    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
    Mike and Jordan, you’ve been my road companions for four incredible years now. I absolutely love listening to your educational content and your great conversations. You two are absolutely awesome!

    Best Podcast Out There
    I’m writing this because Mike said we have to, and I do everything Mike & Jordan tell me to do. But seriously, love this podcast for so many reasons aside from the great fitness info, current affairs, Mike’s pillow placement for sleeping, Jordan’s love of rice cakes….it has it all! Their rapport is fantastic and I could listen to them talk all day about any subject you can name.
  • Well, I’ll be
    good stuff
    I’m not a personal trainer but I love hearing these dudes talk. I care about the scrolling! Keep talking about it, Mike!
  • SpaceStationMir
    Awesome podcast
    I love these guys. They speak from the heart and I love that they are not afraid to discuss controversial fitness and non-fitness topics! I just listened to the “They Shot Trump” episode so here is my 5-star review. I learn a ton from listening every week. I’m just a 38 year old mom of 2 who works out in her basement. Listening to this podcast motivates me and gives me something to look forward to.

    Love these guys!
    I am not a personal trainer and have no aspirations to be one but this is one of my top three favorite podcasts.

    Love your podcast and look forward to a new episode each week. I’m not a personal trainer, but into fitness/health and appreciate everything I’m learning from your show. The non-fitness/off-track conversations are even better and keep me coming back for more. Thanks for creating entertaining, educational, funny, honest, common sense content. More people need to listen to what you’re sharing!
  • Annieg11
    Perspective
    Confirmation bias is real and I like to seek out that which confirms my beliefs. There is such discomfort in listening to another perspective on anything we hold dear. However, with having deep respect for Jordan I listened knowing full well I’d be uncomfortable. And I was and I’m so grateful I listened with curiosity rather than judgement. As a wise friend once said “comfort doesn’t change you” and since I decided to always seek to grow here I am with increíble gratitude to you both. Thank you for this conversation.
  • james willflower
    Just talk about fitness
    Stick to just talking about fitness. People aren’t listening to your podcast to hear about politics. It’s irrelevant
  • bleighbow
    My favorite guys to listen to
    Even if I wasn’t a personal trainer, I would still listen to Jordan and Mike - I actually have a mad crush on Mike’s personality lol but I could seriously listen to them both all day. Thank you for consistently putting these episodes out. They’re always insightful and funny! I appreciate you both so much!
  • Maxxxamillion
    Just starting out
    Currently just starting to listen to you guys, and I’m starting at the beginning but I’m a few shows in and I enjoy all the info you guys are throwing out there. I’ve been a gym goer/lover since 8th grade. In ‘21 I bought a gym I was a member of (circumstance was just right). I’ve always had a passion for fitness and love being part of offering the community a safe place to focus on themselves. Currently perusing some coaching and nutrition classes to further help my members and hopfully bring some more in. It makes me happy to see some of my choices are inline already with your advice. It’s not a money maker just yet. But, I offer better prices and customer service that isn’t available at other local gyms. Can’t wait to dive deeper into this and unlock my gyms and my own potential.

    Please crop and post “Bulging disc” every time. Love you guys.
  • Mike Mac 12
    They keep it real.
    Glad we still have people out there who aren’t afraid to tell the listeners what they need to hear instead of what they want to hear. Too many people are soft nowadays. These guys aren’t.

    My Favorite Podcast!
    Every week I look forward to this podcast! I am not even interested in becoming a personal trainer, just a lover of everything fitness & wellness. This podcast is easily my favorite - the content is excellent, second to none, and Jordan & Mike are quite entertaining to listen to as well!

    I love every one of your episodes. You guys are funny, engaging and so knowledgeable! I look forward to your podcast every week!

