  • Repetitive topics

    I’m sorry but I truly can’t listen to one more episode about how to not blow up in the off-season. It’s extremely important, yes, but seriously every episode is the same tangent so I had to unsubscribe

  • Favorite Podcast on Bikini

    I enjoy Adam’s data collection, practical application and insights, and easy to follow advice. Ashley has lived professional experience and for an amateur like myself, listening to the both of them in the morning gets me going and feeds my hunger to learn more about the sport.

  • Best bikini fitness podcast ever

    I’ve recently decided in my 42 years of age, to compete in my first bikini competition ever… naturally, I am waaaaayyyy behind all the other girls. And I have so much to learn! This podcast has given me so much relatable information, and real insight that I can truly absorb. I’m not just listening to this podcast, it is giving me so much inspiration and motivation.

  • Best BB podcast I’ve come across

    A blessing to have come across this podcast! Love the insight Ashley offers as a competitor plus the technicalities from Adam and guests! Safe to say it’s helped me understand the world of bodybuilding so much more plus it’s a fun listen. Highly recommend!

  • Inspiring, Educational, and a Reality Check

    Perfect blend of humor, education, and hard truths. I listen to the podcast weekly during cardio or housework. Adam and Ashley bounce off one another; each one has a unique outtake on life that complements the other. I love how they don’t try and adhere to the standard podcast- sometimes other podcasts can feel redundant, but there’s is always lively. I’ve found myself laughing during my hot girl treadmill walks.

    Highly recommend!
