“The most pleasant, fun, informative and all-round climbing podcast.
I listen to some episodes two or three times sometimes and each time I find a takeaway.
Just now I have finished listening to the episode with climber&mum Majka Burhardt and I am SO grateful for it! Her words and even her...”Read full review »

“I’ve been listening to The TrainingBeta Podcast since it’s beginning, and it’s easily the most listened to podcast for me.
Neely and her team do such a good job curating the best guests that showcase the highlights of climbing, from top-level climbers, nutritionists, strength and conditioning...”Read full review »

“I’ve been listening for a few years now but sadly woke ness has infected our climbing community. I get a sense sometimes that Neely may be at least trying to keep it neutral, but it’s slipping. The girl who was on here saying capitalism is an evil scandal was ridiculous to me. Definition of...”Read full review »

“This podcast has been fantastic for my motivation. The wealth of knowledge shared here is worth so much. Everything from training, injury recovery, defining quality sessions and so much more. Thank you so much Neely for putting this together and bringing so many great people on the podcast!”

“Neely brings guests that have potential to share valuable content and perspectives but her interviewing skills completely lack substance and quality. This is so painful to listen to. For example, when a guest speaks of their passions and accomplishments, the interviewer responds with “nice” or...”Read full review »

“Great interview with your MIL. I loved hearing from a woman who keeps on going! It’s about time that young women hear from an older one that we don’t have to give up and get old. We can keep pushing through the so called limits for many more decades!”

“Perhaps I am dating myself but this podcast is effectively The Chris Farley Show from 90s SNL. So….was that, uhh, cool?? Decent guests, who can sometimes manage to carry an episode despite the best efforts of the host to drain any and all energy or basic critical thinking from the “conversation”....”Read full review »

“Originally my girlfriend and I loved listening to this podcast on road trips when we were getting ready to head to a new crag. Now it’s so hard to listen because it’s too woke. When it comes to issues like gender equality, of course this is necessary and is a quality that is beneficial to society...”Read full review »

However, the production is...”Read full review »

“Neely asked good questions and let her guests talk. It’a actually refreshing. Equally important is the lack of sophomoric bantering and unnecessary sound bites. I strongly disagree with the negativity and criticism.”

“Over the last few months production quality has dropped off. From stereo channels that play only one voice in an ear to the latest which ends in the middle of a sentence. Still heaps of great info but has been either impossible to listen to with headphones or just kinda frustrating.”

“There are so many great guests on this podcast, but I inevitably find myself turning off each episode partway through because the host always seems unprepared and slightly uninterested. It often feels like the guests are caught off guard and that the host hasn’t done her research. Needs more energy.”

“Content and guests are good enough I guess, but Neely is so low energy and boring that my ears can’t tolerate it. Just have to be brutally honest. These aren’t very conversational, and they don’t flow. They’re rigid, cookie-cutter, one-way interviews. I feel like every episode I’ve listened to is...”Read full review »

“I’m a new climber and stumbled across this podcast. I listened to episodes and was hooked. I been binging all of them. Neely ask very detailed questions. In fact I find myself asking the guest a question in my head and then Neely ask that question. Thank you Neely for the hard work.”

And these aren't questions meant to educate her naive...”Read full review »
