What does it take to transform from a late-night gamer fueled by fast food to one of the fittest members at a CrossFit gym? Cody Burch joins us to reveal his remarkable six-year journey that's about much more than physical transformation.Cody candidly shares how he went from playing World of Warcraft until dawn to becoming an elite CrossFitter, despite having zero athletic background. "I was already fat," he laughs, reflecting on his pre-fitness days. "The fuck's a dad bod? I'm not going to already live that life." This refreshing perspective drives his commitment to health even as life has evolved dramatically around him.The conversation explores how Cody has maintained his fitness through significant life transitions—marriage, fatherhood, and career changes. While many use these milestones as excuses to let their health slide, Cody doubled down on his commitment, recently completing a half marathon in 1:41 with minimal training. His secret? Consistency in CrossFit training that prepared him for challenges far beyond the gym walls.We dive deep into the mental aspects of training, including how Cody has shifted from high-volume "junk training" to more intentional, quality workouts. "I'm arguably the fittest, most well-rounded athlete and human I've ever been," he shares, despite training less than during his coaching days. This wisdom about recovery, sleep optimization, and the negative impacts of alcohol provides practical insights for listeners at any fitness level.The most powerful takeaway might be how fitness principles translate to success in other life areas. As Cody puts it, "Good things take time... to build something successful, it's not just going to happen randomly." His journey proves that consistency—showing up daily for just one hour—can transform not just your body, but your entire approach to life's challenges.Follow us on Instagram here! https://www.instagram.com/doubleedgefitness/

Imagine a fitness program that challenges you daily, that builds strength without sacrificing longevity, and creates a space where both seasoned athletes and newcomers feel equally at home. That's exactly what coaches David Syvertsen @davesy85 and Sam Rhee @bergencosmetic and guest coach Michael DelaTorre @thecoachmiked are creating with Outlast @outlast_fitness, their bold new venture at Bison Fitness.This episode takes you behind the scenes of their biggest project to date. After years of coaching CrossFit, they recognized a critical gap in the fitness landscape - many people need structured training with quality coaching but are either intimidated by CrossFit's intensity or finding themselves unable to recover from it as they age and life stressors accumulate.Outlast's programming philosophy eliminates prescribed weights and competitive scoring, replacing them with suggested rep ranges and an emphasis on movement quality. This creates an environment where members can push themselves appropriately without the pressure that often comes with CrossFit's competitive nature. As coach Mike beautifully articulates, "This is a great place to get yourself physically and mentally reset, take some pressure off yourself."The team candidly discusses their fears and excitement about this new endeavor. From programming challenges to creating the right atmosphere, they share the real concerns that come with launching something truly innovative. Their authenticity shines through when discussing the balance between business necessity and their genuine desire to serve more people through fitness.Perhaps most compelling is their vision of Outlast as a bridge - CrossFitters can use it as a recovery option while maintaining fitness, while newcomers can build strength and confidence before potentially exploring more intense training. This creates a unique common ground where different fitness backgrounds converge in pursuit of sustainable results.Ready to experience fitness that leaves you energized rather than depleted?
