    Incredibly informative
    This was the first podcast I found when I started my competition journey three years ago. It has been so informative and helpful. 10/10 recommend.
  • Je123r
    One of my favs!
    Such a great podcast. I’ve been listening for a long time and often listen to many episodes multiple times, they all hit different at different stages of prep or off-season. I have learned so much and look forward to every episode. I highly recommend to all competitors.
  • KrysNicole15
    Love this podcast!
    I REALLY love this podcast…. When I can hear it! For some reason I can never hear anything you all are saying. It’s unfortunate because I’ve learned a lot.
  • ChibiSlyFox
    By far my favorite podcast!
    Amy and her guests are always so knowledgeable and they keep me in the right mindset every day. I am a NP, so I especially appreciate hearing current evidence regarding nutrition, overall health and bodybuilding. Let me tell ya, these ladies do not dissapoint! Thank you for all of the great content!! I am a listener for life! Evie
  • CindyHoehn
    So good!
    I love listening to Amy and her guests! Amy is so knowledable, I love learning from her! 💜
  • kc92078
    LOVE this podcast!!
    These episodes are such a highlight during my week. I love all of the content and there are such amazing women on the show. They always have such great content and always so inspiring. I’m a mom of 2 young daughters and hope to hit the stage one day. I would love to meet the GGB squad one day and hope to do a challenge with you all soon!
  • Arizona Shells
    Great even if not in bikini division
    I’ve listened to this podcast for quite some Time. As a figure competitor I found this information useful and love the personalities you guys bring !! Thank you for being awesome and for keeping the content coming even when gyms were closed !
  • Ollie Jean
    Keeps you on track and continues to educate you
    I absolutely love these podcasts. I’m unfortunately not a competitor but enjoy the health and fitness side of it. I’m a mom of 2 boys (4 and 10 months) and I’ve been listening to these podcasts on my stroller walks since the beginning of summer. Music doesn’t always work well when trying to hear your kids so these podcasts have been awesome! Amy’s voice is always such a comforting tone it’s definitely one you appreciate hearing and the information these two women have is extraordinary. It’s easy to sort through the weeks to find certain topics or choosing one. I’ve learned a lot about different things in fitness just listening to them. From supps to trends to balancing life with fitness and your mental health. I really feel like they do such a wonderful job balancing their show without the lug effect other podcasts seem to have or poor sound quality. I also appreciate them bringing up topics of kids and husbands since the majority listening probably have one or both of those things as well and it’s all a balancing act. Definitely will be a lifelong listener. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
  • hotmommashep
    Inspiring
    Great podcast for someone getting started looking for a little inspiration and closer look into the bikini competition world.
  • lo1937
    Helpful!
    Very glad I found this. The approach is science based, informative and helpful. I don’t know anyone in this world, but now I feel like I do! Thank you!
  • LDYFCE
    Great content, poor audio
    Love the podcast, the content is very informative and relative to the sport, but…. As a long time listener, I can’t give this podcast 5 stars because the hosts audio is atrocious! You can never hear what Amy is saying. Guest volume levels are always louder than the host and it’s impossible to hear what she is saying if you don’t have your volume at max. Simple issue that I’m sure can be addressed for a minimum amount of money, so no reason it’s been bad for this long.
  • Veah bug
    Best Bikini Prep Podcast!!!
    I am prepping for my first bikini competition and know very little about bodybuilding, so I have been trying to research as much as possible to bring my best self to the stage! I’m so excited to have found this podcast to learn about all things PREP from experienced bikini athletes!
  • irisemo
    Best commute ever
    I drive 50 mins one way twice a day and these ladies are amazing and highly intelligent
  • PDXtbird
    Really great podcast
    I love listening to this podcast partly because the information is good/interesting topics but also the hosts are relatable and really down to earth.
  • shantijess
    Informative and Inspiring!
    I’m not a competitor but I listen because these ladies have the formula for getting into the absolute best physical form in a healthy manner. Their focus on athletes well-being while driving them toward fitness excellence is inspiring. Thank you and keep it coming!
