This week we’ve got a very unique interview for all of you. Our host, Hassiem, sat down with Eoghan O’Kelly, the owner of Uptown Movement Gym in New York City to discuss the artist’s physical instrument. They discuss fitness and nutrition for actors and dancers, as well as some of the risks that performers face doing 8-9 shows per week, and how to best prepare for those marathon contracts. And our guest, Eoghan, isn’t just any trainer...back in 2020, he was brought on as a strength and conditioning coach for a major Broadway musical. He's on the show this week to share what he discovered during that production, and through his time working with actors and dancers in the entertainment industry. As you’ll come to hear, he knows a thing or two about the actor's instrument!
