In this inspiring Beast Over Burden episode, Nikki Sims and Andrew Jackson sit down with Kayleigh and Jeff to explore strength training for couples, overcoming burnout, building sustainable routines, and transforming body composition with intention and patience.
What This Episode Is AboutWhen Kayleigh and Jeff started lifting together, they didn't just change their strength — they changed their lives. What began with a difficult vacation photo became a powerful journey of discipline, weight loss, personal growth, and deep partnership. Today, they train together four days per week in their garage, navigate nutrition together, problem-solve injuries, and continue to grow stronger as individuals and as a team.
Whether you lift with your spouse, want to lift with your spouse, or simply want to build more consistency in your own training, this episode offers real-life insight into what it takes to create sustainable, long-term change.
Key Topics CoveredHow Kayleigh went from intimidated by barbells to topping the leaderboard at her gym
Why weight loss required lifestyle change—not just training
The power of a simple daily checklist
Jeff's early strength training background and how he introduced Kayleigh to lifting
Why many couples struggle training together—and how these two made it work
Navigating burnout, under-recovery, and shifting priorities
Training through shoulder pain and building the patience to modify training
Sustainable weight loss strategies, including eating the same meals, tracking, and taking breaks
Why "strength training for couples" works only when each partner maintains ownership of their own journey
Using constraints to simplify nutrition and decision-making
The importance of deliberate maintenance phases during long cuts
Building a family culture of fitness, sustainability, and consistency
If you're navigating motivation challenges, recovery issues, weight loss plateaus, training with a spouse, or simply trying to build better habits, this conversation gives you a grounded, honest look at what it truly takes to change your life—slowly, consistently, and together.
