Really rate the fair points shows, mildly confused about the season/series lay out but that’s negligible..

Is it just me or is Sonny started to sound Australian? Maybe it’s Lindel moulding him.

Big up Fezza, more grounded than an earth rod.

So entertaining to listen to, it’s free education and so thought provoking you can’t help but learn. I thought I was argumentative but James is something else 😂. Love it, thank you

Love listening to James, ive got all of his books on Audible and it’s great listening to different things on his podcasts too.

The things he talks about are always thought provoking and makes you want to take action.

“If its not a fk yes, then it’s a NO!” greatest relationship advice Ive ever heard and made me realise I was in the wrong relationship.

Always make me giggle abit aswell and that is just good for the soul.

Living in Dubai I miss hearing normal lads chat. Love how honest you are and good balance of being mature and sincere but also vile.

Thanks! Going through the backlog now

He just makes sense! Working my way through the episodes on my morning walks and I have several lightbulb moments! ‘Dieted’ my whole life ( feels like it anyway) and never understood the true grit of loosing weight, James is easy to listen too and I’m sure my laughter outbursts make me look a bit crazy ( the slimming world gags are class and so true.

Always good craic, good conversations and good informative pieces on this. Don’t bother if you’re easily offended - but you’re missing out. Always waiting for the next one to come out!

Such an inspirational person to listen to , with great knowledge and being very open

Listen to at least 2 episodes per day because it’s so good :)

This guy is next level, James’ stripped back no nonsense approach is so refreshing!!

Love this podcast. Absolutely hooked from the first episode. Funny, educational and eye opening. Can’t recommend enough

How have I only just found this podcast. Love and appreciate all the honesty so many people skirt around a lot of the issues and topics but it’s so nice to hear. Found myself binge listening but feel so much better about/in myself after even just a few episodes. Thank you so much for the honesty and research you do

Just wish it had found this sooner. Laugh out loud funny. But heartwarming too. Addicted.

The episode with Frankie-wow!! Honest, brave, engaging and warm he came across so well, what a guy!!

Just love these podcasts! The latest with Frankie C is bloody brilliant!

It’s amazing to finally hear it how it is, and how honest he is that he could be making up stats. So relatable and a breath of fresh air.

So refreshing to hear James tell it how it is! He speaks so much truth and in a language that you can understand rather than using technical jargon to blind you with science. His hilarious analogies lighten the mood but they're true and you remember & understand what's being said. More Fair Points please!!

Some people find James arrogant, abrasive - whatever. Thing is, they probably can’t handle the truth he speaks about fitness. He takes complex topics and breaks it down - I’m a personal trainer myself and he’s a role model and inspiration for my approach with my own clients.

If you value your own health, fitness etc - listen to James. He knows what he’s on about.

Thank you so much for this podcast with Dr Louise Newson, so informative & a great down to earth chat that has helped me so much! X

Best podcast out there, laid back and great guests, very relatable topics!

Between his audiobooks and podcasts this man has saved my life. And I’ve never even met the bloke!!

The episode with Dr Louise Newson was incredibly informative & has made me reconsider my decision to not have HRT. I’m menopausal & have been for over 2 years. I’ve now made an appointment to see my GP because I did believe HRT would cause breast cancer. Thank you James & Dr Louise Newson for educating me on this subject.

Always an uplifting, funny listen and can change your outlook instantly for the day.

Pure joy to listen to.

The fitness industry needs more of this honesty and coaches with his knowledge, my daughter is looking at entering into the fitness industry, I’m definitely gonna get her into this guy’s podcast and books.

New listener to the podcast here (currently listening to his ‘18/‘19 material), straight off the bat, the information discussed is very digestible, relatable and ultimately very useful. Being a PT/Coach myself you can tell James really cares about the information he portrays to his audience as a) he speaks vividly and passionately about his own personal experiences with each topic discussed and b) he has no loyalty to any brand/company thus his views/opinions are unfiltered. Very refreshing to hear having been brought up in the social media era of the fitness industry! Top Work. 👏🏻

Favourite Highlight (so far): #14: Supplements.

