About this listen

In this episode of Actually Doing Things, Nikki sits down with Dr. Scott Fry—a ten-year Destination CrossFit member, physician, and triathlete—for a conversation that’s equal parts grit, humor, and heart.

Together they unpack:

  • 🏋️ The early days of the “shoebox” gym and what keeps people showing up a decade later
  • 💪 The kind of camaraderie that only comes from shared suffering (and 5:30 a.m. workouts)
  • ❤️ Scott’s powerful health journey through illness, surgery, and recovery—and why community was the lifeline
  • 🧠 How fitness, aging, and mental health intersect (“Father Time is undefeated, but he’s influencable”)
  • 🤝 Why you should stop looking for an accountability partner and be one
  • 🦃 Family, legacy, and what it means to stay active together through every season

This is an honest talk about doing the hard things, finding connection, and redefining what strength looks like at every age.


🎧 Tune in, laugh a little, and remember—getting out of bed counts as a rep.
