In this episode of “Run a Profitable Gym,” Two-Brain founder Chris Cooper explains why gym owners need to stop consuming clickbait speculation about CrossFit's sale and start working on what actually matters: their businesses.Stop paying the “distraction tax”—hours spent watching videos, scrolling comments and worrying about things you can't control cost you opportunities to generate revenue, build client relationships and preserve decision-making capacity.To give you a concrete plan to improve your business in a time of uncertainty, Coop walks through a five-step process you can use to objectively measure the value of any gym affiliation using real numbers:✅ Check local search volume for the brand✅ Track where your leads come from✅ Calculate marketing ROI with a simple formula✅ Measure revenue from affiliation programs✅ Assess retention value among engaged membersIf you decide to rebrand, Chris also covers the true costs, from domain changes and social media updates to new signage and content, so you understand what's actually required.The key takeaway: CrossFit LLC (or any brand affiliation) has never had less impact on your success than right now. Your coaching, client relationships and business systems actually drive results.Watch this episode to get the decision-making framework that will help you make smart, data-driven choices about affiliation.

Think beating big-box brands means slashing prices? Think again. We sit down with Sri Kaza, a seasoned strategist turned small business champion, to unpack how owners can outmaneuver giants with positioning, trust, and community—no coupons required. Sri's journey from consulting and executive roles to leading a small-business lender gave him a front-row seat to what really drives resilience: relationships, not gimmicks.We dig into why discounting attracts ghosts instead of fans, and how to build a customer base that shows up when it counts. From CrossFit-style community to a brilliantly curated convenience store beside a Tesla charger, we break down memorable examples of differentiation in action. You'll hear how to communicate value, price with confidence, and design experiences people would fight to keep—so you stop racing to the bottom and start owning your niche.The conversation also gets practical about navigating shocks. COVID and recent tariffs revealed a speed advantage small businesses rarely use: you can talk to customers today, pre-wire changes, test substitutions, and adapt without committees. We explore how to choose your customer, say no with conviction, and avoid self-sabotage on social media. Sri's philosophy in Unconvention ties it together: align your business with your personal purpose, and profitability and fulfillment become reinforcing, not competing.If you're a founder, owner, or side-hustler craving a real playbook, this is a clear, grounded roadmap. Subscribe, share with a fellow builder, and leave a review with one shift you'll make this week.

