Joe DeFranco's Industrial Strength Show

Joe DeFranco built DeFranco's Gym from a 500-square-foot storage closet into one of the most respected training facilities in the country. He has trained NFL Combine athletes, WWE superstars, and everyday people looking to move better. This podcast is where he shares the training philosophy behind all of it. Episodes run about an hour and cover a wide range: programming for peak performance, longevity-focused training as you age, mindset work, and real conversations with other coaches and athletes. DeFranco does regular Q&A episodes where he fields listener questions on everything from deadlift variations to sleep optimization. Recent topics include a breakdown of how Detroit Lions S&C coach Cam Josse handles the personal side of training pro athletes, and a practical list of simple health habits most people overlook. The show has a 4.9 rating with over 1,200 reviews, which is almost unheard of for a niche fitness podcast. DeFranco is direct, occasionally funny, and never comes across as someone selling something he does not use himself. With 560+ episodes since 2015, this is one of the most consistent weekly shows in the strength space.
