  • Not that good

    Host spends like 15 seconds just straight talking about their credentials every episode, also the episodes and comments within them sound Very scripted.

    I am likely biased though, as I do not have a high interest in this area, so I tend to find it a tad dull.

    Although, you should listen for yourself and see if you enjoy it. Perhaps, and may I add, hopefully, my opinion is incorrect.

  • Change

    Definitely an approach to working out smarter and not harder with better results in less time. Try this for 90 days to give it a true test and it will debunk your old ways of thinking about fitness. Love everything about the exercise coach. Keep up the great work.

  • Just an infomercial

    Tried to listen to a few episodes but all are just infomercials for their franchise.

  • JOKE!!

    This guy is an absolute joke! This is a money grab that preys on unsuspecting middle age and elderly people. This is NOT a useful fitness program for anyone. Pricing is a joke, promises and results are completely empty and completely ridiculous!!

  • I love The Exercise Coach but go deeper!

    I am a current client and was hoping to get more behind-the-scenes info on the different protocols, a discussion of how to set effective strength goals, and more of the theory of how the workouts work. I’m already sold on the basic idea that this podcast keeps hammering away at. I would like a deeper dive instead of a sales pitch. Maybe offer another podcast for clients only?
