Second episode of the LA Baddies Fitness Club Local Legend Series This episode we got Priscilla and Luis, two people who’ve been part of the community for years. We met them at different times, but over the last 5 years we’ve shared hikes, runs, cycling events, races, and a lot of random adventures together. We talk about their favorite hikes, hardest hikes, favorite snacks on the trail, and someh...

First episode of the LA Baddies Fitness Club Local Legend Series We’re starting it off with one of our OGs, Kristin. She’s been rocking with us from early on and has really been a big part of the community. It all started with a cleanup, then a crazy Iron Mountain hike where she met a lot of the baddies. We talk about her favorite hikes, all the medals she’s earned from her races, and how being ve...

This episode hits close to home. We talk about Herbert’s hiking promises and how much he has been missed on the trails, along with the energy from the first LA Baddies basketball game. With his wedding coming up this week, the nerves are real and he has even been losing weight. To make things even more interesting, Herbert decided to get married on Super Bowl weekend, which has some of the baddies...

The Baddies are officially back for 2026. Cousin James steps up to the plate to share his goals for the new year and what he’s chasing next. Herbert is the same old guy, new chapter is deep in wedding prep and talks about how life, planning, and getting married have him struggling to keep up with hiking. Goals, life updates, and classic Baddies energy to kick off the year.

Halfway through October and things get personal fast. The crew starts off talking about how the month’s slipping by, then somehow ends up debating who smells the worst and what a proper shower routine really looks like. Herbert (HR) drops a surprise update about becoming a cat dad to Rocco, and Enrique closes things out with a line that hits harder than you’d think. It’s the kind of episode that s...

This episode gets real and hilarious. We break down Herbert’s bachelor party adventures and why he’s on a mission to lose weight before his wedding. Don't worry Jonathon is keeping him accountable at the gym. Plus, we uncover a shocking fact: Enrique has never been to Disneyland. Who’s ready to make his dream come true? He promises to buy his own ticket .

We talked about how summer is almost over, how expensive everything feels, and why Depop is the move for running or hiking shoes. We also got into those Amazon return shops that are way too addicting. And of course, Enrique only eats protein but no flavor, just straight calories.

This week we talk all things music—what we bump in the car, at the gym, and during chill nights. But things get wild when Herbert reveals how he “finishes” his chicken fingers (hint: it involves some next-level sauce commitment). We also recap our kickball tournament—good times, good people, and just a little post-game soreness. More Baddies events are coming soon, so stay tuned!

The Baddies’ first-ever coed episode is here, and it was a blast! The girls might’ve been a little louder (sorry, not sorry), while the guys… mostly listened— jk ! We dove into Pilates, Love Island drama, and surprisingly, how many meals you can sneak cottage cheese into. Turns out, loading up on protein isn’t so bad—especially if you’re aiming for that 1:1 body weight-to-protein ratio. Plus, don’...

Can’t believe we’re already halfway through the year. James jumped on this episode and we reflected on the past 6 months—what we’ve done, what we’re proud of, and yeah… we even gave cats a little credit (don’t @ us). Also, the new McDonald’s snack wrap is back and it kinda stole the show. If you haven’t tried it yet, what are you doing?

In this episode, the Baddies dive into the wild side of Strava — the fitness app that somehow became part GPS tracker, part social media soap opera. From low-key stalking to unexpected flirting, this app has seen it all. But don’t get it twisted — it’s also a powerful tool for keeping tabs on your fitness journey. We also take it back to our very first jobs in high school and share some throwback...

This week we ranked our favorite water brands (yes, we take hydration seriously). Baddie #6 aka Nick came through and joined the convo. Jonathon finally biked up Santa Anita to Adams Pack Station—it’s been a year since the road reopened! We also talked about checking in on friends and family affected by the I.C.E. raids. If you’re heading to a protest, call Ronnie—but park a few blocks away!

What if the Baddies all lived together? Chaos, carbs, and questionable grocery choices. In this hilarious episode, we break down what we’d cook for each other, what ends up in our shopping carts, and how some of us are still living on the “young diet” (aka fast food 24/7). As we get older, our bodies beg for veggies—but let’s be real, fries still hit. And don’t miss Ronnie’s infamous grocery list…...

The girls took over the mic and things got  real . In this takeover episode, “The Real Baddies” dive into their favorite fitness routines—Pilates and Barry’s—but don’t worry, they kept it spicy with some  embarrassing  HR tea from the LA Baddies crew. From sweat to scandal, this one’s got it all. Tap in if you're ready for laughs, lunges, and lowkey exposés.

This episode, Herbert shares his foodie adventures from his company trip to Savannah, Georgia—spoiler: he ate well. Jonathon went full beast mode, turning Open Door Trail into a hill repeat challenge with 6 brutal climbs. Enrique’s surviving finals week one late assignment at a time. And if you see Ronnie (aka the unknown baddie), report him to HR—just kidding, come back Ronnie, we miss you.

Ronnie lost 10 pounds—but how? In this episode, we dive into whether consistency at the gym or cleaning up his diet made the real difference. We also talk about why snacks hit different at the top of a mountain (trust us, it’s science). And in a surprising twist, one of our Coachella baddies is missing the festival for the first time in years. You don’t want to miss this one!

Spring is doing its thing—longer days, warmer vibes, and no excuses to stay indoors. We’re talking beach workouts, hikes, cycling routes, and how the great outdoors is your new gym. Oh, and did you catch the LA Marathon? An American man  finally   took first place after 30 years—big deal! But here’s the real twist: Herbert is on a weight loss mission and aiming to hit his goal by June. Want to kno...

In this podcast, we talked about how some of the baddies' birthdays are in March and why it's the best month ever. Also, Ronnie somehow ended up doing cardio at CRSSD Music Festival. If you're feeling  deformable , hit up Enrique—since he's taking Deformable Body (just kidding). Hope everyone is crushing their first quarter of the year! Make sure to get that cardio in and listen to...

In this episode, Ronnie joins us for the first time, and we’re also dropping our first-ever video recording! We dive into a funny yet real conversation about how even the “baddies” aren’t exempt from health issues—whether it’s high cholesterol, eczema, or a round of antibiotics. The takeaway? Health is wealth! We talk about the importance of eating right, getting your bloodwork done, and not being...
