    Man-datory listening!
    I’m a lifeguard and I spend a lot of time listening to this podcast. They’ve changed the way I train and think about nutrition but more importantly they’ve also helped me to be a better father and husband. There isn’t a better podcast out there in terms of value and improving yourself. Thanks guys 🤙

    Best Fitness Podcast Out There
    By far the best fitness podcast that’s out there. The Mind Pump guys describe things in a such an intuitive and relatable way. You’re gonna start asking yourself why you didn’t listen to them sooner. Very fun to listen to.

    2582: menopause
    Hey there! First, I relay enjoy listening you to guys. I started listening then got my husband listening. He jokes and calls you my “mind pump boyfriends.” I lift heavy, mountain bike and climb. So love it. Second, I have always respected your views even when I don’t agree. And also have appreciated some blind spots on what happening women in my age range. The episode on menopause you had recently really increased my already existing respect for you. Thank you for having on this expert and thank you for being curious and learning more about your admitted highest consumer group. Women over 40. We aren’t sitting down anymore. We’re just getting started!

    Thank you for being a shining light into my dark journey!⭐️
    I am a young teen that has struggled with fitness and body issues for a long time. But because of God and your show, all the information and encouragement you have given me has led me to successful recovery!

    Superior knowledge in fitness!
    Honestly the best fitness knowledge out there. Love that the guys are science based BUT bring in personal experience which sometimes wins over the science. Their ability to communicate their knowledge is really valuable. As a female listener I really enjoy their stories on family and life. Great job guys and keep it up.

    Best fitness podcast
    I listen to Mind Pump almost every day on my walks or while I’m working. The guys put out great content on fitness and current events. I love to see how their options evolve with new studies and they are not stuck in one mind set. Listen for fitness and personal growth.

    Still the best fitness podcast, BUT…
    Updating my previous review, and lowering it from five stars to four. I still love this podcast and it is one of the best fitness resources out there, but at this point, they are pitching sponsors and mindpump products constantly. Sal in particular. He’s almost as bad as Gary Brecka. Also, I’m glad he found religion, but stop pushing it every episode. It may sound like I’m picking on Sal. I really like him. But please dial it back! Stick to fitness and stop trying to deliver life lessons. You have 40 something years of life experience… you are still far from knowing the world. —- This is easily one of my favorite podcasts. It’s entertaining and a wealth of information. All four guys are great, but I really wish Sal would dial back the religion stuff and stop over-using the phrase ‘THE DATA IS CLEAR’. It seems like they’re doing really well these days and making good money, but that doesn’t mean they need to keep trying to sell more. They’re getting way too salesy.

    2nd Review
    Just wanted to write that after all these years-I’m still listening!!! ❤️ I love the down to earth fitness advice and conversations between the guys. I’m currently following MAPS Split and I love it! I’m a reformed CrossFit addict, and thanks to Mind Pump’s advice, my body feels so much better, I’m stronger, and my energy is better. I’ve always thought workouts should trash you-and I kinda liked that feeling-but I finally let the guy’s advice soak through my hard head and I feel so much better! Give it a listen-it’ll be you favorite fitness podcast!

    I love this podcast! It’s like listening to my 3 favorite uncles giving me not only life advice but health & fitness advice as well!. 🫶🏻 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    Gym podcast that gets me in the gym mindset
    I love this podcast. The dieting information is great and aligns with my families beliefs, but as a teenager the best parts are how to build muscle the most effective ways. Being in sports and weightlifting is hard but this podcast has helped me to manage both.
  • jessica20901011
    A great listen
    Very educational and knowledgeable about what they have to offer! Thanks for all you do guys!

    Game Changer
    My husband introduced this show to me a few years ago and it has become a nearly daily part of our lives! We love discussing the many super interesting topics the guys cover at the beginning of each episode and our eating and exercise habits have slowly changed for the better over time as well. Super grateful for all these guys have done, great job Mind Pump!

    Good for the mind, body and soul.
    I’ve been listening to Mind Pump for over a decade as I’ve worked through my fitness journey. I saw a picture of myself at 285 and realized I was not the person I had lead myself to believe I was. While listening to Mind Pump I shed 85lbs and am now healthier and happier than I have ever been. The gentlemen at Mind Pump have provided advice and have helped me improve my mind, body and soul. The guys are uplifting, motivational and encouraging. I’ve been impacted to my core and it’s a blessing that these men are in their calling.

    Changed my life (my husband was right!)
    My husband had been listening to MP for a while and always talked about it and finally after months of listening to him talk about it I finally gave it ago. It has changed my life. Truly, I listen to one to two episodes almost every day. I love saving episodes so I can go back and listen to the ones that I really like when I need reminders or ones that I know that I want to listen to! I’d venture to say that everything they say is absolute gold!
  • ChaseGQ
    The GOAT POD
    You guys are the best! Have changed my life completely. Thank you for all of the advice.
  • FredW365
    The real deal
    Thought this was “just another” fitness podcast. Then after listening to a few interesting casts, there was one episode that described my weight loss experience (and eventual regain) to a T. Weight loss, fat loss and muscle loss and how it was all related to what I was doing with my diet and exercise. Two + years later and I’m still learning new stuff. Thank you for the content and instruction on the ‘right’ way to do things and maintain.