Empezar a hacer ejercicio no es algo difícil. Lo difícil realmente es seguir haciéndolo cuando ese deseo inicial de empezar se acaba. Y esto es difícil porque nadie te ha explicado las 3 reglas del ejercicio físico. https://youtu.be/4gTq-f0T4CU Cuando entiendes estas 3 reglas, es mucho más fácil comenzar a hacer ejercicio físico y mantener ese ejercicio físico a lo largo del tiempo, durante toda tu vida. Así que sin más, empiezo con la primera: El ejercicio físico que hagas, tiene que ser efectivo Por supuesto podríamos hablar de que el ejercicio tiene que ser divertido o entretenido, pero si realmente te divirtiera no tendrías problema para seguir haciéndolo, con lo que si no te gusta mucho el ejercicio en general, aquel ejercicio que hagas tienes que buscar que sea lo más efectivo posible porque tienes que buscar el retorno más alto del ejercicio. O dicho de otra forma, si no te gusta y tampoco es efectivo ¿Para qué lo haces? Por eso el entrenamiento de fuerza es el tipo de ejercicio número 1 que puedes hacer, no porque sea el más divertido, sino porque es el más efectivo. Sirve para fortalecer tus músculos, tus huesos, regular la glucosa en sangre, la presión sanguínea y te ayuda a alargar la vida útil de tu cuerpo. Y es verdad que cualquier forma de ejercicio físico es buena para estas cosas, pero el entrenamiento de fuerza está demostrado que es más efectivo que el resto de actividades, así que si vas a escoger una forma de ejercicio, escoge la más efectiva, es decir, entrenamiento de fuerza. Lo que pasa que el entrenamiento de fuerza es muy genérico, y hay muchas cosas mal llamadas entrenamiento de fuerza, porque técnicamente para cualquier movimiento que hagas necesitas fuerza. Para levantarte del sofá necesitas fuerza, para pedalear en una bici necesitas fuerza. Por eso técnicamente cualquier cosa puede ser entrenamiento de fuerza (por eso a mi me gusta más llamarlo entrenamiento de musculación), pero en cualquier caso, aquí entra la segunda regla. Si 2 tipos de ejercicio, son igualmente efectivos, quédate con el más seguro Probablemente, aunque el Crossfit lo intenten camuflar como entrenamiento de fuerza, habiendo una opción igualmente efectiva pero más segura hace que el Crossfit no sea ya una opción. Lo mismo con cualquier otra cosa, incluso a nivel de ejercicios. Mucha gente defiende ejercicios con pesos libres, pero si son igualmente efectivos y una máquina es más segura ¿Por qué no usar la máquina? Así que esta es una pregunta que merece mucho la pena hacerse: Si aquello que estoy haciendo o me planteo hacer es efectivo ¿Hay una opción más segura para hacerlo? Porque si la hay, hacer la opción menos segura no tiene sentido porque no solamente buscamos eficacia, buscamos seguridad porque una lesión es lo peor que te puede pasar a nivel deportivo, mucho más si esa lesión es evitable. Porque es una sensación horrible querer hacer ejercicio y no poder y aunque no se puede garantizar que siempre podrás hacer ejercicio, porque mañana puedes tener un accidente de tráfico o te puedes resbalar por las escaleras o cualquier cosa, las lesiones haciendo ejercicio físico que puedes evitar, evítalas. Y evitando el riesgo, evitas la lesión, así que a igualdad de eficacia, incluso similarmente eficaces, escoge la forma de ejercicio más segura. Escoge lo más eficiente Por último, si diferentes tipos de ejercicios son igualmente efectivos y seguros, puesto que tu tiempo es el activo más valioso que tienes, ve a por la forma más eficiente que más tiempo te ahorre. Por eso de nuevo el entrenamiento de fuerza o entrenamiento de musculación es el número 1, porque solo necesitas un par de veces por semana, puede que 3, con 40-50 minutos y no necesitas más. No necesitas correr una maratón, no necesitas estar 8 horas entrenando, solo necesitas estimular tu musculatura e irte a tu casa a descansar. Y esto lo puede hacer todo el mundo, porque cuando haces ejercicio de manera eficaz, de manera segura, y de manera breve o en un tiempo razonable, es algo que todo el mundo puede hacer y todo el mundo puede mantener. Así que para comenzar a hacer ejercicio físico sigue estas 3 reglas y será imposible que abandones, porque nadie abandona algo que le da resultados, que no merma ni destruye su cuerpo y que además no le supone apenas tiempo. Así es como están diseñados los entrenamientos de mi academia: Efectivos, seguros y con solo 3 sesiones por semana los tienes hechos y no tienes que preocuparte de nada más. Tienes todo programado para que sepas qué es lo que tienes que hacer en cada momento y si quieres puedes probar la academia y ver si realmente cumple tus expectativas o no. Si te gusta te quedas, si no te gusta te vas, es así de sencillo. Pero te inscribas o no, si en algún momento decides comenzar a hacer ejercicio físico o evaluar el ejercicio físico que estás haciendo ahora, usa estas 3 reglas y podrás comprobar si estás haciendo realmente lo mejor para tu cuerpo o si solo lo estás destruyendo. Cuida de tu cuerpo y tu cuerpo cuidará de ti. Origen

