EP19 | Arrow Strength | Muscle, Munchies and Movember Madness | Local Heroes Podcast

This week, Chris and Dan welcome Joe Arrowsmith and Steve Hoggy from the powerhouse that is Arrow Strength Gym and things get loud, honest, and hilarious. Let’s get this out of the way: the podcast studio? It’s not a rip-off of Arrow it's an ode. A very sincere, 99% identical ode. Because when a space is built with blood, guts, community, and purpose, it’s hard not to be inspired.

This episode is packed with everything that makes Arrow so special: effort over ego, inclusivity, and the value of just showing up, even when it's hard. From gym floor stories and Movember madness to late-night snack disasters and that unforgettable Greggs order, it’s equal parts chaos and connection.

What’s inside:

💥 Building a gym with grit, inclusivity, and no-bullshit values

🏋️‍♂️ Why showing up beats being perfect - every time

🍔 Joe’s munchies madness and a legendary Greggs order you won’t believe

🩸 Real talk on the blood, guts, and effort it takes to build a space that matters It’s bold, it’s real, and it’s a reminder that you don’t need to have it all together - you just need to turn up.
