Even though Theo Benedet had been to Tennessee before to train at the Woodgym, he wasn't prepared for what was in store the last 7 weeks. For one, Charlie still couldn't say his last name (although they got that sorted, finally). 

Listen as these two recap some of the hardest training of this dedicated footballer's career, how they got Theo sorted to play in the league, and the one piece of advice from Charles that grew to redefine how Theo saw working out. 

Charlie sits down with Ohio State football commit and Woodgymer Max to discuss his path from Montreal to Tennessee and the continuation of the Canadian Pipeline. 

The Canadian football savant is back for a second round of live-in training down south, and he and Charlie have dove into the deep end this time for 7 straight weeks. "Don't surrender to down days" has been a mantra in the gym, and it seems to be an expression that describes the cadence of these two's mad training regiment in the lead-up to the NFL combine this year. 

Charles and Theo sit down and talk about setting goals, and what it means to aim high and follow through at the highest levels of athletic performance. Wondering where to find the best refinery for your raw talent reserves? It's the Woodgym! Don't settle for lukewarm! 

Charles sits down for a stirring discussion with Dr. Sprouse to talk everything from diet, training, genetics, blood work, and their new favorite pastime -- pickleball! 

This humble brainiac preaches performance knowledge gained from his time studying emergency and performance medicine (and his own time as a triathlon athlete), as well as his vast experience with elite cyclists and others who compete at the highest levels in their respective fields. 

Be sure to drop the pod a 5 star review and hit the "Subscribe" button: we might even get the Doc on for a part 2! 

Long time Woodgym-er and world-class opera singer Farrar Strum lends his powerful pipes to the show. He shares how he started singing, how he started training with Charlie, and what it's like navigating mental health challenges and repeated affirmations throughout his life and career. 

The man, the myth, the legend, The Fort! A true Woodgym OG returns to the show to chop it up with Charlie about the past, the present, and what they are aiming for in 2024. 

Charles sits down with a performance peer and partner (and new friend) to hear a real American success story. Eddie Reymond recounts one of the coolest, most winding adventures we've heard on the pod. From Switzerland, to the States, attending college in Knoxville, selling concert tickets and then baseball cards around the country, and finally diving deep into nutrition and the Health Shoppe: he shares his amazing journey with Chaz and the Woodgym fam. It's truly an inspiring tale and a rare authentic behind the scenes entrepreneurial insight. 

Check out his ZenEvo Chocolate products, and give Eddie's Health Shoppe some love! 

Consider giving the pod a 5 star review. If we don't reach enough 5 star reviews by 2024 -- Griff will be punished, and we really don't want to have to do that!

This is a special one. Strap in and tag along as Charlie and the man, the myth, the Woodgym legend from way back, Brian DeBusk talk early days of Petrone Training. 

They dig in deep: business, healthcare, technology, Brian’s fascinating education at Vanderbilt and Emory, his current place in education at LMU, oh and they talk about training too! 

Charlie sits down with the former star Austin Peay RB and current pro footballer to get perspective on how athletes have fared through the fallout of the pandemic. They also talk training and what it takes to prepare for pro ball in the off-season. 

The Harvard DB and Charles took a break from off-season training to delve into his challenges and growth in Cambridge and the Woodgym after his first two years studying and playing Crimson football. 

The two talk training and the need for energetic discipline (all about the #vibes) and active focus on self-love in order to perform at the highest level. 

Another Emory Eagle joins the show as Claire tells Charlie about a fateful fall, how she fit in at the Woodgym, and how she plans to put an exclamation point on her basketball career while looking forward to what awaits after.
