Chasing excellence podcast by Ben Bergeron. Bergeron trains some of the fittest athletes in the world.
Girls gone WOD (Now called “This is Joy & Claire”. A good female led podcast to go back and listen in on.)
Mind muscle project (Not just about fitness, you’ll find mental and physical related topics on this podcast.)
Icon athlete (A lot of the CrossFit podcasts tend to be labeled explicit, but here is one that is kid friendly. Keep in mind they aren’t 100% about CrossFit.)
One more rep (This podcast is no longer recorded regularly but with over 100+ prior episodes to choose from, it’s still worth the listen.)
WTF gym talk (A little bit more about the business behind a gym, you may still find the content relatable.)
