One of the coolest things about owning a gym for nearly two decades is seeing members come and go, move across the country, start families, build careers—and somehow still remain part of the community.Julia Camp is one of those people.After joining CrossFit Grandview in 2013, Julia and her husband Dan eventually moved back out west, but they've never lost touch with the gym. Through our Edge Online Programming and regular trips back to Columbus, they've stayed connected every step of the way.This week we sit down with Julia to talk about adventure, travel, hiking, fitness, and creating a life centered around experiences. We also discuss how she has continued to prioritize her health through every season of life and why she's currently the fittest she's ever been.Having Julia back in class this week was a reminder of what makes this community special.

Most people know Chase Ingraham as one of the voices of CrossFit—the analyst, broadcaster, and storyteller helping make sense of the chaos on competition weekend.What many don't see is the years of preparation, relentless pursuit of mastery, and life experiences that shaped the perspective behind the headset.In Episode 140, Chase sits down with Bryce for a conversation about loss, purpose, storytelling, and the responsibility that comes with having a voice people trust.Together, they explore the loss of Chase's father and how grief reshaped his relationship with time, ambition, and meaning. They unpack the unseen work behind elite broadcasting, the evolution of CrossFit from grassroots movement to global sport, and the challenges facing fitness as wellness becomes increasingly commercialized.From coaching and competition to identity, longevity, and legacy, this conversation goes far beyond the leaderboard. It's a conversation about becoming the person capable of carrying the weight of the life you've been given.—In this episode:• The loss of Chase's father and the lessons grief continues to teach• How tragedy changes your relationship with time and perspective• The hidden preparation behind becoming one of CrossFit's most trusted voices• Why great broadcasting is far more than talking into a microphone• The evolution of CrossFit through Chase's unique lens• What the future of CrossFit may look like over the next decade• The current state of the fitness industry• Wearables, recovery scores, and the growing obsession with optimization• Why trust and credibility matter more than attention• Lessons learned from years around the world's fittest athletes• What separates great coaches from good coaches• The power of storytelling in sport• Balancing performance, longevity, and fulfillment• What success means when the applause fades—A few moments that stood out:“Grief doesn't just take someone from you. It changes the way you see the time you have left.”“Most people only see the broadcast. They never see the thousands of hours spent preparing for the moment.”“The best storytellers aren't trying to be the story.”“The body was communicating long before technology started translating.”“CrossFit was never just about fitness. It was about proving people are capable of more than they think.”“Attention is easy to get. Trust takes years.”“The longer you're around excellence, the more you realize greatness is usually built in private.”“Success eventually stops asking what you've accomplished and starts asking who you've become.”—Timestamps00:00 Introduction04:18 Losing his father and navigating grief18:47 The lessons hardship teaches29:05 The hidden work behind broadcasting42:11 Building credibility and trust55:22 The evolution of CrossFit1:08:46 The future of fitness1:21:15 Wellness trends and modern health culture1:33:42 Wearables, data, and intuition1:45:27 What great coaches do differently1:57:53 Storytelling and human connection2:09:34 Lessons from elite performers2:21:11 Longevity, health, and sustainability2:34:08 Purpose, identity, and fulfillment2:46:19 Final thoughts—If this conversation sparked something in you, share it with a friend, training partner, coach, teammate, spouse, or family member.The best conversations don't end when the episode does.

What does it take to introduce an entirely new sport to a community? In this episode of Harnessing Your Wealth, Billy and Shaun Peterson sit down with Pedro Bautista, founder of SLC Padel Club, to discuss the rise of padel and his journey bringing Utah’s first dedicated padel club to life. Pedro shares how he identified an opportunity in Utah, the key differences between padel and pickleball, and why the sport is exploding in popularity around the world. He also explains how grassroots community-building—from school demonstrations to local partnerships—has helped grow awareness of the sport and create a thriving player community. Whether you’re interested in entrepreneurship, emerging sports, or building something from the ground up, this conversation offers valuable insights into spotting opportunities, taking calculated risks, and turning a vision into reality. Topics Covered: What is padel and how does it differ from pickleball? Why Utah was the perfect place for SLC Padel Club The challenges of launching a new sport in a new market Building community through schools, events, and local outreach The future of padel in Utah and the United States Connect with Pedro Bautista and SLC Padel: Instagram SLC Padel Facebook SLC Padel Website SLC Padel TikTok SLC Padel About our Guest:  Pedro Bautista is the founder of SLC Padel Club, Utah’s first dedicated indoor padel facility. Originally from Venezuela, Pedro moved to the United States to attend college in Florida before making Utah his home more than five years ago. A trained biomedical engineer, he built his professional career in medical manufacturing while maintaining a passion for fitness and athletics. Although his athletic background includes jiu-jitsu, boxing, CrossFit, running, and swimming, Pedro was introduced to padel through family and frequent visits to Miami and Europe, where the sport has experienced tremendous growth. Recognizing padel’s global popularity and the lack of dedicated facilities in Utah, he saw an opportunity to bring the sport to a new audience. Driven by a vision to create more than just a sports venue, Pedro founded SLC Padel Club as a community hub where people can connect, compete, and build lasting relationships through one of the world’s fastest-growing racket sports. About Padel:  Often described as a mix of tennis and squash. It is played in an enclosed box made of glass and wire mesh, allowing you to bounce balls off the walls. It uses a solid, stringless paddle with holes and a low-pressure tennis ball, and follows traditional tennis scoring.

