Miss the weekly updates? We used the break to clear clutter, rebuild our studio, and sharpen a plan that actually moves you forward. This episode brings recognition, strategy, and a hard look at the small choices that add up—good and bad.We start by celebrating discipline you can see: the annual Committed Club and three new names on our 2,000 Visit Club. Those banners represent ten-plus years of showing up, proof that simple habits compounded over time beat hacks every time. We also fix a blind spot—missed check-ins. Sign up and check in so your work gets counted, our classes stay safe, and you show up on the lists you've earned.Then we dive into performance. As a HYROX affiliate, we tested a practical blend: regular CrossFit classes plus two to three targeted runs each week. The result? Better engines without abandoning strength. We share what worked, how to pace, and how to stack training with real-life schedules. That same blueprint now rolls into the CrossFit Open and the Reno Tahoe Odyssey. Expect running tracks in SugarWOD, a WhatsApp coaching group, and one-on-one planning for leg-specific demands like Dog Valley, Emerald Bay, and Kingsbury. Whether you're aiming for a first Open score or prepping for an ultra relay, we'll help you train with purpose.House rules matter too. Cubbies are day use; if you need storage, recovery room members can grab a locker so the shared space stays clean and usable. Curious about our Friday banger photos? There's no secret list—wear the brand, move well, and bring either grit or joy. Want a specific shot for a milestone? Ask and we'll bring the camera to your class.We close with a bigger lens: many people don't quit on health in one move—they erode by a thousand paper cuts. One skipped workout, one extra drink, one late night at a time. Flip it. Build a thousand reps of discipline—hydrate early, eat real food, lift often, run honest, sleep hard. Surround yourself with people who pull you up. That's how we avoid the midlife health cliff and keep building strength into our 40s, 50s, and 60s.If you're ready to move with intention, jump into the Open, join the HYROX and RTO tracks, or book a one-on-one to map your week. Subscribe, share this with a teammate, and leave a review telling us the one habit you're committing to this month.

What if everything modern culture tells us about fulfillment is wrong? In this compilation episode, we explore the two foundational lies that drive much of our dissatisfaction and drift: the belief that chasing fame, wealth, and power will make us happy, and the belief that if we're comfortable, we're somehow doing it wrong. Discover how these lies shape the decisions we make, the ladders we climb, and the regrets we carry into our final days.We unpack the four idols that distract us from what actually matters, why deliberately choosing discomfort builds the capacity for everything else, and what the dying wish they had known sooner. Learn how to recognize when you're being pulled toward the wrong things, how to build a life around what truly fulfills you, and why thinking about death isn't morbid - it's the tool that helps you live fully right now.

After Maddie Smith quit drinking, she just didn't know what to do with her hands ... until she discovered Cross Fit and built her epic physique! Now she's a top contender for “Ms. Health and Fitness 2026”, and she's doing it all for a veteran nonprofit. We talked about how she overcame alcoholism, an eating disorder, and endured recovery groups that didn't understand her trauma. Now, in peak physical condition she shared advice on conquering addictions and helping veterans through a partnership with Shields and Stripes, a veteran support program founded by Steve Nisbet, fellow athlete and Air Force Pararescue Specialist veteran. Nisbet described the life of an elite “PJ”, conducting casualty evac missions in combat zones, the tragic death of a fellow PJ, the Army's betrayal and the emotional toll of his service. But he powered through the pain and used his physical training expertise to create the acclaimed Shields and Stripes veteran support program. The program draws from the type of sports therapy used by pro athletes and Special Operations teams and combines it with customized nutrition plans and therapy from experienced psychologists. Nisbet described the incredible results attendees experienced at recent programs in Arizona and Florida, and shared stories of vets who no longer need the medications doctors said they couldn't live without. Smith also expressed her shared love of fitness as medicine, and what she will do if crowned contest winner, “If I win, I'm donating the $20K prize to the Shields & Stripes Foundation. I'm competing to break the stigma around recovery & mental health, not to win money. Giving the prize to a nonprofit founded by someone who rebuilt his life after tragedy & now helps others find their strength, means more than anything $20K could buy me.” Vote for Maddie Smith, fitness pro and Army spouse, here:https://mshealthandfit.com/2026/madeline-smith Check out the innovative, healing programs for veterans at Shields and Stripes, here:https://shieldsandstripes.org/ To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

Where do you feel most alive, and with whom? In this conversation with Daniel Coyle, author of Flourish, we explore why the most powerful experiences of our lives aren't about individual achievement—they're about shared, joyful, meaningful growth. Discover how to shift from chasing success alone to building the communities that make us feel deeply connected, fully present, and truly ourselves.We break down the two attention systems that shape how you experience the world, why awakening cues can transform ordinary moments into meaningful connections, and how saying yes to "yellow doors"—those unexpected opportunities you'd normally pass by—can lead to the richest relationships of your life. Learn how to become what Daniel calls an "athlete gardener," intentionally cultivating the conditions where you and the people around you can flourish together.

