Power Athlete Reviews 258

I've been using Power Athlete's Grindstone program on Train Heroic for 3+ years. Navigating the platform is a breeze. The thought and attention to detail in all of Power Athlete's programming (in addition to Grindstone, I've trained on Bedrock, Lean & Able, Third Monkey, and Johnny Bod) is unsurpassed. As a physical therapist by trade, my day job is putting people back together after suffering the effects of local and internet-based fitness gurus. Power Athlete's Methodology serves as the template for restoring my client's ability to train while unlocking a level of performance and athleticism most of them have never reached. If you've had enough of "fitnessing" and are still searching for real results, look no further than Power Athlete's programming.

I have been using the power athlete programs for several years now. First with Johnnie WOD and then with HAMR. Both programs are excellent and have vastly improved my fitness level in every way.

I was in a serious car accident recently. My car was completely destroyed in a head on collision with a pick up truck. I got a broken collarbone along with some other minor injuries.
I want to express my gratitude to all the coach’s and staff because I believe it could have been much worse if not for the training you have provided for me over the years.
This may not be why most people train but it is one of the benefits. When things go wrong it is good to have the physical ability to both survive and get out.

So thank you very much. I will be forever grateful and will definitely continue to recommend your programs to everyone I can.

I’m looking forward to eventually getting back to moving the dirt.

I got hooked on CFF 12 years ago and have been using that template (kinda) for over 12 years. Was in a rut, got back to official programming with the field strong metabolic conditioning 11/21 and now on grindstone program.
At 47 yrs old, I’m strong, fast, lean and athletic thanks to Power athlete. Thanks for all the excellent insight and the best programming in da world!

Big fan! Long time follower and first time rater.
John & the crew @ Power Athlete deliver world class training programs, nutrition protocols, education, coaching and they represent everything that is great and amazing on this massive flat earth.
Thanks for your contribution to society and the world. #movethedirt #bethehamner #Welbourné

i started using HAMR, and right now I’m on Jacked Street. Great guidance. Eliminates the need for my notebook with the trainheroic app. Uploading the “masters of movement” videos in the app are great too.

The workouts have been fantastic. They are well written with comprehensive guidance on form and execution.

I’ve been PAHQ since CFFB (2009). I can honestly say that PAHQ possesses one of the most comprehensive yet simplistic training systems in the world. The way they integrate various principally based methodologies together is something to behold. PAHQ has the capacity to cater to literally any goal you may have no matter you’re starting point. Due to my experience as an athlete within their system, I am capable of things that were once impossible to me. As a PAHQ B1 coach, their educational system is top notch and I am a better coach because of it. I am grateful to have listened to JohnW & Raph back in 2009 when they told me to stick with it.

I love the Grindstone programming. The recommendation by Tex and Sam was perfect and the variation in the program has been great. I haven't gotten injured this year and I attribute that to the variety of ways we hit muscle groups. The community is great too. Coaches in the comments making suggestions and offering help. Fantastic value, fantastic programming. Thank you.

I have had nothing but great experiences with Power Athlete, their knowledge and coaching is among the best in the business. If you like learning and growing as an athlete you owe it to yourself to give them a try.

I only did your workouts a few times. I purchased the program after asking some questions about Grindstone VS Lean and Able. I got the podcast response of “Bang Weights and get Jacked” vs “Improve Fitness” like I was buying from a made for TV commercial this of course wasn’t very helpful so I picked L&A because I wanted the free personal consult and nutritional protocol but that never came. I used L&A as my backup program or my active recovery program for the year and called it good.

Best fitness / workout program I have followed. I use it 5 times a week and have been following the program for almost 3 years now. I have seen gains across all my lifts and feel very solid.

Been with Power Athlete for a number of years and there is a reason for that. The programming is top tier, the community is good people, and the coaching is elite. Helps prep me for my work and life. Nothing but praise for the staff and people of Power Athlete.

These folks have been part of my life going on a 12 years. I couldn’t feel more confident they provide the most switched on resources for training, nutrition, and life. Furthermore, as I grow as a father, I know I have a access to continue to develop my understanding beyond keeping myself lethal, and can provide my kids with a baseline of strength and athletic development I would have killed for.

Best training program ever. I am the strongest and in best shape of my life at 47 years old. Everything in the programming...movements, weights, rep scheme, frequency, etc just makes sense and you can see the gains. I have tried them all from the beginning...Field Strong, Grindstone, Johnnie WOD, Jacked Street with some Johnnie BOD thrown in from time to time. If you want results...this is it!!!

Excellent training. I've trained fro 30+ years and this is the best programming I have ever had.

Best training in the world. I was turned on to Power Athlete by one of my high school coaches and earned a scholarship with it. Now that I am done with college and working in corporate America, I use Power Athlete to train for my latest pursuit, Jiu Jitsu. Power Athlete Radio has been a constant over the years and has always provided excellent information. I can't thank the crew enough for their impact.

Been a long time follower. Had dalliances in other programs and systems and methodologies. I'm loyal for 10+ years for a reason. The basics are all there for you to take what you want. The best part, I think, is that in each workout there's opportunity for you to make sure you're bought in. There's always some sort of gut-check-able moment. You have to be VERY honest with yourself about what you're capable of doing vs what you want. Once you find the path that works best for you (Bedrock, Field Strong, Grindstone, Jacked Street, etc) you WILL like what happens. PAHQ4L

Great programming in Grindstone. The format of two mandatory days is perfect for me with a full time cattle ranch and martial arts training. John Welbourn and crew keep it interesting and I’m already seeing strength gains. Also like the Train Heroic app, which is a no-brainer tool for tracking progress and milestones.

Amazing programming. If I had to make one request, it is that I would like to see even more of the why/rationale/purpose behind the programming. That stuff is very interesting.

I have been a long time follower of PA Radio and always enjoyed John & Tex’s views on S&C.

I’m a 32 year old electrician/business owner and father of 2 girls and have trained in my garage solo for the past 6 years.
After doing CrossFit for 10 years and following CF Football back in the day, I decided my body would appreciate the change of pace and constant beat downs from daily metcons considering my field of work - I jumped on Jacked Street and haven’t looked back.

I noticed the benefits within 4 weeks.
Less aches and pains, no crappy joint issues and the hypertrophy work did wonders for a small supraspinatus tear.

I can’t recommend this program enough.
The programming is well thought out, intentional and provides a gnarly f**ken stimulus if you hit it right.

Best decision I made and I wish I had done it earlier.

You blokes are rockstars.

PS I had more F bombs in here but there was too many highlights flagging my profanity
