Description

Welcome to the Fortis After Hours Podcast! 


Join Nate and Liz as they dive into unfiltered conversations about fitness, mental health, relationships, powerlifting, and everything in between. From navigating life as a married couple running a business together, to chasing PRs and personal growth outside of the gym, no topic is off-limits.


Expect honest insights, practical advice, and plenty of healthy banter as we redefine what strong really means in and out of the gym.
