The Fitness Movement: Training | Programming | Competing

Fitness #228

The Fitness Movement is a show on all things training. We combine conversations with the ZOAR Fitness Coaching Staff with interviews with experts in the field. We’ll deep dive on topics such as Mastering Movements (Double Unders, Overhead Squats, Muscle-Ups), Programming (Organizing Program Design, Planning Training Cycles), Improving Strength (Weightlifting and Gymnastics) and Endurance (Triathlon, Bike, Row, Run, SkiErg, etc.) and anything else that can help coaches and athletes get an edge over their competition. Our hope that as a result of this podcast, you can better movement quality and ultimately improve your efficiency and capacity in all types of workouts and CrossFit WODs, regardless if your goal is completing the Open Rx, competing in the Games or packing on some functional muscle mass as a Hybrid / Hyrox athlete. Join us and let’s take our fitness and training knowledge to the next level.

Accessible and Useful Information!

I came across this podcast when I was searching for workout ideas for and info on the Assault Bike, and found that and much more. After trying out several Assault Bike workouts, I did the power vs endurance test that is outlined on an Assault Bike content page (which has tons of great info), and submitted my numbers via a Google Forms page. Ben got back to me shortly thereafter with my results and a link to sample workouts that I would likely respond well to, which was very helpful. I’ve listened to a number of episodes about e.g. rowing, testing maxes on lifts, and developing muscle-ups, all of which are informative. Definitely recommend this if you are into CrossFit-style training!

Stumbled upon this podcast when Kyle Ruth was a guest. As a podcast host, coach, and athlete myself, I’ve really been enjoying this podcast. The topics are relevant and full of knowledgeable and applicable information. Great stuff!!

Awesome content

I just stumbled across this podcast March 1st due to the post that Jeff Baltimore is coming on the Podcast. I’m very glad I found this. I’m already on episode 008. Great content and perfect amount of detail on each subject. I could actually go for some longer discussions if you have larger subjects to discuss. Can’t wait to continue these today but I notice a few I have already listened to multiple times just to make sure I catch everything. Well done Ben!

Informative and Easy to Understand

After listening to the first few episodes, I was hooked. The episode on group programming has been my favorite so far. He gets into these topics by providing insight and it’s helpful to hear his points. It makes it much easier to understand programming and figure out what we could be doing differently to help those who attend our gym. Looking forward to hearing more as I listen to these. Thanks Ben.

Detailed and super informative

I have listened to a lot of fitness podcasts but what I think makes the Fitness Movement stand out is the way examples are explained. It is very down to earth and easy to comprehend advice however detailed enough know there is good thought and research that went into said advice. I bought the Zoar fitness muscle up tutorial shortly after listening to this podcast knowing I would confidently get stronger and proficient in technique. Definitely worth listening to regularly

Well thought out

Ben does an excellent job of presenting his information in ways that anyone can understand regardless of experience level. I have really enjoyed learning more about various topics from such a high performing individual (890th in the open). Highly recommend giving it a listen!

Truly informative

I’ve enjoy listening to Ben’s rants, I’ve shared them with my fellow coaches at the box where I coach. Seems like every time I listen in, I learn a new nugget of information. Thank your for that.

Insightful, practical

Ben lays out excellent content on fitness and training. As a physical therapist and beginner CrossFit athlete, I appreciate gaining new insights and perspectives on sport performance. New paradigms are presented in easy-to-digest ways. It’s clear a lot of research, thought and sweat went into this. Five stars! Dr. Doug Miller would be proud.

Most Useful Fitness Podcast

I’m a big fan of the no-BS approach that Ben takes in The Fitness Project. Each minute is filled with knowledge bombs that are immediately applicable to coaches and athletes. Perfect for the busy person who wants to find ways to improve their fitness quickly.

Awesome content

You need to listen to this podcast as it has information for everyone. Ben breaks everything down so it easy to understand and very easy to directly apply to your training. There are concepts discussed that I had never even thought about. Great work.

Subject Matter Expert

The term Guru gets thrown around a lot but Ben truly knows the ins and outs of fitness and what it takes to improve that fitness in the most effective and efficient way. Additionally, the podcast itself is applicable to anyone who wants to broaden their knowledge of fitness. Ben breaks down the definitions and explains what they mean for people who have been in the sport for a while or those who are just getting started! Great podcast!
