"I have actually been checking out all the episodes. They are awesome and very educational, which is great for me at this point and time. I was in the Marines and since i have been out been in limbo of what I wanted to do and watching the episodes have motivated me to get back into fitness hard and heavy. I well be going to check out programs in schools for exercise science and hopefully get the ball rolling. You guys are doing a great job at FITr.tv and please keep the videos coming with all the great information." - John P.
"I've been watching the Barbell Shrugged episodes for a while now they are great. All of you guys seem to be very knowledgeable. Keep up the good work and I look forward to more of the info you guys put out there. I didn't know how much feedback you all have been getting for you efforts so I wanted to send this to say Thanks." - Andy C.
"I just discovered you guys and want to say your videos kick ass! I've watched 4 or 5 within the past day and love it. Keep it up!" - Brian P.
"Your show is awesome! I listen to the podcasts on my commute to work. You guys take questions for the show? I'm joining Battle Born Crossfit on Monday, but I have a few injuries, just questions to help me out transitioning from a being a meat head to really getting fit." - Andy L.
"Fairly new to crossfit... only four months. Got into it after running and cycling for a while to get leaner and more fit. Thanks a lot, great videos and podcast, I spend a lot of time on the road listening! Proud to see Matt Hoff on there, I go to Crossfit Inception in Colunbus, Ga, he's very knowedgeable and a great coach!" - Steven B.
"I just started watching your podcasts and TechniqueWOD videos and I think you guys are awesome. I love strength and conditioning and I think it would awesome to learn more from you guys." -Greg H.
"I stumbled across your podcast several months ago and have really enjoyed listening to what you and everyone at Faction (ie., Fitr.tv) have to say about CrossFit and it's community." - Joshua B.
"Just wanted to say thank you for the videos! I've gone from CrossFitting with an affiliate to training at home since we had to move away and the lack of a coach has really put a strain on my confidence levels on my lifts. Your videos (and Coach Burgener's videos) are just what I need to get my technique back and ultimately my confidence to increase weight. Thanks!" - Molly L.
"Just wanted to let you know that your podcasts are awesome and informative!" - Wade R.
"I've been meaning to send a message about what a cool podcast Barbell Shrugged is, this seemed like the perfect time! I'm one of Dr. Andy's (from Episode 19) students at Cal State Fullerton and after he recommended that we listen to your podcast I've been hooked. I think it's great! Super entertaining and informative. I probably look like a crazy person when listening to it because I tune in when I drive and I'm cracking up half the time. You guys definitely start my day off on the right foot. Well, thanks! I look forward to more Barbell Shrugged!" - Ana R.
"Your Barbell Shrugged Podcast and the Wodcast podcast out of Los Angeles have set the standard. I've since deleted another CrossFit podcast because it was hard to listen to after yours." -Suzie P.
"Love the show and have really learned a lot. It's great listening to people that are as, if not more, obsessed with this stuff than me." - Shaun C.
"I discovered the podcast about a month ago. I have learned a great deal and absolutely love it! I have a 1hr-1.5hr ride to work so I usually pick an episode, burn it to CD and listen to it on the way to work." - Mike B.
"I'm a newcomer to the world of CrossFit and I just wanted to thank you for the fantastic resource that is the Technique WOD. My situation is a bit unique, in that I'm a Peace Corps Volunteer living in a small town in rural Ukraine, with no access to a CF box or trainer. Everyday I wake up at 5 AM to train at the gym in the local agricultural college, the only place in town with barbells. Due to the lack of a trainer, all my training relies on educating myself. Technique WOD has really helped me begin this process and I just wanted to reemphasize how grateful I am that this resource is free so that a volunteer living on a bare bones stipend can learn to CrossFit properly." - Larry G.
"One of the best Podcasts out there and not just for the CrossFit community. Entertaining & Knowledgeable, as a CrossFitter I get tips, cues & fixes…Affiliate Owner I get knowledge & ideas…Listener I get an hour of pure entertainment each week. I have recommended Barbell Shrugged and fitr.tv to all my friends, family & clients!" -Nick S.
"I love the videos, they are absolutely amazing. I have my own affiliate and appreciate how involved Faction Strength and Conditioning (Fitr.tv) is in keeping good information flowing through our community." -Arturo F. of South Sacramento CrossFit
"Your podcast is Awesome!" -Reed E.
"The podcasts feel like a couple buddies sitting around and talking about what has worked, and what hasn't for them and some of the people they train. Love the technique wods and the daily BS too." -Survey Response to "What is your favorite thing abotu fitr.tv?"
Just letting you know that Mike, Chris, CTP, and yourself (Doug) are awesome. I love the podcast and look forward to it every week, keep up the good work!" -Christian L.
"On a side note, your podcast is one of the best gigs out there. Very informative, and quite entertaining. Keep up the great work." -James B.
"Having just finished the Army's SF Qualification Course that's extremely endurance oriented, you never could have told me a year ago that I'm able to develop strength while maintaining VO2 max; however, through your guidance I've been able to increase all strength based lifts to nearly body weight and a half. Thanks for the great work you guys do, I'm constantly plugging your blog for our guys that are trying to get seriously fit. Keep up the good work!" -Alex B.
"I am a personal trainer in New Zealand and I really enjoy your videos. I only have a basic qualification that covers that essentials so I find the information and discussions are massively useful. You have helped me form and mold my own point of views and ideas of what it is all about being a trainer and what is best for my clients needs. Cheers guys, keep it up! :-) " - John B.
"Big fan of your podcast from the 'deep north' of Eastern Australia - the tropical pointy bit. Although Cairns is a city of some 125,000 we are still a remote area and getting good coaching and advice is not so easy. So I look forward to your entertaining and informative podcasts. Chris, just finished up your Simple Strength seminar - awesome. Inspirational, informative and to be honest a breath of fresh air - I have just completed Jan John's MMS and then Rippetoe's Novice program. I felt I was in a rut and needed 'permission' to experiment and adapt. I found your Block and Ramping format far easier for me to take in than Ripp's 'reset ' technique. Have been reading your blog too - your more than just a 'pretty face'! :-) " - Mark M.
"Hey guys, I love the podcast! My mind is blown on a weekly basis by the information you guys put out." -Ty P.
"Thanks so much for putting together such a great website and podcast. I always look forward to the weekly podcasts and technique of the day videos. The info is always top notch and very helpful. I recently ordered Simple Strength and Maximum Mobility. I have only been using the information I learned from your products for a very short time, and I'm already seeing strength gains and much improved mobility, and as a result, I just feel better overall. The updates you guys added to Simple Strength and Maximum Mobility added even more value (at no extra charge). Thanks for that. I've noticed significant strength improvements since working on exercises in Maximum Mobility. Today, at my crossfit box, I was showing a friend (a professional mma fighter) how to get a deeper hip flexor stretch from info I learned from Maximum Mobility, and my crossfit coach has us using the Simple Strength plan. I highly recommend Maximum Mobility and Simple Strength!" -Shayne P.