Discussing his love for caffeine and the ‘aggression’ it gives him when training: ‘and when I say aggression I don’t mean I’m gonna go punch a kid in a playground’. 😂

Highly recommend the podcast, keep doing what you’re doing James! 🙌🏻

Listened to all James’s podcasts now. The man has a obvious knack of putting all his guests at ease. A mixture of cheekiness, brutal honesty and a apparent genuine interest in what his guests are saying. Other people in his demographic are all too quick to make every podcast about themselves. James does not do this and will confidently engage in debate even if it is contrary to his core beliefs. I have laugh, cried and most importantly learned whilst listening to these podcasts. Highly recommended

Best episode

Love the fact your podcasts are starting to flow again. Insightful and interesting people the recent episode regarding BJJ. WoW. Ffion Davies what a star. James you definitely need to her grow her brand. She came across really well. Keep up the good work. Many thanks and big love. Tibbo.

I’ve been following James for many years on FaceBook and Instagram. I love his honesty and fitness/life advice.

I’ve also bought his two books- Not a diet book and Not a life coach. These are super reads! He has such a good outlook on life.

I’m now making my way through his podcasts which are fab! He has had some super guests on them too!

I’ve been following James for less than a week and already I’m hooked. So much of what he says makes sense. In the last year I’ve lost 3 stone - I’ve still got more to lose as I’m still overweight/obese whatever you want to call it, but listening to the podcast, Instagram and daily emails is definitely the motivation I’ve been missing recently.

If only all PT’s were more honest with the people paying their wages. What a breath of fresh air. I’m ordering the books after this and will be looking to sign up the academy! Keep doing what you do. You deserve all the success in the world!

Loved it. So open and real . James I’ve seen another side of you . So interesting .

Interesting topics, good guests, funny, great host

Quality banter and quality content

If you’re ever feeling irrational or any sort of negativity just pick an episode of this and you’ll feel a million times better after. Puts everything into perspective with a strong dose of laughs too.

As always, I appreciate your honesty and how by your choice to speak out about you personal life can help others. You give people a voice or the courage to speak up. I also love how you take the time to research and give people the facts, it’s never just about pushing your opinion on others. Keep doing what you’re doing... Thank you and thanks to your podcast pals x

Ferris’s giggle really is infectious, sharing the everyday things and laughing over memories makes great listening. Mixing that with professionals- a great combination!

Fahrenheit was king at school!

Remember happiness is not ready made 😊

Love anything he does !!

Always learn something new and makes you think about inherent values & beliefs 👍🏻 x

I discovered James through Instagram a couple of months ago and promptly bought and read both books. Then found out he had this Pod. I’ve gone back to the beginning and am making my way through them and love the free form and the way the content and the message is delivered. I’ve recommended it to my friends and family who I think would benefit from his take on life, nutrition and fitness and even bought some of them copies of his books. Can’t recommend James’ content enough and especially this podcast!

You shouldn’t have let her go James!

This was the best pod I have listened to in a very long time . You guys are great together and Shona would be an absolutely fantastic co- host . I definitely feel a few more episodes with similar content / topics would be very well received. The energy and connection you both have is captivating. Could Shona have been the one ?..I think so 😘

Such a great podcast. Have learnt so much from this man. Highly recommend. Give it a listen. You won’t regret it. Thanks James 🙏🏼

Talks about very interesting and relevant topics, just a regular guy giving his own insight, almost every conversation I now catch myself saying ‘as James Smith says...’

This man speaks so much SENSE

I love listening to these podcasts whilst walking, I’m a PT and it’s nice to listen to someone preaching the truth

The most informative thing I’ve ever listened to. Everything made so much sense. I loved it! Thanks James for making me realise as females, we aren’t just black and white. Looking forward to making my way through the rest of your podcasts

The most informative podcast episode I have listened to. Every woman should listen to this. Thank you for actually taking the time to look into it and sharing.

Just recently starting to listen to your podcasts after following you on Insta. Everything I’ve listened so far I learnt something or taken something valuable away from it. And that at the end of the day is the aim of the game

Rating this 5 star to give James Smith a hard on when he’s above Joe Rogan, boss podcast

Amazing podcasts! Love James no bs approach to health and fitness, his knowledge is incredible! Also he’s bloody hilarious love listening to his pods 😘 xx

Great podcast, gives you some straight talking harsh realities that some people might not like. He’s definitely not for everyone but I personally think he’s brilliant.

Quite a lot of rubbish chat, not as funny as he thinks he is. Guests are good though

Thought I’d go back and listen as a friend mentioned him - the interpretation of the Cold War, borders, race and gender is hysterical.
