As a home gym lifter I don’t get the benefit of having other powerlifters around for advice, commiseration, or inspiration. This podcast gives me lots of that with strong women lifters talking about issues, especially those that affect women specifically (find a male podcast talk about pelvic...Read full review »

I don’t listen to podcasts often but when I do, yours is always my go to. Love the variety of topics you cover and the rapport you have with your guests. I started training 3 years ago at 60 and I inadvertently have records because there were none. I look forward to beating my own so I can say I...Read full review »

I’m so happy I stumbled upon this podcast. Heidi is so filled with knowledge and entertaining. And sometimes I think that we share the same brain because she asks her guests the questions that I’m like “oh I hope she ask this” then she does! The solo episodes are so informative (who would have...Read full review »

There is so much negativity in the fitness space that it’s great to find quality content that is both uplifting and informative. As a transgender woman, it was hard to carve out the internal space for femininity in my powerlifting practice but hearing all of the experiences of great women really...Read full review »

I’ve switched from listening to music to listening to this podcast during my cardio workouts, it’s that great. I’m usually nodding along or laughing and learning so much.

I’m so glad I came across this podcast as a novice powerlifter. Heidi is so easy to listen to. I’ve learned so much and been inspired by the stories and missteps of Heidi and her guests. Love the “what as I thinking?” segment. Always excited to listen to each new podcast.

If you create a platform supposedly for engaging professionals in meaningful conversations, it helps if the hostess stops talking long enough to hear from those professionals...

This podcast is amazing! Very interesting, humor is phenomenal, and presents straight facts in the lifting community as women. So many times I’ve seen clients of mine so focused on “slimming and toning”, they are too scared of being too bulky. I have been compelled to urged all of my female...Read full review »

Fairly recent discovery for me.

Spectacular podcast! I’m quite finicky with podcasts; interesting content delivered in an intelligent and articulate manor is hard to find! The episode with Swede was especially intriguing to me... I stayed up after a 12 hour night shift to finish it and I’m immensely greedy with my sleep! ☺️
Strong female please via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/07/19
I am not a big podcast fan, it’s hard to keep my interest, however, after listening to the podcast with Swede Burns, I became a fan of this podcast and have listened to two more just today! All of them have kept my interest throughout and I will continue to follow this podcast.
