she shouldn’t (IYKYK). Then your favorite fitness therapists clock in for this week’s topic: GLP-1s and the quick-fix culture takeover. From Ozempic to Wegovy, we’re unpacking why society is obsessed with shortcuts, the health risks of using these meds without prescriptions, and whether celebrities owe us honesty about their use. Are we in our wellness era or our delusional one? Tune in for hot takes, real talk, and a reminder that there’s no shortcut to self-worth.

Makena Diehl: Hustle Meets Heart

This week, Tracy and Mackenzie are joined by Makena Diehl - star group fitness trainer at Equinox, founding instructor at NYC’s hottest (literally) new studio Fuzehouse, FP Movement ambassador, and creator of her own format. The three of us go way back to our early DanceBody days, when Makena was just starting to make a name for herself in the NYC fitness scene. Spoiler alert: she’s taken off. We dive deep into Makena’s journey from landing her first teaching gigs to growing her platform across some of the biggest names in fitness. She shares the real differences between working with legacy brands vs. doing her own thing, how she built a loyal following, and the “why” that keeps her showing up in the studio day after day. Makena also opens up about her personal experience with disordered eating and body image, and how that has shaped her language, teaching style, and approach to movement. Of course, we wrap it up Fit Happens–style, chatting about balance, burnout, and what it means to build a life outside of the gym. **TW: This episode includes conversations around disordered eating, body image, and recovery. Please take care while listening, and skip this episode if these topics may be triggering to you.

HGW Therapy

This week's episode is a Hot Girl Walk therapy sesh filled with shoulder rolls and self talk. But first, the girls are… adulting?? Mackenzie has somehow added another job to her roster, and Tracy officially cut off a man who wasn’t prioritizing her time (growth!). After some juicy life updates, your wellness besties step into therapist mode - think deep breaths, shoulder rolls, and a whole lot of truth bombs. This is your feel-good, hot-girl-walk episode packed with inspirational words of wisdom, advice for combating negative self-talk, and gentle reminders that you’ve got this. Lace up, pop in your AirPods, and let’s get into it

The Life of a Fit Girl

This episode kicks off like a surprise song you didn't see coming! Tracy hits us with a life update that's giving "I Did Something Bad" - let’s just say she secured the Great Dance Floor Makeout of 2025… with someone she definitely shouldn’t have been kissing. (Is it a bad idea? Probably. Is it hot? Absolutely.) Meanwhile, Mackenzie takes us back to the Hamptons, where the girlies left a party with total strangers only to end up petting horses at 2am. Survival instincts? Nonexistent. Vibes? Flawless. Then we dive into our main event: Taylor Swift eras as fitness stereotypes. From the Pilates Princesses of Lover, to the Cycling Queens of Red, to the Reputation Gym Baddie who absolutely does not skip leg day - we’re assigning each era its rightful place in the fitness studio. Warning: there are hot takes, possible "My Tears Ricochet" tangents, and maybe even a little reputation-level chaos. So throw on your headphones and let's get into it - this one's a certified banger.

Bobby Westside: The Birth of Adonis

We’re kicking things off with a weekend recap you won’t want to miss. Tracy is fresh off a work trip in Miami where she may or may not have become betrothed to a man with a convertible, Mackenzie had the most wholesome mom-and-daughter weekend complete with finally seeing Wicked on Broadway (yes, she somehow avoided spoilers for 20 years), and our guest Bobby spent several days in full NYC demon mode. Which brings us to our interview with the man, the myth, the legend - Bobby Westside. He’s not only a powerhouse trainer in New York City but also the founder of Adonis, the app that’s reshaping how clients connect with personal trainers. We dive into his fitness journey, the inspiration behind building Adonis, what life as a founder really looks like, and how he balances chasing big goals with still making time for health, fun, and life outside the gym. So grab your matcha (or a 20 piece McNugget meal) and let’s get into it.