  • shannadmc
    Volume is low
    I love this podcast but no matter how high I turn my volume I can barely hear it. I don’t know what it is but can y’all look into this?

    ❤️❤️
    I can’t not even begin to explain how much I love this podcast!! Listening to Amy and Chris helped me so much through my very first prep session. I swear, their talks kept me sane during my prep because they let me know I wasn’t alone!
  • bikinibod928
    Love love love
    Amy, Chris, and everyone they bring on this show is SO knowledgeable. It’s such a great insight into this sport and how to overcome challenges that you thought only you were having. Truly transparent, I go back and listen to episodes that pertain to me!
  • Na'iyma
    A must listen
    Amy is amazing and I love how diverse this podcast is. It’s filled with various topics to help a competitor out in all stages. Thank you for everything that you do for the Bodybuilding community.
  • Allegra Leigh
    Helpful and Inspirational Information
    Thank you so much for putting this podcast out weekly! I think both Amy and Chris do a great job with information for new competitors as well as other competitors who have competed before. Definitely a must listen for in season competitors, improvement season and life season competitors. No matter what your background is, who you are coached by or the team you are on, it’s always important to expand your horizons and keep learning and improving! 🙂
  • faster than glibal entry!!
    Love how they dive deep into topics
    One of my favorite podcasts. They tackle more complex topics and break it down for the bikini division. A must listen for the female competitor!
  • Layfishy
    Oh, SO GOOD!
    As a first time competitor, I couldn’t be more thankful for Amy & Chris! They answer so many questions and really set you up for what to expect. Thankful for you both!
  • tinydanseuse
    Exactly what I was looking for!
    I’m so glad another competitor posted this on her Instagram - this has been a must listen as a first time competitor, both in how I can best prep myself & what to look for in coaches. There have been some amazing tips in here - all the research on gut health and hormones and thyroid/etc. I am SO grateful for this podcast!! It’s my listen in the gym!
  • Latinafit1
    Best out there, love this podcast!
    This podcast is amazing !!! They both are very Knowledgeable, what I like the most about them they want to help women not just to improve themselves in the fitness world but also in their daily life, they have all the questions and answers you need, I highly recommended Thanks Chris and Amy, It has helped me and others in so many ways, keeping going !!! You two are the best 💜💜
  • theREALsandRWAR
    Enjoyable
    I enjoy the informative podcasts. Only issue is the sound. The guests I can hear fine but the host is hard to hear. In my car I have to turn it up very loud to hear anything. I think she just has a light voice. That being said, I do appreciate competitors giving information to us mundane people. Nothing drives me crazier than a competitor saying, “I don’t know what I do.. I don’t know anything about fitness... hahaha”. Thanks for what you do.
  • PhiKapMiin
    Informative and Current
    I started listening after finding Prep Life on Instagram. I learn so much with each episode and appreciate the questions Amy & Chris ask their guests to learn their insights. Some other industry professionals relay dated information, but Amy and Chris are competitors and coaches who definitely stay current with the trends. Thank you for your content!🦄💞
  • thefitlifebritt
    Best podcast out there for bikini competitors!
    Very good information backed by science and research along with so many helpful tips. Anything and everything you need to know and do in your own life to have a true prep life style! As a competitor myself I like to live in prep mindset year round and this podcast is by far my number one go to when I need some help keeping up this lifestyle!! I completely recommend this podcast!!
  • Lauren Demarest
    Lauren D
    Love this podcast! I am new to the body building world sothis has been a wealth of information as well as helpful in keeping me motivated. I have listened to all the podcasts and look forward to the new ones. I love that you focus on the overall health of your athletes and there is a strong focus on science and research which guides your methods.
  • Becca Hays
    Amazing content/Very informative
    I could be slightly biased, as Amy Ehinger is my coach, but the content this podcast offers is real time. It’s current experiences that are happening in the here and now. This podcast highlights the struggles we may face as competitors and helps us navigate them to the best of our abilities. I would highly recommend this podcast if you plan on competing or are struggling with competing!

