Sam Wood: Bachelor "Never Told Before" Secrets, Building 28 and Why Strength Training Will Change Your Life in Menopause
Episode 3
Tuesday, 16 June, 2026
Ten years is a long time. The last time Sam Wood sat down with Jules on Tea with Jules, he was fresh off The Bachelor, newly in love with Snezana, and just beginning to figure out what came next. A lot has happened since then.In this episode, Jules reunites with one of Australia's most trusted voices in health and fitness, Sam Wood, founder of 28 by Sam Wood but before we get to dumbbells and discipline, Sam takes Jules behind the scenes of The Bachelor in a way he admits he has never quite done before. The story of how a gym client wouldn't take no for an answer. The moment he knew it was Snezana, weeks before the show would let him say so. The uncomfortable reality of dating other women on camera when your heart had already decided and what it was really like to go from a kids fitness trainer nobody knew to the most talked-about man in Australia, almost overnight.Then the conversation turns to where Sam is most passionate: your health. He delivers some of the most direct, useful fitness advice Jules has had on the podcast. Why strength training is non-negotiable for women over 40. Why you will not get bulky. Why the goal of how you look eventually gives way to something far more powerful. And why, if you are going through perimenopause or menopause and you are not strength training, you are doing yourself the biggest disservice of your life, his words.Connect with Sam Wood and 28:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/samjameswood/28 by Sam Wood: https://28bysamwood.com/28 Menopause Program: https://28bysamwood.com/menopause/CHAPTERS 00:06 — Introducing Sam Wood: One of Australia's Most Trusted Voices in Health and Fitness 01:08 — Welcome Back: Ten Years Since Sam Was Last on Tea with Jules 02:00 — Where It All Started: Gecko Kids and Australia's First Kids Gym 04:50 — How a Gym Client Refused to Take No for an Answer and Changed Everything 07:40 — The Boardroom Audition: Thongs, Jeans and the Head of Channel 10 09:30 — "If You Want It, You're It": The Phone Call That Launched Everything 12:00 — The Untold Story: Knowing It Was Snezana Early and Having to Keep Going Anyway 15:00 — The Producers, the Jeopardy and the Pressure to Keep It Interesting 16:00 — Blake's Situation vs Sam's: Why Sam Was Different from Day One 17:44 — The Moment Snezana Could Tell It Was Real 18:26 — Life After the Finale: The First Night Alone in a Cabin in the Blue Mountains 24:15 — "If You Didn't Pick That Single Mum, You Would Have Been the Most Hated Man in Australia" 28:00 — From the Bachelor to Building 28: The First 12 Months and 5,000 Members in 30 Days 32:00 — Progress Not Perfection: The Philosophy Behind 28 and Why It Actually Works 37:15 — Keeping It Real: Why Showing the Messy Side of Life Builds the Deepest Community 41:00 — What It Feels Like When Your Body Stops Responding the Way It Always Has 42:37 — Why Health and Fitness Is the Greatest Gift You Can Give Yourself 44:20 — Why Your Reason to Train Changes As You Get Older and Why That Matters 45:30 — The Non-Negotiable for Women Over 40: Strength Training, Full Stop 47:00 — You Will Not Get Bulky: Setting the Record Straight Once and for All 50:38 — Thank You Sam Wood and Wrapping Up Tea with Jules#TeaWithJules #JulesSebastian #SamWood #28BySamWood #28Menopause #MenopauseSupport #PerimenopauseHelp #StrengthTraining #WomensHealth #FitnessOver40 #HealthAndWellness #TheBachelorAustralia #BachelorSecrets #SnezanaWood #AustralianFitness #FitnessMotivation #MenopauseMovement #WomensWellness #AustralianPodcast #PodcastForMums #TeaWithJulesPodcast #FitnessForWomen #HealthyLiving #WellbeingPodcast #ProgressNotPerfection #SayYes #MindsetMatters #NewEpisode #FitnessInspiration #RealTalk Hosted on Acast.
