The Unf*ck Your Fitness Podcast

If you've tried all the fad diets and are sick and tired of not achieving your health and fitness goals long-term, you've come to the right place! Welcome to the Unf*ck Your Fitness Podcast with me, Kristy Castillo. I'm here to help you break the annoying diet cycle, gain confidence, and reach your health and fitness goals. 

This podcast will show you how to be proud of the body you have, build the body you want, and enjoy the process along the way. I'll cover topics like how to get the most from your workouts, the importance of feeding your body what it needs, and key mindset shifts that will empower you. I've broken through the BS surrounding diet culture and built my dream body, all while being a busy wife, Mom and business owner, and I know you can too!

Great listen!

Love all these episodes, Great advice for health but also really nice hearing someone else in a similar place of life as me and how they manage all the things!
musicteacher678

The good stuff

Kristy, thank you for the tough love and the big fat slap in the face with this weeks episode. Ughhhh I love it so much. This was exactly the good friend wake up call to stop quitting on the weekends.
Meleah50

Thank you!!!

I have been listening to your podcast for the last few months. I’ve been on my health and fitness journey since 2016 after a car accident injured my back. I’ve had my ups and downs, and a pregnancy. In April, i was weighing in at my heaviest, around 245 pounds. Today I’m weighing in around 220 but with increased muscle and lower body fat, but most importantly more confidence! You have taught me so much!
FoxyLee555

My holy grail podcast

I wait for every Tuesday to hear Kristy’s new advice. It’s like she’s right there with Mw coaching me through each season of life. Thank you so much!
uberistrash

Nothing new here

I think this person is a great example of doing what you love, no matter how many people are out there doing it because if people like you, they will follow you and support you. However, she is not my cup of tea.

East to Follow & Works

Thank you for all of the real talk! I had no idea why nothing was working long term and now I know! Makes a big difference!

Positive & Keeps Me Motivated

Every one of Kristy’s podcast episodes helps me get my head back in the right place. it makes me think positive and be more motivated. I look forward to hearing it every week!!
Jade Brannock

This podcast 💪❤️

There are so many fitness podcasts to choose from, but this is by far my fave. It’s raw, it’s real, and Kristy makes things go from “so complicated” to “simple and achievable.” If you’re looking for a podcast to motivate you, but also change your mindset on why you should start your fitness journey, or continue it, press play, I promise you won’t regret it.

The Show

I absolutely loved this episode this morning (05/28/2024)! Happy Birthday! Please enjoy it and take the time off that’s needed! This episode definitely hit home and I need to apply. Thank you so much for all that you do!
Mbrohms

Game changer

I listened to episodes 108-112 yesterday. I had been having such a hard time making any progress at all. I listened to her and felt like she was reading my mind! I finally felt like I truly understood how to go about doing what I need to do….with intentionality.
Señorita Lorita

Really love this!

Starting my fitness journey and 1. I love your voice 2. I love the short episodes with real advice and 3. So glad I found this podcast ☺️. I am listening from the beginning so I still have a ways to go to catch up!

Episode 104

I need to listen to this episode everyday. In a nutshell, this episode says “shut up and put on your big girl panties.”
MaddyPress

I love you

I love these episodes, I work as a seamstress so I’m sitting most of the day and listening to you has gotten me back to my fitness. 2 years ago I lost and kept off 100 pounds. Not healthily I’ll admit but I did keep it off in a healthier way. Now I’m trying to lose 60 more pounds.
TopNoshRDN

Todays episode

I was screaming “YAAASSSSS QUEEEEEEEEN” in my car listening to this!
Kelliebellie1

Really loving this podcast

I love the straightforward advice peppered with lived past experiences. It’s incredibly relatable.
Jimmyt24

My favorite fitness podcast

I love this podcast. Kristy keeps it real, honest and has a way of supporting the community of people who are looking to improve. One thing I love is she is open, and willing to help. She’s not pushing her coaching on her podcast to try to make a buck. She is here to help and keep it straight and honest. She’s worth a listen and I am certain you’ll enjoy
KingHenery5

Motivational and informative!

I’ve been looking for some motivation in my fitness journey and Kristy Castillo’s podcast has been great to listen to in the am as I’m getting ready for work. I highly recommend a listen!
kt.munchkin

Love it!

I love this podcast so much! If I could rate it higher I would! I’ve been listening regularly for about 2 months now, and just having this and listening to it has done so much to educate me and keep me motivated to work out. I’ve learned so much about creating a sustainable fitness journey. The topics are so relevant and helpful, I'm genuinely so grateful this podcast exists!
pretty12345)

Love her!!

I’ve been listening to this podcast for a month or two now and I’m obsessed! I’ve always been generally active but this podcast is helping me to unlearn bad habits and learn healthy ones. I wish there were more uploaded a week because I can’t get enough!
Promise2myself10

Specific and honest conversations

I must say this is one podcast that I could connect wholeheartedly. I have started waiting for a new episode and keep coming back to it. Thank you so much for sharing unfiltered, honest and specific things that I can take action on. A couple of episodes are so brutally honest that I replay them whenever I need. Appreciate all the effort you are putting in to share your experience
Hanah_Nguyen1314

Fitness Topics that are Real!