    I don’t get how a woman supposed to empower other women would directly support the abuse of them instead...
  • meljfit
    Volume
    Great podcast ! Love listening to you guys! Wanted to mention, however, that the volume each of you talk in is considerably different!!. So to hear Amy I have to turn the volume up but when Chris talks it’s really loud and I have to turn the volume down lol. This is with all the podcasts.. That’s tough when I’m listening during a workout or in the car. Other than that you guys are great!! Great content !!😁😁

    The queens of bikini competition prepping
    Amy and Chris are two of the most knowledgable women in the bikini competition industry. I found this podcast while looking to educate myself more about fitness, nutrition and body recomposition. I immediately was intrigued by the wealth of knowledge that they delivered each week in this podcast and started following them on instagram. I witnessed body transformation after body transformation of so many beautiful women of all shapes, ages and fitness backgrounds. I continued to listen to each episode and eventually got the nerve to email them and inquire about hiring them to guide me through my own body transformation. I thought, if all of these women had success with Glamgirl, why can’t I? Amy contacted me that very day I inquired and we set up a phone consultation the next day. Because I was just wanting to hire a lifestyle coach and since Amy only trains competition athletes, she referred me to Deborah Baska, another Glamgirl trainer and bikini competitor. Ironically, I had heard Deborah’s interview on this podcast and felt like we had a lot in common and that she would be a perfect fit for me. Four months later, I can’t tell you how happy I have been that I found Amy and Deborah. I have learned so much about fitness, nutrition and body recomposition and have seen so much progress in just four months. I have been an athlete all of my life playing basketball, softball and lacrosse and have been lifting weights for over 20 years, but never was taught the science behind body recomposition. I had always been taught to just lower my calories and do a ton of cardio and that will keep me thin and healthy. The older I got, the more I realized that wasn’t the truth. I went from diet to diet and workout plan to workout plan only to keep going in circles and never obtaining the results I had been looking for. Now, in addition to losing weight and inches, I have gained not only a tremendous amount of knowledge, but also so much confidence in myself and in what I can achieve. The Glamgirl community consists of an amazing group of like-minded, supportive and empowering women and I have enjoyed it so much that I have actually decided to change from a lifestyle client to a bikini competition client and will be stepping on stage for the first time ever this year. Thank you Glamgirl for helping me achieve personal goals that I never thought I could obtain.
  • hotpilotchic
    Amazing Podcast!!!
    I love this podcast, always excellent content and direction. I’ve been listening since before my first prep and I learned so much. I have actually replayed several episodes at different points in my prep to continue to learn.
  • softballchic98
    Now I know what to get!
    Loved this podcast!! I am prepping for my first show in April and was really leaning towards 2 colors that won’t pop with my skin tone and hair color. So glad I listened and now maybe shifting my gears towards that Kelly green 😉 thanks for all the help ladies ❤️
  • Steph Court
    Love love love!
    I just started listening to this podcast and I love it! As a bikini competitor I am always looking for podcasts or blogs that share our experiences and interview other incredible competitors and people in the industry like the co owner of Angel Comp Bikinis! Definitely go check it out!

    Prep Life Podcast and Angel Comp Bikini
    This is one of my very favorite podcasts about focused on female fitness, nutrition and bodybuilding. I appreciate the detailed experiences Amy and Chris Nichole share as well as the education and insights especially for those new to the industry. I am interested in participating in a bikini competition and I have listened to EVERY one of these episodes and have learned SO much! Also I have have sent several DMs and have received very prompt responses. I especially loved the episode with Angel Comp Bikinis — I had already received their feee samples kit after hearing about them on another podcast. I love their story and I also ordered masks from them at the beginning of covid. I am anxious to get a ‘practice’ suit soon to start practicing posing and hopefully find a great deal on Black Friday or with this entry!! I am anxious to compete next year and LOVE this resource!! Sooooo much better than some of the other podcasts with ‘bro’ talk and cursing and random/scattered info - these ladies have it right!! Thank you for giving back to the sport!!— Sharon
  • jamylynn
    Angel Competition Bikinis
    What a great podcast! I learned so much about the owners, the business and how they have worked to always be evolving in the bikini industry. Suit selection to Crystal selection can all be customized to each individual. Made me feel confident in ordering my next suit!!
