Atalanta

This week we’re joined by a familiar face, sports dietitian, author and ultra-runner Renee McGregor, alongside filmmaker Ellie Green, director of the film Unfiltered.

The film gives us a deeper insight into Renee as a person, beyond the professional and expert we’ve come to know through her work. In this episode, we hear the story behind ‘Unfiltered’ from both sides of the camera — from how a friendship naturally grew into a year-long filmmaking project, to what it was like for Renee to see her story brought to life on screen.

We chat about vulnerability, trust, the importance of being truly heard and seen, and why having the right people around you can be such a powerful part of resilience. Renee also shares her thoughts on the changing running world, diversity in the outdoors, the pressure to constantly do more, and why there’s no rush when it comes to your own journey.

Ellie gives us a behind-the-scenes look at the responsibility of telling someone else’s story, particularly when that story involves difficult and deeply personal experiences.

An honest conversation about women, sport, identity, friendship, resilience and the stories we choose to tell.

This week we’re joined by Maddy Furnival — strength coach, physio, lululemon ambassador and hybrid athlete.

Maddy shares her journey through a major injury, discovering weightlifting and then finding her way into CrossFit. She also opens up about her previous relationship with food, body image and a time in her life she was trying to make herself as small as possible.

We chat about how that mindset has changed, and why Maddy now focuses on getting stronger, performing well and enjoying what her body can do. 

We also dive into the ups and downs of social media, how the content we consume can influence the way we think about ourselves, and the importance of surrounding yourself with right people.

A conversation about consistency, playing the long game, celebrating the wins and remembering that it’s you vs you. You don’t need to be the best in the room — just keep showing up, doing your best and enjoying the journey.

On this week’s episode, we’re joined by CrossFit Games athlete Holly Tynan. Holly finished 17th at this year’s Games, becoming the highest-placing female rookie.

We talk through Holly’s journey to the Games — from previous injury, to the qualification process, and how she secured her spot at her first CrossFit Games a year earlier than expected.

We get to hear first-hand what it’s like competing at the Ranch and in the Coliseum alongside the best athletes in the world. Holly shares her favourite moments, lessons learned and top tips for competing across back-to-back events.

This is a great episode which we LOVED recording. Holly lives just down the road from us, so getting to sit down in person over a cuppa made it even better.

A top girl, incredible athlete and very humble human — we hope you enjoy listening. Thanks, Holly! ❤️

This week we’re joined by Camille Grimes — coach, athlete and co-owner of Phase 7 alongside Lauren Calvert.

Camille takes us through her journey from working in construction to becoming a full-time coach, discovering HYROX before it exploded, and building the community that would eventually become Phase 7.

We chat about creating the growth of Phase 7, the infamous Death Camps and track sessions, the challenges of building a business, and why community has always been at the heart of what she does.

Camille also shares her thoughts on coaching, the pressure to compete as a coach, rebuilding fitness after time away, and the importance of not letting other people tell you what you can and can’t do. A proper honest, funny and inspiring chat with a woman who has built something pretty special.

This week on the Atalanta Podcast, we’re joined by Amelia Ellery (@meelspt) and Lauren Harris (@loz_visuals) — two women who have carved out their own space in the fitness, hybrid and content world.

Amelia is an online coach specialising in strength, running and HYROX, while Lauren is the photographer and videographer behind Loz Visuals, creating content for athletes, brands and events around the world.

We chat about how their careers have evolved, from Amelia building an online coaching business and community, to Lauren turning what started as filming a HYROX race on an iPhone into a full-time career behind the camera.

We get into the reality of working and travelling together, how their different personalities and skill sets complement each other, the growing demand for content in the hybrid fitness space, and what actually goes on behind the scenes at a race weekend.

We also talk about creating content for women, why having more female videographers in sport matters, the importance of community, taking opportunities when they come your way, and why sometimes you just have to say yes and figure the rest out later.

A really honest conversation about building careers that fit your life, taking risks, and creating your own opportunities.