Talking about money shouldn't feel like emotional CrossFit, but for most of us it does. In this episode, Shar breaks down why money conversations get so charged—and why it's rarely about the numbers. You'll learn the difference between money values and money logistics, how childhood money wiring shows up in adult decisions, and how to stop trying to solve emotional issues with spreadsheets. Shari walks through four common money personalities (the Avoider, the Optimist, the Controller, and the Security-Seeker), explains what happens when they clash, and gives you practical timing rules, language swaps, and curiosity scripts that keep conversations from turning into fights, shutdowns, or silent scorekeeping.

Whether you're single, dating, partnered, married, cohabiting, or rebuilding after a breakup, this episode will help you communicate about money with more clarity, less defensiveness, and a lot more self-trust.

Preparing for your first CrossFit competition or HYROX race looks a lot like normal training, just with clearer priorities. Amanda, Brooke, and Morgan break down what shifts when you move from working out to training for an event. They talk through how CrossFit and HYROX overlap, where they differ, and why most first-time competitors train too hard, too often, without a clear strategy. They also cover the nutrition side of competition prep for both sports: eating enough to support volume, fueling longer efforts, carb avoidance, and why body composition goals often conflict with performance. This one's for anyone considering their first CrossFit or HYROX competition and wanting a realistic picture of training demands, recovery, and what matters most when you decide to sign up.

In this episode, I sit down with longtime friends and CrossFit athletes Annie Thorisdottir and Katrin Davidsdottir to talk honestly about their journeys into motherhood as elite athletes. We reflect on how pregnancy and postpartum seasons have reshaped how they view training, identity, and long-term athletic sustainability. We discuss the importance of shifting expectations, letting go of the pressure to "prove" anything during pregnancy or postpartum, and instead focusing on building a strong foundation for health, recovery, and longevity. Annie and Katrin share real experiences—both physical and mental—that highlight how transformative these seasons can be, even for the most seasoned athletes. This conversation is a reminder that pregnancy and postpartum aren't detours from athletic life—they're powerful catalyst seasons that can ultimately make you a more adaptable, resilient, and grounded athlete. Connect with Annie & Katrin:
Fad workouts have been with us for decades, but they go back much further than we realize. Long before CrossFit, Zumba, P90X, Tae Box, Jazzercise or Jack LaLanne, we had 19th century strongmen. These mustachioed showmen were the first global fitness influencers. They hauled trunks of weights onto steamships, toured the world, then sold exercise equipment through the mail. The most famous was Eugene Sandow, who broke chains, and created with his own body a "manned cavalry bridge" where he would lie down while men, horses, and a carriage were driven over his body. He even fought a lion in front of an auditorium and won, although the lion was almost definitely sedated. Today’s guest is Connor Heffernan, author of “When Fitness Went Global: The Rise of Physical Culture in the Nineteenth Century.” In this episode, we discuss: Ancient Egyptians were basically doing CrossFit thousands of years ago. They trained with swinging sandbags that look exactly like modern kettlebell flows. One of the first exercise practices to experience globalization was Indian club-swinging. Indian club-swinging, originating from the heavy training clubs used by Indian wrestlers and soldiers for centuries, was observed and adopted by British military officers stationed in India during the early 1800s. Early diet culture was a carnival of quack science. Victorian fitness magazines were filled with miracle tonics, starvation cures and pseudoscientific meal plans. Many of our “new” diet trends are rebranded versions of schemes first marketed with sepia portraits and dubious testimonials. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
What if you could train your body to stay calm under pressure the same way Navy SEALs do? In this conversation with Level 3 Wim Hof Method instructor Brandon Powell, we explore the three-pillar system of breath work, cold exposure, and mindset training that elite athletes and military operators use to control their stress response and perform when it matters most.You'll discover how cold exposure triggers a 500% dopamine boost, why five breaths can shift you from panic to calm, and the science-backed protocols you can start today with nothing more than a cold shower and your breath. This is about building resilience from the inside out—training your nervous system to become your competitive advantage rather than your limitation.