Boundary Babe Bootcamp

This week’s episode is a ride. First, we’re recapping our weekends - Tracy went on a date with an old coworker crush that turned into pure chaos (think: shots at the table, impromptu live performances, and somehow giving the waiter dating advice by the end of the night). Meanwhile, Mackenzie has some former flames sliding back into her life… but this time they’re asking for business advice?! Then we dive into this week’s topic: Boundaries. We’re talking romantic boundaries (yes, including situationships), friendship boundaries (goodbye, passive-aggressive group chats), work boundaries (no, you don’t have to answer that Slack at 10 PM), fitness and wellness boundaries (no more guilt if you miss a class), and even digital/family/life boundaries that keep your peace intact. By the end of this episode, you’ll have permission to say no without guilt, scripts to protect your time and energy, and the confidence to step fully into your Boundary Babe Era.

Fall (F)it Girl Syllabus

This week on Fit Happens, Tracy and Mackenzie are a little too giggly (did someone say pre-pod smoke sesh?), and it shows. We kick things off with our weekly recap: fun events around the city, yet another trip to pod-favorite Bondst (jury’s still out on how to pronounce it), and a little teaser for our chaotic Labor Day Weekend in the Hamptons - buckle up because we're in for a wild ride. Then we dive into the topic of the week: our Back to School (F)It Girl Guide. Think of it as your fall syllabus for becoming the hottest, healthiest, and most main-character version of yourself. From fitness hacks to beauty resets, cozy wellness swaps to social glow-ups, we’re breaking down everything you need to start the season strong. Because back to school isn’t just for students, it’s for every girl ready to get her life together and look good doing it.

The Critics Cleanse

Hot girl summer may be wrapping up, but your Fit Happens girls are still in the thick of the chaos. This week, Tracy and Mackenzie spill all the tea on their summer romances - from Raya flings to messy breakups, confusing friend crushes, and a very real campaign to bring back the lost art of the dance floor make-out (seriously, when did that die?). After the recap, we dive into this week’s topic: silencing criticism. Whether it’s judgment from peers, pressure from social media, or that nagging voice in your own head, the noise can get loud. We’re breaking down how to tune it out - in your fitness journey, health routines, career hustle, or personal timeline - and start living with more confidence, self-trust, and maybe even a little delusion (the good kind). Because at the end of the day, haters gonna hate, but we’re too busy thriving.

Pilates, Prosecco, & Potential Boyfriends

This week on Fit Happens, your fav duo is back at it again with a crazy weekend recap aka swatting men away like flies at a NYC rooftop (spoiler alert: none of them were over the age of 25). Then we dive into some insane dating lore - Mackenzie spills the tea on the time she got literally handcuffed to her hot trainer, and Tracy shares the unforgettable dinner date where a man blacked out and went skiing… at the dinner table (yes, you heard that right.) All roads lead to the bigger convo: why it actually matters to find a partner whose lifestyle aligns with yours. We’re talking dating in your wellness era - where to look for men with the same priorities, how to slide in more active date suggestions without being cringe, and balancing romance with your work week hustle. Of course, we break down all the green flags, red flags, and ultimate icks along the way. So grab your matcha and maybe open up your Hinge app (if you dare) because dating in 2025 just got a wellness upgrade.

Less Grinding, More Crushing

This week on Fit Happens, we’re bringing you a little bit of zen and a whole lot of chaos. Mackenzie is fresh off her 28th birthday celebrations (think spa energy, delicious cake, and zero drama), while Tracy’s weekend involved an out-of-town friend, a possible crush, and just the right amount of “what did I get myself into?” vibes. Then we’re diving headfirst into the main event: hustle culture—why it’s got us running on caffeine and cortisol, and how to finally girlboss without the burnout. We’re breaking down why society expects us to do a million things at once, and spilling our best tips for keeping your calendar full and your sanity intact. Spoiler: you can chase your dreams and your crush.
