Power Athlete Reviews 

The community that power athlete has created is amazing. My enjoyment for fitness has increased a ton... Not to mention my actual fitness level. I literally can't say enough good about it.

I have been training with power athlete for just over a week and I feel like I’m going to hit my biggest PRs within the next 6 months. It’s not just banging weights. Not only is it helping with my overall strength gains it’s also driving my athleticism and mobility. The program uses warmups to build your key stabilizer muscles that aren’t the fun lifts but are, as I’m finding at my age, very important especially when lifting heavier. A great program focused on real world performance and not just to look pretty.
Take it for what it’s worth as I have only been on it a week but I have already noticed a difference. I have lifted off and on since I was 19 and have been a competitive athlete my entire life. I trained mostly in full range of motion bodybuilding lifts.

One week in and I’m already feeling stronger and more importantly, athletic. I’m starting a fire academy at 36 years old and I feel like this programming is preparing me to be at my best. It has the right amount of strength work to conditioning ratio along with movements to enhance athleticism. I’m sold!

Just to give a shout-out to the team working on HAMR - before PA I was burning the boats every day with CrossFit style workouts without much to show for it. Ever since transitioning to HAMR I have made 100 lb gains in deadlift and squat as well as feel better conditioned and able to run for longer duration without getting gassed. To go from barely able to walk after a double lung transplant in 2018 to this year running a 25:30:00 three miler, deadlifting nearly 2X body weight, squatting 1.5X body weight, and benching 1X body weight is surreal. I sincerely appreciate the time, effort, and brain power that goes into these programs and can 100% attest to it working for even moderately experienced college athletes.

The company has excellent staff with a great mobile experience for tracking workouts, and a good blog. The programming on Johnnie WOD is effective and just plain fun too.

I love the programs and education they offer. I listen to all the podcast that have great guests and informstion

Programming is super easy to follow and the videos help tremendously. I also love the added cardio to train aerobic capacity to help with leaning while packing on muscle.

I like it. Good so far.

No matter what, I always end up back on PA's programming. Most well thought out, intentional programming on the interwebs machine...

I dropped 15 pounds from June 2023 through September 2023 using this plan. My wife started this plan in July and has lost 10 pounds. Both of us are still on the first phase of the leaning protocol. We track our progress on an InBody scanner at one of our local supplement shops and the scanner indicated that we both lost mostly fat rather than lean mass.

As a firefighter Power Athlete programs help us sharpen the axe 🪓 and be the hammer 🔨

And as a long term user of Grindstone, and more recently Dragon Slayer, I can safely say they help me to remain athletic and be ready for any challenge, whether that’s at work fighting fires or others on the mat!

Start today, sharpen the axe and be the hammer!

I haven’t come across programming any better than this, definitely not at this cost. As an almost 40 yo mom of 6 with little time to put in hours but be given the option to train in such an efficient and effective way is literally what I’ve been looking for for years. My goal has been to put on more muscle bc as we know, at my age it’s build to maintain down the line. This is it. It’s legit. No bs. It works!!🙌🏼💯

Easy to follow, world class programming served on a platter through TrainHeroic on a daily basis, it even has video guides. Enjoying the results in sports and everyday life from the programming; not to mention the community and knowledge sharing on Discord and the podcasts and blogs.

This programming is outstanding - takes the thinking & guesswork out of it...literally the showtime rotisserie of programs - set it and forget it baby. ZI just show up to the gym, open my app and do the work. If I programmed my own workouts, I'd only do what I wanted to do...not what would make me better, or what i needed to work on. Open the app, follow the program - all work, no thinking.

I really enjoy the programming and the no BS approach Power Athlete and John bring. Follow the path, move some dirt and get jacked along the way.

Cheers fellas.

I really like this plan a lot. Challenging but not impossible like some other RX’d programs. Fun workouts.

Using this program is great, and I’m stoked to find one tapered to jiu jitsu.

The one thing I would change is the ability to pause a workout. For example, if I have a weight routine from the app partnered with Rolling, I usually keep the work out open, till I roll that evening/afternoon. Happy to discuss further if more clarification is required.

Other than that really liking it.

I choose HAMR because being a first responder and being in the position where others rely on my ability to fit and ready I needed a program that mirrors my goals.
HAMR has helped with building strength, overall fitness and being more capable for whatever life throws at me.

Easy to understand, great programming, lots of support and communication

On the Grindstone program again, excellent program that allows for flexibility.