    Game changer
    I was doing everything wrong! These guys broke it down for me and gave me such a passion for working out now. And they are so funny! I love listening every morning! 5⭐️s
  • Angela Masters
    Best out there!
    I love listening to these guys! They explained everything down to the little details. There’s absolutely no sugar coating, which I need! I’m on a journey to finally drop the weight and with the help of listening to these guys, I’m down 13lbs in 2 months and getting stronger everyday!

    My #1 go to podcast! I have learned so much over the last couple of years from listening. Will always be a top recommendation for me!
  • evancgorz
    My number one podcast for 4 years running!
    I’ve been a listener since 2020 and have purchased 5 MAPS programs and without a doubt, listening to these guys changed my life. Love the fatherhood content and keep up the good work!
  • periwinkleclover
    The more I listen, the more I love!
    UPDATE April 2025 I discovered ALL of the episodes on their MindPump App and love it even more! Hilarious and demonstrates an even larger evolution of the show and all 4 guys ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I’ve been listening casually for a few months and coming from a biology background, I appreciate the science based information. The mostly unfiltered perspectives of the guys have really broadened my outlook on a lot of things, fitness and life alike, and I enjoy listening to all of it, whether I personally agree or disagree. I’ve recently started listening to old episodes and have fallen in love with the podcast even more because of that! I can compare and contrast the info as it organically changes with new studies/the guys’ belief shifts/maturity/etc. The only thing I’d really like to add/change is the old episode availability. Currently it is available from ~episode 500, and I would LOVE to have access from episode 1 🙏🏻 Overall, MindPump is my all time favorite podcast and I feel like I know the guys and their families personally at this point. Keep the episodes coming and I hope they continue for a long time to come ❤️

    Mind Pump at the gym!!
    So excited to have met a fellow “mindpump-y” at the gym today! Love having the solid ground you guys provide to have great health conversations!
  • znimrod
    The BEST health and fitness was podcast
    This is the absolute best podcast out there for all things fitness. I’ve been listening for about 7 months or so, and it’s revolutionized my outlook and mindset in how I approach my health and fitness. From Sal’s studies and research, to Adam’s no-nonsense, straightforward hard-hitters, to Justin’s down-to-earth sniper input jabs, the wealth of knowledge is pretty awesome. And I love how they’re able to interweave all this into their own personal and daily life stories. And the advice you can take from their live caller questions is amazing. I’m always looking forward to when a pod drops from them. Well done guys!

    Old School trying to Survive
    Started listening April 2024. Lots of terminology that I’m trying to learn. The hosts are good at explaining how the body work, but I have so much to learn and I’m in my early 60’s.
  • setauketrunner
    The best podcast ever!!!
    Such an entertaining podcast. Guys have a great sense of humor and are so authentic. I have learned so much about health and fitness from mind pump. The guys brighten my day, I listen to them while working out and it makes my workout so enjoyable.
  • Coach Balta
    Best information, hands down
    I’ve been listening since 2017. I was searching for the right information for years and I finally found this show. I have learned so much and use it with my clients now. This show inspired me to become a trainer and guided me in the right direction.

    Powering through Postpartum
    I found MP when I was a few months postpartum with my son at 36 years old. This knowledge has transformed my why behind diet and exercise! Your content is invaluable and listening is a highlight of my week!

    Entertaining and Educational
    Great show to provide a great blend of entertainment, fitness and life advice. Perfect to pass the time while you’re in the gym every day (even though these guys will teach you you don’t have to grind in the gym every day to see amazing results!)
  • COLOR SWITCH HATER
    Eye Opening
    I love this podcast and have learned so many things and continue to do so every episode! I am a newer listener and have probably missed out on a lot of info the listeners are assumed to already know would love if there was a segments or episodes released about the basics!
  • Ry Marshall
    My number one podcast
    You guys are the best. I’ve always been a fitness fanatic, but you guys really pulled me in with your well rounded discussions. Especially in the parenting space. You’ve helped me shift my mentality on what fitness is and how to maintain it while being a father without overdoing it. Thanks for everything you do, keep it up!
  • wweeewwww

    MP Biggest Fan?
    I’ve been listening since 2016 and may just be MPs biggest fan. (Sorry it’s taken me this long to write a review!) The content and programs these guys produce is top tier. If you’ve been considering getting one of their programs - JUST DO IT, you won’t be disappointed. Sal, Adam, Justin and Doug - don’t change a thing - you are the best part of drives and the reason behind me LOLing to myself!
  • Hope TX
