What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I read the book Calisthenics for Beginners and then I found out the author also has a podcast, I was happy to find out it has just as much great advice, knowledge, and information as the book he published. It also let me learn more about the author and his thoughts into the practice of Calisthenics. I would recommend anybody looking to learn more to give this podcast a listen, or even to check out the book which will give you a great foundation and workouts to start off with. 10/10

Matt has a wealth of knowledge for every man and women looking to better their health, diet and fitness, short and long term. Between his website, Instagram profile, YouTube channel and podcast he doesn't miss a beat. Nobody in all the years I've been working out has provided me with more to ponder, apply to me training and aided in my progress more than him and his content. He cares about, listens to and responds to his followers by tailoring his content to what we want and need to hear. He has been in the bodyweight training game for years, but never ceases to provide something new every week for those seeking to up their game. There is something for everyone in the RDP podcast willing to listen. Keep it up Matt! Everybody who listens and follows you appreciates it and I myself find your content to be a necessary ally in my bodyweight training progressions. Your hard work and effort keeps me in the grind and I look forward to your podcast every week!

Matt and the Red Delta Project/Podcast is one of my and should be anyone’s too resources for not just calisthenics but health and fitness. Definitely worthy of five stars! He has a simplistic and easily approachable technique. Even if calisthenics isn’t your thing you can still find his methods applicable to other fitness approaches. Give it a listen, check out his YouTube, and go check him out online. You won’t be disappointed!
