We've been involved in the fitness and health industry for over 15 years. We've seen a lot of success stories along the way, but we've also seen some stories that were unsuccessful. When we look back across those tales, there's a common trend that merges amongst those that didn't see success. We hope this helps you take a step in the right direction. ----- Book your FREE No Sweat Intro here: crossfitfunction.com/free-intro  Join our FREE Facebook group where we post a ton of content, free guides, e-books, and tips: getfityorkton.com Follow our socials: Facebook Instagram

(It's another soap box episode with Coach T...) Your environment, the people you surround yourself with, the lifestyle you live because of those around you, the attitude that you carry on a day-to-day basis ... it all plays into the success you've laid out for yourself. Believe it or not, your inner circle could be the reason why you can't break through the plateau you've been experiencing. The environment that you've put yourself in could be the thing that keeps the ball attached by a chain around your ankle. And most importantly, that terrible attitude you won't bother to shake is the #1 reason you can't get ahead. I promise.

Good news: We'll tell you why it's important, how it's probably lower than you think, and how you can change it.

What.A.Fun.Episode.Today! Seriously. It's super fun. This is one topic that I am super excited to chat about, something I am really passionate about, and something I am incredibly grateful that I have a team in place who can help bring this to life. For 10 years, we didn't pay much attention to why people came to CFF or what they were trying to do. It was a huge disservice, but a part of our growth we can't change. In the last 3-4 years, it became incredibly important and meaningful to us that we wanted better ways to help our clients achieve results. We knew that this extended far past just within the walls of the gym, and we knew that it was going to take some manpower to bring it to life. In this episode, we're going to take a peak behind the curtains, and show you what all goes on and how we keep track of the progress our clients are making. It's something that most people cannot conceptualize, and even this episode is just a small tip of the iceberg. It brings me great pride to be able to share this with all of our listeners. Truly. So please enjoy! ---- Book your FREE No Sweat Intro here: crossfitfunction.com/free-intro  Join our FREE Facebook group where we post a ton of content, free guides, e-books, and tips: getfityorkton.com Follow our socials: FB: Facebook.com/CrossFitFunction Twitter: @GotFunction Instagram: @cffunction

Most people that we talk to come in with a story about wanting to improve their lives for the sake of their kids. They want to be around for as long as they can for their kids, and enjoy their life as much as possible with them. Not very often do we get to speak to someone who is preparing to bring a grandchild on board, and is faced with some necessary lifestyle changes in front of them. This was Karen Marshall's story when she first started at CrossFit FUNCTION. What Karen didn't know is that all the small changes she would make in her life would lead to much more than just being able to carry her grandchild around. Today, Karen is going to tell you her story about how she began, how "elementary" her approach might have seemed, and how it became so much more than that. Her consistent time in the gym and efforts with her food translated into LIFE CHANGING health benefits that would add years to her life. And considering that she started this whole journey to be there for her grandchild in her best form possible? That would become mighty important. Turn your volume up, grab your doggo, and let's head out on a walk together as Karen tells her story! ---- Book your FREE No Sweat Intro here: crossfitfunction.com/free-intro  Join our FREE Facebook group where we post a ton of content, free guides, e-books, and tips: getfityorkton.com Follow our socials: FB: Facebook.com/CrossFitFunction Twitter: @GotFunction Instagram: @cffunction

This is such an important topic to talk about because we all have experienced it at some point in our health and fitness journey. Picture this: You stepped out into the super uncomfortable. You joined a gym, you started a nutrition program, and you created some really great results that have awarded you all kinds of freedoms in your life. You can play with the kids with ease, you can hike trails you never thought of attempting before, and you don't get the wind sucked out of you walking up the stairs at work anymore. It makes you incredibly excited, and you want the same type of change for those around you that you love and care for. Except, they don't see it from the same light as you do. They don't care about their own health and fitness the way you do. They have a laundry list of reasons why they can't get started, and you're at your wit's end on how to continue trying to help them. After spending 15 years in the fitness industry, I've gathered a few key ways you can help lead these people down the right path to help them create change. Part of it is understanding where they are in their own journey (and you in yours!), and how you can meet them where they are at.

That dreaded 50th birthday is approaching. It's blatantly blasted in your face every single day, about how awful you feel on a day to day basis. You're tired. You're sore. You're out of breath. Making it up the stairs that day feels like Mount Everest, and you're not sure how much longer you can do this. And as that 50th birthday gets closer and closer, what if you made the decision to invest in yourself, instead of a mid-life crisis that takes you to the beach, or buys a fancy car? This is Cheryl's story, and I'm so proud to introduce you to her today. Cheryl is a recently new member to CFF, but her success doesn't feel that way. In today's episode, Cheryl is going to walk you through some of the barriers she experienced and why it took her so long to take control of her health, and what has changed for her since she's started on her fitness journey only a few short months ago.

