NAUGHTY GYM SHOW - Non-Monogamy, Open Relationships, and Living Well

We are April and Scott, creators of NaughtyGym.com and this is the Naughty Gym Show. For years we’ve been fitness and nutrition coaches to thousands of people through our commercial gyms and online platform. We’ve also spent nearly a decade in an ever-evolving, open relationship. This show brings together our two biggest passions, fitness and sex positivity. Our mission is to maximize the physical, emotional, and sexual health of the sex positive community. We have demolished our old ways of thinking about relationships and from that rubble built a life full of happiness, adventure, and vitality. And now we want to help you do the same. So hop on the treadmill, start the show, and let us teach you how to Never Stop Playing.

Cupcakes, Cunnilingus, & Cuddles: Luna Matatas & Handling Rejection

In this episode of The Naughty Gym Show, we talk with Luna Matatas about choosing process over destination in polyamory/consensual non-monogamy. We get honest about owning your needs, being new and learning from CNM mistakes, and building tolerance for jealousy, rejection, and feeling left out. We also touch on why CNM demands more and deeper conversations, aligning behavior with values, and approaching community events as play and connection—costumes, kink nights, glow themes, Halloween, all of it.

Retreats, Rules & Real Love: A 15-Year Journey Beyond Monogamy

What happens when a longtime marriage says “yes” to curiosity? In this candid convo, Freddy and Andi share how a flirt turned into a slow, consent-first path to non-monogamy—and how they “accidentally” became poly. We dig into the real stuff: jealousy and the fear of being replaced, what “check-ins” actually mean (hint: eye contact isn’t enough), and why emotional regulation beats willpower when the feelings get loud. They open up about past secrecy, rebuilding trust, discovering compersion, and why retreats (hello, Expansive Connection) gave them tools that parties never could. Expect practical takeaways on requests vs. mind-reading, setting pace without pressure, navigating separate dates, and creating love that expands—without losing “my person.” Featuring: - Freddy & Andy’s 15-year journey from “big no” to sustainable poly - The exact check-in framework that stopped spirals - Lessons from men’s/women’s circles, real-time coaching, and a regulation breakthrough - Hot-wife dynamics, long-term girlfriend logistics, and staying special while sharing If you’re opening up, curious about poly, or healing after a breach, this episode is your field guide to honest rules, softer landings, and deeper love.

Celibate Swingers: Why Some People Need More Than Sex

In this playful and thought-provoking episode, Scott and April explore one of the most surprising dynamics in the lifestyle: choosing connection over sex. From “blue-ball moments” at full resort takeovers to the deeper reasons why some swingers opt for celibacy—at least for a season—this conversation is equal parts hilarious and heartfelt. They share details about upcoming Naughty Gym events (Jamaica takeover, El Salvador retreat, and even a Barcelona adventure) while reflecting on the tension between sexual freedom and the power of saying “not tonight.” This one will make you laugh, think, and maybe rethink what intimacy really means.
