    A first for the pod, we had multiple guests at once and it was awesome. Joan, Nimisha, and Stacia are regulars in the noon class and are all very driven and successful both in and out of the gym. They discuss how and why they started CrossFit, how it's helped them in their lives, why they plan to keep doing it for a long time, what their goals are going forward and much more!

    Everyone will get something out of this episode, so give it a listen!

  • Coach Erik on how doing CrossFit helped him get jacked, build confidence, and much more!
    Oct 25 2025

    This is another episode from the archives. Coach Brendan sat down with Erik back in 2023 to discuss how he got started with CrossFit and hear how it's impacted his life since joining.

    Erik had just started coaching when we recorded this so we discussed what coaching has been like for him as well.

    There are a lot of good topics in here, so sit back and relax as you learn more about Coach Erik!

  • Cesar Mata - On finding CrossFit, avoiding injuries, and making progress both in and out of the gym as a result.
    Oct 8 2025

    In this episode, Coach Brendan sits down with member Cesar Mata, who is an avid mountain biker and now a dedicated CrossFitter. We discuss his prior experience in training at a regular gym (he did a lot of "bro sets" as he calls them), what appealed to him about CrossFit, what his perception of CrossFit was before starting vs. now (hint: it's not as scary as you might think and not nearly as dangerous as people make it out to be), as well as how it's helped him during his races on the trails, and much, much more.

    Enjoy!