  • 55853376382783662558
    I gain knowledge with every listen!♥️♥️♥️
    Amy and Chris are always looking for new material to bring to the Prep Life Podcast for in order to expand our knowledge of everything it means to be a bikini athlete and for us to bring our BEST package every time we step on stage. The prep life podcast has been a game changer for me. Beginning to work with Amy at the very start of my bikini career was the best thing that I could’ve ever asked for. As she started the podcast for the prep life, I have learned so much in terms of the bikini athlete and what is required for the sport. Today I listened to her talk with Kara with Angel Competition Bikinis and it was very enlightening, covering everything from bikini suit color to the gemstones that are on the actual bikini. It’s so motivating and inspirational and keeps me chugging along on my journey in the bikini athlete world. Thank you for always looking for new material to improve our knowledge of the sport.
  • Jules5379
    Great info as always
    I just listened to the episode with Karah from Angel Competition Bikinis. It was perfectly timed as I plan my suit for next season! The show always has such great information, and it was great to learn from an expert!
  • cp_281
    Great podcast!
    I’m in love with this podcast! Super helpful for those who are new to the sport or interested in getting started. Topics vary, but are all helpful. They have covered many questions I had or didn’t even think I needed to consider. Definitely recommend.
  • nicole-1356
    Love this podcast!
    Great tips for fitness! Love the nutritional/supplement stuff! Studies are used to support recommendations! Keep them coming!
  • Carrie Jodie
    News you can use!
    I listen to many podcasts about competing in the bikini division of bodybuilding, but this podcast really gets down in the weeds with so many important details and insights for competitors. Amy and Chris also discuss a lot of the science behind why they recommend and do what they do which is very helpful to enhance your own understanding of physique sports.
  • Jkirkeidebro
    So fun to listen to and great information!
    As a newbie to the bikini competition world this podcast has been AMAZING to listen to! Very informative and the conversations are easy to understand and very applicable to prep and competition! Highly recommend
  • JDTobias
    Love Prep Life podcasts!!! Informative and Motivating
    I am a brand new competitor, first show in October!!! I have been listening to podcasts to soak up and learn as much as I can. This by far is my favorite podcast! The information is so helpful and short and simple enough for me to get great tips every time wherever I am listening! Mostly, I find that I am more and more motivated and excited to get on stage every time I listen! Thanks so much for the time you put into this for us!
  • 12335556780
    Great listen
    Quality real talk from real people from all walks, abilities, ages, and stages of their journey. Real information for every day life and for living the “fitness life” all the way from starting to pros on the stage. Always learn something new when I listen
  • azdroj
    Girl Time with a Bikini Competitor Twist
    I call this podcast my quality girl time! As an amateur bikini competitor and just a person interested in health and wellness I love all topics that have been covered! It really helped me stay on track during my first year competing and I think the tips and tricks are really helpful in getting that competitive edge! It’s also really nice to know that we’re all in the same boat and have trials and tribulations from time to time. I look forward to a new episode ever week!
  • melsp84
    Helpful even if you don’t compete
    I’m not a bikini competitor but I do workout and care about nutrition, body image, and health. These podcasts have been helpful for me as a female athlete. I gave 4 instead of 5 stars because of audio. I have a hard time hearing Amy and when Kris speaks up it’s so loud that it startles me almost every time.
  • Elizabeth9106
    Love the podcast
    I love your podcast, very helpful information. My only suggestion would be for the co-host—she does a lot of “up-talking” so every other sentence sounds like a question. It’s a little distracting, but it’s a hard habit to break. Otherwise, good job!
  • niki_pow_
    ✨ Thank you! ✨
    As I prepare for my first show, it’s been amazing being able to tune in and listen to all your episodes!! You’re so authentic and the content is very informative and inspiring!