Many people think that we get weaker as we get older. And it's true that we'll all experience some physical decline as we age. But it's a fact that strength can be improved at any age, and older adults who train regularly can become incredibly strong. With continued training, they can hold much of that strength very late in life. Think of it like this: If you don't use it, you'll lose it. And you certainly won't improve it. ---- Book your FREE No Sweat Intro here: crossfitfunction.com/free-intro Join our FREE Facebook group where we post a ton of content, free guides, e-books, and tips: https://www.facebook.com/groups/fitnessnutritioninyorkton Follow our socials: FB: Facebook.com/CrossFitFunction Twitter: @GotFunction Instagram: @cffunction

We've all heard this sage advice: “Don't ever shop for groceries on an empty stomach.” It's doubly true if you're trying to cut costs in the face of inflation. Plan-free grocery shopping can lead to mindless or even rushed, frantic purchases that drive up costs and don't align with your health and fitness goals. I'm sure you've been there: Your fridge is empty and you're pressed for time, so you rush to the closest store and just start tossing items in the cart. You don't look for items on sale, you don't check prices at other stores, and you don't pay close attention to quantities. You definitely grab a few things you hadn't planned to buy from prominent displays. The results: You spend more than you want to. You leave with high-calorie “convenient” items you don't actually need. Your “anything goes” choices aren't matched to your fitness goals. You buy too much food. This will drive up your costs if it spoils before you eat it or it will derail your fitness plan if you overeat to avoid waste. Perhaps better advice would be this: “Don't grocery shop without a plan.” Let's dig in! ---- Book your FREE No Sweat Intro here: crossfitfunction.com/free-intro Join our FREE Facebook group where we post a ton of content, free guides, e-books, and tips: https://www.facebook.com/groups/fitnessnutritioninyorkton Follow our socials: FB: Facebook.com/CrossFitFunction Twitter: @GotFunction Instagram: @cffunction

Our Mission at CrossFit FUNCTION is to impact 5000 lives in Yorkton and surrounding community. We use this Mission to drive every decision we make behind the scenes, every workout that gets programmed by our Coaches, and every conversation and interaction we have on a daily basis in and outside of our black and yellow walls. But why did we pick 5000 lives, and how will we make that happen? Coach T talks about the influence we drive to have on our members, so they can create impact and influence on those within their own lives. If we can get more people moving more and eating a little better, the chances of life-changing habits to form becomes that much greater. If we can help people start living healthier and happier lives, they increase their chances at increasing the longevity of their lives and the vitality by which they live. At the end of the day, we want to help people get healthy and live longer. It starts with our members that we work with and talk to everyday, but it doesn't end at them, and we recognize that. ---- Join our FREE Facebook group where we post a ton of content, free guides, e-books, and tips: https://www.facebook.com/groups/fitnessnutritioninyorkton Follow our socials: FB: Facebook.com/CrossFitFunction Twitter: @GotFunction Instagram: @cffunction

In today's episode, we'll talk about what exactly Commitment Club is, how you achieve it, and how it has evolved over the last 2.5 years.

We're talking about the misconception that clients often have about this missing piece of “golden knowledge,” or the secret they think they don't know on why they can't be successful in losing weight or hitting their goals. Truth bomb: It's not the knowledge that's the problem. It's your inaction. And we're going to tell you why.

In today's episode, we're diving a little deeper into what goes on behind the scenes when you are a Coach at CrossFit FUNCTION! When you're an athlete, you might think that the Coach is just there to call some reps, teach you some basic techniques, and yell “3-2-1.. Go!” But that's definitely not the case. Today you'll find out about our Coach Development Sessions, some of the continued education our Coaches put into their craft, and all of the different layers they practice and get reps at as they're advancing through their Coach journey with us. It's not a road that's easy, that's for sure – but those that are a part of it, are truly invested in our client's success, and the success of our team.

Conducting yourself with a certain level of respect for the coaches, your classmates, and the facility will help you get the best experience possible when you first become a member. We'll cover things like why arriving on time for your class is vitally important, and what appropriate things you can do as a veteran member to enhance a new member's experience. The chalk bucket is a touchy subject, so we get into some things that make our Coaches tick, but also ways that we can change those stigmas moving forward.