I absolutely love the topics you address and your view on fitness being a lifestyle. I really resonated with the episode on getting on track after travel. I took a 1 week trip in October and it caused 3 weeks of being off track (before/during/after). But you normalized it and made me realize not to feel awful about it, but to just take the time you need and get back to your healthy habits! Keep it up 👍
HalesinVail

Kristy keeps it real

I love listening to Kristy’s podcast, I’m a health nut but I also sometimes struggle to maintain focus and I can overthink things often. Kristy speaks to my heart on so many subjects and I’ve been able to share her podcasts with friends who need guidance on their fitness journey. Thanks girl!
Alibaba429

Useless

This show is nothing more than incoherent repetitive rambling. The hostess just kept saying “progressive overload” and promoting her fitness products
oifran81

The best F*king fitness podcast

Seriously, it just took me 10 minutes of listening to Kristy and I already felt in love and already am a HUGE fan. The things that she said, the way that she say, makes you get it, its simple, makes you inspired, makes you wanted to go and get your fitness life together, and just go for that body you “wish” you had to go and make it happen, if you dont work hard, you’re not going to get it. Kristy is an inspiration, an fitness and life coach, super knowledgeable and cool. I feel like she is my friend… love this podcast so much! When Im driving and my husband call me to say nothing important… Im like: - I have to hang up, Im listening to my fitness podcast lol. Thank you Kristy for all you do, I appreciate you SOOO MUCH! 🫶🏼💓🙏🏼 your work its just AMAZING! Congratulations! 👏🏼💪🏼
puzzled momma 323

First Time Listener - I am hooked

The first episode I listened to was on macro tracking. I am not new to macro tracking but I am in a rut and found everything you have to say help ease the anxiety behind what the data reflects once entered. Can’t wait to reach my goals and take in all your shared knowledge!
Happy Feet Nemo Finn

Great info!

Kristy does such a great job of telling you REAL information. I have leaned so much and have seen and felt my mind shift change as I progress in her podcast. Kristy is so amazing and easy to connect with. I love getting to know her and real life fitness through this podcast.
bruecfhg673?

THE BEST learning right here!

I love that every time I listen to an episode, I learn something and can directly apply it in the same day! So much here! Kristy is realistic, knowledgeable, energetic, and easy to listen to. Every time I finish an episode, I say to myself, that was my favorite one. Ha! ❤️ And now, I’m signed up for coaching, even better!
cris11kins

Great info!

Love this podcast! Realistic, tried and true strategies for improving fitness!
LaTasha-Midnight Ghost Stories

Amazing Motivation!

I just found this podcast and I love the motivation and tips! I have been struggling so bad with getting back into my fitness journey after Bodybuilding. I’m trying to find a way to lose weight and eat healthy without stressing over it, great information from this podcast!
Jennifer Lynn 29

I love & appreciate you!!

I appreciate your honesty & genuine nature. I just listened to your “How to stop out of control eating”and I am so grateful to hear the things that you said. I have a been on a health and fitness journey for a while now, but ever since I had my last baby, I have struggled. I am hopeful that I will get back in a better place and that is thanks to you! I cannot wait to listen to more of your podcasts. Thank you for sharing your wisdom!
hrisaacs07

Learning so much

I found this podcast a few weeks ago. I now have listened to every single episode and I’m getting ready to sign up for her one on one coaching. I’m so pumped. I promise you will learn something new every week!
iff77!

Feeling good about eating

Never thought I’d find a podcast that would make me feel like it’s ok to eat the cookies or ice cream! I look forward to each new episode! I’ve learned so much about fitness and eating habits!
Amandamarie95

Real and simple

I absolutely love your podcast! You keep it real and simple! I’m so thankful that I’ve been able to work with you and learn how to actually get the body that I want! Your tough love and support is so appreciated and I always look forward to the weekly podcasts!
Torifaith96

Best Trainer EVER

I started training with Kristy about a year ago or so. She is the best trainer I’ve ever had. I have felt so much more better mentally and physically. She is always there when you need her and she’s an amazing person inside and out. To top off all her AMAZINGNESS this podcast she created is outstanding! She is raw, truthful, and down to the point. The best knowledge about fitness and nutrition. ♥️ Reach out and get ahold of her!
joejoe castillo

Fun and Real Talk!

I learn something new during each podcast. From understanding Macros to building a consistent lifestyle with my fitness journey. Kristy keeps it real and raw. No filters and and straight to the point.
tschind

Kristy is the Real Deal

After following Kristy on Social Media for a few months, I found her podcasts and started listening to them. That then led me to her Shred program and customized Macro plan-which has given me amazing results. The content and information she provides in her podcasts is not only helpful for those who are looking to learn and grow in their own fitness and nutrition, but also for her existing clients who are in various stages of their fitness and health journey. Her down to earth, realistic and relatable conversations are a true joy to listen to, and I look forward to the new episodes each Tuesday!
Rooter42

Appreciated!

Thank you for being real. Sometimes we just need the raw truth in our face to get ourselves to wake up. Practical, easy and common sense information. Easy to understand not only the information on the podcast, but also the workouts.
jkbergmann

Relatable!!

I love listening to your podcasts. I’ve been a customer and friend of yours for a while now and watching you grow and come into your own has been amazing! The podcasts are exactly what you preach and what you do in your own life which makes you SO relatable and real.
melissa2davis

Thank you

I am planning on joining your Shred program soon, but wanted to catch up on all of your podcasts and do a little more digging on macros and recipes, along with tracking my food. I have learned so much about macros, food, working out, goals, and fad diets listening to your podcast. I love that you talk about doing what will be sustainable for you and your life, no food is off limits (even fast food), and weights vs all cardio. I can't wait to take this and run with it in a few weeks.