From Weight Watchers and fad diets to food addiction programs, CrossFit, and bariatric surgery, Lauren reveals the lessons she learned along the way and how she now helps women transform their relationship with food, body image, and self-worth. Together, Kristen and Lauren explore the impact of reality television, The Biggest Loser, social pressure, emotional eating, body acceptance, self-awareness, and the importance of reconnecting mind, body, and spirit.

After moving to the United States at just 24 years old, she pursued opportunities that combined healthcare, innovation, and entrepreneurship, eventually creating a new model of rehabilitation that integrates injury recovery directly into athletic training.With a background in competitive sport, CrossFit, strength and conditioning, and physiotherapy, Tayla has spent years working at the intersection of performance and recovery. Alongside her clinical work, she now leads a technology company while continuing to help athletes and everyday people overcome chronic pain and return to the activities they love.What shaped Tayla's philosophy was not simply education, but her own experience with chronic back pain. Despite being highly trained and physically capable, she found herself trapped in the same cycle that affects countless people: pain, fear, inactivity, and frustration. Rather than accepting traditional approaches, she began experimenting with movement variability, progressive exposure, and alternative rehabilitation strategies on herself.This journey led her to challenge many long-held beliefs around injury, spinal health, and rehabilitation. Throughout the conversation, she explains how fear often becomes as disabling as the injury itself, why pain is not always a sign of structural damage, and how the brain plays a critical role in both creating and resolving chronic pain. Her message is simple but powerful: movement is medicine, confidence can be rebuilt, and recovery often begins by teaching the brain that movement is safe again.A major focus of Tayla's work today is bridging the gap between rehabilitation and performance. Rather than separating injury recovery from training, she integrates them into a single process that allows people to continue exercising while rebuilding strength, capacity, and confidence.We discuss the evolution of physiotherapy, the importance of load and movement over passive treatments, fascial slings, bracing, movement variability, and why many traditional rehabilitation models fail active people.She also shares insights on resilience, stepping outside comfort zones, the cultural differences between Australia and America, and why maintaining cardiovascular fitness, movement diversity, and lifelong athleticism is essential for long-term health. At its core, Tayla's work is about empowering people to move better, recover smarter, and build bodies capable of thriving well beyond injury.

What does it look like to go from 500 pounds to a CrossFit coach - not out of inspiration, but because fear was the only thing in the room?In this episode, Jamison sits down with Athena Perez: affiliate owner, coach, and author of a two-part memoir about identity, worth, and what fitness spaces get dangerously wrong.We explore how compounding habits shape who we become long before we notice, why a 40-day fast became Athena's clearest window into emotional eating and genuine purpose, and why placing people on pedestals - in the gym or anywhere else - always costs you something.

We break down why so many CrossFit athletes work hard yet feel stuck, then lay out a simple framework to choose a clear path based on your real goals. We share three practical ways to improve that hinge on honesty, learning, and what you do when a workout starts to unravel. • three types of CrossFit athletes and why choosing a lane matters • avoiding the hamster wheel of changing goals week to week • filming yourself to check movement standards without ego • using video to verify reps, weights, and score accuracy • why “gym cheating” wrecks progress and makes coaching harder • listening to the whiteboard brief to learn faster • doing simple research between classes to break plateaus • preparing before class to get more from the hour • spotting recovery gaps through hydration, sleep, and nutrition trends • defining the workout breaking point and training your self-talk • real intensity versus fake intensity and how to stop wasting time • keeping the long game in mind when scores feel personal 

This week Kate and I sat down with Sébastien Plasse, owner of Zion Gym in St. Barths, one of the most unique training facilities we've ever visited.Located just steps from the beach, Zion Gym combines a full CrossFit affiliate, HYROX training center, and massive commercial gym under one roof. But that's only the beginning. The facility also features a Tulum-style outdoor training area with sand, stone weights, boxing space, cold plunges, and a full coffee, juice, and smoothie bar—all completely outdoors in one of the most beautiful settings imaginable.What makes the story even more impressive is that Sébastien built the entire project just four years ago, post-COVID, without a massive investment budget, on one of the most expensive and exclusive islands in the Caribbean.In this conversation we dive into entrepreneurship, gym ownership, building community through fitness, and the realities of creating a world-class training facility in a place where most people would never imagine opening a gym.And make sure you watch all the way to the end of the YouTube video—I give a full walkthrough tour of Zion Gym so you can see this incredible facility for yourself.Sébastien's passion for CrossFit, training, and gym ownership is undeniable, and this was one of my favorite conversations we've had in a long time.

Every parent who cares about health eventually hits this wall: your kids don't want to do what you know is good for them — and the more you push, the harder they pull away.In this episode, we tackle Chase Club member Brendan's question about getting his 16-year-old son and 13-year-old daughter to move consistently, despite shared custody.We dig into why the modeling you do today isn't for the teenager in front of you — it's for the 26-year-old they'll become. We explore the power of structured environments over parent-led training, how external rewards bridge to internal motivation, and why finding the right entry point matters more than finding the perfect program.

What if becoming extraordinary isn't really about your own habits — it's about the habits you build that make everyone around you better?In this episode, we sit down with Jon Gordon, author of 33 books and 18 bestsellers, to explore seven habits that transform ordinary people into the kind of person others genuinely want to be around.We explore how the ratio of positive to negative interactions determines whether your relationships thrive, why shouting praise and whispering criticism builds deeper trust than you'd expect, and how the abundance mindset — giving freely, making the pie bigger, winning the person instead of the argument — creates energy that lifts everyone in your orbit.
