NAUGHTY GYM SHOW - Intersection of Non-Monogamy & Wellness

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.

Rage, Hormones, And Vaginal Dryness: The Real Talk You've Never Heard About Menopause.

What do menopause, flogging, and protein-packed bento boxes have in common? This episode. Join April and guest Catherine of Expansive Connection Coaching for a no-BS, deeply personal, and often laugh-out-loud conversation about menopause, perimenopause, and postmenopause—from hormonal chaos to body image shifts, from low libido to wild awakenings. They bust myths, share their own messy transitions, and explain why your sex life can get better (yes, better) after 40. This isn’t just a women’s episode. If you have a partner who menstruates—or used to—you need to hear this. The emotional, physical, and sexual transformations of menopause don’t just affect one person in the relationship. They ripple outward. And the more you know, the less likely you are to end up “curbed” by the love of your life. Plus: the behind-the-scenes story of their upcoming Wild and Wise Women’s Retreat, and why this stage of life might be your most powerful one yet.

🎙️ Fitness Without Fences: Building Inclusive Spaces for the LGBTQ+ Community with Cara Turnquist

In this powerful Pride Month episode of The Naughty Gym Show, we sit down with advocate and fitness coach Cara Turnquist to tackle one of the fitness industry’s lingering blind spots: true inclusivity for LGBTQ+ individuals. 👉 Why do so many gyms remain unwelcoming—even if they don’t explicitly exclude? 👉 What are the invisible barriers LGBTQ+ folks face just walking into a fitness space? 👉 And why do those of us with privilege have a moral responsibility to fight for change? Cara shares the origin of her groundbreaking Lift Up program (a safe, empowering gym experience for LGBTQ+ members), personal stories of navigating fatphobia and exclusion, and why representation, small language shifts, and fearless advocacy matter more than ever. We also unpack: ✅ How gym owners & fitness professionals can make spaces truly inclusive ✅ Why locker rooms and bathrooms are still battlegrounds ✅ How allies can stop sitting quietly on the sidelines ✅ The myth of “neutrality” in today’s climate ✅ Actionable steps for building community and saving lives through fitness This isn’t just about rainbows on the wall. It’s about creating spaces where everyone feels safe, seen, and free to take up space. If you’re a gym owner, a coach, a fitness lover—or simply someone who gives a damn about making the world better—this episode is a must-listen. 🎧

Bisexuality in the Lifestyle: Myths, Truths, & Allyship

In this episode, we’re diving deep into what it means to be openly bisexual in swinger and ethically non-monogamous (ENM) spaces, and why it’s time to break the stigma, especially around male bisexuality. As a bisexual married couple, we’re often assumed to be straight. But bisexuality doesn’t disappear just because you’re in a “hetero-presenting” relationship. We’re sharing our personal experiences, the double standards we’ve faced, and how we’ve learned to show up more unapologetically in the lifestyle. We’ll also explore: • Why male bisexuality is still taboo in many swinger spaces • How female bisexuality often gets fetishized instead of validated • How to start exploring your own bisexuality, whether you’re male, female, partnered, or solo • What real allyship looks like in non-monogamous communities Whether you’re bi, questioning, or just want to be a better ally, this episode is for you. 🏳️‍🌈 You deserve to be seen. Your identity is valid. And there’s space for you here.