    Refreshing
    Love this podcast, todays episode particularly was great to hear. As much as we try to avoid current events in certain situations, the fact remains those events are happening and they do affect our lives. Hearing the very reasonable take of 2 regular people reminded me that the entire world is not insane, despite what social media portrays.
  • CassKitch
    Here’s your 5 star review 🙃
    Seriously you guys are the absolute best. I enjoy and look forward to listening to every single episode. I feel like I know you guys. You are both funny, sincere, honest, relatable and you give us the most simple (no nonsense) advice. You guys provide laughter AND really good information. I really cannot express how much I love this podcast. I’ve been listening since it started and can’t believe it took me this long to write a 5 star review, it’s absolutely deserved.
  • Momofmanylittles
    My favorite podcast!!
    I love the back and forth banter about daily life and past experiences, like a marathon in basketball shorts. I look forward to each episode and the advice on consistency and simplicity. I would much rather take a walk instead of an ice bath lol.
  • 54DF11
    Awesome content!
    Love the back and forth between the two. Keep the bangers coming!!
  • Lauryn Torluemke
    Learn and laugh at the same time
    I actually laughed out loud in the car on my way to work this morning when you guys were talking about the Swiss miss pudding cups. I’m always looking for a new episode on my commute, this show is a trusted source for health and fitness info as well as relaxing to listen to as Jordan and Mike banter back and forth. I’m working on an online coaching cert right now and see myself joining the mentorship in the future. Again, a very trusted and reputable source, Jordan and Mike.
  • Coopio
    Trust Factor
    These guys have built up trust with me over time. They’ve been there and done that and share their experiences in an entertaining way. I looked forward to their drop every week.
  • Sacdkc
    Entertaining and informative
    I’m a disciple of Jordan through his membership the Inner Circle and have read their book Eat It which is great. Discovered Jordan and Mike had a podcast from a fellow Inner Circle member. I’ve been thoroughly enjoying their conversations. They make me LOL frequently. They’re also both very knowledgeable and very kind and nuanced with their advice. This isn’t just a podcast from wannabe personal trainers. If you’re interested in health and fitness, you would enjoy it immensely and learn at the same time.
  • jp9425
    Love this podcast
    Best podcast out there! I love the authenticity, the banter is top tier. This podcast has been the reason I go to the gym many days, knowing I can listen uninterrupted. I am no where near a personal trainer, but the information in this podcast is so comprehensible. Grateful for this podcast and for Jordan & Mike!
  • JoeHuskey
    Full of Value and Entertainment
    I’ve learned a wealth of knowledge from Jordan and Mike by listening to their podcast. How to get up and running with my online business along how to continue to provide clients a great service. I look forward to a new episode every week.
  • HiDYogi
    Invaluable High Quality Content!
    Not only are Mike and Jordan entertaining and easy to listen to, but they provide amazingly high quality information for FREE!- Experienced and research based grounded in ethics and a desire to truly help others. I'm using this as a bonus course to create my coaching business. I hope to be in a position to join their membership soon.
  • Chrischrisfitness
    Just 🔥🔥
    Found the podcast in February after virtually watching Jordan’s talk at RTB and was on a mission to listen to every episode at that point. Love the information that both Mike and Jordan provide. As an in person trainer for 10 years and just starting to dabble with the online training world, I am grateful to have come across them when I did when I was starting to look into guidance for my online business. The podcast is the reason I pulled the trigger and joined the mentorship. Great stuff and keep it coming. Haha as I write this I am listening to the 4/18 episode and hear Jordan with the shout out from me saying what’s up at the MBSC seminar. ✊🏽
  • PepperPeridot
    Not a coach, learning a lot!
    I love listening to you guys banter but also educate! I’m not a coach (maybe someday) but I learn a lot from you guys understanding how you coach people and what it is to be a good/desired client as well. Funny banter and sarcasm is the icing on the cake. 😃
  • @jer.sch
    Great Advice
    Jordan recommends everyone do BJJ. I’m in, and have some high school wrestling experience. Do you prefer gi or no gi and why? Thank you both!
  • Lacyrd
    Life changing
    This podcast simply yet significantly adds to my life. I laugh, I learn, I read, I grow because of these guys. Y’all are killin it.
  • herphoenixloves
    Love this show!
    Thank you for being real and posting about stuff that may not seem relevant but is! I’m getting my certs now, and you guys have taught me so much about how I want to run my business and the kind of personal trainer I want to be. You both are real inspirations. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us freely!
  • rachelfurlough
    Down to earth and real.
    This podcast is amazing. I started listening as I was finishing my cert, and it has given me a wonderful framework and mindset as I begin both my in person training and online. No “magic quick success”, they promote real timelines, real work, and no gimmicks. I don’t agree with everything they say, but honestly if you always agree with 100% of what someone says you’re likely not thinking critically enough. Mike and Jordan consistently give me excitement and motivation about being a coach, and I will be a lifelong listener. Thank you guys for all your hard work and free content. You practice what you preach.
  • Loyola L
    Fav podcast 🫶
    I found Mike and Jordan’s content through one of GaryVee’s videos a couple years back and been following them ever since. I listen to this podcast whenever I want some knowledge or just be entertained by these two guys. Love this keep up the awesome work guys! ❤️

