Writing my first ever podcast review! Been a podcast connoisseur since 2015 and picked up this one in 2019. There are many great podcasts I toggle through but this is the only one where I simply cannot miss an episode, and have even gone back and listened to many episodes that are years old. I...Read full review »

Ben and Patrick, I love starting my day with listening to Chasing Excellence. It helps me get in a good mindset, calm me, and helps me focus on my intention for the day. I did a member video for our CrossFit gym on morning routines and shared Chasing Excellence as a highlight. I've listened...Read full review »

This podcast, it’s content and the shared wisdom of Ben & Patrick have been changing my life since I started listening in 2017, which is also when I found CrossFit.

I moved home from Boston to rural Vermont during 2020 and went out on my own as a personal trainer. Your podcast helped me keep a positive, healthy mindset through the hardest transition of my life. I achieved my original definition of what success would be in my small town in the first year. In...Read full review »

Ads in the middle are killing me guys. Talk about an immediate halt to momentum…ads in the beginning maybe?

You either live in a world of abundant possibilities or a world that is against you. That teaching changed my life - thanks Ben

Ben and Patrick, I have been listening to your podcast every week for four years. I listen to each episode as soon as it’s released. There really are no adequate words to express how grateful I am for the change that your Podcast has brought to my life. I’m currently reading the book, The Art Of...Read full review »

It’s crazy to think I started listening to this podcast 5 years ago. During this time so much has changed and it feels like my life also evolved, from a CrossFit junkie to now this more holistic approach to life, same as the topics on the podcast. Thanks to you guys I also made my mission to...Read full review »

Love you guys so I hate to say something critical. A lot of what you say is from The Untethered Soul by Michael Singer give him some credit and also everyone should read that book. Thanks
Tj Omaha via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/13/22
I started listening to this podcast looking for information about health and fitness, and it has easily delivered that but also so much more than I ever expected. The conversations that happen every week open new doors to improving mental resilience, relationships, work, building businesses and...Read full review »

I have been listening to this podcast for at least 4 years. I have gotten some of the best book recommendations from this podcast. I have gotten some of the best life advice from this podcast. I have gotten nutrition, sleep and training tips. It’s also a great Buisness primer for affiliate owners...Read full review »

This is a wonderful podcast for any listener to consider how they can improve in any foundational aspect of life. It’s on my schedule to listen to every week. And I love the new format! It’s refreshing, and it shows both of you are open to evolving and growth. Thank you, Ben and Patrick, for...Read full review »

Thank you guys for doing this. Listening this podcast is one of the most effective thing in self-improvement. Update 3 years later: Content is still great. I want to say thank you, again. One thing that is a little bit disappointing - I DMed Patrick two years ago with a question about supporting...Read full review »

I’ve been listening to this podcast for years. It has guided me through many tough situations including my recent sobriety. As a parent, masters athlete and first responder the content discussed is so beneficial. Thank you for encouraging us to be better and not settle for less. As Ben recently...Read full review »
Swassypopo via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/09/22
The new format revamps a tired format and better suits the host’s style of podcasts. A show I continuously return to, during a tough week of WODs or just life. I do wish there was a way to send in comments that was not linked to social media. Ben just mentioned that he has heavily curtailed...Read full review »
Dahurian via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 11/03/22
Ben is a machine! The way he explains his point of view of life, sports, nutrition will make you rethink how to execute all you actions in your daily life. 200% recommended!!
frefgitdh via Apple Podcasts · Germany · 10/16/22
I’ve been listening to these podcasts for the last two ish years. I’m not in the Crossfit community at all. But the mindset, habit forming and growth themes to the episodes have been some of the best tools I’ve come across to assist me during a career change (throw in COVID), and developing my...Read full review »

I look forward to every episode that comes out each week. Best podcast hands down for anyone interested in mindset, crossfit, nutrition, and so much more. I’ve been a big fan of Ben for years and this podcast never disappoints.
shamptonflwrs via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/16/22
I started listening because I was after Ben’s advice/insight into nutrition and health; I’ve continued listening because of the leadership and self-improvement lessons that I’ve gained through the years. I enjoy the relationship between Ben and Patrick and think they do a great job of being...Read full review »

