Superb

I am not a coach but general fitness enthusiast yet I still really enjoy listening to MDV and co, so much related content, food for thought and laughs in this podcast. Always interesting , I mostly listen in the car on the way to work whilst drinking a coffee. Surprisingly all topics perfectly related across the pond too. Thanks to MDV brilliant guy who practices what he preaches.

Refreshing, educational and visionary

It’s very refreshing to hear such an honest take on the fitness industry and where it needs to go to rise the tides.
Me and my team discuss similar themes to the podcast a lot so it is great to hear coaches we respect talk about the same topics and to hear their take on it.

Along the way there are some absolute gems that will blow the minds of new coaches and remind the OG coaches along the way and maybe even be new info for those old school dudes and gals out there that have been coaching a while and maybe not kept on top of their CPD studying.

Well done, I look forward to each episode!
