“But boring content. Why would he not interview Spartan athletes? It’s all random people that have nothing to do with racing. Athletic brewing, guys helping kids in the Bronx, sure stand alone this is fine content... but I want to hear about training, nutrition, and tips to become an elite Spartan...”Read full review »

“The guests on the show are amazing. Inspiring stories. Great motivation. Everyone can learn something in every podcast. Some of the hosts are unnecessary and/or egotistical. If the podcast was just the interviews and a quick intro and/or summary, it would be better. The colonel is awesome.”

“Spartan Up podcasts have good insight and terrific guest speakers. However I have two issues:
- Each podcast is barely 20 minutes on a topic with the guest speaker talking for only 10. I’d love for these to be twice as long with deeper interviews.
- The title of the podcast is Spartan Up,...”Read full review »
