She improved massively in 2023, and we talk about what it took to get to that next level.

Alex is impressive on the competition floor, but perhaps more impressive is her incredible positive and friendly attitude as well as her balanced approach to life and competition.  This was a great conversation, and we have no doubt that you will enjoy it as much as we did. Enjoy! Alex's IG: @alexgazan_ https://www.conquerathlete.com/

On this episode of the podcast, we welcome CrossFit Games Athlete, Alex Gazan. Alex most recently won the North America West Semifinal, securing her return to the CrossFit Games for her second appearance. Not only is Alex an incredible athlete, but she is an absolute sweetheart as well. We had the pleasure of working with her at our most recent Power Monkey Camp in Tennessee, and everyone, campers and coaches agreed...she's awesome. We know you will love listening in on this conversation and getting to know Alex a bit more. We can't wait to cheer for her this summer in Madison! Alexs IG: @alexgazan_ ••••• EPISODE SPONSORED BY: RXSG: https://www.rxsmartgear.com/ Whether you are just starting out in your fitness journey or you are an avid workout enthusiast, a jump rope is one of the most essential pieces of equipment you should have in your workout arsenal and I cannot recommend RX Smart Gear jump ropes highly enough. Not only are they dedicated to constantly improving and challenging the community with their variety of ropes, but they are dedicated to the education when it comes to their ropes and promote proper movement and technique patterns which we love at Power Monkey Fitness. They've recently launched their new Frevo rope, made of a high impact polymer that can withstand a 50# dumbbell impact.

“Unpopular opinion, but I like (the 2023 season programming). I like the twists and the turns. … I like when we get thrown new things.” Alex Gazan, currently ranked 29th in the world, joins host Adrian Conway on the podcast to talk about joining Underdog Athletics, finding balance as a competitive athlete, and her experience at her CrossFit Games debut. Gazan started CrossFit in 2017 at the encouragement of her high-school physical education teacher, who saw her potential. She signed up for her first Open in the Girls 16-17 division in 2018, and by 2022, she had qualified for her first CrossFit Games after finishing fourth at the Granite Games. Gazan placed 24th in her Games debut.In today's episode, the three-time Semifinalist shares her CrossFit beginning and how she came to work with Justin Cotler of Underdogs Athletics. Gazan opens up about the lessons she's learned about herself as an athlete and the sacrifices competitive athletes make, especially during the peak of the season. Gazan, who has always had a competitive spirit, describes her experience competing at the 2022 Granite Games and the Games, and touches on the differences in atmosphere between in-person and online competition.Tune in to hear how Gazan feels about the programming this season, her favorite pastimes, and navigating the demands of the CrossFit season as a wife, athlete, and coach. In the 2023 season, Gazan placed fifth worldwide in the Open and second on the North America West leaderboard in the Individual Quarterfinal. Watch Gazan compete at the North America West Semifinal May 27-29.

We get an opportunity to meet this semifinalist coming out of the Underdogs Camp. This former Gymnast and Diver who experienced some freaky accidents turned to CrossFit and learned quickly that this was something she would be really good at!  She, grounded in her faith, made the decision to move to Las Vegas and join the Underdogs Crew.  Now at the age of 20 the future is bright and she is ready to soak it all in.

We catch up with our dear friend to see what she is doing to be in perhaps the best shape of her life. She is now coaching herself and doing all her cardio and Metcon programming and it seems to be working.  She is thinking about buliding a gym in her back yard.  We get some paw patrol art from Blakely. We also talk competing with Kari at WZA and how her an Alex Gazan have become friends and how Arielle took Alex under her wing in her rookie season of the CrossFit Games.  Plus so much more.

After an amazing Quarterfinals performance, Alex is looking to be a serious contender for a top 10 spot at the 2023 NoBull CrossFit Games. We talk coaching with Justin, we talk mentorship with Kari, and how God has put so many peole in Alex's life to allow her to be successful.  We discuss her attitude about her successes and what that means in the grand scheme of things as well as so much more.

Today Adrian Conway dives into what he thinks about Adrian Bozman's programming so far after 2 weeks of the CrossFit Games Open. What could have been done better? What are we seeing with the leaderboard? He questions if we are seeing the best of Justin Medieros yet or if he is hobbled by an injury after now sitting in 101 place after 2 weeks? Is Mal O'brien the obvious favorite for the overall champ in 2023 at this year CrossFit Games or is it too early to say? With Emma Lawson, Paige Powers, and Alex Gazan all sitting toward the top the next Gen on the female side is repping hard! And the drama surrounding the thruster standard, is it legit? Does it matter? Adrian seems to think it does and that this will not be a mistake likely made in the future.

Kari Pearce, Arielle Loewen and Alex Gazan are teaming up to compete at TYR Wodapalooza in January and they join Wex to talk about their expectations for the coming year as well as what they would like to see for events. In this episode we have a guest appearance by Stella and we discuss how this team came into being. We have a lot of fun talking about their unique journeys and what makes them the competitors they are. They are three of the most competitive athletes you will see on the competition floor but off the floor they are the absolute most humble and nicest women you will ever meet. Hence we came up with the name on the show to represent them at WZA. Be on the lookout for new Wex Appeal Podcast merch coming soon from our good friends at SherpaWerks. Follow them on IG @sherpawerks to know exactly when the new shirts are going to drop. Also mentioned on the show are Brushed By Chan (IG @brushedbychan1) and PhatAsh Bakes (IG @phatashbakes) talking about amazing shoe collars and epic cookies.

We also ask why Vegas, and how do they (Ashley) recruit. Plus a whole lot more with these amazing people.

Alex Gazan is Games bound after punching her ticket at Granite Games. We chat about all the recent changes at Underdogs, Games prep with Ricky, Justin and Kiefer and her hopes for the rest of the season.

We talk to Kiefer about his role with Underdogs and what his next month looks like as he helps get the Underdogs Crew Ready for the CrossFit Games. Kiefer was a walk on Basketball Player at UCONN where he interned in Strength and Condiitioning and made that his career until he found CrossFit and began coaching at Invictus Boston. After bending Justin Cotler's Ear he was asked to join the Vegas team and tried it out for a seaon, Kiefer just signed a new lease so I guess he found a home at Underdogs.

Alex Gazan has been a part of the FAITH RXD Community since 2018. After starting a chapter in Oregon, she moved to Las Vegas where she has been able to train with the best in the world, and after many sacrifices and years of hard work, she's punched her ticket to the 2022 CrossFit Games.  We sit down and discuss her experience qualifying at Granite Games, what it was like to miss her opportunity to go to the Games in 2019 by one spot, and her perspective on training.   The backbone of our ministry is our chapters. Our chapters are volunteer led communities that are in over 80 cities and 9 countries. Every month, they host a free FAITH + FITNESS Workout at a local gym. If you haven't been to an event, you should definitely check one out. You can find the nearest location by going to www.faithrxd.org/chapters   All we do at FAITH RXD is possible because of God, first, second because of our incredible volunteers, and in a major way it is also because of our donors.