"Got my shirt in the mail the other day, dope ass shirt I love it. Thanks again." -Mike M.
"I am a 22 year old college student here in Iowa. I have been doing CrossFit for about a year and love every aspect of it. I am currently training for the open and have a goal to get to the games one day and to have my own box. I have recently been listening to your guys' podcast and really enjoy tuning in and have learned a lot already! So thanks for that! Keep up the good work on the podcast, you guys are a lot of fun and I learn so much!" -Blake M.
"Sarah here from Copenhagen - supposedly we have the biggest crossFit craze community per capita worldwide - at least that is what we like to think here and your podcast has definitely reached us! Just wanted to say that I REALLY love your show...and guys, how do you keep up with life when you get caught watching hours and hours of podcasts on top of training??? It's tough! LOL" -Sarah B.
"I love your show and feel like I have learnt so much watching the podcasts. Awesome!" -Sarah B.
"I know I still have a long way to go as a CrossFitter and I'd love to put on some quality weight. Particularly, as a woman, I've had difficulty finding guidance for this because most sites warn me "don't worry about getting too muscular!" but fuck it (pardon my French) I want to get muscular. Most of my training I've cobbled together from reading websites and aggravating the coaches at my gym with too many questions. Thanks so much for your wisdom and sense of humor and advice-- it gets me through the long walks through the blizzards (uphill both ways!) to campus and back." -Jomad
"Just want to say, love the barbell shrugged podcast and technique WOD, really insightful and no bullshit!" - Josh M.

I've directed so many people to Fitr and have even put a link up on my affiliates home page for our clients to go to www.crossfitrefuge.com." -Jason B.
"Love the stuff you guys put out. As a " newborn" in the world of fitness, it's pretty daunting to wade through everything that's out there as far as information is concerned. Should I eat eggs raw? Should I lock myself Ina room with 300 lbs and not leave until I can throw it around like a pillow? You guys deliver a clean, precise, and (awesomely) laid back perspective to the world of CrossFit." -Jacob W.

"I would like to give general good feedback on the Faction Foods Nutrition Course (FFNC). It is easy. It is emotional appealing. As someone who studies biology i found your simplistic methods of explaining nutrition and fats rather delightful, even though for me it was a lot of repetition. However for my mother it was a real eye-opener, and a real stress reliever, since she has never ever done a science in school. Thank you for making this seminar available through the internet, this was a 10/10 purchase." -Yours Sincerely, Mr Stig
"Absolutely love the podcast. I feel like I learn so much from listening, thanks guys!" -Chad W.
