Really enjoy your podcast! Loved episode 365 and your conversation with Jess Lane. It is so nice to listen to a light-hearted fitness podcast! What really resonated with me was what a fun interview it is, with so many laughs! Plus, tons of amazing takeaways in this episode! Thank you!

Eh
Why does Erin always sound like she’s a WWE announcer when she’s introducing guests?

Love it, no notes. Been listening for years, it’s silly but reminds me that exercise exists. Stanger and Erin delight 😃

I’ll give it three stars because whenever I need motivation I go back and listen to the old episodes with Eugene and Stanger where it was the traditional format of just asking people about their fitness journey. The pod really fell off when they switched hosts. Maybe not because of her, but just...Read full review »

This podcast inspired me to join a gym and get in shape after 10 years of inactivity! The main reason to listen is that Erin and Stanger are funny and have great chemistry. Also they know a lot about fitness and diet.

It’s so fun to learn new things with Erin and Stanger. They explain things so well and so easily.

In an age of Joe Rogan-style bro-science podcasts that take themselves way too seriously, The Dumbbells stand out by being approachable and funny. Health and fitness can be a daunting topic to approach, especially if you're like me, and struggle with it. But Stanger and Erin make fitness a...Read full review »

I credit Erin and Stanger for keeping me on track with my post-Covid-weight loss and fitness journey. They are motivating, but gentle; they don’t push any specific fad or fitness routine; they prioritize mental health and holistic health; and - bonus! - they are funny. I listen to this podcast...Read full review »

Alright. The Dumbbells have been nagging their listeners for reviews harder than NPR does for donations during a goddamn listener drive. Can we stop with this now? I love The Dumbbells! Sometimes trying to learn about fitness can be a drag. It can be dry. It can be guilt inducing. Ryan and Erin...Read full review »

You guys are hilarious and so informative! I’ve learned so much from listening over the past few years. One thing I’m wondering if you could shed a little light on us deadlifts. There seems to be a mixed consensus. Some say risk/reward ratio is too high and others say it’s a fundamental when it...Read full review »

They do an amazing job balancing humor and actual content. There are very down to Earth as well. UPDATE: Erin taking over for Eugene was a great move, even though it is sad Eugene left (happy he is doing well in his career.) The show is everything I said before but also goofier in all the best...Read full review »

Love The Dumbbells! Funny, motivational, and a good source for new exercise and nutrition ideas. More movie-talk and weird digressions, please! As a new parent, I also love hearing the hosts talk about the personal and family side of fitness.

It’s good
Goddle1216 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/17/22
Been listening for years. Great show and great tidbits to pick up on along the way. Also they do a lot of thorough reviews for products and services I would blow my money but maybe not use

Updated: the podcast remains really good. It is best for getting people inspired who are looking to figure out their exercise and health program. I have been training for a while and still find something useful most weeks. It’s entertaining EVERY week. These guys are wicked funny and have...Read full review »

I really enjoy listening to Erin & Stanger. They both give super inclusive and practical advice and are funny too! Would highly recommend
lucycrossers via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 03/27/22
Between the two hosts I feel like I’m the Stanger of my friend group
theindigi via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/21/22
This show has helped me come up with better, healthier fitness goals, while making me laugh at a bunch of nonsense. The recent change in direction with Erin McGown is great!
dijonmustache via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/17/21
Listened to the show a bit before, but now, with new co-host Erin McGown, I’m a loyal listener. She’s a great addition. The show is funny, informative and inspirational. Love it.

Love Eugene, but I’m also excited for this new era with Erin! Great podcast to listen to during a workout.

I always get a good laugh and tons of motivation from the dumbbells! A weekly staple!! Come be a bell baby. Do it.
Gastfields via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/20/21
I love the podcast. Also love the F-words and hearing about your kids, as well as the random “Stangerisms.” Thank you for the wonderful listens.
gould33 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/12/21
Great podcast with good insight and advice. Found the pod through listening to Gabrus. Now a major fan. Helping with my fitness journey
Noleblooded_12 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/03/21
Great pod
Hip-Hop Connoiseur via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/02/21
The f-word has gotten a bit much with Ryan. He flings it out every other word. Makes it hard to listen to. It use to be once in awhile but wow, lately it’s used like the word and. I mean, I know this review is annoying and I’m one listener and you can tell me to drop dead. Just thought I’d let...Read full review »

Can’t find any other podcast like this out there. A perfect combination of goofiness, motivation & great practical advice. Essential quarantine listening.
rsumj via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/20/21
Great podcast. Makes health and fitness accessible and relatable. Good variety of guests from lifelong fitness people to beginners. Helps me get motivated
JasonRE94 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/07/21
I worry there is a touch of disordered eating here. I’m not a professional in that field but I’ve seen many gym bros suffer silently through what they later admitted were eating disorders. I hope these guys are ok.

Got tired of all listening to how dochey the mind pump fitness guys are and started looking for a different fitness podcast. So happy I found this one! overall so much better, good info, and light hearted.
hikealldayluv via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/20/20
I started listening to this podcast around episode 10 or so, and at the time I wasn’t doing much fitness-wise other than running occasionally. These guys really helped me to understand the importance of strength training, nutrition, and overall mental and physical fitness. Since then I have over...Read full review »

The Dizzler via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/30/20
One of the few podcasts that I can listen to consistently over the course of the year, and have so for about three years now. Good variation in gas, topics, and they even read and answered one of my questions on air. I honestly wish we could hear more about Stanger’s football career though, I...Read full review »

Somehow I haven’t ever reviewed this! Very fun and engaging podcast. Both Eugene and Stanger are entertaining and knowledgeable, and they’re also very supportive to all their listeners’ needs and questions. I would love to hear Stanger specifically talk about how good of a color heather grape is...Read full review »

New listener here - Idk why it took me so long to check out this podcast (big fan of ActionBoyz), but it’s just what I needed in 2020! Stanger and Eugene have great chemistry as hosts, and are really good at keeping things light and funny while also being genuine and curious about the workout...Read full review »
