  • Outdated

    Barely got through the episode on intermittent fasting. The majority of the information given was outdated. A lot of great information and studies available that weren’t discussed, very generic. I was unfortunately disappointed with most of the episode.

  • Great info but frustrating to listen to

    I really wanted to love these podcasts, but the more I listened, the more frustrated I became. I like to binge listen to podcasts because I'm on the road on my own a lot, but the really annoying theme song starts to drive you up the wall. Ryan is a qualified PT and is very informative. The other guy Justin appears to be a guitar teacher, delivers misinformed information, whom refers to MMA a lot and introduces himself as "Chef Sonic" (not sure what it's got to do with fitness or where this comes... more

  • Disappointed

    I started listening to this podcast tonight, beginning with the episode "How Much Protein". I'm vegan, so I figured this was the perfect place to start because I want to take fitness advice from people who are above making fun of people who choose to eat a plant-based diet. I was impressed with the woman on the show and her knowledge of plant proteins and was really thinking, "Wow, good show. I could get into this.". Then the inevitable happened. This guy says something about gummy bears not bei... more

  • Awesome

    Love this podcast. Granted I'm new to the podcast world and am just beginning to explore, Ryan & Justin (and now Toni!) are my favorites so far. :) They incorporate humor, they are very down to earth and it's clear that they genuinely care about helping others (why else do a podcast?!) I've officially listened to every episode and love how entertaining and informative these two are. I think they really make a great team and really balance each other out in terms of what they agree and disagree o... more
