The CrossFit Podcast

CrossFit as a brand has had its ups and downs, but the official CrossFit Podcast has quietly become a solid source of health and fitness content that extends well beyond just WODs and competition results. Hosted by Denise Thomas, Jocelyn Rylee, and Maggie Mullen, the show brings in researchers, coaches, athletes, and medical professionals for in-depth conversations about training, longevity, nutrition, and community. The podcast has around 64 episodes and updates monthly, with each episode typically featuring a substantial interview. Recent highlights include Dr. Rhonda Patrick discussing the science behind longevity, Dr. Stacy Sims on female physiology in training, and Kelly Starrett talking about CrossFit's broader potential in the health space. The show earned a 4.3-star rating from over 670 Apple reviews. What makes this podcast interesting is that it's moved beyond being purely a CrossFit promotional vehicle. The guests and topics often appeal to anyone interested in functional fitness, not just people who have a gym membership at a CrossFit affiliate. The hosts do a good job of asking follow-up questions that keep conversations grounded in practical application rather than letting them drift into pure theory. Episodes run long enough to cover topics thoroughly, and the production quality is polished. The release schedule is on the slower side compared to weekly shows, which means there's less content to binge, but what's there tends to be well-produced and substantive. If you're curious about functional fitness from a broader health perspective, and not just the competitive side, this is worth adding to your rotation.