This is only the second episode I have listened to from this podcast but I LOVE it. Today was my first Hopper Talk and I really truly enjoyed the Q&A type conversation! Definitely something I needed today and this week. 😎💚

This podcast is extremely white - and at times extremely ignorant and problematic. Their business and leadership content is fire. Commentary on other content could use some work.
theealikotree via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/14/22
This podcast is absolutely life changing. Ben’s view on not only fitness but mental health has made me a happier and healthier person. I’ve finding myself repeating the lessons I’ve learned to my classes as a coach, to my employees as a boss, and to my kids as a father. Thank you for putting out...Read full review »

I recently realized that I have been listening to Ben and Patrick since the very beginning, 2017 ! (Thank you iPhone for telling me this). And I’m never bored, I’m looking forward to a new episode every single week. Thank you for everything you did, keep on doing this show !
Viktoriia, PhD via Apple Podcasts · France · 01/06/22
The last episode with Cole Sager was exactly what I needed to hear today. Thanks for sharing, encouragement for me as I walk through tough times…
kate_-406 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/22/21
Guys, I was pretty disappointed with your last episode. How can you talk about the 2021 CrossFit games and not acknowledge Tia’s achievements. Not to even mention her at all. I thought CrossFit was about the community and camaraderie, and part of that is also celebrating amazing performances....Read full review »

Ben, host of the Chasing Excellence podcast, highlights all aspects of fitness, wellness and more in this can’t miss podcast! The host and expert guests offer insightful advice and information that is helpful to anyone that listens!
EricaBushwell via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/28/21
I have felt that this is a good podcast, however I feel that there of been a few shows where Ben has attempted to inform and educate about matters that are outside his scope of practice. I am a psychiatrist and I feel that it is important to work within my specialty and not work outside my scope...Read full review »

I’ve been listening to Chasing Excellence for a few years now, and slowly but surely the constant exposure to excellent teaching really has changed the way I think, day-to-day. I would love to see a “5-minute drill” lol; I always wish you would go more in depth on all the topics you hit on during...Read full review »

I have been listening to the podcast since I read Ben’s book in 2017! The content you guys bring up and the way Ben explain things is just phenomenal. I find myself quoting him several times during the day for my friends and family. I think everyone should be listening to this if they wanna grab...Read full review »

Absolutely love the topics. It reached me of course a lot about the sport, but also do much about mindset, routines and nutrition. Top three of all podcast I’ve ever followed!
Waba07 via Apple Podcasts · Germany · 05/17/21
Been listening to this podcast for a while now and was super bummed at the most recent talk w Peter Rahal from RX bar. His blatant and offensive analogy about “homosexuals” was welcomed and even acknowledged by Ben as a “good analogy.” General rule of thumb- If you have to start a statement by...Read full review »

This is an amazing podcast! It contains tons of insight on proper health, fitness, nutrition, and life. The podcast comes to topics from a CrossFit angle but it applies to many different areas of life. Ben Bergeron is a wealth of knowledge and speaks like someone who walks the talk.

Great podcast, I listen EVERY week. Thank you Ben for changing my life through your book and podcast
TheWilsterB via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 12/27/20
No one else can do what these two do. I love how They start with a clear statement about what they’ll be discussing; there is little side talk and I love that; I learn more from these two than I do from any other podcast for real. There isn’t a time when I say “I was listening to this podcast,...Read full review »

Love the show. It always goes somewhere I’m not expecting yet I can always apply it to my fitness, my business, my family so, although I’m not a cross fitter, I get so much out of the wisdom in which you share so thank you!!
lodi man via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/15/20
I teach high school math and I have been working most of what you said into my classroom on a daily basis for the last decade! Love every second of this one!
T_Mar10 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/10/20
Love this podcast. I listen on another platform but wanted to show my support! Thanks for helping coaches coach better!
Orodrethculnamo via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/09/20
Early episodes were amazing fitness and lifestyle content. Unfortunately Ben’s interests seem to have shifted to wokeness and virtue signaling, so I had to unsubscribe.
fndichrb via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/19/20
When you start a sentence with “I’m not a nutritionist... BUT” Stay in your lane with programming. A great deal of your nutrition advice is fear mongering and disordered.
