The Greatest Podcast for Everything Fitness

I've been listening for over 4 years now. As a trainer the information these guys give to help grow in your career has been extremely beneficial for me! I've learned so much over the years that it has helped me become a better trainer. The best podcast for anyone looking for the most accurate fitness related information. The intros are pretty awesome too!

lizzzzzzeeeeeeee ,

❤️

I love this podcast. Adam, Sal and Justin have taught me how to train for life. They have thought me how to have a healthy relationship with food and exercise. I wish I would’ve listened to them sooner.

SprocketLovesRuby ,

It’s Always Sunny in San Jose 😎 💪🏼

I love this show, and each guy has a special place in my heart. So if Adam is Dennis, Sal is Mac and Justin is Charlie, would that make Doug…Danny Devito?

Thank you for all you do! 🙏
