Are you wasting money on trainers who spend more time on their phones than coaching you? In this episode of the Habits and Hustle podcast, I sit down with the Mind Pump team—Sal, Adam, and Justin—who reveal the red flags that expose terrible trainers.

We explore why weighted vests are causing injuries in middle-aged women and why the ripped trainer might be your worst choice. The guys share their simple five-exercise formula that transforms bodies, explain why training like a powerlifter gets women lean, and debunk protein myths flooding social media.

Mind Pump is a top fitness podcast hosted by Sal Di Stefano, Adam Schafer, and Justin Andrews—former personal trainers with over 60 combined years of experience. They've built a fitness empire through their evidence-based approach, creating the MAPS program series that sells 240 copies daily worldwide while training clients who stay consistent for life.

What We Discuss:

(08:26) Indicators of a Good Personal Trainer

(19:55) Core Values in Business

(25:56) Building a Strong Fitness Business

(33:20) Strength Training for Women

(38:13) Effective Strength Training for Bodies