    Inspiring personal trainers to get reps in the gym and reps on the internet
    Love this podcast! Just starting my personal training career as a mom of 3 and these guys are inspirational and hilarious! Look no further for blunt honesty and amazing advice !
  • RenStarBoys
    Best Podcast I Ever Listened To
    Mike and Jordan are great and I love listening to their conversations and laughing with them. Thank you guys so much and I look forward to video podcasts soon! @jakeaz.fitness
  • @danielirmas
    Not just for trainers
    This show goes beyond just advice for trainers but is a must listen for fitness enthusiasts everywhere. Mike and Jordan share their encyclopedic knowledge of fitness/business strategy and bust so many of the silly fitness myths that are out there in a super engaging and hilarious way. These guys are the real deal, down to earth and relatable. In a five minute span they can cover everything from programming workout routines for clients around their injuries, Mike’s deep dive into gourmet chocolates, effective strategies for content creation and Jordan’s memories of his own birth. Rogan? Huberman? Are their podcasts great? Yes. But do they remember their own birth? Unlikely. If you are interested in growing your business, growing muscle, losing fat, finding balance, pursuing health, pursuing happiness and bettering yourself and those around you then look no further. @danielirmas

    A Masterclass on Training, Nutrition, and Overall Fitness/Wellness
    I stumbled upon this awesome podcast as a college kid/trainer looking to find his way and learn more about the fitness industry. I got a TON of value back then (granted I just graduated college last year) and I continue to get value from every episode that I listen to. I started just as a podcast listener, and now I’m in the mentorship and continue to get a ton value from both. If you’re goal is to grow a personal training business (in person or online), or just learn more about improving your health and fitness, this podcast is for you! Thanks Jordan and Mike! @KevinFinnFitness
  • theeramey
    Stupid exercises episode !!
    This was easily one of my favorite episodes because I constantly get asked about hip thrust vs rdl and what exercises are necessary and this episode just hit home for me! Thank you for this ! @dla_ptnutrition
  • Skylar Lynn
    Love Mike & Jordan
    I love Mike & Jordan and will always listen/watch any content they produce! I look forward to a new episode each week and continue to learn a lot from these two! P.S. I don’t get annoyed that video isn’t available yet 🤣 @skylar.osborn 😜
  • DugEFresca
    Fantastic
    This is one of my favorite podcasts and I’m not a personal trainer just an average Dug. I listen every week! Mike and Jordan have great banter and are hilarious. As well as their brilliant knowledge, experience and the ability to make complicated topics simple and digestible for gen pop. Keep up the good work gentleman! I’ll keep listening. Sincerely, @theaveragedug

    Amazing Mentors, Even Better Podcasters
    I’ve listened to this podcast for about 6 months now & immediately jumped into their mentorship (btw if you’re a Coach, you’ve gotta take the leap, you will NOT be disappointed) & let me tell you… These two are the REAL DEAL! From the friendly banter to the practical, informative advice, I look forward to every week’s episode. And maybe video pods will be coming soon??! But who knows… Love you both!!! -Casey (@CaseyNicole_RD)
  • Conscious_Marketing_&_PR

    Great Information
    This podcast is a goldmine of information. Jordan and Mike balance each other perfectly and provide realistic and motivating steps for anyone considering a future in fitness coaching.
  • sweatsimple
    Better than movie theater popcorn
    This podcast and mentorship has completely changed my business. Mike & Jordan give broken down actionable tips to grow your business and build an authentic community. Not “guru” tips that require thousands of dollars, simple genuine things to help real people. Listening on Tuesdays is better than those first few bites of movie theater popcorn!