In this episode of the Brief Talk Podcast, Tim sits down with Sam, the founder of SB Swimwear, to talk about his lifelong love of Speedos, how CrossFit helped spark a viral moment, and what led him to launch his own swimwear brand—designed and manufactured in Italy. Born and raised in Italy, Sam grew up wearing Speedos as the norm, from childhood beach days to swimming workouts. That early comfort carried into adulthood, CrossFit training, and eventually competition—where a Speedo-only workout in Miami went viral and helped grow his Instagram following. From there, the idea for SB Swimwear was born. Sam shares how he worked closely with an Italian manufacturer in Tuscany, leaned on family support, and refined a classic swim brief cut designed to work just as well for swimming laps as it does for beach lounging. The result is a clean, confident design launched first in red, followed by white and blue—colors that nod to both his Italian roots and American identity. The conversation also dives into: • Why Speedos are more functional than board shorts • How body confidence develops over time • Wearing swim briefs beyond the beach (including competitions and hiking) • Customer reactions from around the world • The slow cultural shift toward swim briefs making a comeback • Advice for guys who want to wear Speedos but feel hesitant Sam also opens up about what success looks like for him—not just sales, but seeing customers feel more confident in their own skin. If you've ever thought about wearing a swim brief, designing your own gear, or challenging outdated ideas around masculinity and swimwear, this episode is for you.

It's about getting there with your relationship intact.

The three factors that get deprioritized most often - mindset, sleep, and connection - are the ones that quietly determine everything else.In Part 2 of our Year in Review, we tackle why winning your morning actually starts the night before, how to build emotional resilience by returning to center faster, and why deepening friendships as an adult requires the same intentionality you'd give to training.We explore what it means to make health your organizing principle in a culture where the default path leads to dysfunction, and why 70-80% of people now live with at least one chronic disease.You'll learn the daily practices that keep us grounded - from check-in questions to Sunday brain dumps - and why connection through service strengthens relationships more than grand gestures ever could. Being healthy today isn't about optimization - it's about swimming against the current just enough to not drift downstream.
Presenting Sponsor Thirdzy! https://thirdzy.com/JAZZYPromotion Code for 15% off: JAZZYEvery day we take a break from the busy work day to catch our breath by hanging out with friends and talking about the world of Sports, Entertainment and Specifically CrossFit. Today we dive into what we have been learning about the World Fitness Project over the last 24 hours. What a wild NFL Season going into the playoffs and what it takes to podcast.
-In this episode multiple topics are covered in a “quick fire” format.-Does working out in public bother you? -Favorite finisher or accessory?-Thumbs wrapped around the pull-up bar…yes or no?-Guilty food pleasure that is total trash.-A “go-to” warm-up when you don't want to think too hard.-Can you be “Fit & Fluffy”?-Strategy for “Death By” workouts.-What is a “good base of strict pull-ups”?-Pat & Adrian discuss these topics.
TOPICS • Holiday Not-So-Live catch-up with the crew • Backyard studio build progress and spending decisions • Home gym equipment tradeoffs and personal setups • World Fitness Project "Project One" workout breakdown • Online qualifiers, judging, and cheating in hybrid races • CrossFit "fittest on earth" tagline and fitness format comparisons • HYROX's pending points-based Elite 15 system • Wins vs depth of field vs Majors weighting debates • Athlete burnout and how much racing is too much • Fitness boom, content saturation, and whether hybrid races peak SUMMARY We close out the year with a wide-ranging Not-So-Live. I update where the backyard studio build stands and how I'm thinking about spending more on HVAC, plumbing, and peace of mind. We talk gear, home gyms, and why people wrestle with equipment decisions. Dave walks through the World Fitness Project "Project One" workout and why it felt heavy on running and lighter on strength. That leads into a broader chat about online qualifiers, community policing versus rules, and why judging online is almost harder than in person. We also debate CrossFit's "fittest on earth" slogan and how different formats test fitness differently. Then we get into HYROX: whether we're at peak HYROX, what the new points-based Elite 15 system might mean, how wins might stack against field depth and Majors, and whether requiring multiple races could push athlete burnout.

