The popularity of the gym
podcast has risen sharply in recent years. Due to the convenience, portability,
and privacy of the medium, these audio shows have become an effective way to
stay motivated and focused during your workout routine. Whether you’re running
on the treadmill or lifting weights in the free weight section, a great gym
podcast can help you take your workout to the next level while also keeping you
entertained during boring exercises like planks or wall sits. In this article,
we list out our picks for the 8 best gym
podcasts of 2022!
Nerd Fitness:
Nerd Fitness is a great podcast for anyone who wants to get
in shape but doesn’t feel comfortable going to a traditional gym. The show, hosted by comedian and
former IT guy Steve Amp, also has no shortage of workout advice, motivation
tips and life lessons. Each episode is usually focused on one Newbie Tuesday
segment and four or five different workout routines Classic Content Fridays.
This combination makes it easy to digest in small doses. And if you don’t have
time for an hour-long podcast (which is rare), there are shorter 15-minute
workouts that take advantage of all 20 different programs that NIP has offered
over its decade-long history.
Gymnastic:
This podcast hosted by Brad Chosen fled, Alan Aragon, and
James Besieger covers a range of topics relevant to every fitness enthusiast—so
much so that one could argue it's aimed at lifters and bodybuilders in
particular. The show features interviews with specialists on an array of
health-related topics (e.g., movement screens, nutrition) as well as podcasts
with industry experts who've created their own success in various areas (e.g.,
Dan John). While you're likely to have heard their names before, Stronger by
Science regularly introduces listeners to relatively unknown exercise
scientists who are making waves in their respective fields. It's basically gym nerd paradise. Each podcast offers
useful insights that you can use to take your workouts and nutrition to another
level.

Stronger by Science:
This podcast has quickly become one of my favorites. The
production quality is excellent, it’s professionally edited, and there are
high-quality sound effects added at just the right times (I know, I know... It
sounds like a small thing, but many gym
podcasts have terrible audio quality—it’s important!). This podcast does a
great job interviewing professional trainers about what works for them in terms
of developing their clients. Overall, Stronger by Science is one of my favorite
gym podcasts to listen to because it has always been helpful and packed with
good information that makes me want to train harder. Definitely worth a listen!
Listening to Music While Exercising:
When going to a gym
to exercise, some people bring their i Pods with them and listen to music while
they’re on the treadmill or elliptical machine. This distracts you from how
much time you’ve spent exercising. Instead, try listening to an audio book or a
podcast about a topic that interests you. With all your attention focused on
your subject matter rather than on time spent exercising, you can focus on
making progress toward any health goals that you may have set for yourself. A
good way to find interesting podcasts is to go directly to iTunes and search gym podcast. Once there, click
subscribe next to any podcasts that interest you and have new episodes released
frequently. If you don’t want to pay for a subscription service, check out our
list of free podcasts.
Finding a Mentor at the Gym:
In some cases, there are coaches or people at your gym who are incredible motivators and
can help you set goals, make progress and live a healthy lifestyle. But, if you
want to get one-on-one guidance and push yourself farther than you ever thought
possible, finding a mentor is a smart way to go. Mentors don’t need to be
experts in every area; they just need good intentions. If your goal is losing
weight, looking better naked or living healthier overall—someone who wants
those things for you can help guide you on that journey with their support and
encouragement. You'll have someone who knows what it's like to be in your
shoes, so they'll understand exactly what you're going through and how to get
through it.

Best Apps to Use at the Gym:
While you’re working out, listening to music on your Smartphone can provide a boost to your mood and motivation. Music has been shown to improve athletic performance too, but not just any music will do. There are tons of audio files available on your phone that you can listen to, but not all are created equal. In fact, some research shows that certain genres might actually hinder performance while others help it improve. Here’s what kind of workout music you should use at different times during warm-ups, classical music boosts coordination; pop songs work well during high-intensity workouts; slow songs with low tempos reduce fatigue.
