What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I’ve listened for about a year, and learned quite a bit, but unfortunately am going to have to stop. The ads are done in such a way that they try to integrate it as if it’s natural conversation but it’s subtly obvious that it’s not. This makes you question everything they recommend because they’re pushing so many products they’re sponsored by. I would be fine with very clear delineation of ad content, and some of it is like that, but not even close to all of it. Hopefully they change their ethics around this and I can listen again in the future.

ShayneG · Sep 2026

Awesome show. Cannot go wrong with the advice given. Practical and useful information anyone can take action on.

Redeemed PT · Sep 2026

These guys are incredibly informative, but they also have a way of making strength, muscle, and the process of building a body feel empowering rather than something women should be trying to minimize. As a woman with a naturally more muscular frame, it’s been refreshing to hear the message that my musculature isn’t a problem—it’s literally a strength. I especially love their episodes about working through training plateaus and learning to trust the process of building rather than immediately jumping into another cut. That mindset has completely changed how I approach my own training. I’ve been applying their principles to my running and Olympic-style weightlifting routine, and I’ve never felt better. I feel stronger, perform better, and have a much healthier relationship with the process. And the guys are genuinely hilarious. I listen to Mind Pump on easy runs and have absolutely caught myself cracking up mid-run like a lunatic. 😂 I also love the conversational format and the fact that they don’t always agree—it makes the discussions feel authentic and gives you different perspectives to think through. 5/5. Informative, funny, practical, and exactly the fitness philosophy I didn’t know I was looking for.

These guys have helped change the way I approach fitness completely. I used to be a guy that overtrained and never incorporated variety in my workouts, and also prioritized fitness over my people and life. Ever since God led me to these guys, I am bought in to there programming and love it, I have a complete new relationship with fitness and nutrition, and Sal has inspired me to reignite my relationship with God. These guys also made me realize the most important thing I needed to focus on was relationships and dealing with stress in ways I never imagined. I can’t thank these guys enough for what they do. There conversations with other people is the most authentic and truthful advice out there.

Kaylor15 · Sep 2026

This podcast went tremendously downhill in the last few years. If you want to listen to nonstop advertising and shilling of things that they sell, this is a great show for you. I can’t trust anything they say because it’s all just to sell you something. Save your time, don’t listen to this hour long advertisement.