In this episode of Shift with CJ, I step into the guest seat on Dr. Jameel Rizwana Hussain's podcast Let the Soul Speak. Riz is a spiritual and manifestation coach, and together we explore what it really means to “upgrade your human”—going beyond biohacking tools and into purpose, spirituality, and inner fulfillment.We talk about how my journey into health didn't start with supplements or saunas. It started with pain. Growing up obese and being bullied pushed me toward martial arts, then fitness, CrossFit, and physical mastery. From the outside, things looked great—but inside, I felt hollow. That gap led me to search for happiness, peace, and meaning beyond the body.Biohacking gave me the science and language to understand longevity, energy, and performance. But over time, I realized something important: spirituality begins where biohacking ends. Biohacking can optimize sleep, HRV, and physical health, but it can't fill what I call the “eternal hole in the heart.” That's where spirituality comes in.RZ and I revisit a powerful idea we shared years ago: we are not human beings having a spiritual experience—we are spiritual beings having a human experience. This perspective reframes how we approach health, success, and suffering.We also dive into the meaning of my name, Chiranjivi, which in Sanskrit means “eternal” or “one who works toward longevity and well-being.” Once something I resisted, it later felt like a calling. I share my most spiritually transformative experience at the Maha Kumbh Mela and during Mahashivratri in Varanasi, where I experienced deep inner calm, heightened intuition, and a profound connection to Krishna.A key theme throughout the episode is moderation. Extremes—even in wellness—eventually backfire. The middle way, as taught by the Buddha, is what sustains health, clarity, and peace.Looking forward, my mission is to simplify biohacking, make optimization accessible to more people, and personally go much deeper into the spiritual path.Key TakeawaysBiohacking optimizes the body, spirituality fulfills the soul.Physical fitness alone doesn't guarantee inner peace.We are spiritual beings having a human experience.Moderation is the foundation of long-term wellness.Inner anchoring leads to clarity, joy, and fulfillment.5 Things You Can Start Doing TodaySpend time on inner work and find your spiritual anchor.Practice moderation in food, training, work, and habits.Wake up earlier and move your body daily.Connect with people and spend time outdoors.Get sunlight, ground yourself, and prioritize quality sleep.

Fernando Martín, en '¡Buenos días, Javi y Mar!', comenta la historia de un conductor de tren japonés que pide perdón y ofrece la devolución del billete por un retraso de 35 segundos, contrastando con la situación en España. Martín aprovecha para pedir perdón: por insistir con el CrossFit, por inventarse los cuentos nocturnos a sus hijas y desear que no se coman su comida en restaurantes para que él pueda hacerlo. También se disculpa con su mujer Ana por dejar un poco de leche en el cartón y por cederle la primera croqueta mientras él se come las últimas cinco. Más adelante, se presenta la historia real de Hiroo Onoda, un soldado japonés que permanece escondido en la selva 30 años sin ser notificado del fin de la guerra. A continuación, se abordan situaciones cómicas con niños y móviles: un hijo graba a su padre en el baño, otro inventa una canción peculiar; una niña borra fotos a su madre, otra atribuye un selfie de su nariz a una IA.

After 20+ years of focusing on health, you might think we'd have it all figured out. But the truth is, the best gains still come from small, strategic tweaks - not dramatic overhauls.In Part 1 of our annual Five Factors Year in Review, we explore why structured intensity beats "just go hard" training, how mobility might be the unlocking factor you're ignoring, and why the simple nutrition habit of 30 grams of protein before 9am can transform your consistency.You'll discover why the Five Factors aren't independent pillars but ingredients in a stew - when you adjust one, you have to rebalance everything else. We break down the essential 20% across all five factors that deliver 80% of the results, and why going deeper into any single area actually works against you. This is about continuous refinement, not arriving at perfection.

Join Rich Froning as he sits down with former Navy SEAL Ian Schinelli for a deep dive into preparation, pressure, and what it takes to stay ready when it matters. From marathon and swim events for the SEAL Foundation to the realities of SEAL training, Ian breaks down how running, swimming, and thousands of reps built the foundation he needed long before stepping into BUD/S. He explains the shock of Hell Week, the mindset that keeps you from quitting, and why controlling your head is more important than controlling your body.The conversation turns to shared suffering—how CrossFit, hunting, and even long mountain days create the same kind of bond Ian found in the military. He and Rich talk about balancing training with real life, why community makes hard things possible, and what happens to your calm under pressure when the chaos hits.