Today we're talking about the ever-so-elusive question - “How much did you lift?” You see the workout go up the night before, and right away, you're thinking about how your buddy is going to use x weight and you want to use the same so you can try and beat them. Or you meet up with your buddy later in the day after you know they've done the workout already and you ask them, “How much did you lift?” so that you can archive that and build your workout later in the night when it's your turn to go. We're going to break down this question and all of the behavioral reasons it comes up, as well as talk about what it means to become a “mature” athlete. We also dig into the ways this affects those around you, when it's not something you necessarily consider when you first ask your buddy this question. It's a great conversation topic on today's episode, and we really challenge you to stop and self-reflect on where you might fall on this spectrum. We challenge you to change your wording and help someone around you face the same growth in their own journey. We cover all types of mindset behaviors in our FREE Facebook group, click here to join if you're not in it already (https://www.facebook.com/groups/fitnessnutritioninyorkton – link this under “here” in the previous sentence if you can).

In today's episode, we're talking about the different roles your Coach plays in your journey, right from the beginning, and all along as you go. Our Coaches serve as a teacher when you first join to show you the direction that you need to go to achieve your goals. They'll act as a guide to continue to keep you on track and directed down that path as distractions come up and want to pull you in different directions. And as you get deeper into your journey, your Coach will help filter you through all the noise and keep you always pointed forward as your goals continue to change. This is a great episode about the value of having that Coach behind you, in your corner. Our clients who work 1-on-1 with a Coach have a higher success rate when it comes to achieving their goals, and we dive into why that is. We hope you enjoy this episode, and we'd love to hear all the experiences you have had at different points with your Coach!

In today's episode, we're dissecting some of the pieces that we work on with our 9 Week Level Up Transformation Program. One of the things we start with is mapping out our client's Perfect Day. We then tailor their routines to give as much structure in that direction of their Perfect Day. Within that structure, we map out their fitness and nutrition routines, and all the supporting habits that will help them be successful along the way. On a day-to-day basis, we want our clients to start each day with their Big 3 Non-Negotiables. In this episode, we'll tell you all about what they are, what they mean, and why this is a step that we take in getting our day organized and ultimately getting us closer to our goals and towards the type of person we want to become. Our listener questions this week have to do with this, and we want to hear what you've got mapped out for your Big 3 Non-Negotiables! Send them our way!

Sometimes when we embark on a new fitness journey, we don't anticipate the other changes that we are going to experience along the way. We have watched many clients come through our doors and transform into entirely different people through their fitness and wellness journeys. It's been an incredible thing to witness, and also is one of our favorite parts of the job. On today's episode, this conversation was spurred on by a specific transformational revelation one of our 9 Week Level Up clients experienced. This is a common thing we see with many of our clients. Major life transformations are happening because you yourself are having a transformational moment through it all. This often means things like job promotions, solving relationship problems, taking big risks, etc happen because you gain a ton of confidence through these uncomfortable situations you are routinely putting yourself in. We'll explore what some of these things mean, and why they're happening. We also are searching for our listeners to share their experiences with us as well! Enjoy this episode – We definitely did, as this is such an exciting topic to chat about.

In today's episode, we're covering some controversial topics surrounding what it means to be healthy and fit. From an appearance perspective, from a physical ability perspective - you name it. So often our society will look at a naturally thin and lean person and deem them as “healthy,” but quite often when you have the objective measurements of what they're composed of, or you watch them perform daily activities, this is actually not the case. We'll challenge your thinking on today's episode, so buckle in. Share your experiences with us after you have a listen, and let us know how you grade yourself as well!

Today's episode is a hot topic - SLEEP! This is a common problem that we see in our clients - not enough sleep, can't fall asleep, can't sleep deeply enough - you name it. Sleep is the topic, and we're here to provide some tips and tricks to help you get to sleep sooner, and stay asleep longer. We'll dive into the science behind why sleep is so important - all the hormones it regulates, and why the regulation of those hormones is essential to our health, performance, recovery, mood, .. all kinds of reason. We'll also touch on routine changes you can make, and things you can do in the hours leading up to your bedtime that you can start to work on and improve your sleep. Remember, changes in your sleep routines are very hard to incorporate, and require commitment and reps to help your body adjust to what it is you are asking of it. Have patience with yourself, but don't give up. A better sleep IS possible, and IS within your control. Listener questions this week - Let us know if you have problems sleeping or not. If so -- do you fall under the, “I've tried everything and nothing works!” mentality, and; If not -- what do you do that has set you up for success when it comes to your sleep?
