This Week on The Inside Track Podcast Podcast: Jez Tapping on Elevating the Climbing Industry
In this episode, Ryan Charlesworth is joined by Jez Tapping – a leading consultant in the indoor climbing industry, with decades of hands-on experience in facility operations, leadership, and business development.
Jez shares his insights on the unique challenges and opportunities within the world of indoor climbing, from improving member engagement and retention, to creating safer, more inclusive spaces that support community growth. We explore what climbing facilities can learn from the broader fitness industry, and where climbing has the edge when it comes to building loyal, passionate member bases.
We also dive into the operational side – staff development, customer experience, and what the future looks like for climbing centres as the sport continues to grow globally. Jez brings a grounded but visionary perspective, drawing on years of experience and a clear passion for pushing the industry forward.
Whether you're involved in climbing, run a fitness facility, or just love hearing how niche sectors can innovate and thrive – this conversation is packed with practical insights and inspiration.

This Week on The Inside Track Podcast: Our 100th Episode with Dr Glenda Rivoallan
We're celebrating a huge milestone – our 100th episode – and who better to join us than Dr Glenda Rivoallan, our founding host of The Inside Track Podcast and a driving force behind our first five series.
Known as Dr G, Glenda is the founder of WeTalkWellbeing and author of the brilliantly titled Resilient as Fudge. She's a powerful voice in the fitness and wellbeing space – a speaker, mentor, and industry disruptor – and in this episode, we dive into why resilience matters not just for leaders, but for gym clients and members too.
We explore Glenda’s mission to introduce qualified Wellbeing Coaches into every fitness club, giving members access to better support, mindset guidance and genuine transformation. She also shares her perspective on the growing conversation around GLP-1 treatments – and why the fitness industry needs to lead with education, not judgement.
Plus, we discuss her book’s unique format and how it delivers learning with heart, humour and impact.
It’s a powerful, honest, and inspiring conversation that celebrates our journey so far – and what’s next for the fitness industry.
