Previously Head of RevOps at Boast.AI, where he helped scale the company past $20M ARR, Anthony now advises and enables dozens of founders and revenue leaders to engineer growth without burning headcount.

Every day we take a breath from the busy work day to hang out with friends and talk about the world of Sports, Entertainment and specifically CrossFit. Today we talk about adult conversations,  Clearing up my statement in Athena's Journal Post.  And we will talk about what all y'all have and whatever else may come up.

"The L-Sit - This exercise is remarkable from several perspectives. It is isometric, functional, and highly effective. Relatively unknown outside of the gymnastics community this exercise may be the most effective abdominal exercise we know of!" - Greg Glassman

-A VNR listener asked the following question, “I've been thinking about the pathway to become a consistent CrossFitter. Are there any lessons that we can learn from the people who stick with it?”-Pat & Boz answer this question.

Big Box Gyms: Yay or Nay? And how do they compare to working out with a personal trainer? Amy Hudson and Dr. James Fisher look at big box gyms and the benefits of working with a personal trainer. You'll hear about everything from motivation and habit-building to fitness results, and will walk away with clarity on which option to go for to make the most out of your time and exercising efforts. Dr. James Fisher kicks things off by sharing a frightening stat: only about 10% of the population engages in regular strength training. What's interesting is the fact that only about one-third of people attend big box gyms, meaning that about two-thirds of people don't actually even attend once per week… Dr. Fisher and some of his colleagues have done some research and have identified a lack of motivation, not being supervised and advised by a personal trainer, and not seeing progress from your workouts, as key factors that lead to that phenomenon. Did you know that 50% of new gym members will stop their membership within the first six months because of non-attendance? True, big box gyms provide you with the space and equipment you need… but if you aren't already engaged or lack a certain level of understanding and commitment, you won't attend regularly. To some degree, gyms are reliant upon a degree of non-attendance – if all of their members showed up at the same time, they would have to turn some people away because of maximum occupancy. Dr. Fisher touches upon a couple of big social elements that play a crucial role in the big box gym context. Ask yourself this: “When thinking about the gym, do I go there for the health benefits of exercising or for the social element in that environment?” Amy Hudson talks about the lack of time aspect that's often part of the equation for many people who are thinking about strength training. Dr. Fisher and Amy discuss how a model like the Exercise Coach Studio's one differs from big box gyms and helps people succeed. Studies on exercising motivation show that, unlike other groups like people who focus on CrossFit, people engaged in supervised strength training reported higher motivation for things such as ill health avoidance and health-related benefits as key reasons for exercising. Amy lists one of the key motivators for having a personal trainer: it collapses the timeline for you to get where you want to get to. As she points out, getting people to that place of seeing results faster will lead to them being motivated and wanting to continue with exercising regularly. Amy shares a question they often ask their Exercise Coach: “If you and I were sitting here a year from today, what things would have to happen for you to feel very satisfied with your progress?” Amy and Dr. Fisher go into studies in which participants were paid to go to the gym… but were still unsuccessful with exercising regularly. A good reminder from Amy: motivation is hard to keep, and it's important to stay honest about that.     Mentioned in This Episode: The Exercise Coach - Get 2 Free Sessions!

What happens when your CrossFit gym goes dark? Coaches David Syvertsen @davesy85 and Sam Rhee @bergencosmetic dive deep into their CrossFit Bison's unique Dark Week experience – where workouts remain completely hidden until athletes walk through the door.They explores the fascinating psychological impact of removing workout previews. While some members struggle with the lack of control, others discover unexpected freedom when forced to trust their fitness completely. As Coach David explains, "If your true goal is to become a fitter version of yourself, you're going to have to do things you don't want to do."The hosts share candid insights about programming challenges, athlete reactions, and even expose how some members secretly try to peek at workouts ahead of time (spoiler: it ruins the experience like finding Christmas presents early). They tackle practical concerns like equipment preparation while highlighting profound benefits including breaking the subconscious bias of cherry-picking workouts and building mental resilience.Perhaps most compelling is how Dark Week reveals character. Those who embrace the unknown with humility often benefit most, while those who resist relinquishing control miss valuable growth opportunities. The discussion ultimately circles back to CrossFit's foundational principle of preparing for the "unknown and unknowable" – something many athletes gradually drift away from as they settle into comfortable routines.Whether you're a CrossFit veteran seeking to recapture early excitement or a fitness enthusiast curious about mental training aspects, this episode offers thoughtful perspectives on breaking patterns and embracing discomfort. Listen now to challenge your own approach to fitness and discover why sometimes not knowing might be exactly what you need.@crossfitbison @crossfittraining @crossfit @crossfitgames #crossfit #sports #exercise #health #movement #crossfitcoach #agoq #clean #fitness #ItAllStartsHere #CrossFitOpen #CrossFit #CrossFitCommunity @CrossFitAffiliates #supportyourlocalbox #crossfitaffiliate #personalizedfitness

