NO BS
What a refreshing and clarifying motivation. Quit doing the planning and just do the freaking small things every single day track done list not to do.

On point
You said you wanted to create a positive corner- you have.
I appreciate what you are doing and look forward to tagging along. Highly motivating.
As a person who started out homeless- I especially enjoyed your depiction of social media as highlight reels. The work and the struggle is where the growing and learning happen. That is where character is forged. Keep going šš and thank you.

I enjoy your podcasts. I work out 6 days a week with morning cardio and a mixture of calisthenics and weight training in the gym. Proper eating and resting helped me a lot

Best fitness podcast hands down
Until you listen to Arnoldās and the communityās stories you just wonāt realize how inspiring and motivated this podcasts makes you. Iām down 140 lbs and counting. Lifting 5 days a week. I have completely transformed myself. Arnie keeps me going. Iāve cleared all episodes out and read the daily newsletter. I just wish the podcast would come out with more episodes.

The Great Motivator
When I listen to Arnold, I feel like I am reconnecting with a earlier version of me. When I did weight training 6 days a week. Now I am 70 and I train smarter and I listen to Arnold podcasts as I pump out 2 mile walks before I later use my kettlebells or go to the gym 3 days a week.
Pops old school is cool
Great
I wish I can explain to you how fired up Arnold makes me I mean I grew up watching all his movies i literally read his autobiography a hundred times I just put it on every morning while I lift now I find his podcast seriously? Man I m going to shake the gym like a snow globe tomorrow listening to the pump club!

Itās AI look it up
I love the podcast but I learned itās an AI voice and donāt believe it. Did some research and it is an AI voice. Still a nice podcast but definitely not the same for me now.

Superb! Suggestions below.
Grateful for Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Only suggestions are:
Please boost Arnold's microphone volume. This is the only podcast that's harder to hear.
Remove updated daily. We benefit from periodic installments.
I understand the need for ads but that's the only reason for four stars.

Fake AI Arnold Voice
I used to listen to this until I learned about Fake AI Arnold. It's not even his real voice! If you have any doubts, go back and listen to him talk about it in Episode 1!

Where has APC been all my life??
I recently discovered the podcast and the daily newsletter and I have to say both are fantastic and so well done!! I work in comms and I appreciate the whole package - the branding, the format, and how concise both products are while still providing new and valuable information. I love the positivity and Iām a lifelong huge Arnold fan, and this podcast is an example of why - everything he touches is impactful and memorable.

As a lifelong fitness fanatic, the daily emails and webcasts are excellent reinforcement for the best ways to prolong quality of life. Great tips I use personally and can pass on to the athletes and athletic trainers I work with daily.

Younger Arnold?
Wow, after Arnoldās hiatus, he sounds younger! Andā¦even more like a machine than before š
This podcast is now a robot. Bring back the old voice.
The AI generated voice is terrible.
Did I mention that the AI voice is terrible? Yep, it still is.
Work With Your Hands
Iām just a nurse
Iām not a body builder. Iām not in particularly good shape, but Iām not in bad shape. I have MS and work in critical care. I keep healthy by diet (food is medicine; or food is poison, you pick) and exercise. I used to swim daily (trying to get back into it) and I have a modest gym at home. When Iām on call, I try to spend that waiting time doing exercise to strengthen my knees and back.
My late best friend was an Arnold super fan. For decades he talked about the respect he had for him, and how Arnold never took no for an answer. How in the face of doubts from others, Arnold not only succeeded, but excelled.
Fast forward to when Iām now a middle aged lady, tired and broken by working the pandemic, and politics, and world newsāand becoming a widowā¦I came upon the Pump Club and it has motivated me in ways I canāt describe. I commute and stream all the episodes (Iām catching up) and I find myself smiling for the first time in many months, years, as I listen to Arnold talk. I nod when he talks about nutrition, and supplements, and the science backed researchāhis comments are well-researched and intelligent. Iām tired of hearing about these fads, that everyone jumps on in hopes off āhackingā their health and fitness. Arnold very wisely lays it out in 12 minute segmentsāthere are no hacks. Sleep well, eat well, exercise when you can. Thatās it-thatās what works.
And heās right.
But the real value in this podcast is the positive message that comes through. Itās as if you are sitting and having a lively chat with a trusted, knowledgeable friend. A kind and positive friend, with whom you sit and chat and hours go by feeling like minutes. You always leave feeling better and more hopeful.
I know my world went dark after COVIDāthe way people started arguing and fighting, the science deniers and how politicized it became. Then the last flicker of light went out when my husband died suddenly at 58. Iāve been sleepwalking since. I tried picking my life up by the remaining little pieces, but after listening to a few of these podcasts, I find that Iām finally in a place where I can do my small part in the world, I can do what I can to make the world a little more kind, never-mind everything else and everyone elseābullies donāt win. In the long run, live and positivity is more powerful than hate and divisiveness. Iām motivated to start working in my health a little more and making what small changes I can , day to day, to make lasting benefits. Itās possibly the best 12 minutes of the day, listening to these podcasts, as far as the return you get from 12 minutes invested.
And small changes are the lasting changesāthe man who carries away small stones consistently and repeatedly, eventually moves a mountain.

