Hosted by coaches with decades of real-world experience in training and relationships, it blends sharp insights with banter and fun. This isn’t your average “bro fitness podcast”—it’s smarter, fresher, and built for listeners who want more. The podcast was launched in 2020 and has a library of hundreds of episodes. It expanded to include more hosts and guests in 2025 after achieving nearly 1,000,000 downloads.
