Rifle Down, Reformer Up with Tim Gough #57
57 min
After 16 tours in 30 years with the military, Tim Gough faced a different kind of challenge upon arriving home: working out who he was beyond the uniform. While many ex-military find work in defence, protection, and other security-adjacent roles, Tim found something entirely unique - pilates. This week on ‘Off Script’, Tim talks candidly about the pressures of service, leaving a career that shaped him, and discovering a new purpose with his wife, Millie, and with Vagabond Pilates. Tim also shares more on making pilates welcoming to men, his experience with therapy, and learning to handle everyday setbacks without treating them like life-or-death stakes. This episode covers Tim’s 30-year military career, and building a life beyond it The pressure of special forces selection and the lessons he took from trying again How military habits carried into civilian life, including a tendency to catastrophise Why Tim moved into Pilates, and making it approachable for men Therapy, men’s mental health, and the studio’s plans to support anyone Tim Gough https://www.linkedin.com/in/tim-gough-6a8b9294/ https://www.instagram.com/tim_vagabondpilates/ Vagabond Pilates https://www.vagabondpilates.co.uk/ https://www.instagram.com/vagabond_pilates/ https://www.tiktok.com/@vagabondpilates Ty Temel Instagram: https://ww.instagram.com/ty_temel Learn more about your ad choices.