Every Day we take a break from our busy work day to catch our breath and hang out to talk about the world of Sports, Entertainment and more specifically CrossFit. Today we talk about Cory's ability to read and how will that affect the way he does the qualifiers.  Hiller announces a new competition where you can take your shot at an NFL Quarterback and beat him at a workout.  Plus the Governor Vetoes the Return to Office line item in the Ohio Budget.

“You can chase the podium your whole life, but sooner or later, you're called to stand for something bigger than a medal.”In this powerful and raw conversation, Bryce sits down with Kari Pearce — six-time CrossFit Games athlete, once America's Fittest Woman, and now stepping into her greatest reinvention yet: building life beyond the competition floor, embracing pregnancy, and rewriting what strength really means.This isn't just about lifting more weight. It's about laying down the armor, trading the roar of the crowd for the quiet lessons of motherhood, and realizing that sometimes the bravest thing you can do is become a beginner all over again.Kari opens up like never before — sharing stories of mental grit, identity shifts, the discipline that made her a household name in CrossFit, and the surrender that's shaping her next chapter. From the power of purpose-driven business to her non-negotiables as she prepares to become a mom, this episode is a masterclass in evolving when the lights fade and real life begins.⸻

Chase and Bill sit down and RE-analyze the programming of the Mayhem Classic using their new scoring system they developed for the Games season.

7/2/2025 What an awesome debate we had today on the topic of: Do you think someone would cancel their phone, and phone plan or their gym membership first...for us it was a pretty simple debate! Hope you enjoy it as well. July 4th 8am and 9:30am only! Artist - Forrest FrankSong - Happy

Take a front-row seat as our gym undergoes a transformative programming revolution! After 11 years, I'm finally stepping into the programming role alongside my brother to craft workouts that better serve our community's evolving needs.The cornerstone of our new approach? I'm personally testing every workout two weeks before you see it, ensuring each session delivers the right stimulus and flows properly within the weekly training cycle. This hands-on involvement means when you see my score posted, that workout has received my seal of approval for effectiveness and enjoyment.We're redefining our LEAN program with a clear purpose: Lighter weights to build Endurance, Accessible to all, and Nurturing long-term health. Meanwhile, our South Gym is becoming an official High Rocks training facility starting July 14th, offering specialized workouts featuring more farmer carries, sled pushes, and running for those drawn to this increasingly popular competition format.With our gym's average member age being 43, we're prioritizing balanced programming that builds strength while supporting long-term health, including more unilateral movements to address muscular imbalances. Gone are the massive testing blocks—instead, assessments will be thoughtfully distributed throughout our programming, including classic CrossFit benchmarks that connect us to the global fitness community.The relationship between intensity, volume, and recovery stands at the heart of our philosophy. For those training 2-3 days weekly, higher intensity makes sense with ample recovery time. But for 5-6 day athletes, moderated intensity with consistent volume becomes crucial. As I remind members: "Consistency is numero uno. If your intensity is so high that you can't train consistently, it's not a good thing."Want to share your programming thoughts? I'm all ears! While we can't satisfy everyone all the time, we're committed to hitting that sweet spot of serving 90% of members most of the time with workouts that keep you coming back, feeling good, and making progress year after year.Follow us on Instagram here! https://www.instagram.com/doubleedgefitness/
