Thank you for making this Podcast. It was helpful. Thank you

I’m not a body builder. I’m not in particularly good shape, but I’m 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 I’m 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 I’m now a middle aged lady, tired and broken by working the pandemic, and politics, and world news—and becoming a widow…I came upon the Pump Club and it has motivated me in ways I can’t describe. I commute and stream all the episodes (I’m 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 research—his comments are well-researched and intelligent. I’m tired of hearing about these fads, that everyone jumps on in hopes off “hacking” their health and fitness. Arnold very wisely lays it out in 12 minute segments—there are no hacks. Sleep well, eat well, exercise when you can. That’s it-that’s what works. And he’s right. But the real value in this podcast is the positive message that comes through. It’s 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 COVID—the 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. I’ve 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 I’m 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 else—bullies don’t win. In the long run, live and positivity is more powerful than hate and divisiveness. I’m motivated to start working in my health a little more and making what small changes I can , day to day, to make lasting benefits. It’s 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 changes—the man who carries away small stones consistently and repeatedly, eventually moves a mountain.

Hello: I started with with Arnold’s Autobiography Be Useful extremely helpful. That led me to try Arnold’s Pump Club email 📧 newsletter. With busy life it was easier to listen to his PODCAST series. Arnold’s 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 can’t hurt and Arnold’s advice works it worked for myself. Arnold has always had the motivation to success from weightlifting, acting 🎭 and government service. Enough said just do it and hit the subscribe button. Anthony

This transforms my life and will continue to do so

Wow, after Arnold’s hiatus, he sounds younger! And…even more like a machine than before 😂 This podcast is now a robot. Bring back the old voice.

At age 56 I’ve 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 I’m into the podcast. I found the information navigating protein bars super useful and will be trying the David brand. Thanks!

My boyfriend introduced me to your podcasts: They’re the greatest thing I’ve encountered in my journey back to health. Had numerous health problems and I’m so anxious to get back in shape—physically AND mentally. I spent my 20’s & 30’s in the gym; but for numerous reasons, I’be become completely sedentary, and very depressed as a result of that. Hearing your positivity and methods are exactly what I needed. Thank ypu Arnold!!!!

I have loved every episode of this podcast. It was a staple of my morning workouts. It disappeared over a month ago. I hope it’s coming back.

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

Fantastic insightful it’s all up to you!

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!

For decades, Arnold knows how to deliver a message that clears the air and gives logic and reason for his practical advice.

There are few people outside of my family I trust more than Arnold.

Helping me find more pleasure in life.

Arnold’s 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.

It’s 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, it’s about fitness but it’s so much more than that. I recommend this podcast to anyone looking to change one’s life whether in a small way or majorly. Thank you Mr. S! You are truly an inspiration.

Awesome podcast this is a good podcast i enjoyed simple things to do to help me get results.

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 it’s ok to take it day by day and to push myself when I don’t feel like it because I’m only cheating myself if I don’t. My diet was the first thing before even stepping in to the gym. I meal prep 95% of my meals and I’m 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 I’m not rushing anything. One day at a time one pound at a time! I will succeed

I’ve 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. It’s mental nutrition at its best. Thanks, Arnold.

I love this podcast. I binged the whole thing in two days. Dying for more episodes. I am so much more motivated, and active now. The daily episodes keep me drawn in! An every day listener.

Arnold’s Pump Club is hands down one of the best fitness communities I’ve ever been a part of. It’s not just about workouts — it’s 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 Arnold’s signature humor and wisdom, making every email or post both educational and entertaining. What sets Arnold’s Pump Club apart is its focus on sustainability — it’s not about quick fixes, but building habits that last. Whether you’re a beginner looking for guidance or someone more experienced seeking inspiration, there’s something here for everyone. I’ve seen real progress in both my fitness and mindset since joining. It’s 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!

Thank you Arnold for your podcast and newsletter. As a 68 year old woman who is learning how to get stronger in a new “aging” body, your advice has inspired and motivated me to lift just a little bit more each week. You have been in my life for many decades and now I love getting older & stronger with you having my back! Blue skies my friend. Kathy J anotheremptykitchen.com

Can’t recommend this podcast enough for fans of Arnold as well as people who want to better themselves. Listening to Arnold’s stories as well as the advice he gives has truly improved my life and showed me ways of being a better person in all aspects. Highly recommend giving it a listen.
