Been following Chalene a long time, even had her on OUR podcast. She’s as real as they come, and I realized I never left a review. I’m on her patreon and that’s really where it’s at. As a 40 something woman, Chalene is the big sister I didn’t know I needed

Have known Chalene since I was certified in Turbokick but recently started listening for the over-40 content, subscribed to Patreon (highly recommend) and it’s fun, funny, informative and REAL! Must-listen for us mature gals❤️

Thank you Charlene for your latest podcast and talking about your past obsession with over exercising. I too was in this category for many many years and at 59 have been trying to let it go and not beat myself up if I miss a daily workout or do not exercise that day. I think you finally made it click for me and I thank you so much for all your knowledge and wisdom!

I’ve been a fan of Chalene since Beach Body. She is a great trainer in any workout program shes been in!!: easy to understand, motivating, relatable and a positive aura that shines through the screen and pod!! She’s the one person I can count on, as I get older, to help understand what’s going with hormones, life expectations, health & nutrition! This recent episode of dating, divorce was awesome! As women we look for answers or advice because we consider every angle. Hearing other women’s perspective really helps you reflect and relate on your own thoughts and tribulations. Definite must for all the things women & empowerment! Thank you Chalene for all you do!!

I used to be a loyal listener and genuinely enjoyed this podcast. The advice felt thoughtful, practical, and well-researched.
Over the past year, though, I found myself finishing fewer episodes. Eventually, I realized the tone had changed. For a while she was strongly anti-alcohol. I don’t really drink so that was fine, just not interesting after a couple of episodes and it seemed like she was railing on anyone who still drinks at all. Now there seems to be a strong focus on criticizing GLP-1 use, and the discussion often feels dismissive of people whose schedules and responsibilities make health and weight management more challenging. Who are the skinny people abusing GLP-1 meds she keeps talking about? Anyone I know who used them needed to lose weight.
What finally pushed me away was the growing sense that the show has become out of touch with the reality many listeners live in. Many of us have demanding careers, children, aging parents, and household responsibilities. We can’t structure our days around multiple walks, lengthy workouts, and hours devoted to optimizing our health and marriage. That doesn’t mean we’re lazy or making excuses, it means we’re balancing real-life obligations.
I still think Chalene has valuable insights sometimes, but she generally seems judgmental and lacking empathy for people whose lives look different than hers.

Normally love the podcast but this one just didn’t sit well especially at end around the generalizations around how parents should act w adult children- yes some truths but a slippery slope on a few things. I love your more fun content better. Will continue to listen just prefer other topics from you. 😊
