I truly enjoy Charlie and Julie. Their passion for MAT is real and very interesting on how muscles impact our lives. The duo is articulate beyond belief and can relate to our physical circumstances so movement and strength improve. I’m a believer in MAT thanks to these authentic podcasts. I’m scheduling one on one MAT in June of 2025.

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been to them for certain issues that they’ve helped me with, whether it’s my trunk, feet, my hips, you name it they are spot on with their knowledge. They know what they’re talking about and what they do does I highly recommend them, MAT is real and effective! I’m well overdue for a visit. I’ll be signing up soon for a five pack Charlie . See you soon.

Recently found this podcast and love it! Each episode is interesting and informative. Really appreciated the podcast about osteoporosis. It was outstanding! What really resonated with me was learning that I am not exercising properly to build and maintain bone. Thank you so much for this specific information and the exercise class!

Love these two—they are here for building resiliency in every body, young or old, and they have the knowledge + curriculum to help you get there! So much wisdom in this podcast for how to live a long and healthy life.

Spot on! Second time listening. Motivation = Strategy and MAT= Resistance Training. Thank you Julie and Charlie!

Their shows are always informative and fun to listen to. I am so happy these podcasts are available.

Julie and Charlie’s podcasts, videos and programs are perfectly suited to every age and ability. As I turn 70, being healthy and strong is more important than ever. While I enjoy being active outdoors, I’ve shied away from trainers and gyms as I worry that they are mainly suited to a younger and more fit population. I don’t want to be pushed too hard and possibly hurt myself. The Exercise is Health program is so adaptable to every level of fitness and ability. The workouts are easily done at home if preferred and without the necessity of expensive equipment. The podcast information is always spot on with advice tailored to appropriate and safe workouts. It is just perfect for everyone! I love it!

Charlie and Julie really articulate the best way to exercise! Exercise has always been important to me but as someone who is currently in the process of losing weight this episode was particularly important!

You lost me with the Carnivore Diet episode. Anyone who can promote a diet that excludes all vegetables makes zero sense. And when the author said there is not a single diet that has evidence of being beneficial over the long haul, that is beyond ignorant. As one example, ever heard of the Blue Zones?

These episodes come from the sound foundation of Muscle Activation Techniques. My advice to all is to hire a good trainer to take your fitness to the next level.

Charlie and Julie know their stuff when it comes to appropriate exercise for the individual. This isn’t what you will find in the mainstream media coverage of health and fitness. Take a listen and learn something new.

these podcasts are what everyone who is exercising needs to know. they tell you how to listen to your body. Test out how low you can go before breaking form. it matters that you stay in your range rather than trying to do it faster. Totally a great find.

This is a great show. And if you want to know more about MAT or RTS - this is a perfect show for you!

Charlie and Julie’s weekly podcasts are awesome! The two of them, as well as each of their guests, speak on different topics all related to our health, and I have learned so much! In many of their podcasts, I feel like they are speaking specifically to ME!! Every week, I look forward to each new episode! Thank you for sharing your wisdom, and that of your guests, with the rest of us, so that we can ALL be the best version of ourselves!!

LOVE this podcast. It’s not just for fitness buffs but for the regular person wanting to live a lifestyle of being active! Great tips and perspective for exercise and Muscle Activation Techniques!

I LOVE this podcast and cant wait to hear it every week. I thought I knew it all with exercise but they have taught me things I never knew!! Thank you thank you THANK YOU!!!

Wow so happy I found this podcast! Julie and Charlie have great tips and examples where I find myself really relating. They are well thought out, and deliver relative and helpful content. Thank you for your commitment to US - your podcast community!

Charlie, Julie, and their incredibly knowledgeable guests talk all things exercise, but it’s so much more than that! You’ll get tons of actionable advice and tangible tips, but you’ll also get heaps of inspiration from truly engaging individuals that genuinely want to help others. Thanks so much for putting out such a spectacular show guys - keep up the great work!

This is great! I love how well thought out each podcast is and all the information you go through! Thankful for people like you. Good job Charlie and Julie

Every podcast resonates with me in some way. You don't have to be an athlete to get valuable information to apply to your life. Charlie and Julie are relateable, informative and fun.

Julie & Charlie do an outstanding job of breaking down and explaining the benefits, the how to, and the why behind exercise. A must listen if you want to improve your health or if you’re a professional in the fitness industry looking to improve your skills.

Charlie and Julie are fun, knowledgeable, motivating and dedicated to creating healthy lifestyles for everyone. This podcast is an excellent resource for individuals of all fitness levels.

Fantastic info! You guys are so fun and easy to listen to! Very inspiring! Loved the episode about the benefits of exercise! I have osteoporosis and feel strongly about maintaining bone health. Very good job explaining all the different categories of benefits. I look forward to future episodes!! Thank you!!

I just listened to a podcast on flexibility and appreciate that Charlie and Julie Cates question historical and novel stretching techniques. The advice offered is very wise and will definitely help some of my “inflexible” figure skating students think differently about their muscles and might allow them to move their joints with greater efficiency and safety.

Awesome! A lot of great info about exercise and MAT explained so clearly. This podcast also helps to look at exercise from a new perspective. Thanks to Charlie and Julie for their insight and inspiration.
