Listener Reviews

What a refreshing and clarifying motivation. Quit doing the planning and just do the freaking small things every single day track done list not to do.

You said you wanted to create a positive corner- you have. I appreciate what you are doing and look forward to tagging along. Highly motivating. As a person who started out homeless- I especially enjoyed your depiction of social media as highlight reels. The work and the struggle is where the growing and learning happen. That is where character is forged. Keep going 🙏👏 and thank you.

I enjoy your podcasts. I work out 6 days a week with morning cardio and a mixture of calisthenics and weight training in the gym. Proper eating and resting helped me a lot

Until you listen to Arnold’s and the community’s stories you just won’t realize how inspiring and motivated this podcasts makes you. I’m down 140 lbs and counting. Lifting 5 days a week. I have completely transformed myself. Arnie keeps me going. I’ve cleared all episodes out and read the daily newsletter. I just wish the podcast would come out with more episodes.

When I listen to Arnold, I feel like I am reconnecting with a earlier version of me. When I did weight training 6 days a week. Now I am 70 and I train smarter and I listen to Arnold podcasts as I pump out 2 mile walks before I later use my kettlebells or go to the gym 3 days a week.

I wish I can explain to you how fired up Arnold makes me I mean I grew up watching all his movies i literally read his autobiography a hundred times I just put it on every morning while I lift now I find his podcast seriously? Man I m going to shake the gym like a snow globe tomorrow listening to the pump club!

Grateful for Arnold Schwarzenegger. Only suggestions are: Please boost Arnold's microphone volume. This is the only podcast that's harder to hear. Remove updated daily. We benefit from periodic installments. I understand the need for ads but that's the only reason for four stars.

Really motivating, especially as a young gym person. Six stars if possible ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

What an amazing podcast! I listen when I can to keep my mind where it needs to be to achieve my goals in health and in life! Highly recommended!

This is my favorite podcast! I’m a personal trainer, & I listen to at least 1 episode every morning. I feel like he is coaching me to be better at training & just being a better human being! Thank you Arnold-you prove that life is limitless w/possibilities!

I recently discovered the podcast and the daily newsletter and I have to say both are fantastic and so well done!! I work in comms and I appreciate the whole package - the branding, the format, and how concise both products are while still providing new and valuable information. I love the positivity and I’m a lifelong huge Arnold fan, and this podcast is an example of why - everything he touches is impactful and memorable.

As a lifelong fitness fanatic, the daily emails and webcasts are excellent reinforcement for the best ways to prolong quality of life. Great tips I use personally and can pass on to the athletes and athletic trainers I work with daily.

Surprisingly great, practical and simple recommendations to improve your physical and mental health. I love how research is referenced. I’m a fan!! And they’re fairly short.

A male friend told me about Arnold’s Pump Club. Now, I’m listening to Arnold, too!

Always enlightening.

Amazing podcast! Arnold imparts some fantastic wisdom.

Arnold is the best and show gives me goosebumps at times with how much passion Arnold provides. Favorite podcast and I’m waiting for the next one!

Thank you for making this Podcast. It was helpful. Thank you

I’m not a body builder. I’m not in particularly good shape, but I’m not in bad shape. I have MS and work in critical care. I keep healthy by diet (food is medicine; or food is poison, you pick) and exercise. I used to swim daily (trying to get back into it) and I have a modest gym at home. When I’m on call, I try to spend that waiting time doing exercise to strengthen my knees and back. My late best friend was an Arnold super fan. For decades he talked about the respect he had for him, and how Arnold never took no for an answer. How in the face of doubts from others, Arnold not only succeeded, but excelled. Fast forward to when I’m now a middle aged lady, tired and broken by working the pandemic, and politics, and world news—and becoming a widow…I came upon the Pump Club and it has motivated me in ways I can’t describe. I commute and stream all the episodes (I’m catching up) and I find myself smiling for the first time in many months, years, as I listen to Arnold talk. I nod when he talks about nutrition, and supplements, and the science backed research—his comments are well-researched and intelligent. I’m tired of hearing about these fads, that everyone jumps on in hopes off “hacking” their health and fitness. Arnold very wisely lays it out in 12 minute segments—there are no hacks. Sleep well, eat well, exercise when you can. That’s it-that’s what works. And he’s right. But the real value in this podcast is the positive message that comes through. It’s as if you are sitting and having a lively chat with a trusted, knowledgeable friend. A kind and positive friend, with whom you sit and chat and hours go by feeling like minutes. You always leave feeling better and more hopeful. I know my world went dark after COVID—the way people started arguing and fighting, the science deniers and how politicized it became. Then the last flicker of light went out when my husband died suddenly at 58. I’ve been sleepwalking since. I tried picking my life up by the remaining little pieces, but after listening to a few of these podcasts, I find that I’m finally in a place where I can do my small part in the world, I can do what I can to make the world a little more kind, never-mind everything else and everyone else—bullies don’t win. In the long run, live and positivity is more powerful than hate and divisiveness. I’m motivated to start working in my health a little more and making what small changes I can , day to day, to make lasting benefits. It’s possibly the best 12 minutes of the day, listening to these podcasts, as far as the return you get from 12 minutes invested. And small changes are the lasting changes—the man who carries away small stones consistently and repeatedly, eventually moves a mountain.

Hello: I started with with Arnold’s Autobiography Be Useful extremely helpful. That led me to try Arnold’s Pump Club email 📧 newsletter. With busy life it was easier to listen to his PODCAST series. Arnold’s advice ranges from making small changes at time to face those fears. We focus on movement , better sleep and utilization of our time. Give POD cast a try it can’t hurt and Arnold’s advice works it worked for myself. Arnold has always had the motivation to success from weightlifting, acting 🎭 and government service. Enough said just do it and hit the subscribe button. Anthony

This transforms my life and will continue to do so

Wow, after Arnold’s hiatus, he sounds younger! And…even more like a machine than before 😂 This podcast is now a robot. Bring back the old voice.

At age 56 I’ve had to make some drastic changes to diet and exercise routine to get my A1c under control. My wife has been sharing information from your news letter to help me along and now I’m into the podcast. I found the information navigating protein bars super useful and will be trying the David brand. Thanks!
