Ben Greenfield Fitness
This is the ultimate personal trainer podcast. As a top PT and wellness coach, Ben Greenfield has built an online empire by delivering high-quality, unique content. His podcast covers everything from triathlon training to vegetarian diets for athletes. The guests are high-quality and the range of topics makes it a consistently interesting listen.
Eat, Move and Live Better
Hosted by online coaching company, Precision Nutrition, this podcast is the voice of reason in an otherwise fad-driven industry. It’s realistic and science-based approach to fitness and nutrition is a welcome breath of fresh air, which never fails to stimulate some new ideas for clients. Unfortunately, it’s not published on a consistent basis but it’s well worth subscribing to anyhow. That way you won’t miss a thing when they do update it with their next gem of nutritional wisdom.
Food For Fitness
For a more consistent dose of nutritional knowledge, Food For Fitness is a top pick. Scott Baptie hosts the podcast and supplements his own extensive experience with a range of guests, from doctors to sports scientists. Subjects vary from the truth about cholesterol to the benefits of single leg training.
Ben Coomber Radio
This is the UK’s #1 rated podcast and usually amongst the top 10 globally. Ben Coomber interviews the world’s best guests in health, fitness, and personal development, discussing everything from nutrition and mindset, to exercise and human performance.

Podrunner’s fixed-tempo and interval exercise mixes are perfect for running, spinning, aerobics, and other tempo-based forms of exercise.

If you’re looking for a podcast that’ll guide you on sales, marketing, or day-to-day operations, then we recommend these…
Escape Your Limits
This podcast is a fantastic way to learn from industry legends and get inspired by their stories. It’s hosted by Mathew Januszek, founder of the functional equipment manufacturer, Escape Fitness.
He interviews some of the most successful people in fitness to learn why they’ve been so successful and how you can replicate it. The content of this podcast is priceless and a much more cost-efficient alternative to hearing these legends speak at seminars or conferences.
Turning Pro Academy
Chris Dufey, the host of the Turning Pro Academy Podcast, is the real deal. He’s genuinely an expert in online personal training, who’s actually done it himself. Unlike many other personal trainer podcast hosts, he truly speaks from experience. He’s living the dream in Bali whilst running several successful businesses online.

The Fitness Business Podcast
The Fitness Business Podcast is aimed at club operators, personal trainers, and basically anyone involved in fitness. They land some big names as guests, from both outside of the fitness industry as well as within it. Topics vary from the operational side of running a health club, to self-care aspects of being a solopreneur.
At the end of each episode, the host (Chantal Brodrick) summarises three key takeaways, which ensures they’re super-actionable and you have clear next steps. Listen to this if you want to keep your finger on the pulse of the fitness industry, and absorb a breadth of information.
The Fitness Biz Experience
The Fitness Business Experience podcast ‘was’ super-casual. We say that because they aren’t publishing new content at the time of writing. But it’s worth diving into their archives as this podcast is a little different to most others. In fact, it tends to feel more like a chat between mates than a formal interview.

Although predominantly aimed at would-be gym owners, PTs can still get a lot of value from the conversations (especially if you’d like to run your own studio someday). The discussions aren’t as structured as the others we’ve mentioned, but the informal tone and more relaxed style actually make a refreshing change from your typical business podcast. Listen to this if you’re interested in becoming a PT manager, or running your own bricks and mortar business.