Wisdom to Live Strong šŖ
Hello: I started with with Arnoldās Autobiography Be Useful extremely helpful. That led me to try Arnoldās Pump Club email š§ newsletter. With busy life it was easier to listen to his PODCAST series. Arnoldās advice ranges from making small changes at time to face those fears. We focus on movement , better sleep and utilization of our time. Give POD cast a try it canāt hurt and Arnoldās advice works it worked for myself. Arnold has always had the motivation to success from weightlifting, acting š and government service. Enough said just do it and hit the subscribe button.

Great Guidance!
At age 56 Iāve had to make some drastic changes to diet and exercise routine to get my A1c under control. My wife has been sharing information from your news letter to help me along and now Iām into the podcast. I found the information navigating protein bars super useful and will be trying the David brand. Thanks!

Is the podcast over?
I have loved every episode of this podcast. It was a staple of my morning workouts. It disappeared over a month ago. I hope itās coming back.

Great Info
I really love your podcasts. But not sure if theyāre for me. I am 72. I was very curious about the Momemtus Creatine, not sure if it would be for me since I donāt work out. But I do yoga almost daily. I am in excellent health. Take no medication. What would your opinion be?

So funny and helpful!
I just found this podcast. I love the way Arnold delivers his messages and cracks jokes in between, using his past characters and movies to connect with the audience. Great information and inspiration too!

Fantastic content, WAY too much selling
Arnold is my childhood hero. I have nearly all of his movies. Whatās not to love about him? Heās an icon in the fullest sense of the word. However, as fantastic, encouraging, motivating, enlightening, and well-researched the content is, after listening to back to back episodes which I did to catch up, it really feels like a content sandwich wrapped in a giant commercial. Almost like the content calendar is created based on what relevant products can be sold at a commission. It just comes off very salesy and inauthentic after a while. I really donāt think this is Arnoldās fault though. Heās got a small staff that does all of the research, and Iām sure itās not trivial and easy work, so these guys gotta get paid. Itās not like Arnold needs the money. All that being said, if you can suffer through them selling the same relevant products over and over and over again and tying it to the lessons for the day, then you wonāt have any troubles, and you will surely appreciate the content, because itās great, and again, how can you not love Arnie?

The GOAT
Arnoldās wisdom and simple resourcefulness is exactly what the world needs at the moment. With all the negativity on the internet ~ influencers that have no business being influencers ~ and the world being a very chaotic place at the moment where you have to constantly sift though the peripheral noise ~ this Podcast brings sound & logical advise to the listener.

Itās about Positivity and Improvement
Itās amazing to me that we get to benefit from the advice, philosophy, and experience of a man who has been successful in everything he has endeavored to apply himself to in his life. Yes, itās about fitness but itās so much more than that. I recommend this podcast to anyone looking to change oneās life whether in a small way or majorly. Thank you Mr. S! You are truly an inspiration.

Motivation
I was so happy to find this podcast. I injured myself and life threw obstacle after obstacle at me and my health deteriorated, my weight skyrocketed, and one day I had enough! I have gone from over 460lb to 350 in this last year I was always around 235-240 and loved being at that weight and in the gym. This podcast has helped me to understand that itās ok to take it day by day and to push myself when I donāt feel like it because Iām only cheating myself if I donāt. My diet was the first thing before even stepping in to the gym. I meal prep 95% of my meals and Iām now in the gym 6 days a week at 4:30 am and take it day by day I know where I want to be and Iām not rushing anything. One day at a time one pound at a time! I will succeed

Concentrated Power
Iāve been a high energy optimist for as long as I have memories. But like so many people out there, right now is the hardest my life has ever been. Choices I thought were correct turned out not to be, and these compounded into new lows. The Pump Club is my new morning go to as I get myself unstuck. Arnold covers it all in focused bursts of inspiration, knowledge and positivity. Itās mental nutrition at its best. Thanks, Arnold.

Life-Changing and Motivating!
Arnoldās Pump Club is hands down one of the best fitness communities Iāve ever been a part of. Itās not just about workouts ā itās a full package of motivation, expert advice, and a no-nonsense approach to living a healthier, stronger life. The content is top-notch, blending science-backed fitness tips with Arnoldās signature humor and wisdom, making every email or post both educational and entertaining.
What sets Arnoldās Pump Club apart is its focus on sustainability ā itās not about quick fixes, but building habits that last. Whether youāre a beginner looking for guidance or someone more experienced seeking inspiration, thereās something here for everyone.
Iāve seen real progress in both my fitness and mindset since joining. Itās like having Arnold himself cheering you on every step of the way. Highly recommend to anyone who wants to take control of their health and fitness while feeling like part of a supportive, inspiring community!

Long time follower
I started bodybuilding and powerlifting in the late 80s. Of course I followed you intently at during those periods. Now that I am much older and facing many physical obstacles I so appreciate all of your uplifting commentaries and efforts to bring positivity to my life. I so respect that you do so much to help the environment and focusing on humanitarian justice, as well as all of us in our minds and bodies! Thank you for helping me through a very difficult time in my life, dealing with an extremely painful physical event that has left me temporarily disabled. - Fran
