Great programming and the quick pace face melting nature of johnniewod is awesome. Has helped me lose 60lbs and now keep up with my kids

Very well programmed. I have seen improvement in my lifts and body as I have followed for the last couple of years. Well worth giving there programming a shot and you have different choices to choose from to match your experience and needs.

Love the podcast and workouts. Helped me reach goals of getting stronger. And always love the truck and movie talk on the podcast.

Love the programming from PA. The TrainHeroic platform is also really well designed and accessible. Only recommendation would be to include a link or reference for some of the movement to help explain on what to concentrate or why a specific combination was selected.

How can you complain about a perfectly grilled Kobe Tomahawk? You can't. From Original (bleep) - fit Football (2009) through Grindstone and now Jacked Street, I've been following your programing for years. There is no way that as a 42 year old I should be in better shape than I was as a 25 year old Marine, but I am - thanks to your programming. The TrainHeroic interface is awesome - love that I can look up history and progress from years before. Thanks for the new movement demos - those actually help a bit more than some of the older ones. Also, really appreciate those re-load weeks - somehow you all magically seem to know just when they will be needed. Thanks for all that you do - keep it up and keep it salty.

Power Athlete puts out absolutely top notch products. Their training programs are second to none in quality, variety, and customer support. When questions come up, the PA staff is quick to respond - usually same day responses! The Power Athlete Radio podcast is also a must listen. John and Tex crush it with entertaining banter, massive knowledge bombs, and killer guests.

Best Programming I have followed! awesome company.

Super strength & conditioning programs.
To the point, and without nonsense programming. Something for everyone, be it people new to strength training, busy professionals or top athletes. World class.

Great content on the podcast. Programming Is even better.

Power Athlete is the best strength and conditioning programming available. The crew's holistic approach integrates session-specific warm ups and movement preparation that improves performance on the primary compound lift, keeps the assistance work interesting and challenging, and never neglects to incorporate trunk work, aerobic work, and unilateral work.

Grindstone really hits the spot when time is limited. Great sessions that hit majority of the body of short bursts

These guys and gals rock. John and Tex might be some of the smartest dudes out there when it comes to physical training, programming, and understanding body movements for athletes. Been on their programming for close to 2 years, listening to pod casts for longer , and now enrolled in some of their courses. Their knowledge is impeccable, their taste in movies is even better. Give these guys a chance, they offer tons of great programs to fit all types of athletes and their pod cast gives life knowledge on top of awesome content. Get sum

The Tom Cruise of podcasts! Best of the best! I discovered them only a few months ago and wish it had been much sooner.

I’ve listened to over a 100+ podcasts both new and old so far, view them on the YouTubes when I can, my wife bought me a bunch of their merch for Christmas and I am shamrocks deep in their Grindstone program on Train Heroic.

A small contribution in comparison to the daily knowledge bombs I receive, but I hope it helps. I believe in supporting a good thing in hopes it will be around for years to come.

Thank you John, Tex, and the Nutrition Ninjas Samantha and Rob for everything you do. Keep melting faces and being the Hammer!

Endless information on everything about movement, pointless rants, expanding movie list, incredible knowledge bombs & podcast guest. Excellent programming for anyone, anywhere, anytime. In the service of others, providing movement patterns for performance in the sport of life.

Power Athlete is an excellent organization that only has the best interests of its customers in mind. They offer professional-level workouts at a competitive price, top-tier articles and content, and pretty cool swag to top it off. I'm always impressed with everything they do and have never had anything less than an excellent experience working with them. You will be better for doing Power Athlete programming, so stop wavering and sign up.

John, Tex, and the PA crew has been an unbelievable resource for me in my training. Aside from helping me achieve my training and fitness goals, I’ve learned more about training and S&C that I imagined I would along the way.

I've primarily followed Grindstone for the last few years and also followed Third Moneky for about a year after it was released. The programming is great. Exercise demos are great. One improvement that could be made is to provide a little explanation about the goals for each cycle (i.e. strength cycle vs power vs hypertrophy, etc.). Power Athlete did that fairly well when they rolled out Third Monkey. Even a little guidance on the goals for each exercise of groups of exercises programmed in a workout would be helpful. All in all, PA is putting out high quality products.

I LOVE PA and am so grateful for all your teaching/coaching/expertise that has helped me get much better at barbell lifting and being the steward of my physical prowess! My own history of multiple systemic injuries stands in the way of me going full-throttle on Grindstone. The pandemic has been another blow to my workout schedule (I'm in the second-tier risk category and have weekly contact with people in the highest risk category, so no going unmasked in public.) However, this has given me the opportunity to fully embrace Ingrid Marcum's seminar on "four common problems." EVEN DOWN WITH INJURIES AND COVID, PowerAthlete STILL manages to deliver and the upgrade in my condidtion and results are worth more than I pay every month!

Fantastic programming, well designed and thought out!
