What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I am a SAHM with a busy schedule but thanks to this podcast I passed NASM in 50 days. I didn’t study everyday. But I did listen to the same 10 podcasts over and over. Thank you for the help and for the motivation to be an actual personal trainer. Not just someone with a certification. I’ll never stop showin up!

Hillasunray · Sep 2026

I love how SUF tells you exactly what you need to know to Pass the NASM. Let’s be honest, if we’re going into training, we are hands on learners. Pass the test, then learn from experienced trainers about how to be a good CPT

ThatFitNurse_614 · Jul 2026

Chris Hitchko brings SO MUCH energy and excitement to every podcast and YouTube videos! His level of knowledge and method of teaching is something magical to watch and listen to! I’m new to this career field and beyond excited to keep learning and growing!

Doretha H · May 2026

The content is straightforward, practical, and actually makes the material click in a way the textbook doesn't. If you're trying to break into fitness and personal training this is a must listen. Highly recommend to anyone serious about their fitness career.
